I'm not an essential worker
So I guess I'm a bit of a shirker
But at seventy plus
I won't make a fuss
I'll just get around in a burqa.

A story I’ll tell of a chap
Who thought he the virus...

I've had a few similar, Tony, but without the courteous "goodbye." Just a disconnect. I assumed that they realised that I am the guy who pronounces curses on them and decided it was wiser not to...

Three calls yesterday, all at inconvenient times, from "Spark." It seems after they were unable to contact me, they are going to disconnect my landline AND my internet within 24 hours! "press one...

I didn't really want his wife and kids to croak. I don't mind if he chooses to, though.
