QuestionTime With PPB, Instead of Sir Robin Day .

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Those of you who enjoy Chinese takeaways and eating in their restuarants, has it put you off using them again in the future? ( being as it all started with the Chinese eating bats and shit, also seeing the live meat market photos that are going around) It's not put me off at all. It's not as if my takeaway is coming straight from Wuhan.

How many toilet rolls are currently in your household? Loads, my wife bought 2 x 24 packs before the rationing started. There are 4 of us though (including 2 kids who seem to demolish it) plus neither my Dad nor his girlfriend are leaving their respective houses so we are having to be their official toilet roll supplier.

can't remember the last time I had a takeaway or ate out to be honest. It's a rare thing for us to do. Won't put me off in future though.
How many toilet rolls are currently in your household?
17. However that is mainly because someone in this house bought a pack having also acquired one of these:

[Paddingtonwolf]

I'm missing social interaction in a variety of forms. On here I am a bit of a loon, and in public as anyone who sees me on matchday will probably testify I am pretty extrovert, but left to myself I become very introverted and lacking in confidence. I don't like that feeling 24 hours a day and feel like I need a release from it.

Being able to pop to the shops for little bits and taking my dog for decent walks.

Yes. Going to the shops about every 10 days and have ordered once from Homebase and once from Amazon
Do you find yourself drinking less alcohol or more during these times?
Haven't touched alcohol since the last home match and I'm unlikely to until the next one.
Are you using your 1 daily outside excercise?
I'm taking Oscar for 2 x 30 minute walks.
Being in the house all day do you tend to pick at food more than you would otherwise?
I drink more cordial, but I'm not grazing.
Has your sleeping pattern changed during these shit times?
Oooooh yes. I still get up at 5am and take Oscar out, but now I go back to sleep until 7am AND have an afternoon snooze every other day. Still go to bed at the same time.

Not at all.
How many toilet rolls are currently in your household?

30-odd. There were many more (I buy in bulk from Costco) but my Mom gave them away to her elderly mates that can't get out. Don't worry though, I've got a list of recipients and I'm going to do some serious granny bashing when I can go out again.

Sorry but this is an awful viewpoint to have. We have Chinese takeaways a lot and we will continue to use our local one as long as it remains open because they REALLY need the custom right now. I think it's really depressing that people are actually thinking twice about ordering from them just because of this.

How many toilet rolls are currently in your household?

The same as usual - enough. Saw a massive family pack of them in the shop around the corner a few days ago but didn't buy them because a) we really don't need that many and b) they may be a family who do really need it - certainly more than we do. The bizarre fashion of panic buying stuff like this is the reason why the general public are a bunch of aresehats and I don't like them. Just no need.

You are right, it is an awful viewpoint to have and I'm sorry for mine.But when someone you know has died from this, whether it be family, friend, neighbour, or distant friend, you can understand there is anger as well as grief. Not just them dying and being taken from you, but you can't even be there at the end, or to pay your respects. Anger brings out the worst in some people and unfortunately I'm one of those people. A Chinese is the last thing I'd want to eat right now.

I respect your viewpoint on this Langers , and all the others that have posted.

More questions please, PPB - I really enjoy this thread!

8-ish which is later than usual but my current commute is about 15 feet away so again, pretty much the standard starting time.
