Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
My mum went into a care home 4 weeks ago. Dad rang on Friday to tell me that there were 2 cases of Chinese 19 in the home and all were confined to their rooms. Mum died Saturday night, we don't think it was the virus but we don't know. I am not allowed to travel to the UK for the funeral because of the current situation, which has left me feeling more than a little helpless and lost. I should be there to look after me dad but instead I'll pass my time plotting the downfall of the CCP.
Take care all.
I've never had a fluffy one, did have a really hairy one some time ago
CAN THE ADMINS OF THIS GROUP DO A BETTER JOB OF MONITORING WHO IS ALLOWED IN THIS GROUP. WE HAVE A NEW MEMBER, A VERY ELDERLY MAN, HE HAS BEEN PRIVATE MESSAGING MEMBERS, SENDING THEM NUDE PICTURES OF HIMSELF IN VERY NASTY POSES, ALONG WITH CLOSE UP PICTURES OF HIM IN HIS UNMENTIONABLES. HE IS OFFERING AN IPHONE 8+ IN EXCHANGE FOR SEXUAL FAVORS. I AM ESPECIALLY BOTHERED BECAUSE IT TURNED OUT TO BE AN IPHONE 6 AND OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH IT. IT RUNS SUPER SLOW AND THE CAPS LOCK IS STUCK ON. THANK YOU!
You know what I think
Bit like a doughnut running a sheep farm
Good morning, I hope you are all well.
Starting my 3rd week of lockdown which has now been extended to 15th April, not been too bad so far the most annoying thing is the weather has been more early Jan than late March. Yesterday we had the first death in the department and now have 19 hospitalised.
Good luck and Stay safe.
Safety, I agree 100% with that.
Just about every country is running around fire fighting. I have no medical knowledge but wonder if, in the long term Humanity would be better off to let it burn it's self out? bwtfdik
av a goodun and keep safe
I'm underwater here (like most) but it's like standing in a warm shower with the Jumper washing my back, compared to my pension statement that arrived today. I don't have faith or belief, I have an empirical nature and make my decisions on the information available to me at the time. I still however seem to get plenty of things spectacularly wrong, but I'm only humanish. I don't do wooda, cooda, shooda either. It is what it is, so get on with it and don't waste time or damage your emotional state thinking what might have been. I'm still relatively healthy and in good spirits due mainly to my quality of life. I am wondering what the world will be like if this can't be contained as those in the know are telling us. I do think it's a shame that we need a desperate situation like this for people to come together.
Good luck all and stay safe.
Apparently his brain is self isolating
Well, I wonder what today will bring?

Blimey, wonder if there's a little leak on production. Never been that watertight here
Good luck all
you know I’m not a messer:
If you receive an email or WhatsApp with the subject “ding dong” dont open it, its Jehovahs Witnesses, the sneaky ferkers are working from home.
I mean no offence and apologise if any is taken but a chuckle is worth a lot in times like this
of life under lockdown
I live in a low population density part of the world (there are less people living in Gascony now than there were in the middle ages) I live quite a solitary life so not really much of a change for me other than some friends and I go out to lunch a couple of times a month, which we are not able to at the moment.
I fill in my form and take the dog out, usually mid afternoon. We go about 500m along the ridge and return, which is about as much as the old dog can manage these days, don’t see anyone or any vehicles. I’m ok with this and Edouard Philippe’s update yesterday evening was “Leaving the house for exercise has been limited to staying within 1km of home, once a day, for no more than 1 hour”.
If you’re out without your form it’s a 135 euro fine. If you're caught more than 3 times in 30 days for for being out without valid reason you will now be rewarded with 6 months prison and a 3750€ fine. This seems to be working as in my department “The Gers” there are 4 reported hospital cases 3 of whom are marked as recovering and no deaths as yet.
I had a missed delivery note in my letterbox for a recorded delivery. I guess it was number 2 post lady who is incapable of pressing the bell on the side of my post box and walks around with a permanent scowl on her face. Number one post lady is lovely, always smiling and we usually have a quick chat if I’m outside when she arrives. Anyway the note said I could pick up my letter from LaPoste in the nearest little town from the day after next, which is impossible as it’s shut until April due to the contre virus measures, such is life in France one can only laugh.
I wish each and every one of you good health and hope your lockdown will be no more onerous than mine.
Good luck

Yes mate, my son is sorted with all his documentation so he can work and is part of the French system, just can't do anything at the mo. The plan was I'd demolish the parts of this house that are not needed and get the foundations in for the new building. He was then going to come down for a few months to help me build and put a new roof on but I guess it'll just have to be next year. Not gonna fret about it though I have plenty of other jobs to keep myself occupied. Still doing the baking for myself and 3 lots of friends but I've run out of cake flour.

Morning Bob, how's things up north?
Plane with 5 passengers on board, Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, Angela Merkel, The Pope and a ten year old school boy. The plane is about to crash and there are only 4 parachutes.
Trump said I need one. I’m the smartest man in the USA and am needed to sort out the problems of the World!’, takes one and jumps.
Boris said ‘I’m needed to sort out Britain’. He takes one and jumps.
The Pope said ‘I need one as the world needs the Catholic Church.’ He takes one and jumps.
Angela said to the ten year old: "You can have the last parachute. I've lived my life, yours is only just starting."
The 10 year old replied: "Don’t worry, there are 2 parachutes left, the smartest man in the USA took my school bag."
Good, some people are beyond educating. I hope the fine will be as punitive as they are here
How very public spirited of you ********
You too sis, glad you're still with us
