I don't know if the heat is getting to you TF, but there's a big difference between political banter and personal abuse and yet again trying to disclose personal details. I think at this time you might back off a little instead of trying to be as bossy as normal, although I understand you may not be posting as you intend if you are preoccupied about the way things look to be accelerating in Thailand. Hope your health holds up - I'd hate any misfortune to overtake you.

Magic Grandpa will be isolating at home on account of his age in accordance with NHS guidelines. That's why the old hypocrite was in the house of commons yesterday.

Has stopped responding on my watch list. All other stocks seem ok. Any ideas?

They were talking of doing all the voting and counting behind closed doors. This would ensure Wrong-Daily gets 110 percent of the vote even without Diane Abbott counting it.

Some people never fail to surprise - just seen a local GP out for a walk with her husband and son, on their way home for a Mother's Day lunch at home. The son is a doctor too, he is on a day off but he works at a hospital about 40 miles away. His ward has six confirmed corona patients in it. If the NHS has people this stupid working for it, what hope done have - but you can guarantee the doctor and his mother will talk at length of how the NHS is being let down...

A doctor friend in Milan tells me that if you arrive at hospital and are aged 60 or more you get turned away. Full stop. That's how brutal the situation is, and how heart-rending it is for the medics. It matters not what Cummings may have said, if it gets like Italy then lots of people are going to die, especially the old. He could have been 'quoted' as saying 'all old people will should have their own ensuite room and free beer', but the government will be led by the virus full stop.

Downing Street have categorically rejected the story in an 'on the record' denunciation, and assert the claim had not been put to No 10 in advance and contained “invented” quotes. A loose canon journalist fishing for a good story I suspect, The Times probably taken for a ride. Or infiltrated by lefties.

They're trying to find something to have a go at the government with, but failing badly.

Thanks for that Chester. I've been hanging mine upside down, which may explain why they never taste too good - a bit leathery and crunchy.

Negotiate your way out of that one Michel.

With less sport on tv I find I am talking to my wife a lot more. I found out she's been laid off from her job at Woolworths.

The Eurovision Song Contest has been cancelled. That's lifted my mood no end.

The thing with coronavirus is that it may be unpleasant and very dangerous, but it is finite. When it is below a level to be of concern there will be a leaner market with a lot of room for expansion ready to take off.

Also, with all due respect TF, you don't even have a free press from which to glean information and thus you cannot be able to produce a properly informed opinion.

And we can be sure Boris is getting his advice from the best in the business and will be subject to scrutiny on a daily basis, whereas I suspect TF's local witch doctor may be the greatest extent of his source of information.

But he's basically putting out the advice of the Chief Medical Officer, as it seems is the Irish government too. Which part(s) of the Chief Medical Officer's advice (for that's what you're disagreeing with) do you think are defective?

Not sure about your political stance TF, but is fair to say you find some BJ spoutings a little hard to swallow?

But the way things are arranged, you can't vote on removal of George and Satu until about three weeks after agreeing to consolidate, and if you approve consolidation then any 5 percent holding now will be massively diluted, and the chances of the Action Group remaining as potent a force as they are now will be badly diminished won't it?
