    I'm still laughing at the fact people are panic buying toilet roll, went to Asda and Morrisons yesterday and you'd have thought shop was raided. Got some at Lidl, get to Lidl kids, there's plenty to go about.

    If only we still had the old tear-off paper season tickets. I bet there's loads going spare down at Hillsborough.

    Your IQ:

    150 minus the number of toilet rolls in your house

    You would have to start higher, partially due to my IQ level, but also my poor stock of bog roll.

    We normally pick up a nine pack during our big monthly shop but there are none left and we are starting to run low now.

    What surprises me is how people are panic buying soap. Did they not wash their hands before coronavirus? Dirty gits.

    in days of yore folk used a stick to er wipe their a*** - that's where the expression 'to get hold of the wrong end of the stick' comes from.
    Hope it doesn't come to that MK!

    The apocalypse. Death, destruction, nothing to wipe your arse on. Becoming a Sheffield Wednesday fan. How low can you go?
