I think people are enduring enough at the moment without subjecting them to my singing, I can't carry a tune in my pocket

I did karaoke once and I thought the audience were Slade fans as they kept asking me to sing far, far away..

You can make yourself available as and when. Its run via an app and when you are available, you mark yourself as 'on duty'. If you can only do one day a week or even an hour thats fine.

Thats good, thanks Dushanbe, will get applying.

Can you volunteer on a one day a week (plus weekends)
basis?

I'm currently working from home 4 days a week but would be happy to help out on my day off which is a Friday usually but sometimes Monday.

So many ways to get it right and I avoided all of them...

Actually i meant to type 1 x 2.5 = 2.5, edited it now

I blame the tiny keyboard on this work laptop

Vintage Claret

It's right. 2.5 + (2.5 squared) + (2.5 cubed) + (2.5 ^4) + (2.5^5) = 405 1.25 + (1.25 squared) + (1.25 cubed) + (1.25^4) + (1.25^5) = 14 Or a more longwinded calculation that comes to the same conclusion:- 1 x 2.5 = 2.5 more infected (day 5) 2.5 x 2.5 = 6.25 " (day 10) 6.25 x 2.5 = 15.63 " (day 15)...

Science will prevail.

Sooner or later, there will be a solution to this.

Mankind (or personkind to be PC) have survived worse with a lot less knowledge and resources than we have now around the globe.

Circa 400,000 people a year die of Malaria. Do we play tunes on the radio for them?

No we don't.

Has Malaria spread all over the globe in the past 3 months and been classified as a pandemic?

I'm thinking of trying tesco Burnley after work for some beer (around half 5) have I much chance?

Probably not-your best bet is the smaller outlets, Spar, Co-op, or independent 'corner' shops or petrol stations that do groceries etc

Yes because they're probably the ones bulk buying :lol: Seen plenty of people looking suspicious in asda with trolleys stacked high with the most weird and whacky items in, you wouldn't think theyd usually buy...

I knew Carl Wayne had sadly died but didn't realize it was so long ago (2004).

Guess it must have been about 2003 when we saw them then, blimey, 17 years ago, I thought it was about 10

Saw them live at Preston Guildhall a few years ago -they were really good.

As well as all their well known songs they threw in a couple of 'The Move' classics (as the lead singer at the time was an ex band member) and a brilliant cover of 'Tiger Feet' as the bass guitarist was formerly in 'Mud'

Think we were a bit fortunate with the 1st VAR decision, none of our players seemed to protest the goal at the time which is usually a giveaway.

i think some of the opposition managers overthink it when they are at home to Burnley-surely all they need to do to win is make sure the grass is cut really short and is well watered

You are missing the point. People should be able to eat what they want. It's like every other trendy crap. Don't push your fad on others. Who do these people think they are?

Exactly.

How would vegetarians/vegans like it if their employers introduced a 'meat only' expenses policy?

The Mrs seems to think that REM’s sidewinder sleeps tonight is not “call me when you try to wake her up” and is in fact “coming to Jamaica”.......

Very annoying it is too...

I always thought that line was "calling Cheryl Baker"
