Which reminds me. There used to be a Dr. Who exhibition in Llangollen. Really.
One exhibit was an empty Dalek which you could sit in and manipulate the ‘arms’ and periscope eye and could speak into a voice changer thing which meant anything said came out, well, Dalek-ie.
Son #2, aged then about 4, got in, wriggled stuff about and shouted … “I am a Garlic … Excuse me mate !”.
I have spent a bit of time today conversing with a young woman of our acquaintance who feels beleaguered by the guidelines for staying at home. She lives alone (well, she has a House Cat) and has, recently, been diagnosed as bi-polar. Just one example of many who are suffering with the whole Viral DOOM scenario. (This isn’t meant to be a totally cheerful thread, izzit?)

This might be of interest - a breathing technique suggested to be not only useful to those who have it but harmless and likely beneficial to those who don’t.
Thanks, Gus.
His lung capacity seems fairly slight… (grin)
I couldn’t comment. Got dizzy [bigger grin]
To be fair, his ‘nursing colleague’ looks like one of the breed that eats junior doctors for breakfast with a chaser of broken bottles, so that might have put him off his stroke.
I had an Aunt like that. Terrifying woman. I fell into her hands after having my gall-bladder out, and she had me walking half a mile within a week of coming out of hospital…
Incidentally, I was driving home after a nice person-free evening walk and heard HM talking, and I am sure that Neil Nunes reading the news afterwards said that there had been a hundred fewer deaths yesterday than there were the day before, or possibly today than yesterday. Can’t find it anywhere, though. Did anyone else hear it?
No. But daily variation is pretty meaningless. As no doubt was the Address To The Nation.
Not to everyone, Gus.

We will have to agree to differ on that, Soo.

…interesting technique, but I can only hope that his skill as a doctor is better than his shaving skills! (…heads for TheNORTYStep) 
Sniggle, Gus. Her Maj addressed the whole nation (and several others, apparently) so there will be varying opinions, clearly. I am sitting on the beely fence.

Budge up wee bee 
I am on the fence with you
I admire Mrs Windsor
Well, any address from the Royals could rankle, but I cut Queenie some slack. She can only do that which she can do.

That much is true. There were certain things she could not have done recently which she has, though, which have somewhat undermined her standing, I feel.
I am rather sorry for her nonetheless.
Gxx
True.

…just finished listening to Brenda giving her talk (…found (…quite by accident) on RadioUlster), in which she mentioned “…essential Rolls”
I would have thought the only Rolls she would be concerned about would be the one from which she waves when she pops down to the shops! 
I doubt that very much; she can spell, after all.
Oh, that is ace.
