For those of us in two car households with at least 1 person WFH, it probably would have made sense to take one car off the road (assuming you have a private drive) and change the insurance to fire and theft only at the start of the lockdown. /hindsight

Before we talk about coronavirus, I have some bad news about the EU. And the US president.

The new Nintendo is a great console though.

Oh it's still teh doomed.
Microsoft have made a dream team development studio of Miyamoto and Molyneux that will make all games from now on and Nintendo and Sony have both agreed that they'll exit the games business in 2025 once the first game is released and all other games stop selling for obvious reasons.

I did my maths wrong it's actually just over 50 a month with breakdown cover. It's sadly not a very exciting car just a Ford Focus.

Amusement under late capitalism is the prolongation of work.

Computer Arts Magazine, .Net, and Windows Help & Advice magazine (it was never clear to me if this was still an official publication or not) following Official Xbox Magazine in all closing their doors due to Covid.

The print industry is being decimated, evidently. When the sales figures of newspapers are revealed next month they're probably going to be diabolical.

I can say nothing except my thoughts are with readers of the daily mail at this difficult time.

God could you imagine if The Sun, Mail, Telegraph, and Express just went under?

I mean you'd still have plenty of outlets for bigots but what a start it would be.

I went out for about 20 minutes for a stroll and a quick stop at the local shop for some bits and pieces and in that time remembered why i hate people. Luckily I was planning on taking the long route, as the short route goes by a row of houses and there were about 6 people sat outside on the grass/pavement engaged in oi oi/lads!-tier banter, and as i was walking along the road some shaven-head prick passenger in a ford ka driving by leans out the window and says something unintelligible at me, which I consider myself fortunate for not having heard.

It’d be a glorious world for a bit, but the morons would just end up getting “news” from Facebook and from watching Alex Jones online and we’d be even worse off.
