In addition to the whereabouts of Lord McCuntwhistle, could the Minister as a matter of urgency dispatch a consignment of biscuits, porn mags and toilet roll to Soundwave, a well loved are respected contributor to an e-bike forum;)
And possibly an Enigma machine, or failing that
I propose we get Soundwave to submit a question at PMQ's

Five is what some of the media consider to to be now, and they usually keep themselves quite well informed.

My best estimate is too many.
.
Whatever, I hope they don't take after their grandfather.

It has just struck me as astonishing that we are having to speculate over how many children the man with arguably the most important job in the country has fathered, and with how many different mothers. Like it or not, this man is all that we have to look after us as a nation.

The world truly has gone mental. Fifty years ago, the USA created what is still likely to be the mankind’s most complicated machine, and used it to carry 12 men to the Moon’s surface and back to Earth. Fast forwards fifty years and that same nation is finding it necessary to stop its citizens injecting themselves with disinfectant and putting UV torches up their backsides because the president has suggested it might cure Coronavirus.

When and where did it all go wrong?

No, you can't know the members of SAGE.
Ah, OK, you already know, so we'll let you know.
Yes, the members of SAGE have all the experience we need.
Ah, OK, so there are no virologists.
Yes, of course' we'll ask around a few universities to see if there is anyone else we can drag in to shoulder the blame.

Government rushes out request for experts to bolster Sage panel

Notice sent to universities amid concern over lack of expertise in parts of Covid-19 advisory group

NASA the other day (soon after bleachgate) showed Trump a spin-off room steriliser and the Director was very careful not to put ideas in Trump's noggin after he asked "so people can breathe it in?" and only vauguely referred to the active ingredient as a 'sterilant'.

Changing the subject slightly I must admire you guys who go out and jog, run, bike and walk around regardless, I must admit I haven't got the bottle. It's not so much the lockdown that would concern me, I would argue the toss if stopped anyway, I'm more worried about others getting in my way.

I'm very fortunate in that I know lots of people around here and they all know me, I communicate with everyone very well. At the moment though that would be a big problem as many I know have a sort of 'virus...what virus' kind of attitude so would approach me and want to chat for ages, normally I like that but not now.

I'm always busy at home anyway as my partner runs a small business, today it was parcelling and label printing, drove me crackers it did.

Ah, it’s five is it? There is a lot of secrecy, ambiguity and vagueness about the true number. A bit like everything else he is involved with.
His friend Jacob Rees Mogg has now let the cat out of the bag in parliament by confirming that Boris's latest baby is number six, so the media were lagging.

I go out about 05:00 hrs for my runs and usually stay rural. The newdoers aren’t around in their pristine running shoes and Lycra until after 08:00 hrs. They will lose their motivation and crumble in a few weeks, so won’t be a problem. I did run towards town on a 8 mile loop this morning, but apart from busy roads, didn’t see many others on foot. I think the first wet day for a while has kept people inside.

I gave you the answer a while ago
Russia has developed sub-orbital W.M.S stealth glide weapons and while NASA was tracking Santa a couple of years ago dropped one on every major capital in the West as he passed over head.

The Burning question of our time is not how long it takes for Covid 19 to run it's course.
It is this: What is the half life of the reactor core in a Weapon of Mass Stupidity?

How dare Raab kick off the Downing Street briefing by congratulating Johnson on the spawning of his latest bastard when 765 people have died in the last 24 hours. Many of whom would not have died if Johnson had taken Coronavirus seriously at the outset.

I don’t believe those care home death stats either. It was obvious that care homes were highly vulnerable weeks ago, even I saw that one coming. They are responsible for all those care homes deaths, they could have been avoided.
