With regards to the bat soup flu 'holocaust' doing its best to destroy everything in life we take for granted. Just a week today, things were still relatively normal, me and the 'trouble and strife' was in Bath watching Blossons at the Forum. Day by day thereafter it's been increasing its vice like hold on us. So much so and being high risk my family having insisted that I self isolate.
They are right, the penny dropped when I went out to buy some toilet roll, got confused by all the empty shelves and thought I was in the Rovers trophy room! There it is let's lighten the mood, after all there has been a few hopeful sound bites over the last few days and we maybe back to some sort of normality by the summer.
So football restart in the autumn and the Dub Pistols gig has been rearranged for early August - Happy days let's try and make sure we get there - gashead's positive quotes/jokes please - I start you off with one positive from this virus and that is the canals in Venice are now so clean fish and dolphins are now visible.
I finish with the news that Corona Beer due to bad press has been rebranded and has a much safer name - it's now called Ebola Extra
