Cruise ship anyone? I noticed the government has said try to get food delivered. Are they serious? Most of the supermarkets are not taking on new customers and even their loyal ones are having to wait a month.

I expect that the TV companies will run them free of charge otherwise it would mess up their scheduling with programmes only lasting 45 minutes instead of their traditional hour slot. Some of the ads will seem rather facile though in the light of current events If I was a food brand I wouldn’t advertise for a while but I suppose they’ve already paid and had their Tv ad slots booked. I did wonder this when I saw Cushelle advertising their toilet paper because although they’re always the last toilet rolls to be sold and probably need to raise brand awareness, they do obviously always sell.

Imagine the chaos at Maccy Ds when they reopen. Actually that's a lie, me and Mrs Stuck had one in New York last year, just to see if the American ones were better...nope, same sh*t.

I can at least double that. It’s absolute shyte and makes you feel like shyte after. Watching supersize me and those fries never going off told me. I’d have to be drunk with no food available anywhere and that’s not true because if there’s a MacDonalds there’s other things or stuff at home.

Or winning the ZDS Cup.

It's all dependants on your wages / salary over the last three years so tough luck to those that take the bulk of their income as dividends (like me) and as the wage level is taken over previous years you can't suddenly give yourself a pay rise This pandemic could be a fraudster's charter so the Government needs to bring in safeguards
