I think it’s the right call for the country, too many fcukwits wanting to stand beside each other & the health service already creaking at the seams, but it’s going to be hard for the business even with the government’s help
Ah well, there’s more important things than money. Funny you only realise that as you get older
Stay safe folks

List is due to be published on Saturday. It wasn’t finished when the announcement was made.
To honest with ya Jochen, I'm sitting here watching Ozark and I strangely lookin forward to the minimum 2 weeks off work. The money tap being reduced to a trickle for a while will hurt....but as you say...that seems less important as you get older.I think it’s the right call for the country, too many fcukwits wanting to stand beside each other & the health service already creaking at the seams, but it’s going to be hard for the business even with the government’s help

Not being able to ride the bike is going to be tough but in the greater scheme of things, it's a tiny sacrifice.

There should be more important things than money, but the world's function depends on money... strange times indeed, but after the dust settles the billionaires will have us all back to our stations in no time, no doubt even deeper and longer in debt to them...
It had to happen I suppose in order to control the selfish fuckwits who endanger everyone else.
Makes my job a lot easier though with feck all traffic on the road.

We have been told that our factory will close on 3 April and reopen on 15 and we have to use 5 days holiday so we will not be benefiting from the bail out the extra two days are the bank holiday ,hope the management aren’t claiming anything from government.
I think we should be closed as we only make aircraft parts so not really essential.

My job is non essential (bike instructor). My client for today called me last night after seeing the news and told me he could go ahead with his IBT course because his job was essential (broadband provider). Took a longer-than-you-might-expect discussion before he understood that we couldn't go ahead because my job was non essential... 
Has anyone got a link they can share for all of this?
Finally found out how to remove the annoying signature everytime I post.....

I spent yesterday fitting a new battery to the bike. I haven't been out properly since last November. I'll spend tomorrow disconnecting it as the bike will be laid up for the next 4 weeks at least.
I won't have time to read any books or binge on Netflix as I'll be up to my tonsils in work until all this over. Provided that is I don't catch it myself or end up isolated in which case the pharmacy will be closed for 2 weeks at least with no money for me.
When all this is over I'm having a holiday!

Lockdown's fine.
Phase four – 20 July
With regard to community health measures, the document advises that during phase four travel can be extended to outside a person’s region.
So, hopefully we can all do the wild atlantic way in late July ��

Extension to 20km might allow me to get a few photorally points done. The Dublin one is close enough to do on my electric bike! 
Might have a new version of the photorally. Do as many points as possible using backroads and avoiding Garda checkpoints.
