It's prob a leftover from the Brexit preppers. I have to say we keep a large store of toilet paper as the medicine I take for diverticulosis means that I use a ridiculous amount of toilet paper :eek: (plus am sensitive to a lot of them too!) so we try to stay one step ahead! :oops: I gather...

I think that the virus has been found in faeces too, so especially be careful if you need to use a public toilet. I think this may have been mentioned already, but I reckon it's good to remind people. Also make sure you put the toilet seat down before flushing! OH and I do this all the time, but...

The thread has moved on now, but I'd written this so am going to post it anyway. That's not much bloody use is it? I score 9 on that, and I'm at the severe end of moderate as I understand it. "I wish to be alone" - shades of Greta Garbo! :rolleyes: I don't wish to be alone, so that's a 0...

Thanks @Hutan for your reply. I've never really "got" why Ritalin was a good idea for kids with ADHD - seems a bit counter intuitive. But what do I know! (Nothing, just to be really clear)

Why prescribe Ritalin? I don't know much about it, but it seems like not a good match for ME? Don't feel you have to discuss this if you'd prefer not to @Hutan.

@Snow Leopard, @Sarah94 and @Michelle, thank you all for pointing out Duolingo. I've started the Welsh course, and so has OH. For me some days are better than others - what I'm particularly dreading is when I am asked to translate into Welsh "I am a secretary"! "Ysgreddwnnau dw i"? Doesn't look...

Is hand sanitiser better than hand washing for coronavirus? Thought this might be of interest.

This is quite an interesting take on COVID19 from The Grauniad - comparing the way things are in UK now with the village of Eyam. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/feb/28/coronovirus-test-wellbeing-herd-vaccination

Thanks for the brief sum up @Trish. :) I tried to open the file, but the Acrobat file caused my laptop to have a hissy fit and overheat and other things stopped responding, so no way can I read it!

Someone from WHO was on BBC Breakfast this morning talking about masks. She said that the main point of masks was to prevent infecting other people. The mask contains any coughs or sneezes. But the downside is that as soon as it gets damp it loses its containment abilities. And in changing the...

I'm somewhat worried about it as both myself and OH are over 70, so as I said above somewhere our mortality rates are reputedly 8%. Of course those figures might have changed again by now, but that's a bit worrying. Not that worried for myself, as it seems to me my ME means I have a...

8% mortality rate for my age! :eek:

:eek: I couldn't manage one 20 minute telephone conversation. Are they mad? (rhetorical question)

I missed all the lessons on how to do joined up hand writing. I think it might have been down to measles. I used to be able to manage OK if I wrote very small, not sure why! But the teachers wouldn't allow that. Grrr. Nowadays every Christmas I have to write out 6 cheques for family. It takes...

On the titles at the beginning of the video it said she was a "medical herbalist". I think she's more of a :emoji_duck::emoji_duck::emoji_duck:

You might find this interesting - stock markets down already. https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2020/02/24/the-chance-of-a-global-downturn-is-growing/ Further to my previous post, the 4 people ill from the latest repatriation from the Diamond Princess have been sent to Royal Liverpool...

Here's what PROMed mail has to say about the Diamond Princess people in UK: Arrowe Park Hospital is a large hospital on the edge of a public open space (Arrowe Park), and just across from lots of housing. The people who live near by were freaked out enough by the first 2 lots of people who...

Given the state of hospitals in Liverpool if I get it I'm f***ed. (just been watching Hospital on iPlayer this afternoon with the state of the Royal Liverpool University Hospital getting some publicity). Heaven only knows when our new RLUH will open after the complete mess Carillion made of it...

I wrote about Mickel therapy back in 2007. It's possible not all the links will work now. http://liverpool-leftovers.blogspot.com/2007/01/how-to-part-patients-from-their-money.html
