If you do decide to go down that route give me a ring or will catch up when I’m down at my mums for a chat as I can pull a few strings. Not my domain really but I can help you out nonetheless pal 

Will do.

Need to balance up fuel savings, tax etc. Not sure, but i think I heard maintenance costs can be a bit lower too. See how it looks, especially when offset as business cost.

Aye, saw that. Maybe up to 8k (or possibly 5). Bloke at the garage that does my mot/servicing said he might be interested in my van if I was to sell it because of its very low mileage. 

Definitely interested though.

Dont think Ive used bluetooth since sharing porn on building sites in the 00s

Mate once received a random video in the cinema

Some bird being bummed, pans down, turns out she's got a cock

Mate said you could spot people round the cinema receiving, watching then turning round and looking round all embarrassed to see who it was

Two lads sat at the back sniggering

I would sooner take my chances. i have worked throughout whilst those on furlough / WFH have been able to flout the rules. People are not staying in the are going about their business. the front by me was the busiest i have seen it in the 6 years i have been in the city. 

It scares me catching it, especially given how it went through Sweep like garp does, but it also scares me losing everything and being left with nothing. 

I was advised to shield last time however even with an infection rate is as big as it is and the fact we are all going to die why have i not been asked to do so this time ? Given my asthma and being a lard arse i am pretty much destined for the grave if i catch it. 

Lockdown has been very hard on us all and i just don't think we can carry on.

You arent destined for the grave mate - you might have already had it and not even know - you might not catch it at all - there's about 20 weeks to get through, not everyone is going to get it. 

If you do catch it, less than 0.5% of infected folk are dying according to the ONS - less than 1 in 200, and most of them are old. 

over 33% have asymptomatic or very mild case, simuilar to a mild head cold, some just lose sense of smell and taste for a few days, some have no symptoms whatsoever.

over 50% have it worse and are ill at home, like having flu of varying degrees.

Of those who end up in hospital, even in the ICU, nearly all folk get sent home.

It is thought that your chances of getting a mild case is affected to some extent by how low a dose you get initially - it is thought you can increase your chances of getting a low dose by wearing a mask, distancing, good ventilation and hygeine, reducing contacts.

You'll be reet mate

I'd love to be a doctor going round the wards, saying ' You'll be reet, mate.'

BIG E's not on a ward. I was trying to give him some perspective, and a bit of a boost.

Ah, I understood that & you were very empathetic. Apologies if my comment appeared to trivialise what you were saying pal.

No worries mate , would be good fun going round hospital wards, saying to everyone, "the diagnosis is......., you'll be reet". Like a fast show sketch.
