The human race

[Les Woodard]

What they have not really thought through and if it carry's on could start to happen. They are going to keep guard over all their hoard as those without will start looking at raiding houses with all that stored goods. Another down side to all this is? Charities that got old stock from the super markets to help feed the needy have run out of stock and it could be these people who will be looking at finding food and such like from other sources like hoarders homes as I bet a lot of the stuff is stored in the garage. No fecking sympathy for them if it happens for sure. Ever wonder why everyone you talk to agrees about them hoarding but you never get to meet one of the anus wipes or that they own up to being one.

#3... I went out at 0700 hrs this morning and got a 6 pack of toilet rolls and another 6 pack from another store. Must be the first we have bought in 6 weeks. It is only by the government going public and disclaiming the hoarders, and the supermarkets following through and giving the old and infirm a clear 1 hrs. Run. That the OAPs are able to compete , from 0700 to 0800 you have to show your card to get admittance. Good on the supermarkets for following and enforcing government guide lines . JS. Thinking back to Bombay and the seamans club there you were only allowed 2 bottles of beer a day there, was that through shortages or they didn’t want too many rampant seamen running wild down Grant Road. ? JS.

Things began to improve here in Victoria, got a six pack of dunny rolls in the local supermarket but noticed they were out of Condoms.
Apparently as there is a shortage of rubber gloves they are being used as such to open doors and push buttons.

Then we went up country for the day Sunday.
Stopped at the next town about 35 klm up the road and went into the supermarket independently, she got a pack of 20, I got a pack of 20, only one pack per person.

Today they are empty again, our Richard Cranium of a state premier said yesterday lunch time that he was going to close all but essential services from noon Monday and included supermarkets in that, so once again panic buying.
Then this morning he had to fall in line with Federal rules which only bans clubs, bars, casinos, gyms, churches, restaurants and a few other odd ones from opening. Restaurants with take away facilities can still supply take away.

This afternoon it has quietened down with many now in a queue at the 'Missing Link' waiting to log on for benefits.

I was told all I needed to wear going to the supermarket was rubber gloves and a mask, felt a right Drongo when I saw everyone else with clothes on.

Does your GP still suggest it is all little more than flue and will be over in weeks ? is the question.

Well that answers my question that the two Johns are hoarders as both purchased more toilet paper than they needed. Or have they joined the panic brigade. For those that have not? Hang in there and it will soon stop. Went to the local supermarket today and it was real quiet there and starting to look like things are getting back to normal. Notice that there is plenty of fruit to be had so no problems with healthy tucker. As for shortages on condoms? Plenty in this area as they only sell large sizes LOL. Due to the fact that we have no end to the penises that live here. Now who else is going to own up to being hoarders

Read online, burglars broke into building site, forced open the door to one of the sheds, stole all the loo rolls, left expensive tools behind.
Thieves were caught, complete with loo roll haul.

I stayed there for a full week in 1970, and got beer for the first two days, then nothing for 3 days. The local police stopped beer trucks from running due to local rioting.
I used to crash out in the afternoon till I was put on the shake by a steward with a pot of tea, biscuits and a banana.
I used to have the snack on the small balcony watching the world go by and for the regular shunts which seemed to happen everyday outside.
Someone would be dropped off at the door then the vehicle would pull out into traffic without looking and smash.
The drivers would jump out and start yelling at each other till the police turned up and belted them with big sticks till they jumped back in their cars and drove off.
Better than watching telly (which they didnt have btw)
