While we're all in football purdah over the next few months, the rather splendid gent behind twohundredpercent.net has created playlists of over 2000 matches on YouTube from 1950s to 1992. Can see that getting a lot of use in this house over the next few months

and there was I thinking Tenerife in August was looking dodgy.

hope your insurance pays out of the worst happens. I've not even checked ours yet..

The wife told me (no idea what her source is) that there is only one reported case in Turkey...

We just have to wait my understanding is we’d only get our money back if they cancel our holiday not if we cancel is...

We are supposed to be going to Turkey on the 19th of April.
Hmmm

We’re hopefully going out to Turkey around Easter but we haven’t booked our flights yet. Speaking to friends who live out there that say some flights from 9 countries are banned but Uk and Ireland are not. I suspect that will remain in place for a while as these 2 countries provide huge economical impact on the country. You may or may not know that you no longer need a Visa if you have a UK or Ireland passport. (found out today)

I’m waiting for news as to whether my work is doing wfh for the foreseeable future and then I’m going to book first available flights to Turkey and work from ‘home’ out there!

I've been helping a few guys on twitter who have had their holidays cancelled, it's certainly tough times. One thing it's highlighted is how many people wait until last minute to get their insurance

Is it a term used to label people that keep on spouting political bollocks in unrelated threads like a spoilt child that can't have their own way?

Wow, who knew.

A friend recently booked a trip to Dubai in April. I wish I had their nonchalance (and bank balance).

Went shopping and bumped into someone who i used to work with and his mrs. Nothing odd about that, but they had a full shopping trolley each. I asked ‘stocking up?’ Half jokingly, to get the response ‘well you can never be too sure, how long we might have to stay off if we have to’

I know its a bit different but was speaking to a US colleague on Friday and he was telling me how cheap domestic flights are right now. Return flight from Newark to Tampa, Florida is $55 ($30 of that is taxes)

Drove past Farmfoods this morning.
There was actually a queue of people waiting for it to open, things must be getting serious folks.

That's great news regarding the visa waiver (although it was simple enough), does that mean now that time spent in Turkey can be longer (without visa)? Asking for a friend, as I may 'work' out there remotely one day. I have a couple or three friends out there and they used to do the old "just nipping to Rhodes" trick but I believe that has been stamped down by the Turkish Gov.
