Advantages Of The Pandemic

  1. I like to look on the bright side!

    1. No door-to-door salesman or beggars selling tat and claiming it is to help the homeless.

    etc

    ... and what is this British thing about rushing to open the door? If it's a friend then I'll know and be expecting them. It's a kind of "adman" thing that people knock on your door to tell you that you've won the a lottery... They don't 'phone or write?
     
  2. I was just sat here having a cuppa thinking about the year going by and how I have had the time to watch how amazing the sky has been with no planes in it, watching the ISS travelling around the planet, watching spacex go to the ISS and watching the guys coming back
    The silence of no traffic and the loudness of the birds and nature growing in the garden
    Watching the changing seasons
    Seeing the planets through the year
    Spending time out of the rat race.
    Keeping fit
    Starting yoga
    Learning to like my own company because I’m ok :)
    Having my family around me
    Celebrations 18th birthday without rushing off to work
    Being strong and standing up for myself
    Friends who have taken time and sat outside my window each week to keep me company
    Cooking and baking
    Just having precious time :)

  3. We have had no foreign tourists since April May apart from the ones who were "stuck" here and couldn't/didn't want to go home...double edged sword I know, but that and as Ducbird/Binbird said, no planes clogging up the sky...

  5. Just check out the web site "Flightradar24" if you think there's not many planes flying around the world !!

    Pay attention to USA, Brazil, Europe, India & the Far East, looks like business as usual !
     
  6. There has been a few planes flying over the last few months
    At the height of the lockdown none :) the sky got to breathe a while

  10. If you die, is your corpse hauled before the courts? That will liven things up!
     
  11. I'm under one of the southerly flight routes from Heathrow to the USA. There have certainly been much less flying. Planes going West to the USA are quite noisy usually as they are climbing.
     
  12. No, your family get fined £10k.
     
  13. The roads were cleared for me back in lockdown for fun factor ten:upyeah:.....which was a blast,but now the numpties have returned to try & kill me.:punch:

  18. Where were you when we needed you sir.;)
     
  19. About as useless as a man or woman in a red light district area without their wallet onboard.
     
  20. I hope some of the social distancing and mask wearing sticks.

    Often been on a train or plane with someone sat too close coughing and sneezing on everyone.
