The latest office advice I am hearing is that you should only now use your own pen. Take your own pen with you everywhere. Do not under any circumstances use someone else's pen.

Office Pen Stealers, you know who you are, your revolution is over. You lost. Get over it.

Knowing RM, roll the ill and dead into the gutter and bring in new people on half the wage. Right Unionists?

In some ways it's refreshing that a mere microbe can put G8 countries into lockdown.

Maybe a stark reminder that humankind is not above nature after all.

Meanwhile in the real world, a good time for a dabble in the stock market for those with the wherewithal.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!

trying to source anti-bac for the business is painful to say the least but with the whole of the country trying to buy it's understandable.

Every supplier seems to be having delivery at the end of the month. Be interesting to fast forward that far and see whether it will be even needed.

In 2 weeks they are expecting the peak and I am expecting a huge hit of trade just in time for half term No

I don't think its over dramatic to be worried about how long this will go on for seeing as it has barely started.

The WHO have now declared a pandemic.

I had no idea Pete Townshend knew so much about this stuff.

His specialist 'research' lies elsewhere.

I've been talking with BT and Virgin account managers today. All those expecting to work from home might not be doing much. The residential broadband infrastructure is already struggling peak work hours. If you get logged in. leave it logged in would be my advice.

  It is what will get us. Not a nuke. The tundra and the poles are thawing and there are bacteria alive that we have no resistance to. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't a bat's head, but something that thawed out that started this off.
