Member Info for oldskool

Franny...thankyou. Did you see what I did with the age bracket ??
Safety. Ok. You make a good point. 61 it is. We could use Gosport as a holding/quarantine station just to make sure. Over 75's....well there is always Eastbourne.

Franny. I would put all the over 60s on the Isle Of Wight. Problem solved. Use the navy to police Southampton water, thereby prohibiting any escapes and keeping the RN busy and active. Revisit the island in October.

STV. All over that. Although I would add in a good woman (or partner). I'd be lost without Mrs Oldie.

Drink good quality whiskey....then it doesnt matter who tells you what.

Inky. Labour are dead for ten years. I have said before I do not see them surviving that long. 3 way split. Corbyn was the nail in the coffin of the labour of old. Lisa Nandy sums it all up very nicely. Wow. How did politics fall to such lows? Perhaps it always was. SNP could also implode.

But surely you dont want to see Labour get another pounding? This at least gives them time to sort out another leader (all 3 options are shxt)...and continue down their path of self destruction. Cheerio labour as we know it, what will fill the void though?

Hbob...what democracy has been shut down? Is that just the democracy that didnt give the answer you wanted?

Reddington. Agreed. Is bottom in? Hmmmm. Another dead cat bounce? Bloxdy hell, I dont know. Does anyone? No holidays booked for me. I was considering a trip to Pompey at Easter but that place is bad enough without Corona ha ha ha (ok, dock yards and Southsea are very nice inc Spice Island).

Hbob. We are going to have to suck it up, and as some leading scientists are now saying....we are going to need exposure to it to avoid this every year. Herd needs vaccinating it seems. Covid looks like it is here to stay. It (a virus like this) was always coming, it is now here. Kill or cure seems to be the only way. Lets just hope the spread can be slowed. I have accepted that it is now too late to contain it, so roll the dice we must. Just keep eyes on those over 60 (70) and/or with underlying health conditions.

Not anymore Hbob. I have have changed. I love identity politics. I think Lisa N is right. Male cage fighters and MMA enthusiasts that haven't quite made it as the best in their field should be able to say (self identify) that they are a woman and thereby fight women. Seems fair to me, and it will allow them to be the best at their sport. Win win. Go Lisa, go lisa, go lisa. I mean, we should focus on this, it is right and proper in these challenging times.

Hbob. Yeah. Nasty people. I blame that there austerity. Yeah. Let's get labour in. Lisa Nandy is brill....

All this talk of bell shapes makes me think about Mr Stock Market, he is bellxnd.

Fxxk a duck. I have joked about 4500. At this rate is looks like a possibility. IAG could get into the £2ish region. 2.50ish? Below? Bonkers. This just seems to be like an Australian bush fire...self perpetuating and out of control, and not a competent fire fighter to be seen.

Troajan. So you know the Spainish investors are the same ones? No you dont. One didnt invest because he could raise the funds, much like MM didnt invest at 0.5 despite his intent. No more placings....now who said that? Intend to buy....who said that? BOD intend to buy....who said that? MM didnt buy, but did (subsequently) sort himself out a nice little loan as did Mr P. Nice little earner when you can get it. Let's see the figures in a few weeks. More will be known about Corona then too, and how the 'system's is managing. A few weeks is a long time in market movements like these.

Hmmmm. Interesting times, or not.

Franny, I have taken to using warm boxer trunks on my head. Not sure if this stops the corona virus, but it definitely keeps people away. So by default it works.

Safety, thank you for that correction. I do like learnings.

Confirmed Italian cases 7375. Confirmed deaths 366. I make that 10+% on known figures. Modern health care in a developed nation with free press. So, who thinks China is lying? What needs to happen is a true representation of infection rates, as many could be infected but only display mild cold like symptoms. Knowing this number may well lower the mortality rate substantially. Or we truly are on the cusp of some nasty bad ass stuff. I was initially told 17%. Tehran was lobbing out figures over 20%. Hmmmm. Oh yes, factories are still closed. Fear not, it is just the flu. Come on South Korea, tells us some good news as you appear to be on it. What about something from one of the cruise ships? The latter has all gone very quiet. This is not one black swan but many, a whole blo£dy flock of them.

Westh1. This is not a correction. This is 2008 unwinding. Trigger finally got pulled. It is going to be a rough ride. Safety is right, those buying will make vast amounts of money over the years. Sadly some will lose a lot and pension pots will be smashed.
Boythorpe. Glad to see WRES are leaking RNS related information ha. Funny old game hey? Was it over red wine and olives with the on-site security?

Is off. They have stopped trading. Back up again but for how long. This is so fu#king bad. You couldnt make it up. Could the FTSE hit 4500? Bloxdy hell, it could. Talk about blood on the streets. Unbelievable.
