Just run around in small circles shouting "Don't panic" - We'll be fine.
Went to Sainsbury's this morning, just same numbers of people as normal, but the piled up trollies were a sight to behold, just like the week before Christmas.

Combination of Corporal Jones ('don't panic') and Private Fraser ('we're doomed') from Dad's Army.
Think of the poor bastards in the lifeboats, the holocaust at Auschwitz et al and the millions queuing for non-existent food and and it will not seem to be a problem at all.

Half the girls in the UK have VD while the other half have Coronavirus so only sleep with the ones who cough.
 This has been a public service announcement

Have extensive experience of Paxmans. As an engine they are totally intolerant of bodgers but in fairness to them I've sailed with worse. Much worse. Is it any wonder I'm oul and cranky.

Don't play the 'old soldier' with us. You only had one Rolls Royce you admit to and your steamers would only have used a Paxman when you ran out of hot fog. As for old and cranky? It goes with the class one's command endorsement.

Tescos here this week were rationing Paracetamol to one packet per person. I'll see for myself more generally on Sunday - if anything is left! We have panic buying every time there is a high wind or the Ben My Chree breaks down.
Tomorrow I'll go to the 'Wine Seller'. I'm quite often in a panic to buy from there!

Did Flybe serve the IOM? Will another carrier pick up the slack?
I used them regularly on the Dublin/Southampton and Dublin/London Southend routes and found them very satisfactory.

There's a fair amount of consternation here in the West Country about Flybe. The railway service is close to non-existent once you're off the south coast, the roads now bear a strong resemblance to the surface of the Moon and if you see a bus, it's reported as a Martian Tripod Machine they're so rare.
When I was a kid visiting Co. Limerick where my old dear originated I used to travel up and down from Doon in a pony and trap. Could be I'll end up in one again the way things are going.

The good folk of Weymouth are heading off to Portland Port with their pitchforks and billhooks.
They got the blame for letting Black Death in - They don't want to be caught out like that again.

Hot of the Press...…… Sunday Times, 08 March 2020. (Page 3).
Good News, Discovery Channel is showing a series called Shipwreck Secrets which includes a show about SS Justica. The show had many highly, highly p ltantsd we wait with joyous anticipation, a few beers and a spicy pizza. Highly, highly paid consultants, who were also very good looking.
