So true. But these people are beyond stupid. If they actually stopped to think they would realise that even after their panic buying back in April, the shops were still restocked within a couple of weeks.

oh, yes...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Thanks Griff!
Yes, I am offshore, left home 6-nov and here until end of January! 
Bought myself a Celestron 11" Rasa telescope to celebrate, it got delivered a few days ago at home.
Today was a good start, rescued a green turtle that had got hung up in fishing line and floats which had then got entangled round the platform.
Grappling hook to get it onboard then cut it free and removed the fishing hooks from its neck and body. God their skin is tough! Anyway, it's free and released back into the gulf now, to live another Day.
Hope the rest of the day is peaceful!
P.s. 200k is knocking on the door....cough cough been a while hovering around!

You being offshore for the holydays seems to be constant... One may think you love the life better without the preparations and such 
Happy birthday!!!

I know, it's been a bad few years of timing! It was bad enough missing the whole of summer as well.

Was the turtle wearing a red hat btw?
|
|
|
|
|
No but it was wearing about 6 polystyrene floats and bottles. Poor we thing had hooks embedded in it. Kept trying to swim under the water but couldn't get anywhere. The line was also wrapped round it's front left flipper cutting in.
It swam away quite happily when we had cleaned it up and put it back in the sea.

I think we have been making more effort in Cyprus than in UK. We have district movement restrictions, night time curfews, public masks, early restaurants closing, School closures etc.
Police are enforcing with heavy fines.
|
|
|
|
|
I agree - the government is making all the right moves, and the fines can be eye-watering, but every day I read of tens - sometimes even as much as a hundred - fines issued that day. Over the last 60 days the average daily increase in cases is 290 per day, with a mean rate of increase of 6.3 cases per day. I doubt vaccination will start for another month, so we could be looking at up to 600 cases per day, with Christmas and the New Year coming up. The graph 'Total Coronavirus Cases in Cyprus' at Cyprus Coronavirus: 17,476 Cases and 89 Deaths - Worldometer[^] ] shows the worrying gradient of the infection rate.
The government has made some bold, but for some, unpopular decisions, but I fear they are being flaunted by a selfish few.

Happy birthday Dave, new telescope looks awesome...keep the photos coming.
I'm not sure how many cookies it makes to be happy, but so far it's not 27.

This evening my coffee maker machine committed suicide!  I am frantic and near tears! No coffee tomorrow morning! AAAaaaaaarrrrgh! I will probably take a handful of Java beans and suck on them tomorrow. 
Ps: Please don't send flowers. It will just make me cry!
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

Either have the coffee Turkish-style (grounds in the cup, very strong, with sugar), or :shudder: have instant coffee.
