You can always build a wall to keep out the scum uncle. If you do go to your boutique supermarket make sure you wear mask and gloves and carry your hand gel. All items that I’m sure you use daily in The Manor”

.My little tip on hand lotion. Fill up a small bottle with Four Pillars Gin/Navy Strength (60 per cent alcohol) with a touch of lemon essence. This is cheaper and more effective than any other lotion. Spray on hands and any other body parts to maintain your hygiene standards. Particularly important to stop human transmission but also to prevent transmission from any surface including toys.  And very good as a mouth wash.

Shiraz is still in plentiful supply. Why the elixir of life is being ignored astounds me!

Agree.

I'm washing my arrse with stubbies of beer due to lack of toilet paper. Such are the ironies of life!

To arrest the purported vertical exponential leap in those afflicted neither gloves or masks are currently recommended by health 'experts'  Apparently the bug is carried by gloves and masks should be reserved for use by medical professionals.

Yes with panic buying and shortages of popular consumer items, thrifty alternatives are always welcome. Although the advice recently offered, (in order to forestall the contagion) by an Iranian cleric. To apply oil of pansy flowers (in polite society) to an unmentionable part of the anatomy, nightly, does not give one exactly a 'ring' of confidence. Happily bananas still appear to be abundantly available.

Those sections quoted of course originate with Hemingway.

it's currently easier and cheaper to stock up on underpants rather than bog rolls

and remember normal>reverse>inside out>reverse and you've got 4 days covered

easy peasy

 

and if desperate take some amoxil (don't overdo it) to constipate yourself

it's the little things that count

I am not sure what the fuss is about.

Ever since my pilgrimage trips to India and watching the Indians undertake their ablutions by the Yamuna and Ganga, I have followed suit.

If you look at the anatomy of the body and the geometry of the squat position, it is a piece of cake. As clean and clinical as a surgeons knife! 

Very hygienic and satisfactory on all counts. 

As long as your Princess is not watching.!

Daisy as long as you have the squat technique perfect (where you position both feet is critical) and have a hose, jug of water or creek water you dint need to worry about your hand or finger nails. 

All the same, in my travels across the plains of India I never shook hands or took food from a one armed Indian.

I think I will just make up some hip flasks of this concoction, potentially a great dual use here. My synopsis is that I can have a swig and then spray my hands. If I am perpetually [censored] I don’t believe the virus can get a look in. Constructive comments are welcome.

Earl, when you start marketing this world-wide you can reduce the cost of production by diluting the solution to 50/50. This will reduce the cost but there will still be enough alcohol to kill the germs as long as you are using 60 per cent proof. One of the benefits is that you can market different flavours. Lemon, orange, passion fruit or go for the herbal top ups such as sage, mint etc.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
