    This is a very weird feeling. Guess we'll see an increase in hypothetical A vs B threads . If there's been one constant to run to it's been sports namely action in the squared circle. It makes complete sense though for the mere mass volume at these events and the uncertainty of exactly what we're dealing with. I feel for the fighters, extended camp members and workers at these locales but guys like Arum need to shut his pie hole. He won't be hurting for money so much as the guys who were looking to pay the some rent competing to win a 6 rounder buried on the undercard. Talk about the ultimate loss of commission on the job.

    Things are getting pretty intense over here, in Quebec:

    1) all schools closed for the next 2 weeks.
    2) All events which gather 250+ people are closed.
    3) Everybody coming back from vacations will be quartained at their home for 2 weeks.
    4) Most work places now ask people to exceptionally work from home when their presence is not vital on their workplace.

    There are a LOt of little industries and shops that will be smashed by it, apparently that the Gov is working on a formula/package to compensate those who will be eligible, but it's gonna hit and it's gonna hit some of them very hard still.

    I have no idea what I'm going to do this afternoon between 1 and 5.

    I'm watching the fucking Lion King, was looking forward to the new F1 season more than anything and that's been cancelled, football has been cancelled, I was going to watch A Quiet Place 2 next weekend and that's been cancelled.

    And to top it off I can't buy any bog roll, I've got enough to last me till Monday but if I can't get any from Town then I will have to make sure I take my shits whilst at work, if I get caught short at home I'll just have to jump in the shower to clean myself off.

    Nipped to asda earlier and it was fucking bedlam!

    No bog roll,
    No dry pasta,
    Most of the rice gone,
    30 mins to get through the checkout, queues galore.

    Still, managed to pick up some industrial strength kitchen rolls which would double up and equate to 6 rolls if we cut them up in half! That'll do for the time being, so who's the real winner!?

    The toilet is always an option.
