But it depends if it gets some extra initial propulsion through an unguarded cough or sneeze rather than just passive breathing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, Gregg Wallace, Diane Abbott and Esther Rantzen have to "Remain" in. I've also took the sensible precaution of adding John Inverdale. I think you have a mistaken 'impression' about Steve Coogan and me. He might choose to imitate me because, as a Lancastrian his impressions are more than likely based on wanting to be somebody else. Apart from when he was Paul Calf but, even then, he pretended to be Pauline Calf. Under Scrutiny by the Right-On Thought Police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckn Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 The homeless are one of our highest priorities given the state of the system in protecting them in normal times. That means things like this just wind me up endlessly when we're asking these people to put themselves in literal harm's way as volunteers. FFS...

Hence is specified her earlier playschool phase Talking about Sandhurst - i was at the local TA barracks last night and there were a large number of completely unmarked white transits, transit connects, vauxhall combis, minibuses and 4 17T trucks. I asked and was told they are the local strategic transport reserve (for getting essential workers to work and supplies to where they are needed) - i joked luckily no big refrigerated units and was told in all seriousness "they are parked elsewhere so it does not spook people" I was actually glad these things do appear to have been planned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can all work from here and access a computer. That's true of pretty much all Tiny Ginger's classmates. I doubt it's true for even 20% of the state school pupils in what is a very deprived town.
