Contactless payment being bumped to £45 as of next week apparently.

Also special props to DT for that being so quick, its outrageous but so so quick. Plus you beat QC to it as well

Sorry to hear that. That must be a pane.

I could see right through that joke.

Smashing puns, but really very transparent.

[wakka]

I've been trying to think of another window pun for so long, my eyes glazed over.

[monel]

There was a small window of opportunity for puns.



Earlier, this thread almost went full Bill Paxton.

Been lucky enough to actually stay at home. Feel like they need to be stricter if this is going to have any effect.

Good news for a vaccine. It's not mutating much at all. https://www.washingtonpost.com/healt...5b5_story.html

Now 2 people within the department self-isolating with symptoms. Work is trialling 2 days in/3days home working - been close to both thought so... yay!

All clear here, but sadly one of my good friends is currently fighting for his life, he's wasn't in the best of health to begin with, he is on a ventilator and in an induced coma...

My wife has been working from home since last week, thankfully our son is now home with us and I have also been home since last week, we managed to get a small Asda delivery today, I'm not venturing out until absolutely necessary.

Stay home if you can and stay safe everyone

Sorry to hear about your friend Chojin. I hope there is some sort of chance of recovery

I'm the only dental nurse working today, luckily only seeing face-to-face half a day today, I have a lot of cleaning and stock to sort out on my own but (I am still waiting for this to be proved on paper) once I have finished my nursing part of work, unless reception are in dire straits, I am allowed to go home early which is where id rather be than be around with random people failing to read the signs/ follow the rules of phoning ahead and not enter the practice unless booked in.

Anyone tried to go to the supermarket since the lockdown? We are only trying to go in 1-2 times a week and some supplies at home are getting a bit low (mainly cleaning stuff for house and ourselves and milk). Are they stopping people without a list? Yesterday morning I still saw loads of people out, particularly Joggers, at least 50 in an 8 minute drive. Today was much quieter, drove past 4 builders standing a good 3 meters apart making a square on the path having a smoke.

A nurse I used to work with at a nursing home had to go out and buy washing powder for the home as their supplier failed to arrive (I cannot imagine working there with this happening, It was bad enough when Noravirus went around yearly) on her day off. Work supplied her with a 'certificate' to prove she was out to get a job done.

If I don't go after work today I am not likely to until the weekend which I would guess will still be a busier time.

I'm going to have to venture out later for some supplies.

Not looking forward to it at all if I'm honest.

Morrisons near me are now doing X amount in only at a time (good in theory). However its just causing big ques with everyone bunching up outside and yakking.

Facepalm.

Everyone pushing the same trolleys. Seems a bit futile. I wore gloves and then put them in the wash, but.... someone has to put the stuff on the shelves. Basically, everyone is getting this eventually.
