Wow.  That's like drinking rubbing alcohol.  It will poison you.  It didn't occur to me that this could be a problem.  Safeway's been giving them away for weeks, the little 2 oz. bottles.   I keep a bottle in the car to use when out running errands.  I guess alcohol is addictive to some folks and they'll resort to all kinds of ways to keep it in their system.

I drove around today stocking Little Free Libraries.  We have so many books and they have to go somewhere.  I'm trying to empty the house a bit.

Dog walked under my desk and fell. I thought something with wrong with him, but apparently he decided that's where he's sleeping tonight. (he is snoring)

He literally just fell over like a treefall, TIMBER!

Win.  Funny about your dog.  Sounds like quite a character.  I'm pet free at the moment and sort of sad about it.

Honestly, I don't much care for the upkeep, he's a stingy pisser on walks, but very generous when applying it to the living room.

That would be a problem for me, too.  I hear vinegar is good for removing the smell of ammonia.  My mother's cat once escaped his carrying case and pissed all over the back seat of my car.  I thought I was going to have to get a new car.  Then my mother in law told me about the miracle solution.  God bless her.  She's gone now, but that saved my old car.

I've been using dish soap and hot water, but I may have to go vinegar nuclear.

What the golly happened to the notion of "keep calm and carry on". Only my van has fuel now and it's not the best vehicle to do the shopping in.

Unless you're doing a shitload of shopping ...

This is now standard human behavior and nothing to do with any government of any nation. It is mainly to do with the media's overuse of the term "panic buying" which causes people to act irrationally. This irrationality creates the rational act of doing that same as the irrational as it is, by then, justified.

Yup. That's what depressed George Bailey in "It's a Wonderful Life"

It's confirmed: being a technologically advanced civilization does not stop urge to thump someone for their bog roll.

This is sort of socially acceptable, unless the "someone" is ones daughter.

No doubt the latter part of your comment does not apply to scummers.

ok in Leicester except for the really busy stations who cater mainly for small lorries (puddle smashers).

Petrol? I had assumed that "White Van Man" ran on diesel.

Gosport still doesn't has fuel. We has queues, though.

Van has half a tank but I'm taking it easy for a while. It's the car and the motorbike that I need the petrol for as I need to nip around doing everyday things.

That's what busses are for!

Main drags are totally bent due to G Network digging them all up for high speed fibre. It's quicker to walk a couple of miles than bus it.

Looking forward to the gigabit fibre, though.
