  1. I will really start to panic when the DFS sale gets postponed due to Coronavirus
  2. just had an e-mail from our CEO - they are scaling back unnecessary expenditure to keep the company solvent ?
  3. in travel insurance as it happens (as you can imagine, this is causing that industry a lot of stress!)
  4. that's that - work from home from tomorrow until further notice (this applies to everyone in here, hope the server can cope!)
  5. I honestly think the best thing to do is be honest and give him the choice. If he is healthy and has the ability to make an informed decision then it should be his decision. Explain you are concerned, be honest about what you think the risks are and let him decide what he wants you to do. Am in a similar boat to an extent - my dad has diabetes, lung disease and lung cancer so a bout of this could finish him off (he's only 68). Having asked him about it he said he'd rather die of this than the alternative (that's gallows humour for you)
  6. when I first heard about Covid 19 in football terms I thought it was a new signing
  7. that isn't a football stand, its the trolley rack at Tesco........
  8. Messrs Klopp and Guardiola already get their y-fronts in a twist about fixture congestion, this will give them both coronaries
  9. Will that have a knock-on effect to the following season as well I wonder, seeing as the footballing calendar will be skewed by the later World Cup?
  10. Might have to do the same and avoid my Dad if this carries on - I dread to think what would happen if he contracted it (he has diabetes, lung disease and lung cancer - a bout of Covid-19 would likely finish him off when he's got enough to put up with)
  11. Roma's game in Sevilla in doubt as plane not authorised to leave Italy: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51831256 Anyone else think it would be a good idea to cancel Euro 2020 until next year, as I can see this season dragging on way into June and beyond at this rate
  12. today my office has started provisions for people working from home - already they've got pregnant women and people with existing health conditions working from home, I think this will be rolled out to others soon
  13. I shouldn't laugh at this but I just have - irony at god tier level
  14. behind closed hole in the fence I’ve heard
  15. A bloke I work with is going to Italy this weekend skiing for a week - he told HR and they told him not to come in the office when he returns until he's certain he hasn't contracted it. I would have cancelled the trip myself. I'm not worried about getting it myself as I am reasonably healthy but I am scared my dad will get it as he has lung disease, diabetes and lung cancer (these are the people we should really be trying to protect)
  16. if they are panicking about big crowds at matches putting people at risk of this virus (Bristol Rovers FC notwithstanding, I've seen bigger crowds on the bus stop on Redcliff Hill), I wonder if they would play games behind closed doors instead, to fulfil the fixture list
  17. I notice another fellow League One club is miles ahead of them off the pitch - how's the fruit market going ? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-51562457
  18. not really, Storm Dennis sorted that particular issue out I think
  19. The All-New Bristol Rovers Gnome - the perfect gift for the person you hate
