This is brilliant!

Ohhh that was so nasty. Gutted for Alan.

Got a letter inviting my household to join the ONS Covid Infection Survey – I know a few people on here are already part of it, is it worth signing up?

Pros - Weekly covid tests and an antibody test with results, plus a voucher.
Cons - I've not been filled with confidence that anything official that's related to covid is going to be anything other than a shitshow

It's because the new kit wasn't registered in time apparently.

No, but it's a pretty well known cycling brand's account and would have confused the heck out of everyone who saw it...

Accidentally posted an Instagram story that was intended for my personal account about coming last in my race and eating vegan junk food on the work IG account of 80k followers instead, and didn't realise until I looked at my phone again nearly an hour later.

FUCK!

I don't think I've looked at a bike thread for at least five years...

Bettiol because he looked on fire last week and six man teams mean the stronger teams won't be able to hide behind their domestiques for most of the race.

This map is useful as it breaks down weekly cases to a very granular local level. I am pretty concerned that where I live (the border between Stamford Hill and Stoke Newington) appears to be the middle of a hotspot. I looked at it last week and only two areas had cases - now six do. And that's the data from the week before last.

Ah that's such a nice memory.

This one deserves it's own post

Hai!

I was on my way back from being a guinea pig at HHV's new socially distant sessions. So good to be back on the track...

Hello!! I recognised Ger but wondered who everyone else was. I saw @Vince on the way out too in a NLTCBMBC jersey, great day for forumenger spotting!

My mum cut her hand open really badly (A&E trip required) with a stanley knife trying to open a pack of knives in a packet just like that. If only she'd had one of these bad boys.

We had a volley of fireworks last week on my street. Le sigh.

Also, I swear it's getting longer each week as people don't want to be the first to turn tail and close their doors for fear of being the least fawning towards the NHS.

I was making tea at 8 and couldn't bring myself to drop everything to go and do it. Am I less of an upstanding citizen now?

Hellooo! It lifted my soul to see the Look out and about in the park, and lovely to see a friendly forumenger (at a socially appropriate distance) in these times.

My smell/taste was gone for almost a week with no other symptoms. It only disappeared after my headaches and fatigue went away so I decided after some internetting that it was post-viral anosmia.

It started coming back yesterday (after losing it last Sunday) and today I could finally taste my dinner again! Such a relief.

Boris has been moved to intensive care according to Twitter...Dominic Raab is now in charge.

Went for a quick Essex spin today and was happy to see police cars and officers at High Beach turning away anyone who was arriving by car. Cyclists were fine to roll through.

My boyfriend had the common symptoms at the start of the week (painful cough, temperature, aches and a headache). They eased off after a few days but since Thursday he lost his sense of smell and taste. I've been feeling a little bit rough this week too but not 'proper' ill, but today my sense of smell totally disappeared. I'm no hypochondriac so I feel like it's too much of a coincidence. I've been going around the house furiously smelling things to make sure I'm not going mad.

Today's deaths by country chart. Trajectory is not looking good for the UK.

I LOVE your shop!! Had no idea you were 'on here', that makes it even better. Might even pop by later and treat myself to from wfh socks.

If you close, will you continue to sell online? Is that still viable?

My boyfriend runs a charity about grief – they used to run weekly groups in London but the last was yesterday before they stopped face to face meetings. They are looking at online equivalents at the moment so if anyone sadly might need support in this way you can find them here.

Thank you! It just seemed like the right thing to do, couldn't let such an iconic race go to waste and we happened to be in a lucky position to something about it.
