Looks like they blocked in an alleyway to build that.

When I was houseshopping I looked at a terrace that was noticeably narrower than its neighbours. Comically the listing described it as an ideal place for a new family. You would only just have been able to fit a double bed into the main bedroom, and there literally wasn't the space to swing a cat in the building.

A random cat just broke into our house (well, walked in through an open door) and stole some cat food, so now I'm fully expecting our animal overlords to rule the streets once households start running out of petfood.

A local hedgehog stumbles into my kitchen in the evenings and steals my dogs food. She gets so annoyed and stamps her paws at it. It's hilarious.

I have it. At first I thought it was just a hangover but I started feeling really cold in my bones whilst my head was getting warm. I've been up all night dry coughing and feel dead achey and just generally hosed. I live in a quite rural area in West Yorkshire and only popped to Manchester last Wednesday (where I'm guessing I picked it up as otherwise I work from home)

Also my girlfriend broke up with me and we live together so that makes all this extra fun (hope she doesn't get it and can still move out asap)

Just going to play Cities Skylines all day and try not to give it to anyone further

Ah that's shite all around, sorry for your troubles friend :(

Another option is to pick up a PS3. Dirt cheap, an excellent media centre that will outperform the dongles with ease, and can play DVD/Blu-Ray discs.

Actually the PS3 is a much better media centre than the PS4 tbh.

I did this, when my smart-tv broke - got a cheap TV and used the PS3 and PS4 I already had. I found newer Blu-Rays won't play on the 3, and while I was using it my electric bill went up £30 a quarter - I've now gone to a Fire-TV stick and prefer that, although it won't do NowTV.

yeah. it’s been a mix of people buying from online pharmacies / private care in the UK (after the patent expired anyway and price dropped) / relying on charity / a very limited number of trial places that was effectively impossible to sign up for because so oversubscribed

with no announcement yet of a concrete date for NHS rollout, or what criteria will be used to decide who’s at high enough risk I remain cautious rather than optimistic
not expecting buyer’s regret over the 6 months worth I bought last week

What with the universities strike and coronavirus I've been hiding at home for the past two weeks. This has been great since I only moved in at the end of Feb, so I've been mostly unpacking, doing some DIY and now that i have a garden for the first time in my life I've been enjoying all the birds that frequent it. I've been taking photos of them and there are a load of varieties that have been visiting. Figure the thread might want some apocalypse respite so here's a few photos from the past week or two:

Have you got a nice clean bird bath in your garden yet? We found that this is even more important for attracting hordes of birds than the birdseed. They will get snooty about it if you don't give it a quick scrub to remove algae every now and again though.

Thanks! We don't have a bird bath, that's a good idea. We're near a piece of green belt with a stream so I figured they had access to all the water they might need but anything that attracts more of them and keeps them happy I'll be keen to add.

Just went for a run, old people out and about everywhere. I actually yelled at a group of women in their late 60s/early 70s who all stopped to use the public water fountain.

50 years of headlines about the "Blitz Spirit" of a war they never fought in is going to wipe out a generation.

Poor guy apparently doesn't realise how much of a stooge he is. Please, everyone, take a minute to consider the feelings of lobby journalists in these trying times.

Twitter is very useful for revealing just how much contempt journalists hold for the general public, now that they've got a means of questioning them directly.
