You are right @maurici good sir. Me and 1.5m of my new UK friends are in the "extremely vulnerable" group, in my case due to having severe asthma and taking some fairly heavyweight drugs that suppress my immune system to prevent my arthritis from galloping away. If it was one or the other I'd probably not be in that group, but put them together and points make prizes! I've won AT LEAST 12 weeks stay locked in the exclusive Hotel Colonial, away from everyone else except Lady Colonial. Sadly, that includes keeping at least 3m from her at all times, doing EVERYTHING separately, sleeping in the guest bedroom and not being able to go further than the garden. Only (at least) 11 more weeks of the fun to go. SWMBO will keep me busy soon with gardening (plants being delivered to the house) and I've got work to do on The Wench so that's something to keep me busy. Two friends in different parts of the world died last week (not of the virus) and I won't be able to attend their funerals, which is a bit of a blow. Feeling somewhat mortal so I went through all my paperwork, ensuring my will and funeral details were in place so I didn't leave her in the lurch after I'm gone (hopefully no time soon, I've got a lot more fun to have yet). Not a happy task I know but I feel better knowing it's done. I'm okay now actually. The next sort of personal milestone is next Saturday, which will have been a fortnight since I last had any outside human contact. If I make it to there with no symptoms, I'll be very pleased as that's the outside limit on incubation period of the virus. I'm finding ways to get things sent in that reduces the level of burden I'm putting on others, and trying to do things that make me happy. I know that keeping myself well and isolated is potentially reducing the weight and risk to the NHS and their wonderful workers. The time will pass. Also had a load of booze delivered so that's a good thing! 😄 Thanks for asking m8 I really do appreciate it. I'll be fine. Please be safe out there everyone.2 points

As a confirmed misanthrope, this is pretty much normal for me. Been retired nearly 4 years now so quite accustomed to filling my day with my own pointless ****, rather than someone else’s.2 points

short story As we are at a loose end for 10 minits Up here in Barnsley we are always looking at making a quick buck or two so two good mates one called Breakable and Barnsley john decided to get their heads together Breakable also known as des on the wscc forum has a 2.0 l duratec westy and lives 4 miles from Barnsley john John also known as cant spell john as a 2.0 l honda westy There as been some keen banter over the past years with who has and got the best car between us when we were arguing one day we said lets be constructive and came up with a plan to make us rich the scheme is to breed our two cars and sell the little car pups to make some easy cash So first we would need some help from friends on the forum firstly from martin and sue has he is the mot vet and pup inspector down in Staffordshire area Also witnesses’ with Julie and glen as glen wanted the first pic of the pups as long it was a honda and also to recap glens mind on things how its done So the big day came up here in Barnsley We went to deses because he his posh and there’s oil all over drive from his car. so we all gathered round the two cars comforting the little honda The Duratek in blue was like a pit bull terrier with its chavy chain at front end and more electronic aids inside needing the national grid to power it Snarling and water dripping from mouth and radiator its stance with its wide tyres ready to pounce on my whimpering Honda Which is Built like a greyhound and slender compared to the chavy bully Duratek Gen was looking on in exactment as the duruatecs s exhaust grew to a magnificent shinny pipe The deed was done and the Duratek blew its head gasket and oil was all over after 20 seconds About the time of its owner s performance so debs says to me on our nights out My Honda was stoked as it had been abused from the blue beast Martin said let me know when the pup cars are born and I will give them a full health check 1 month later 7 little car pups were born Martyn was summoned to deses for the pup cars to be looked at He said bad news you guys there all Z tecs with problems and low HP My view is that it’s the duratec that’s faulty cams but the honda looks nice and healthy I would Get shut of them quick if I was you two idiots We were gutted as we knew Hondas would sell for loads of money duratecs a lot less And Z tecs very little So that night I decided to advertise them on piston car pups I used deses dyno readings saying 210 hp and we all know that is a lie I then copied them to each car to get shut and attract a buyer They were snapped up in two days . the guy that came said all take the lot I said were you from sir His reply was Ashby dela pooch and he took them all The moral of the story his don’t breed your car with inferior ford cars, and you wont end up like us having to get rid quick and for next to nowt No cars were hurt in this story and glen has a permanent smile Martyn overcharged us for the cars mot s and will sort him out soon as we can go out stay safe and we will all be out soon I am sure if we follow the guidelines thanks for reading BJ1 point

Just a thought, for the wider population that might be wondering where all this has come from, should we mention that Des and Debs are actually dog breeders. I think everyone knows that John is just maaaad😁1 point

Having SORNed four of my cars last Monday, the refund cheques arrived in the post today. Much quicker than I thought would be the case. Must remember not to spend all the money on sweets! Better to make sure that some is left to allow me to get the cars back on the road when a semblance of order returns. Simon1 point

You are very welcome. I´m sure you will enjoy the time in the garden! XD. And booze delivered is allways a great thing. By the way, if someone fancy facetime/skype/videowhatsap during some evenings, I offer my services to have a laught with my vulgar language and my sexy accent. (and that is about all the sexy I will go... don´t be dirty). Actually, It could be a good thing to do as a group... Run a videochat, crack a can or pop a bottle of your favourite booze, and lets talk about the weather and lie about our cars and skills. If someone is up to it, and feels that will help to make more bareable the evening when is already dark outside, keep in touch by PM. May the force be with all of you!! (wow, my keyboard looks anything by sanithised... don´t worry chaps, It´s been recovered from the workshop, it was sharing box with a set of valves and the brake bleed kit... is sticky and dirty but not been in the outside world for a while...)1 point

If we can't get to be on same team it doesn't matter. Just pick a track... Any car will do, post your times... Its all about fun at the end of the day. Best race game I've played in years. I set the view as if your sat in the car. Put the assists to low on steering and brakes. Traction control optional! I've been playing this for years... Level 130... F1 cars are very quick. Steering by using the device to tilt left and right helps with the realism effect.1 point

Sadly, due to bathroom quarantining, Mrs Captain is already having to send him out to the garden to do his business! More worrying is I've heard talk of the Captain having to be fitted with one of those lampshade collars!1 point
