    I hope you ran about cupping your ears when you scored. 

    In fact, I will be sorely disappointed if footballers don't do this to the empty stands if games get played behind closed doors. In fact again, did fat Ronaldo do that at one point or have I just made that up?

    Yep, I think they should be jumping over the advertising boards, arms aloft, right up to the front of the empty terraces/stands.  Nodding their heads and taking the acclaim.  Should even be giving it the "get-it-right-up-ye" if they score in front of where the opposition fans would normally be!   #scenes

    I heard and read various accounts of restrictions to buy only two or three items of the one product at supermarkets and small store not working, some people are still doing what they want. Stores having 30 minute queues and not enough staff to police the restrictions at the tills, staff being intimidated by customers etc.

     

     

    Pal was in TESCO today and in his basket (amongst other items) were 4 snack cereal bars - had to put one back!!!

    That’s us (NZ) shut the border to anyone who isn’t a citizen or permanent resident. I went to the local supermarket today in Auckland and the place was mental. My Saturday football has been canned now too, things are starting to ramp up over here as much as the UK, and I do feel for my gran who lives alone back in Scotland who isn’t going to have any visitors for the foreseeable.

    pics?

    In a plot twist that took even him by surprise, novelist Clive Cussler dies at age 88.

    A Deep Six for poor Clive.

    Got nearly all of the Dirk Pitt novels up in the attic somewhere.  RIP.

     

     

    I note elsewhere that the world's oldest man has died...again.  That title seems to be a bit of a poisoned chalice tbh.

    (Chitetsu Watanabe, 112, passed away at a nursing home in his native of Joetsu, Niigata Prefecture in northern Japan)

    I always see these folk and think "maybe it's me that's mad?" and that I'm missing something obvious. We're not going to get there any quicker.

    I assumed it was because they didn't like the idea of having to put their luggage at the other end of the plane from where they were sitting.  You end up being right at the coos tail when disembarking 'cos no bugger will pass your case back.

  6. As far as food goes - Broccoli and Cauliflower - I can't get over the texture.  Don't mind them blended in a vegetable soup but not raw/steamed.  Also butter beans - i've gagged trying to get those swallowed  (insert Kenneth Williams gif)

    Away from foodstuffs - I have a bit of a panic about using public loos for a "sit down" visit.  I've seen me almost double over with stomach pain rather than use a toilet in a pub or on a train.  As I've aged, I have relaxed a bit but still not great.  (apologies to anyone eating their lunch and reading this)

     While nobody picked anyone who's already dead this year....

    I'm always amazed at some of the names that are picked and are still alive... I'm convinced (until checking their wiki page) that some of them died years ago...Henry Kissinger, Tommy Docherty and Olivia De Havilland.
