Strange virus side-effects

Post by enuff_zed » Wed Mar 25, 2020 12:26 pm

Every now and then an odd thought crosses my mind (a perilous journey)

I wonder if we'll see a rise in the population of pheasants, badgers, deer, rabbits etc, now that no-one is out there mowing them down every day?

And will there be a corresponding decrease in the numbers of crows etc that seem to rely on this road-kill as their staple diet.

I think we will see a human population explosion as people will be breeding like rabbits with nothing to do. Watch the December to January birth rate... Invest your savings in diaper and baby food companies now.

Well I will definitely be one of the investors, not one of the breeders!

Though a bit of practicing can't hurt :?

I can see people have far too much time on their hands :poke:

Working from home is not fun when you have Skype for Business, Teams Apps whoever invented these needs something inserting where the sun don't shine :cry:

I've worked from home for 11 years. No problem there but, business is on the decline so I've more free time to do the things I've joyfully put off doing for years! :headbang:

I rang my boss and said I'd spilt prosecco on the laptop, then dropped it in the hot tub, so I wouldn't be able to work for a while :rofl:
