I know we are all thoroughly bored of Covid but I found it very interesting that yesterday, on the day we became according to the leading stats pedalled by the media, the second most affected country in the world, the press lead with a story about a scientist getting his leg over....

What does this tell us about ourselves?

Not an astute observation - or an accurate one.

This enforced sojourn has allowed some of us to do so many things, that we've long been meaning to.


From getting fit, rediscovering recipes/food - to reading the books we've meant to.

And from clearing out the kitchen/office drawer - to getting in touch (at last) with very old friend Nigel.


Most importantly - having the time to stand and stare.



Instead of enduring the joys of the Gatwick Express

- and the race that the rats are winning...

I meant we are bored of Covid as a subject Barney, not that we have to be personally bored as in lockdown...

But yes I agree that it is an opp to get creative/productive and re evaluate priorities...that is a big positive.

Like every other viewer wyot, that's what I assumed. Barney is on Planet Dumb.

Because most of us 'dumbs' consider almost 4 million coronavirus infections - and 260,000 very unpleasant deaths, in 20 weeks and every country - to be decidedly untrivial?

Who is Nigel?
