Just saw a decent sized private jet fly overhead. First plane all day. We’d normally see a fair few vapour trails heading to the US and canaries. Quiet bliss here at the moment. I think there will be a real push on carbon reduction post this crisis.
Every cloud has a silver lining.

did you see the news piece on Venice where they showed fish in clean canals for the first time in decades.
There was a squirrel looking in the window earlier. His expression said "it's our time now fuckers".

Bring back Icarus and The Rigger, and both PasTa and RasTa
Supposedly going up a mountain tomorrow with Icarus, Rigger and mdoug. Will report back. Might try and get them back for a couple of corona. Although let's face it, Rigger could easily be among us already😂
Sorry maybe too hard a few of those shows in hindsight but would have been good spots. I thought with pictures added it would help more. I was all about British sitcoms growing up, ill post up results later. And yes correct on that one.
Its just that it irks me these fcukers you hear who proclaim ''Ah I loved dads Army always watched it, fcukin watched it over and over'' Yet wouldnt care to know a couple of the more fringe characters. Not suggesting there is any here.
I suspect Ricky Hatton is one of those his passion was Only Fools and Horses, and drives a replica 3 wheeler. Hes a massive fan. But I bet he doesnt know the barmans name.
They want you to change dates, the price will come in higher. Wait till flight is cancelled so you have no option obv to get on flight then you apply for a refund which at the minute is, a complete fucking nightmare, as when you go to page it will tell you your reservation number is wrong among other things.
I know all this as I'm part of a Fuerteventura group on fb and I have a few, flights booked this year. Nobody yet as far as I know has successfully got a, refund only ripped off handing out same money again on cost of changing flight

1. No idea, never watched it

3. Fella on the right is so familair but can't name the show
4. Dempsey & Makepiece. She was the first person I got a horn to, it was a golden age. Chief Super was Gordon something, no idea of his surname
5. I know the faces in this but can't for the life of me think of the name
6. Same as number 5, this will bug me
7. Can't think of the name but was it the US one that your man from little house on a praire was an angel in? May be totally wrong on this one

Mike was the barman, or at least the owner of The Nags head
ah yeah, got them mixed up. He was a classic alright.
It all went downhill when they introduced Del's live-in lady friend imo
Never a truer word. Cassandra was a right pain in the hole too which didnt help. That was acceptable if it was just that but they should never have brought in a longstanding love interest for Del. Then jumped the shark when in the money.
If shit hits the fan here, are you interested in us sharing an apartment over there?
We have one lad working with us and he's gone off the deep end completely.
Way beyond fear now, I'm talking Irish government conspiracy theories. For example, the guy that recovered from it appearing on Claire Byrne a few weeks ago sounding "way too scripted".
1.) Name of Granvilles girlfriend in Open all Hours Nurse Gladys Emmanuel
2.) Sir name of Fletchers cellmate Godber
3.) Name the show It Ain't Half Hot, Mum
4.) Name the show. Bonus point for name of the Chief Super pictured. Dempsey and Makepiece, Bonus Gordon Spikings
5.) Name the show Fresh Fields
6.) Name the show Ever decreasing circles
7.) Name the show Our House
8.) Whos is pictured with Basil Lord Melbury

Well done on Dempsey and Makepiece and your getting the bonus pts too just for Gordon. She was hot if a little too angelic.
You get Godber too and you were getting there with the US show Our House. Always has a moral message without being too preachy. So yeah Highway to heaven style i suppose. That fella fixed a few wagons along the way in his own way, was nobodys fool. He was in Cocoon too.
This makes you the runaway winner with Raoul Duke a gallant silver medallist.

Despite doing a masters specifically in banking (where my notable achievement in 2000 was writing a thesis advocating a bright future for mortgage-backed securities), I can never quite remember precisely how money works.
Would anyone know: US will probably need to borrow $2 trillion this year (the trillion already planned, plus the extra trillion from the planned corona package). Where are they going to get that money given no-one in the world will have the money to give them? Especially with US interest rates at 0%.
Your good friend China - They already hold a shit tonne of US debt so an extra trillion won't phase them.
Jockey injured at Dundalk and taken to hospital. Why is racing going ahead potentially putting unnecessary stress on the health system? It seems egregious at this stage.

