I normally only drink in the pub and I drink bitter so hard to buy a good on in a can/bottle, not that I'd drink it anyway. Like you going to the pub is as miuch about meeting people and chatting as it is about the beer. But I have got a bottle of sherry, a nice glass every eveining is ebough for men. IQuote:

I'm not one for pubs and the like but I do miss family get togethers and regular long walks. Luckily we have a decent sized garden and at this time of year there's plenty to do. Don't think I've sawn up so many branches in my life before but it's great exercise nonetheless.
My football fix is a quick trip into YouTube to watch the mighty Bluebirds defeat everyone from Real Madrid to Huddersfield.
Stay safe and don't give up hope that this thing will be defeated before too much longer. Yes, there will be serious financial repercussions further down the line and maybe a possible global backlash against China but the most important thing is to take care of yourself and your nearest and dearest in the coming weeks/months.
Nothing at all
Mr Elwood has a fair idea .. he has met me ... I am a couple of years younger than him..:hehe:Quote:

Miss travelling to different places with work. Enjoy going out exploring wherever I am working trying different food and drinks.
Been going to Norway a lot recently which has been interesting. Was meant to be there again this week.
Miss getting time to myself.
Judging by your posts on here, i'm surprised your mum hasn't blocked the Letterbox up completely :hehe:Quote:

It's so painful not to be with her.
It would make the absolutely awful and incredibly stressful times, a little more bearable!!
There are people far worse off, the people with this terrible virus, the people who need important medical treatment that is being put off because of the virus, the people who are dying with the least amount of love and support from their loved ones because of the virus.
For those who are going on about how wonderful this is for them, please just have some consideration for just how bad this really is for many!!
Who is saying that it's wonderful for them?Quote:

You spend all your time reading stuff about it, I miss normal articles and discussion about sports possibly more than I miss the actual sports themselves if that makes any sense
Being awash with coronavirus "news" is a bit like being awash with Brexit "news" and that went on for years. Lets hope this doesn't.Quote:

Below is a harry Enfield sketch which sums up quite perfectly how a conversation can end up in my workplace.Quote:

Nothing specifically really, not even the football.
Just the fact that I cannot do what I want to when I want to and however long I want to.
That said what a spoilt fecker I must be.
I have all the amenities one could wish for and still ain't happy.
We should be thankful for what we have.
I’m really enjoying today, me & the missus out the back in the sun, bit of music on, leg of lamb in the oven. No chance of her saying ‘ Can we nip here or there later? Don’t get too comfy’, I am missing my Sunday run through of yesterday's football though, reading & re reading the reports of our battering of the Wurzels yesterday.
I'm normally on my own in the daytime., my wife is a teaching assistant.
What I miss now is having decent TV progs on, even if they're recorded.
Now I get shite she watches put on in the day.
