I'll have to get the coal out of mine first before I try that.....

I vaguely remember stuff from my youth about people sucking pieces of coal. WTF was all that about

With regards to the situation here in Ireland.The country has been put on lockdown, for two weeks from midnight tonight.Community transmitions here are now at 51%.It's now out of control in the USA, while there is still people dying by the hundreds in Italy.I don't know how this will pan out, will my friends and family still be alive at the end of this.But i do know this is a grave situation, and i fear it's going to get a hell of a lot worse, before it gets better.

Worrying times indeed for us all.I think today was the day, where it finally hit home to me that this country, is in serious trouble.But i think the whole world is in trouble really.These are scary times, but i wish everyone here all the best, and hopefully the vast majority of us, will come through this period still alive, and with our family and friends still alive and well.Im pretty scared tbh, but we're all in the same boat here.

Stay safe Corky.

How did you get to that conclusion?

Pregnant women supposedly sucked coal as a craving ??
Working class people supposedly stored coal in their bath tubs...

Oh whoops, I thought you posted his tweet, but I should of known it was @summerisle

I think my friend, the one I'm asking for, has been a bit naive here

They call it vanilla, not naive mate !






So I'm told ...

That may be more dangerous imo......

Only joking mate. Private joke between me and the missus. An uncle she used to care for used to wash all his fruit in soapy water

When she cared for him she had to promise that she'd done the same. Obviously she never actually did it. Can't think of how disgusting it must have tasted

The first guy to get the new Dyson ventilator is picking up well.

Sucker for punishment.

Spain looks like it might be past the inflexion point; the rate of ascent is slowing. Hope so.

Even total no heads can be right once in a while.

And I wasn't defending him as such. I was merely asking the original poster to put politics aside.

It was supposed to get rid of indigestion I think ? Remember the bump,on the head when you were a small kid a big lump would appear you would run in crying and your mum would rub Lard on it and say now that will help you would stop crying a go back out to play

Well I hope you don't have need of their services only to be told you can't be helped because they're too busy investigating serial walkers

And I hope your neighbours report your movements 24/7 so you can put some perspective on it

I don't see the problem with going for more than a few walks a day as long as you stay close to home and avoid all contact with people (something that's easily done) I'm now waiting for someone to grass me up and I a get knock on the door from the Police because we take our dogs for a walk twice a day. lol
