I have just re-joined and I was only 6078. Perhaps I have some hidden Ocado status, that bumps me up the queue. Wow, I must appreciate the little bonuses that life throws me at the moment

I recommend the quarantini. It’s like a martini, but you have it alone...

So here we are with the good news for the week:

BA is giving marvelous discounted First Class fares to every destination......but all countries have closed their borders so there is no where to fly to.

Petrol prices are plummeting.......but the government just told us to lock the car in the garage, go inside and no unnecessary travel.

The US government is sending $1000 to each adult......but the stores are empty so there is nothing to buy.

I am a teetotaler, this "good news" is driving me to drink!........but the government just ordered the bars and liquor stores all closed.....

Sigh, I don't think i can stand any more "good news", how about you ?

I felt old, I shared this with some younger colleagues and was greeted with ??? in return. They had never heard of Saturday Night Fever. Sigh...
