@12boy I see on the map you're near Wind River. Have you seen the film?

We have just spent a happy 2 hours talking about the holidays we have had over the last 52 years. We have laughed and cried over the memories.
Stay safe folk and have a good nights kip everyone.

I went to college with a guy whose surname was Boak.
What does it mean in Scotlandland?

It means "the horn". My avatar is giving Mo the horn.

Hmmm. Gag......feel sick is about the best way to describe it I think.

Just waiting for Bojo’s announcement at 8.30. See if there are any more restrictions.

Is it my telly or is the voice sync out?

 

[Mo1959]

Well, is it a lock down or not? He hasn't actually said the words "Lock down" but he said the police will have the power to challenge people in the streets and fine them.

Mouth and voice out of sync.

I sure have seen it and as far as I know it was a low budget indie effort. I really liked it although I don't enjoy violence much. Actually was filmed in Utah a few hundred miles west. For a while my service area was the northern 2/3 of the state , including the Wind River reservation and later the whole state. I visited the reservation 2-3 times a year and tried my best to insure they were served well. I remember a situation where a man caught his wife and brother together and shot them both. The EMTs would not approach the house because they thought he might shoot them although he'd called for help after wounding his wife and brother and being overcome with remorse. He had to sit there and watch them bleed to death. Lots of sad stories on the reservation.

It's hardly a lockdown, because we can still go out, albeit for limited purposes.