Seriously? Interest rates are the price the market charges for lending money. This whole story is not about the equity market falls its about how stupidity cheap it is for governments to borrow money. Helicopter money all around until that changes....now that will be one big bubble popping!!

Anything that can go ahead with minimal threat of spreading infection should imo once correct procedures are in place.
I'd imagine one injured jockey make up a very, very tiny % of workplace accidents today nationally. And there are more people outside my window currently than at Dundalk racecourse.

I imagine Rigger is flossing on tiktok and hasnt got time for us old fogeys

As a huge racing fan, I couldnt agree more, it's wreckless and self serving at this stage.
Question Sam - how did they phrase did they use the word negative or something like not-positive?
When I used to go for HIV tests every six months (I was a bit of a slut) they'd always say negative, and everytime it took a second for it to register as a good thing.
Don't know of your particular circumstances (people you live with who could have possibly been infected etc.) but if I was ill and had mild symptoms and suspected Covid 19 I think I would have been hoping for a positive test result.
I'm keeping an eye on Denmark & Norway, the former identifying its first case 3 days before us and latter 2 days.
Similar median age, standard of living and population size I think it offers a decent barometer for where we should be trending towards and a vague idea of how we're handling things overall.
Denmark currently with 1,255 confirmed and 9 deaths while Norway has 1,922 and 7.

They didn't phrase anything at all to be honest. The 1850 number is now almost impossible to reach so was advised to contact my GP. They went above and beyond and tracked my result to the lab it was in and managed to get someone there to release my result verbally, not the done thing Im sure. I wont have anything in writing for they do not know how long. As suggested on here it seems like if waiting for a result no news is good news, those who test positive it seems ARE contacted within 24 to 48 hours.
I had been in regency for three weeks of tournaments, shit food and disjointed sleep. I went from that to hedging, 30 bookies a day cash and dirty bookies pens in my mouth. Before Cheltenham my parents actually brought up the virus and I said, as I echoed here, that I felt it was media nonsense because how we communicate has become corroded. I gave myself no shot of NOT getting it. None. This time around I m going to give myself EVERY shot at not getting it. Like I said we have no control and the world has a sense of humour so cant guarantee anything but Ill be following every practical step I can not to put my loved ones or anyone else in danger because of my actions.
His rival it seems, had broken his dreams,By stealing the girl of his fancy.Her name was Magill, and she called herself Lil,But everyone knew her as Nancy.

This came into my head and lots of my mathsy mates said the same, but I was at the time staying with two elderly parents both with underlying conditions and significant ones, and if its a choice between having a virus in my body that the world doesn't yet know much about or not, I going to go with grateful for not having it right now.
Today one of my co-workers tested positive. He is now in Hospital. He had been in Madrid and was flown back on a rescue flight on the 17th.
He started to get a cough and wasn't feeling good, called 111 and they asked him to come to the test clinic in Luqa near the airport. Got a call 1gr 15 mins later that it was positive and they came for him and he is in the Disease control Unit at the main hospital.
He was kept at his apartment after getting back, so the rest of us are fine. But he has heart and BP issues and is a bit worried.
On another note, Tony and I had flights to Ireland and Scotland for 7/8th April. Got a cancellation email for Tony's and did it from the link in email. On the Ryanair site it showed both bookings cancelled. Used the app to cancel mine as I had no email.
More details than the one with the email, but no major issue getting the refund request in.
Granville was always chasing Maggie Olerenshaw - that pic is Arkwrights love Nurse Gladys Emanuel.
Lenny Godber.
Aint Half Hot Mum
No idea.
Fresh Fields (or it's sequel French Fields)
Ever Decreasing Circles.
No idea.
Lord Melvey, or something like that (though not a lord, conman)
Fallen Madonna with tbb.
Young pic of Pvt Walker maybe.
fuck me I'd love to watch a major start to finish now.
Might just pick one and pretend it's a weekend for it.
I love the majors with carnage.
Geoff Ogilvy’s around winged foot was great.
Watched Seve’s first masters win recently where he came close to blowing it against a load of no name yanks
