Those are not enough decadent greetings, lets learn Harlem style or better bring the twist back! Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLoPDNGOD9Y
And if you really want a clean show, what about a… soap opéra?

You know the Nord de France, Gerard - we just keep calm & carry on as normal!

...or as we would say in Norfolk, "du diffrunt".

THey're notorious for that! mine had a wander but my 'Axe guru' sorted it.

I'm a bass man, the one on my hit list is the rare/expensive one ( obviously) a 4005.

I went into one of the larger supermarkets the other day (orange logo) . . .empty shelves . . . . Did some shopping in one of the nicer ones ( green) and shelves are full . . . . THere's apparently a direct correlation with the size of the newspapers they read and/or whether they have more pictures than words in them

We could grow what in the garden instead of grass . . . .THe Allotment is currently so wet, rice is a more viable option!

A very tactfully worded social comment there zef!

What I want to ask Gerard is how come his side of the channel now can’t travel to the US while we still can.......

Saw a bit on the news about a white van stopped for being well over weight. It was completely full of toilet rolls.....

TBH I think The tango tanned twit has done them all a favour. It'll just mean people using our airports as a hub.

**Peter Mallett** · 12 Mar 2020, 08:47 (Ref:3963309)

Yes my thoughts exactly. That'll please BA.

Gerard C · 12 Mar 2020, 09:17 (Ref:3963316)

Joe, if we are to use what's in the garden, its either we happily keep on smoking or we have to roll fags with salad leaves! I guess smoking toilet rolls will be soon forbidden!

I'd love to answer that people are turning mad but no change in fact, they already are total gonzos! Just have a look to the procedure to be followed if you feel bad or detect some fever… it takes ages!

Gerard C · 12 Mar 2020, 09:35 (Ref:3963322)

Putting together some news lead to interrogation. Tunisia recently sent thirty Italians out and many there recommend to use garlic as a medicine against the virus. Nobody is able to say if garlic could replace toilet rolls but stay in tune, many other crazy infos to come…

Mine's an early 4001 - with different truss rod, later ones are easier to change of course!!
So I'm waiting for my brother's guru to look at it - then brother can sell it (he's got a good reputation for buying/selling/using musical stuff) along with the Warwick, Status etc that I never play!

4005 is very rare - around 500 made?
Is the idea to play it - apparently there's a reason they didn't make many!!!

zefarelly · 12 Mar 2020, 10:10 (Ref:3963336)

Nice Pete, Mines a 4003s . . . about 1988, a 63 reissue, twin truss rods, and amazingly they work. Graham Wheeler is the man I use, very good, and local ( Sussex) I don't know much about 4005 . . .Mani from the Stone Roses used to play them. BoT ( before Mike tells us off

) one of my Winter projects this year has been a Dynelectron made by Meazzi, a dano longhorn copy, as played by Walter Becker.

we have garlic growing in the allotment . . . . will I be able to afford to go racing soon ????

Gerard C · 12 Mar 2020, 10:42 (Ref:3963354)

Please allow me some minutes to check the garlic rate on the itn scene…*Have already to watch the half potato one for terence!

Still waiting for a garlic vs pepper test results in case of vampires invasion…

You probably will, Joe ..... but the other competitors may give you a wide berth.

John Elwin · 12 Mar 2020, 11:25 (Ref:3963388)

Well, I've just been shopping at Auchan in Arras & there's a mountain of toilet paper on special offer! How much do you need?

Maybe folks here don't use that much - who knows?

Gerard C · 12 Mar 2020, 19:10 (Ref:3963542)

John there are a lot of mountains surrounding Arras… Cant answer your question but still wondering what is not growing in Joe's allotment! He has already salads, garlic, rice… what else? Cortinas!

Magic mushrooms?

Gerard C · 12 Mar 2020, 19:20 (Ref:3963547)

Who knows!! Smoking idea I'd say …

On line, possibly.

For real on track stuff - the travel requirements may become impossible even assuming that events actually take place.

Will the F1 teams ever be able to leave Aus? Where will they travel to?

With the Cruise companies abandoning their schedules perhaps the F1 circus could rent a liner and run the seaside races behind closed doors travelling from location to location en mass. It would, at least, give them some activity this year.

Thinking about with the size of the teams they might need more than one ship. And perhaps be accompanied by the Hospital ship. Plenty of boats around so that would not be a problem.

Our président made several announcements, not surprising that all the politicians try to draw the blanket… Seems we are going to have a semi black out now. More important, many doctors say that many doctors and nurses are infected too. I dont think they will insist a lot healing old people but more likely concentrate themselves on younger ones.

Lots of private jets there to do Uber pick ups...

For anyone who is interested, Techno Classica Essen has now been re-scheduled to 24-28 June.

24 June also happens to be Alfa Romeo's 110th birthday.

**Tim Falce** · 13 Mar 2020, 12:56 (Ref:3963829)

Mrs Tim had to go shopping, no delivery slots available until next week, she said it was manic. There were shortages of certain things like pasta and toilet roll but surprisingly plenty of fruit and veg and other healthy foods, She did do a bit of panic buying though.....just in case like
