    we have the same type of people here in the States. I cite the recent spring break fiasco in Florida. A lot of those kids recently tested positive for COVID-19. This is also why we here in the States have the warning on most coffee cups: "Warning - this beverage is extremely hot!".

      There's a rumour that Husqvarna had the sarcastic warning text on their chainsaws: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals" I strongly doubt that there is any truth in it, but funny nonetheless.

        Suppose you are under lockdown - you probably are - but you fancy having a party anyway. You'd keep the music down, close all the curtains, or live in a house miles from the neighbours, yes? Not in Englands third most populous city you don't: Coronavirus: Greater Manchester Police warning after 660 parties shut down - BBC News[^] 660 parties in a weekend, some with fireworks (so the police can spot you from further away), DJ (so the choons are nice'n'loud), or bouncy castles ... or to be really obvious, have it outdoors as a street party (166 of them!). Don't warn 'em - arrest 'em, and put them up before a court on Monday morning ... A weekend in teh cells counts as Social Distancing, doesn't it? :laugh:

          Local police in Québec are allowed to give tickets on the spot if people get together "too close". It's (starting at) $1000+$500 administrative surcharge for the first offense for each person. They gave 400 tickets in 3 days; they busted a soccer match.

          I'd rather be phishing!

            Yes, something about a special zone for criminal gangs in New York, and they somehow kidnap the President. I think Mel Gibson plays the hero.

                If it isn't true, is sure is a good lie! What is not a lie is Electrolux vacuum cleaners, marketed under the slogan "Nothing sucks like Electrolux".

                  Oh yes. But you have to queue to get in, and keep 2M apart at all times. Shops are limiting customer numbers, and only let a new one in when one leaves.

                    good. makes sense. some places here are now implementing the 1 for 1, entry rule. 6 feet(2 meter) distance, same here. basically you are not allowed here to just walk around aimlessly, or be in groups of people, without attracting the coppers.

                      Yes, it was the British importer that used it in the UK. And the people at Cogent Elliot were fully aware of the double entendre.

                            Escape from New York?  It had a much better actor in the lead role.

                              The one woman waited until the police had left, and restarted her party. So she finished the celebrations in a gaol cell.

                                    Sure, but judges who don't have the sense to dismiss such cases with prejudice are almost all former lawyers.

                                      Suppose you are under lockdown - you probably are - but you fancy having a party anyway. You'd keep the music down, close all the curtains, or live in a house miles from the neighbours, yes? Not in Englands third most populous city you don't: Coronavirus: Greater Manchester Police warning after 660 parties shut down - BBC News[^] 660 parties in a weekend, some with fireworks (so the police can spot you from further away), DJ (so the choons are nice'n'loud), or bouncy castles ... or to be really obvious, have it outdoors as a street party (166 of them!). Don't warn 'em - arrest 'em, and put them up before a court on Monday morning ... A weekend in teh cells counts as Social Distancing, doesn't it? :laugh:

                                      Hey man, what's more bright than a party? A Supernova might be. Let's party and ignore the OriginalGrief! :beer: :Jig: :beer: :Jig:

                                        Yes, something about a special zone for criminal gangs in New York, and they somehow kidnap the President. I think Mel Gibson plays the hero.

                                        Kurt Russell is Snake Plissken, no he isn't dead. The president's plane went down and he was captured. Stinkin' whippersnappers.

                                          Yep, same as Griff. Every lockdown I've seen allow going to at least the supermarkets and pharmacies and booze shops. We also have smaller local food store open like bakeries, butcher shops, fruits and veggies open. Most have the usual rules, queue outside, 2 meters apart, limited to 6 or less clients inside at the same time.

                                          I'd rather be phishing!
