Yeah things change without anyone telling ya

Gladys has gone all weak-kneed and the Nationals have gone on holiday somewhere, for good I hope, they're of no use even in good times, let alone with a virus hanging around. Haven't heard a word from them out here since this virus began

I'll have to take my chances going to town to do my shopping for food, I'll starve if I don't

I need food too, but I'm not risking going to WW or Coles - way too crowded.

I might pop into a petrol station and grab a sandwich and a frozen meal.

Petrol stations are empty lately.

thats cool.....the fact you DONT pop into supermarkets...is your prerogative... they are open and they do have food to sell.....thats the point...

I think we are very very lucky..

Yes, I know.

I've been telling that to people for a long time now.

When we eventually go into full lock-down, supermarkets will still be open.

As will pharmacies, bottle shops, and petrol stations.

There is NO need to panic-buy.

However, I'm not taking the risk of going into a supermarket as there are too many people in there and they generally don't follow the social distancing rules.

I'd rather pay twice the price for a bottle of water or a sandwich from a petrol station knowing that I'll be the only person (apart from the console operator) inside.

Saw a few packs at a Shell service station in North Perth about a month ago.

But, I'm sure the word has gotten around by now and the servos are probably the same as Coles and Woolworths, etc. - no toilet paper unless you get there as soon as they put it out on the shelves.

Pallets of Toilet Paper were delivered to the Coles Express petrol station at Parramatta Road, Five Dock overnight. Apart from some customers grabbing a pack or two, one customer loaded the back of his van up. When asked why he was buying in bulk, he replied, "Just in case they run out, I haven't been able to buy any, everyone else is buying it."

and when it doesnt suit you you call it FAKE NEWS..

some people will never be pleased.

What do you mean by that cods? It doesn't make sense, there's been no news out here to call fake, only the link I posted but then, the number of cases are vague, they are "1-4" for every town out here. What's "1-4" supposed to mean?

The NSW Health Minister has gone to jelly as well, all nervous and stumbling with his words on TV. They're all losing it

Yep. Idiots.

A problem created by people like Gordon and his fellow panic-buying hoarders.

There was never ever going to be a problem, but now they've gone and created one.

Speaking of Gordon, where is he? Haven't seen him here nearly all week.

Has he gone on one of those "bus tours" of the country towns to clean out and hoard all of their shops' toilet rolls, pasta, etc.?

Someone should have let him know that a lot of country shops have wised up and they're wanting to see ID to make sure only the locals are shopping.

The question needs to be asked ...why was he allowed to load up a van?

Obviously the servo managers don't give a farg who is panic buying. They should.

When I saw the packs (about half a dozen although they may have had more in the storeroom) of toilet rolls at the Shell servo in North Perth about a month ago there was a limit of one pack per customer.

Obviously, some servos care more about stopping hoarders than others.

Did he post in a MRB he's banned from?

Did he post in that MRB again, after being asked very nicely not to?

Did he then accuse the moderator of that board of being a child rapist?

No he didn't, there was no possessive "'s" on the word rapist, he was referring to Trump and should have said "The alleged" etc. As you know I have referred to your MRB as the Trump board before as it's all about him these days, not so much about film television and radio.
