    What is the best salad dressing? or does anyone have any good recipes? I want to be prepared for when my window sill harvest is ready for eating.

    I know you are having a laugh at the Greenies, but for those like myself who ill hopefully have a patch of salad greens down the back of the garden, I can recommend an easy one...

    Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a pinch of garlic salt, and a touch of lemon juice. Shake it and enjoy. Best to put it in the bottom of the salad bowl, leaves on top, and then toss when ready.

    Jaysus any port in a storm to stave off inertia lol.

    I am amazed at how many people are big into the gym, running, jogging and general fitness. WOW.

    And yet you just have to look around you to see many overweight people.

    Anyway, forced isolation might make many go out for a permitted walk at least, even twenty minutes, half an hour whatever instead of staring at screens and Instagram etc. Could be good for us all.

    Fitness has become more popular in recent years but also there's a lot of posers that talk a good game but do **** all other than hang around and take snaps.

    Trump on Chloroquine:

    "Could be the biggest thing in the history of medicine"

    "I have a good feeling about it, i'm a smart guy"



    giphy.gif

    It’s proving to be an excellent medicine and New York ordered millions of pills. The idiots in Arizona ate fish food , that’s not on Trump. I tell you what if a doctor recommends it, if heaven forbid you get Coronavirus, don’t take it ok

    There's always a chance but I'd say it's a similar likelihood to pulling a lad off a barstool after 12 pints and expecting him to race against Usain Bolt over 100metres and beat him.

    like directly off the barstool or does the lad have time to complete a decent training plan?

    Is it possible to report people that are not self isolating even though they got tested and haven't got results yet?
    Found out today my next door neighbour got tested yesterday, yet she was out walking around today and in the local shop and her husband has been going to work. f**kers could be infecting loads of people if she does have it.

    He's allowed a kebab or a pizza and to stick his fingers down his throat twice. One bottle of lucozade and one bottle of water to replace lost fluids also

    What is the point of this? I wonder how this will go for them? Seems like a huge attention seeking waste of time
    LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A class action lawsuit filed Monday in Nevada District Court seeks unspecified damages from China for the harm it has caused to small businesses United States.

    In a 23-page summary, the lawsuit accuses China of causing the coronavirus pandemic by sponsoring reckless experiments at a bio lab in Wuhan, China. The lawsuit was filed by Las Vegas attorneys led by Robert T. Eglet of Las Vegas. Lawyers are seeking a jury trial.

    Five small businesses are named as plaintiffs, including a CPR services company, a company that wholesales flowers, and Bella Vita LLC, a company that runs a restaurant in Las Vegas.

    The lawsuit assigns blame for the spread of the virus to the US by allowing travel from Nov. 17, 2019 to Feb. 2, 2020, and seeks compensation for the catastrophic damage it has done to US tourism and small businesses.

    The lawsuit names the People’s Republic of China, the country’s National Health Commission, Ministry of Emergency Management, Ministry of Civil Affairs, and also the province of Hubei and the city of Wuhan.

    Is this good or bad news?



    It appears as if Iceland might have a mild dose of the CV

    Iceland is one of the few places that has tested a large number of people at random, which gives you a real denominator to figure out the % who develop severe or fatal disease.

    The random testing so far found that nearly 1% of people had the virus, and many of them had no or minimal symptoms. If 1% of the whole country was infected, that would mean 80% were undetected.

    The trouble is they've almost run out of swabs so I'm hoping they get some more soon to carry on the work.

    The company behind the work is deCODE Genetics, brainchild of controversial Icelandic genomics rockstar Kari Stefansson, so we can all expect to hear a lot more about it.

    Not even fish food, "an additive used to clean fish tanks."

    Arseholes. Bound to be some way to report. If you do find out can you post it.
    No matter how stupid I know people can be they still astound me. Like how can they not know the risk by now

    Well if they cant shoot the problem I guess they just sue the problem.

    Sounds like one of the aforementioned salad dressings


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 624 ✭✭✭Humberto Salazar


    It's not anti British, its anti Cummings and Borris, I think Labour would have done a better job, in fact anyone would have. BJ has watched what happened in China and Italy and did nothing, who else is to blame?



    Who are "you lot"?

    The cohort of posters here continually sniping at Britain, finding fault with everything even when they get it right. It's nasty, unnecessary and beyond normal acceptable criticism. They don't snipe at Macron. Or the Spanish PM. They have made terrible errors at the start of this and tragically this has caused more loss of life than may have been the case.

    What does that mean exactly ? Did a doctor, one of your neighbours family members tell you ?

    What i'm saying is, be 100% sure otherwise you're just wasting Guards time.

    If 100% sure, report the fukkers.

    Leo by allowing the takeaway food sector and restaurants to operate a takeaway service has opened up a whole new front for the Covid19 virus to be transmitted by the food handlers onto the food and packaging being supplied to their customers, bull-sh*itting about how so many people get their protein from takeaway food operators , well let me tell you Taoiseach this virus loves you, have all these food handlers been tested for Codid19 wait till the clusters are traced back to your policy on takeaways will you have apology ready for the people who will have died from this inaction.

    Or perhaps he doesn't want people in emergency accommodation like B&Bs to starve.
    What do you suggest people with no access to cooking facilities do for hot food?

    I'm a fan of:

    EV Olive Oil,
    Salt,
    Pepper,
    Honey,
    Balsamic
    and teeny splash of pumpkin seed oil.

    She told the neighbour on the other side of them that she got tested.

    In that case you should close all supermarkets as someone has to touch every product to put it on a shelf.

    Ordering in a takeaway does sound a bit mad to be fair. Food prepared by a stranger. I'd be hesitant even during normal times. I think the decision to leave the option available reflects the cooking standards of some in the country. Also, maybe some actually do depend on takeaways.

    Any chance this will blow over in the next week to ten days? Getting the feeling we've seen the worst/won't effect us majorly.

    I need you as a friend 😂
