the unimaginable quickly becomes the norm. I'm often struck by the experience of September 1939 - how a governement decree closing theatres seems hugely disconcerting to me, but in the context of a world war quickly became the new normal.

I see football's been cancelled then.

Surely five minutes for a w*nk is fairly standard? I mean, you hardly need to bother with foreplay.

In summary, I'm not sure this is the zinger you intended.

Weekend pub drinking, interesting.

My greatest concern is running out of wine. I don't want to have to start drinking the good stuff due to shortages and isolation and whatnot.

'kin right. If you self isolate who brings you food and wine etc? I suppose you keep it quiet and keep the home deliveries coming.

Christ that's a point - only thing in my apartment at the moment, alcohol-wise is a bottle of tequila. On the plus side, it will probably kill all known germs

I did an inventory last night. I've got two bottles of cooking whisky and a full decanter of the good stuff. I've about a bottle or so of gin, one of brandy, one of Vodka and open bottles of port, Cointreau, Cinzano, Martini Rosso, tequila, sherry, Cachaca and various other random shít like Schipper Bitter, Maraschino liqueur and - God help us all - Unicum.

:hehe: I've got a couple of bottles of gin and two very good bottles of wine in my office. Should do all right. Also some Jägermeister :yikes: and some green stuff which I am not entirely sure about
