  1. Just off a meeting with some Texans and some continentals, Texans ask what it's like over here, we Euro folks explain lockdown etc. and they say "Geez it's not as bad as that here" We euro's all think to ourselves you shouldn't call it "bad" you should call it "good" - and the Texans in question were VERY senior/executive type folks !!! . US is going to get creamed by this thing.
  2. Well yes, I would, but Mrs treats parcel like it is garlic and she was a vampire and if it makes her happy for me not to touch it, so be it.
  3. I'm not too bad as am WFH but Mrs very wound up - Amazon parcel and dogfood parcel are in quarantine in porch until tomorrow a.m. (2 days) Must admit working from home is a distraction, to a point, but the whole social distancing thing if you meet someone when out is bizarre and unnerving IMO, lucky though we live on edge of farmland/countryside so the dog walk is usually "Other people" free. I wouldn't want to be living city center just now.
  4. This. Pretend to have it and publicise but if they then do get it = cue panic about "there is no immunity".
  5. Can you catch it via your chuff ??
  6. In France you can go out "solo" for jogs/dog walks, exercise, go to work, shopping etc according to fella I deal with (Parisienne, who's got a canny cough just now mind!!) so long as you have your completed form stating the purpose of what you're doing and where from/to, Police everywhere checking and dishing out spot fines if you are "off route". Can only go out one person per car for any reason.
  7. No argument here and Rangers are still dead The Rangers* might be maintaining the tradition as well
  8. We've been told to work from home for next 4 weeks (minimum) I did a fair bit anyway, but US office folks (even those who like us here can work from home easily) have been put on a 2 group pattern to "protect" them, one week wfh, next week in the office, rinse and repeat - madness. It's going to go horrific over there I fear, when it hits those without medical insurance and those folks start dying from lack of care !!! Of course I could be wrong, the President reckoned it was all a hoax.
  9. They're all at the beach (Seaton Sluice) with their kids, Mrs walked the dogs this a.m. she said it was like height of summer and mobbed, windbreaks tents the lot!!
  10. Not really odd at all, if crown prince’s people say, “say nowt” you’re not going to go risk getting Khashoggied are you .
  11. Nope no car, just some stuff we’ve accumulated over the decades, working through my thick end of 2000 x 7inch vinyl next !! Could be an old telecaster in them
  12. I paid £1700, which is probs a bit over the top but I’m happy, she is immaculate and £1300 was basically free money from stuff I had in my garage, lock up, cupboards for years etc
  13. Good things come to those who wait. 1990 Standard, basically cost me £400 as I sold a ton of shit on ebay over last few weeks
  14. Was going to go in on Saturday but saw they were sold out, will keep powder dry for a while I reckon.
  15. Stand down - sold out, back to mulling May just hang on a flog some shit and get a daddy LP
  16. Strangely it's me doing the prevaricating and trying to find a window where I can be arsed to get up to town
  17. The doesn't stop an ownership change though, can happen after a takeover, lets face it it's unlikely any owner would fail those tests given we're not being bought by the Russian mafia unlike some.
  18. Nah still prevaricating, never got chance to get into town over weekend
  19. Yeah would never buy a guitar online tbh, I'll know as soon as I hold it if I like it or not
  20. Cheers, it is Guitar Guitar I'll be going to, if I go Half tempted to trade in my J45 and go full on LP
  21. That one is £899 in sale (list price is £1199) a Standard is around £1600 I reckon (£1300 if you're lucky)
  22. I should never have sold my full on Les Paul those years ago, want that sound again but can't justify laying out for a full on LP just for me to play in my office - when I'm supposed to be working from home
  23. Should I or should I not ????? Mrs reckons I should, but that just means she's after something !!!!
