Have you thought about not going on Universal Credit, and getting a job instead?
Is there a job where I can just swear on the Internet and maybe sometimes eat peanuts?

Do you have a webcam and are you prepared to have many many controversial and politically incorrect opinions for money?

I could send you the link to my "Teaching The French English" company if you like. I mean I'm not supposed to swear as much as I do but I've just convinced them that the word Fuck means "Good Job".

Also, re: your post on the last page - I've been frustrated with people suggesting this in the past but when it comes to exercise for me at least it's making a huge difference to my sanity, I try and go for long walks twice a week (often to quiet-ish places, cemeteries seem quite good on that front right now) and it's helped enormously.

I absolutely would if I could deal with the hatred, and if I had not much of a conscience. It's quite the grift.

SMBH, thank you, please do send it over. Might not be able to respond this evening but I'll see it! I can also speak French if that's any use.

I've just sent you the link now. And I don't speak French at all but that's never been a problem, sometimes they do speak it but I just remind them that it's a fully immersive course and so I couldn't respond to them in French even if wanted too.

SMBH, would you mind sending me the link to that too please?

Reading this has changed my life.

At some point, I'm going to return to England.

How does this quarantine for arrivals work? Is it the same basic lockdown package- one hour exercise etc- or something stricter?

You'll be able to leave the airport no questions asked, free to spend your afternoon in one of many spitting shops which have been set up.

There are currently no restrictions for incoming arrivals in the United Kingdom.

It is May 12th 2020.

Detached house, baby! (If only...)

Basically I'm sick of hearing the party upstairs and whatever downstairs is watching on telly. Ideally I'll move into a house with deaf OAPs on either side of it and then I'll become the loud one.
I lived next door to a deaf lady. She had the telly on so loud you could hear Huw Edwards' nose hairs rustling as he read the news.


Mister Six

I've been bloody lucky with all this, being able to work from home since the start of March and for a company that looks pretty stable right now (the upper management have taken a 25% paycut and the employees in my tier have been asked to take three weeks' unpaid leave, but that's been about it, and it looks like we'll be solid at least until the next financial year).

I'm still feeling basically fine, although it's hard to tell whether my occasional bouts of dizziness and a tight chest are coronavirus, subconscious anxiety, or just not doing any exercise for two months.

However, I don't really see a time when I'll be able to relax and go back to tromping around New York as normal, at least not until a vaccine arrives. NYC has flattened the curve on cases and deaths, but most of the rest of the country is now speeding up due to fuckwits and psychopaths both in government and out, and so the fear that it could all kick off again is still there. And even if it doesn't, the risk of contracting Covid-19 is still going to be out there, isn't it, until I can be inoculated against it?

Mrs Six still has autumn as a possible "let's get the fuck out of the house" date in her head... I don't want to dissuade her of that hope right now, but I just can't see it myself.
