[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Yes STMO. Utter bastard.

He hasn't been on here for years. I believe he eloped with a fella called Optimist69.

I believe it was Optimist 60 if memory serves. Total shithead, I'm glad he has gone.

[STEMO]

If I remember correctly, he was an absolute cad, hence optimistic about a fishy 69. I must have been wrong.

What was the user name of Optimist 60,s forum buddy in political threads ?
Big cigar for whoever answers quickly enough not to have searched for it.

I think he came from North of Hadrians wall, from the land of the 'manskirt'......hence Banjocks. Big fan of Nickbat I believe.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Yeah, I think him and Nickbat had a bromance thing going on. He gave up and ficked off in the end though. Nickbat was not easy to win a debate against.

I will give the forum a break for a couple of weeks. Got a lot on my plate with quite a lot of stuff that has got worse. Funnily enough my health seems to have got better from this morning , ditto my dads.

I realise my posts can be seen as pessimistic or conspiracy theorist at times. Just my view. If we all had the same outlook it would be pretty boring.

Might need some advice on technicalities or processes in which case I might post. Guys like Entwood and Lcxxxxxx ( sorry can’t remember your handle) have been a wealth of help in the past. I learnt about exercising POA financial today.

Anyway when I come back it will be as Varche2.0 , buen viaje amigos !

Still hates them and many others besides now.

Good luck with that. I've been trying to get both financial and medical POA's setup for my dad since Christmas. Can't get an appointment with the GP for love nor money, and with all that's going on at the moment it's unlikely I'll be able to get one this side of next Christmas now. The other option is a Lawyer/Solicitor who will want north of £800 and I suspect will still want a GP to sign off on it anyway.

Some of us have thick skins and can just ignore some of the more 'robust' banter on here. I hope it's not that which is forcing you away.

[Lizzie Zoom]

I can honestly say that I don't dislike anyone on this forum.......except that light-fingered scouse fella.

I know that not true..........how could anyone dislike little old me 

Yes indeed, you’re a lovely, sweet, Liverpudlian  cuddly bear really

[Lizzie Zoom]

That is a great explanation on what to do Steve

This is now being circulated to my relatives

I can't vouch for the accuracy, Lizzie. As I said, sent from a friend.

That is the problem Steve, there are a lot of versions out there off what we will get and what we should do ifif when we do!

Just received this from a friend:

DIRECTIONS
St George’s Hospital London

Virus Detection:
The simplest way to distinguish Coronavirus from a Common Cold is that the COVID-19 infection does not cause a cold nose or cough with cold, but it does create a dry and rough cough.
The virus is typically first installed in the throat causing inflammation and a feeling of dryness. This symptom can last between 3 and 4 days.
The virus typically then travels through the moisture present in the airways, goes down to the trachea and installs in the lungs, causing pneumonia that lasts about 5 or 6 days.
Pneumonia manifests with a high fever and difficulty breathing. The Common Cold is not
accompanied, but there may be a choking sensation. In this case, the doctor should be called immediately.
Experts suggest doing this simple verification every morning: Breathe in deeply and hold your breath for 10 seconds.  If this can be done without coughing, without difficulty, this shows that there is no fibrosis in the lungs, indicating the absence of infection.  It is recommended to do this control every morning to help detect infection.

Prevention:
The virus hates heat and dies if it is exposed to temperatures greater than 80°F (27°C). Therefore hot drinks such as infusions, broths or simply hot water should be consumed abundantly during the day.  These hot liquids kill the virus and are easy to ingest.
Avoid drinking ice water or drinks with ice cubes. Ensure that your mouth and throat are always wet, never DRY. You should drink a sip of water at least every 15 minutes. WHY?  Even when the virus enters water or other liquids through the mouth, it will get flushed through the oesophagus directly into the stomach where gastric acids destroy the virus. If there is not enough water, the virus can pass into the trachea and from there to the lungs, where it is very dangerous.
For those who can, sunbathe. The Sun's UV rays kill the virus and the vitamin D is good for you. The Coronavirus has a large size (diameter of 400-500 nanometers) so face masks can stop it, no special face masks are needed in daily life.
If an infected person sneezes near us, stay 10 feet (3.3 meters) away to allow the virus fall to the ground and prevent it from falling on you.
When the virus is on hard surfaces, it survives about 12 hours, therefore when hard surfaces such as doors, appliances, railings, etc. are touched, hands should be washed thoroughly and/or disinfected with alcoholic gel
The virus can live nested in clothes and tissues between 6 and 12 hours. Common detergents can kill it. Things that cannot be washed should be exposed to the Sun and the virus will die.
The transmission of the virus usually occurs by direct infection, touching fabrics, tissues or materials on which the virus is present.
Washing your hands is essential. The virus survives on our hands for only about 10 minutes. In that time many things can happen, rubbing the eyes, touching the nose or lips. This allows the virus to enter your throat. Therefore, for your good and the good of all, wash your hands very often and disinfect them.
You can gargle with disinfectant solutions (i.e. Listerine or Hydrogen Peroxide) that eliminate or minimize the amount of virus that can enter the throat. Doing so removes the virus before it goes down to the trachea and then to the lungs.
Disinfect things touched often: cellphone, keyboard, mouse, car steering wheel, door handles, etc

I really must apologise for posting this without checking the facts, I feel like a fool. Please ignore the advice above, it appears to be (mostly) rubbish. It came from someone I trust, and probably the same for them.
Sorry 

Yes and I fell for it!

All we can all do is try and help others when we can, by any means, but fake stuff is always going to be out there
