I've got new interests now.

I doubt i'll ever watch a football match again on the telly never mind go to a stadium in the freezing cold to watch a load of toerags run about and get paid for it.....and to travel 100 miles to london spending £135 + hotel to watch a game they had no chance of winning? What was I thinkinG?

The Premier league will have to do something very amazing to win me back from my new hobbies. I've seen it all before.

This whole saga has me done with the premier league

Have not missed it one bit and frankly couldn’t give a rats arse about it anymore

Started fleabag seeing as it gets amazing reviews, didn't instantly grab me if I'm honest, the 4th wall stuff takes some getting used to and some of it seems overly cringey on purpose (the teeth guy for example) think as they've added some depth to her via her sister and her dad it's got a bit better, it's solid enough and I'll finish it but I'm not in the 10/10 crowd 

I thought fleabag was crap stopped watching it.

The mrs thought it was shite too

Alan McInally used to put himself a bit and Shaun Teale didn’t take much shit either

I hope so. Getting pissed off at the sunshine while being stuck in a flat! I'd feel better if it was floods! 

I live in a flat too. I have a duplex so have floors 2 and 3 of the conversion. Will be in Sutton Park again tomorrow, there is only so much cleaning I can do !

Lichfield Road has been busy all day. I had to nip out earlier and today has been the busiest day I have seen during the lockdown (only get out once or twice a week)

Its the weather causing it. If it was cold or wet, it would be easier for people to stay indoors. 

Next week will change that

Weather looks shite

Had a ridiculously busy day at work, nothing flashy for me so reverted to my comfort blanket drink which is Stella Artois

Some days it’s just needed

Strangely it’s the one beer I prefer from a can

Riverside Tavern by any chance?

Was there live music, good chance if so.

It was in the day so no live music, I only remember that there was a pool table and some strange folk in there

Well they tried to close it and it had a reprieve for a few years.

Whether that is still the case, not so sure.

Had to work an evening in Newport recently, it was exactly how everyone imagines it.

I remember being in a pub in Newport by the bridge over the river. One of the weirdest and most trying places I have ever had a drink in!

No idea whether it's interesting or means anything, but the 8PM clap was noticeably different. First couple of weeks I could probably see 40 people out clapping. Tonight was around 8.

Nobody was out on our street

Eden Hazard in with a shout?

 

I think that season he had when he decided to completely down tools rules him out IMO

Yeah yesterday was worse. I did a big walk yesterday so saw a lot of the park and I saw a few picnics. I think they were all people from the same house to be fair. but still shouldn't be doing it.

Biggest thing I've noticed is cyclists in the park. The park is definitely quieter, but I've never seen so many people riding bikes around there!

I was thinking of getting a bike again myself although it’s been a while since I have done any cycling!

 It certainly helps me mentally being in the park. I dread to think how badly I would be climbing the walls if I did not have it to escape to. 

I’ve always taken Sutton Park for granted having grown up in Sutton, it really is a wonderful place.

Yep same here. I'm a 5-10 minute walk from the park. Been heading there every day for a walk or run. It's keeping me sane.

I still can't be arsed to go every single day  But as soon as I'm out I'm so glad I've done it

I was really surprised how quiet it was today. I went via the Boldmere gate around lunchtime. I feared the worst expecting to see loads of people about being as the weather was so good. I was walking the dog and only saw other dog walkers, cyclists and runners. Didn’t see any groups bigger than groups of two and that wasn’t many to be honest. Having said that M&S and Pets at Home we’re really quiet at Beggars Bush too

I think this weekend will be tough. Hot weather and being in lockdown. 

I know i've said it before but I really need to move and get somewhere with a garden. Think it would be good for my mental health as well. 

I don’t have a garden either so I have been going to Sutton Park

I’m lucky to have it 3 mins from where I live

Surely he knows you can't leave the scene of an accident. Him deciding to make an exit certainly creates some suspicion . It doesn't mean he was drunk, he may have had a little tot and wondered if given a breathalyser he may be over the legal limit. Who knows ? It's all conjecture. 

If I’d been at Ross McCormacks all night with Toni Capaldi I would have left the scene

He would have failed every test under the Sun!!

Oh yes, the Club statement says he will be fined so I guess that counts as has been punished.

Totally agree on McCormack. It gives me the creeps that loser is still hanging around the club preying om our players.I could understand the youth players being taken in but Jack? It’s beyond belief...

I imagine a night at Ross McCormacks would be  great session

Yes, there do suddenly seem to be lots of fireworks

It’s like Saigon here

Clap for the nhs has seemed to somehow morph into bonfire night mkII

Any excuse for a firework. Dog is going mental

From what I’ve read it might be closer to 14 days behind, but either way their ICU capacity is double ours and once patients go in they tend to stay there for weeks. 

It appears we are royally screwed. 

A study in the USA is showing that the virus remains in your respiratory tract for 37 days after recovery

Sample size was only 12 patients but that’s quite worrying 

You can be infectious for over a month after being classed as recovered if true

You sound more organised than those of use in the public sector in non-frontline roles classed as key workers! It's quite choatic at our place at the moment, with absolutely no indication of time scales. 

I think they are afraid of mentioning the real timescales

I have one of those in my "friend"-lists. Attention-needy. I was at that particular shop 20 minutes before her so I knew that the 3 empty sections were, flour, frozen pizza and frozen microwave food. The rest of the shop (supermarket size) was filled to the brim with items, even bogrolls, absolutely nothing showing any signs of shortage. Normal amount of people in the shop as well for a mid day

She promptly took 3 closeups of the empty shelves and a post saying OMG OMG OMG

If there ever was a time to volley somebody in the jaw.........

What a 🛎 

My company (I have been classed as a key worker) have made provisions and plans to run well into 2021

I work for the blue light section of my company and the email from my CEO this morning on a Saturday has convinced me this is going to go on for a very long time

Had a curry last night and used half my loo roll with my morning dump today

I should have thought about the consequences of a jalfrezi

Looks like I will be working from home
