Im delivering hand stanitser towers for the lobby and office

Have you got some ‘CCTV’ stickers to put discretely near the sanitiser? Not the actual gear, just some stickers.

Obviously people flog stuff that isnt nailed down these days. I swear there is so much gorilla tape around the dispensers these days in the supermarket I go to!

Some sensible comments from Morrison today where we aren’t aiming for elimination but management. If elimination occurred as a by product then that’s just a bonus.

That maybe ScoMo's goal, but it would seem that most of the Premiers are after elimination.

Separately from the dispensers? Or discreetly, i.e. covertly?

I can't see how either would be useful. If they're too far away then would they be read?
If they can't be seen then they're otiose.

Gorilla tape to prevent a guerilla attack?

Discreetly doesn't mean covertly, does it? Put or affixed in a discrete manner (without a show of ostentation, perhaps) and placed separate from the dispensers, else the sticker will disappear along with the dispenser

Perhaps we can both take the Humpty Dumpty defence:

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."

Clearly you read much cleverer books than I do!

The UK is introducing a new "Test and Trace" system after Covid-19 infections are confirmed ....

Ah. They have come up with something new, to test and trace.

Naive comes to mind. Which means we are going to get into a lather every time we get a positive. Which will happen.

Perhaps they are reading the polling tea leaves

Unsurprisingly the performance of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat we were due to see in July in the London West End has now been postponed by 1 year, so our booking is carried forward to the same day next year.

Slowly working our way through the Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals..... last one we saw was Jesus Christ Superstar. Now that was an odd show.

Although I have never seen the performance, wasn’t it doing the circuit in the 1970s?

Possibly, but that's well before I was born!

With Jon English as Judas in the Oz performances.

Edit: When you posted “slowly working our way through ......”, I thought that you may have been doing it over the past 50 years.

He was great

I love that one! I was a teenager back then. Marcia Hines and a very cute Jesus. Well I think it was Marcia but the Jesus guy was cute. I've had too much alcohol, I think. Marcia was later. And I was sweet 16. Doing my last year at school. I remember it well.

• Jon English (Judas)

I just added detail. I was 16 at the time. And he was cute.

Why did we get here?
