kevin b Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 With regards to the thread title. Was that "insanity", or "insanitary" ? I shall probably expect a reply from the North East. However the question remains as we don't seem to have gotten to the bottom of it yet. Personally I shall sit on the fence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i12fly Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Someone suggested that glow fuel may act as a disinfectant?..... But don't drink it..... 44 are dead in Iran as a false rumour said that drinking alcohol would cure the virus. As alcohol is forbidden, some bootleggers swapped ethanol for methanol....

Basil Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Thing is, you cant do without some sort of toilet paper, even if the print does come off. News print may also be in short supply if they stop printing them. Sand paper is not an alternative !!!!!!!!!! By the way thanks for a most entertaining morning's reading, I needed cheering up. Who said humour was dead . Edited By Basil on 13/03/2020 09:06:42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Manuel Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I went out to our local Weatherspoon's last night along with a few mates, as is our 40-odd year old tradition on a Thursday night. We expected the place to be deserted in view of yesterday's Corona virus threat upgrade. How wrong we were. The place was absolutely packed! Looks like people were panic buying - stocking up on beer / alcohol while they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
