Those invisible obstacles are pain in the arse shoulder.

@neph93 you got out just in time…

[neph93]

Shite… any idea what is going off?

[Giles]

Nope, apparently there were people being resuscitated in the street.  I just drove down the road.  5 fire engines, 10 ambulances, 5 emergency response vehicles, stacks of police and loads of unmarked cars….

[neph93]

Bloody hell… could it be the pipeline?

[Giles]

No….

Pub in Gosport, Hants, gave punters chance to swap household items for booze

Stylish as ever. The shot of the bartender and punter both handling the pack of bog roll makes me think that not everyone has understood the concept of the surface transmission, never mind social distancing.

Guess they didn't want this then….

Nice…..

Are you sure @Seul isn't stopping by for the weekend?

Popped down to one of the sea front pubs last night.

There was a notice saying:

Do not come to this pub if any of the following apply.

The first bullet was:

If you are self isolating….

Yesterday:

"Today has been the hottest day of the year and and Gosport has been the hottest place in the UK.

The Met Office has said that the temperature at Fleetlands in Gosport reached 32.4C (90.3F) today, which is hotter than most of Europe."

Gosport "craftsmen"

About 2 years ago, we had new gates made and installed.  I am fixing up some gate automation at the moment.  And noticed that one of the 6 strap hinges had been installed like this…..

The other 5 were correctly done - how on earth does anyone think that that's a good job…..(luckily it's the middle hinge of three, so the least important to have been done correctly)....

If its any consolation, I worked on a dispute where in a luxury apartment block contractor forgot to connect the waste pipes up in the top five floors.

You can imagine what happened to the walls of the poor bastards in the flats below when people started doing massive dumps and flushing toilets…..
