    Orphan 55 - For the first time in like forever I actually missed an episode of Doctor Who. What's even more sad is I wasn't bothered. Judging by all the reviews I have seen looks like I dodged a bullet. 

    Nope, I demand you seek it out and watch it. The rest of us had to.

    I just want to know how am I meant to keep my alcoholism fuelled with a three bottle limit on wine? Damn you Morrisons!

    Easy. You go out for 3, the send each member of your family out for 3 bottles at a time. Job done. Now you just need to find out who you’re still on good terms with. lol

    Thank you. I'm not quite as bad as I was, so there is an improvement happening. I've done very little the last few days other than watching movies, so I am watching good material in between Chibnall Doctor Who episodes. :lol:

    Though why you aren’t praising our Lord Chibnall is beyond me!

    I hope your food was still edible.  Our chippy is reopening on Monday apparently, at least its another option for people.

    It was. Just hope the Chinese takeaway we usually use opens again soon. Do enjoy it. :lol: Everywhere else is shut in town, barring the chippy at the other end of town, and (finding out after dinner) a Dominoes and a Del Pieros. (Had to be careful there. Nearly swore misspelling shut. :lol:)

    I am sat waiting for 2 hours for a Domino’s pizza delivery what has happened to the world, it used to be a 20 minute wait :eek:

    We were the same with a chippy. Told we'd get it in a hour or so (understandably, it's 1 of a extremely few places open in town) and we didn't get it till 2 hours later! :eek:

    This is odd. Went to work on Monday, only to be told at the end of my shift that my workplace would be closed for at least three weeks. I didn't go into work yesterday due to that. Got a phone call from them today saying they're open again from today and I'm back in work tonight, with changed hours from tomorrow as well. That three week closure didn't work out then did it? :lol: We're supposed to be having a meeting tonight to discuss what's happening, so that should be interesting.

    The opposite happened with us. Told there'd be no change at all, people complained, and now we're doing skeleton staff on alternative weeks.

    Hope your meeting is productive tonight. lol

    Oh rats, sorry to hear the 2 of you leaving as mods/admin! Hopefully will still see both of you at events! :crying:

    It’s been great having the 2 of you to turn to if no one else knew answers, you’ll both be missed!

    I do appreciate many companies can't do working from home by the very nature of the work but if they can and have the resources it's pretty sucky.  We can only hope that with the amount of people who are at home it gives a bit of extra protection.

    Likewise, the option is there to work from home, but it’s been pointed out by colleagues that, due to the nature of the job, there’s the possibility it can breach a few things.
     

    Agreed. There’s already 4 self isolating from the office, with them all dropping out yesterday, iirc (My days are kinda mixed up having St. Patrick’s Day off. XD), but they’re all precautionary and not confirmed as having COVID-19 at the moment.

    Still in the office. Still no decision on how to go about the virus. Discussions ongoing but could find out anytime between an hour and 5 weeks.

    Well, that was fun. Practically no change. Alternating days/weeks has been scrapped and it’s business as usual. If you have an underlying health condition you’ve to use your Annual Leave and it’s being “looked into” having a conference room freed up to spread people out, the earliest this happening being tomorrow. Yay. <_<

    Frozen II: not as good as the first one. It was an overall pretty good Disney classic. Nice graphics, humor was alright. Though the songs let me down a bit, there was no memorable song like in the first movie. Story wise it was an original script. 

    Hate to disagree but I actually prefer it to the first. :lol: It fixes a lot of the issues I have with the first film (although this one isn't flawless by any means either). I don't know what the more common opinion is regarding wether the first or second one is better, it seems to be an equal split from what I've seen.

     

    I’m gonna take the middle ground on this one! I think I like both equally. I was happy and surprised to see them take a massive diversion with the story but think it paid off. It’s true that this one doesn’t have a Let It Go but it’s still a really good soundtrack. Definitely the best sequel Disney Animation have done (outside of Pixar) in a long time.

    I haven't seen either of them, so I loathe them equally.
