[Greasy Roads]

As a result of travelling in the dirty Covid-riven countries of France, Austria, and The Netherlands I am now subject to the UK quarantine rules. This is obviously going to be an incredible difficult time and I will really appreciate the forum's support for the next 14 days. I will be writing a diary to let you know how I'm passing the time.

[dannynomates]

I'm pleased you are taking this seriously Greasy Roads, these precautions are necessary to help curb the spread of this virus, in the same way as it's required to wear a mask on a bus but not so in front of a class full of children.

It's worth reminding you that should I suspect any breach of the rules, I shall enforce my own forum quarantine in you in the form of a ban.

Get fucked.

That would be a breach of quarantine, surely?

Not if he's wearing a "full body" condom...can he hold his breath that long -- a full 35 seconds??

Paint your fence? You let your last one get into a terrible state.

[Greasy Roads]

Paint your fence?

It's not my fucking fence, how many more times?

[StuckupPercy]

Paint your fence?

It's not my fucking fence, how many more times?

Even so you could still paint your side of it.

[Sonofsmegma]

Yes, that's true, surely.

Dad used to moan about the way the neighbours didn't maintain their hedges well.

So he just got one of those long cutters to slice the top off it, no matter how fucking wide they let it get on their side.

They never complained, and he kept his side neat.

Surely Greasy can do the same with regard to the fence on his side? Keep it neat that is, such as giving it a lick of paint. Not slicing the top off it, like in my example.

Danny would know, or at least google would for him.

[Mushshrooms]

No time for fence painting, I wouldn't think.
The red shitbox will be needing a total engine and transmission rebuild after it's little trip.

[FlowerCake]

How deeply interesting, can't wait for more.

Day One

Already the dreadful loneliness and isolation is affecting me. I'm stuck inside here. The only times I'm allowed out are to fetch food. I fire up the BMW and head down the shops. I have a walk around various shops and sort out enough essentials to last me until tomorrow morning when I'll have to go out again. I catch up on the football gossip at the butcher's. The postman brings this month's Viz which will help assuage the dreadful feelings of loneliness and isolation. I have a chat with him about the records he's bought while I've been away. George is following me around like a puppy now that I'm back and sits on my lap while I have a nap in the afternoon. I wake up to realise that I have no prawns for him. It's an emergency so I have to Worcester to the shops again. I can't find his favourite brand there so I drive over to Malvern where I find them in the sixth shop I visit. I don't know if I can face another thirteen days of this.

I'm going to spend today researching the exact rules of quarantine.

Dad was lonely at first during lockdown. Mum had run off again, this time with the new young barman from the local pub, before they closed down for good.

I was just calling him a cunt as per, and making attempts to get up to Teesside to sort out Routemaster once and for all, though never got to do that, sadly.

So dad, at first he was trying Skyping and WhatsApping, before his self importance got the better of him most of the time, and the people at the other end mysteriously lost connection. That's when he started to try and build a model ship. Out of matchsticks...

Can't you build or create something? Or at least as Mushrooms says, rebuild your car after the wear and tear of it latest trip? ;)

[dannynomates]

The guidance says you should not go shopping, but should order deliveries or ask friends or relatives to help pick up groceries or medication.

I am looking into this very carefully.

Day Two

It's another day of dreadful loneliness and isolation. I'm still stuck inside here, it's like a prison. I mow the lawns and take a look at the Morgan. I trace a rattle on the exhaust to the rear mounting so I take the whole thing off to reposition it. There's nothing in the house to eat so I head to the shops to buy some king prawns for a curry. I message my culinary intentions to a friend who suggests this would go nicely with a hard boiled egg. I have no eggs. This is an emergency so I walk round to the pub as they sell them. I stop for a coffee and a chat as it seems rude to just buy eggs and walk out. The curry is top notch. A mate of mine calls in later who doesn't realise my predicament. I try to get rid of him but he insists on staying and tanking for an hour or so. Another twelve days of this, I don't know if I can stand it without going mad.

No. I cannot have this. I can accept the garden and car jobs, and the shopping trip for prawns. The second trip for eggs I would have also allowed , although it’s prudent to check required ingredients first. However to stop at the pub for a coffee is off limits, as is allowing a guest into your house. I do not care how rude this may appear, you risked spreading disease, and I will not have my forum members behave in this manner and come here bragging about it.

Greasy Roads warned for disregard of quarantine rules.

I said it would be a ban but I’m not allowed that until 5 yellows have been issued.

Tanking?
