:covid_19: 😷 šŸ„ Corona Virus the thread for all your fears ā“

So I’m going to assume that after my last computer-y response to this thread, and lack of responses thereafter, that it has slowly dawned on @CB-Saint, @Bucks and @Numptyboi that they might have been badly advised on computers.

No hard feelings this end. In fact, if you ever want to bullshit-test a future computing quote you get, run it past me and I’ll let you know if you’re about to have your pants pulled down or not.

The great frame up of the British public begins.

Curse those Londoner bastards for not driving around in the cars they don’t own.

Not at all - just can’t be arsed to argue with you

However if you want to claim victory, fill your boots, I’m off to run a small business.

Here’s your medal :1st_place_medal:

Yep, see the tweet that brought this to my attention.

Fair enough. Run along and get all that important backup server and colocation you need, and do try to remember while there is very little indeed that I am an expert on, computers do fit into that very little indeed.

Consequence of twenty years professional experience and thirty odd years of dicking about with them in general.

The next time you’re bamboozled by a shark circling your small business, feel free to give an expert a call.

You really are a sanctimonious cunt sometimes

Sometimes?

I must be slipping.

If I’m only whipping it out when people slink off after talking bollocks in my professional field, I really must be slipping.

:smiley:

Fergus Walsh at the top of his game…or this is so far from logical that nobody could have answered it without say ā€œI don’t fucking know. It makes no sense!ā€.

…you could think about having a window open

LOL.

It should be noted that this is the three months to March - just one week into the formal lockdown.

Car sales are down as well. Plus, I hear the airlines are reporting a slight drop in passenger numbers.

I wonder what’s going on? :thinking:

The bit that I thought worthy of comment was this…

I know. But I’d have thought it’s going to be more like half for the next quarter, with massive chunks of the economy simply shut down.

Very good!

Not at all. You’ll have to excuse my lack of correct terminology here as i’m no expert, but we invested heavily on providing an off site server based system for the company which works well. All staff who are not furloughed have been working happily at home (when they can) or on site. It costs a fortune, but is a commitment we made. But it doesn’t mean we can do everything from home. Strangely enough you cannot dig a fucking hole and fill it with concrete from your bedroom.

Oh, and on "You carry on with your ā€œessential worksā€, whatever the fuck they are." - does working to provide NHS facilities including helping transform part of a GP Surgery to enable a mobile covid testing centre to be established, suit your criteria?

I hope I’m as fit as that at 53.

There’s no way he’s 100.

He’s a blagger. Tells everyone he’s 100, gets pints bought for him, gets shopping collected for him.

He’s been telling the lie for so long he’s even got loads of anecdotes.

Ask my mother she was there at the time.

Four kids all pensioners.

Bollocks I say. He’s 62 and only just saw the Falklands War.

When all this is over, this will be the focus of the public enquiry.

This is the thread he’s reading.

It’s fucking criminal.

And I’ve just watched this on Sky News.

Again, criminal. Heartbreaking stories…
