Why don't you start making ... Oh, never mind!

You keep saying BRIE, but the Wiki article you posted earlier was about BREI. I know I live upside down on the other side of the world where toilets drain the other way*, but I am confused. Spoiler: They don't.

Maybe he means a case of 24 for like $48?

If you enjoy Hilary Mantel's books, she was also the presenter of the BBC Reith Lectures a couple of years ago. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08vkm52/episodes/player The ABC, BBC and CBC have similar lecture series every year (the Boyer, Reith and Massey lectures respectively). They are well worth taking the time to listen to.

On my to do list.

Mullets are not acceptable even in private.

Yes (having checked Wiki), they both did. Mary was a daughter of James II & VII and William's mother was a daughter of Charles I, so Mary had the higher claim.

That's be my choice. I haven't watched the series but I've seen heaps over the years of him hosting TV series to know that he would have been fascinating to chat with. The IRA made a gross error of judgment.

Exercise is allowed here but not gyms, and trainers are only permitted to do one-on-one training.

Cafes here are generally open for takeaway coffee.

For you the risk is probably minimal, for him a little higher. As long as you don't hug, it seems to me not to be a great risk.

Comparatively, we're doing really well, but we're about to go into winter and nobody knows how seasonal the virus will be. Except Donald Trump, and he knows everything. We have lockdowns that will go for at least another month. Only essential trips out of the house, but shopping and exercise count. Restaurants and cafes are closed for sit down customers but takeaway and delivery is allowed, including wine from licensed premises. A lot of food outlets are being really creative. Schools are open but universities are not, but both are encouraging on-line learning rather than have students attend in person. Canberra is fairly liberal in what you can do, and the police haven't issued any fines, they've just told people what the rules are. Australia has 6.5K cases and 71 deaths, and the trend is down. Here in the Capital Territory (population c400K) we haven't had any new cases in the last six days and we've only had 103 cases and three deaths.

Still warmer than the 19 or 20 degrees here in Canberra the last few days. (That's Celsius.)

Perish the thought!

Have you tried a cucumber?

In the still shot I wondered what was going on here with the strawberry underneath the animal. The video reveals all. There's a pouch joey. [MEDIA=twitter]1251776915955843073[/MEDIA]

It'll be fine.

In this time of isolation, nice, @jjkrkwood

Yes, I get why chains like Sizzler and Arby's set up, what I don't understand is why so many small operations feel the need to set up three, four or fifty outlets rather than just run a single restaurant and make a living. Either go national or stay local.

Yes, that would be a good idea, and perhaps even work out how to post it in a 'quotation box'. That would be good..

This is something that still perplexes me, even though I should be used to it. Why would a place set up outlets with the same name in cities that were remote to each other? There are very few 'chain' restaurants in Australia, the fast food chains, and some coffee and chocolate places but for the most part restaurants are 'one off'. Even related restaurants tend to be named differently, if a chef heads three or four they would have different names. Even within Canberra a Malaysian restaurant I love has an affiliated restaurant with a different name in another suburb.

Yes, Pikes Peak and Pike's pique are entirely different things!

You're not the only one, especially in this forum!

'Stay at home unless what you are doing out is essential.' Travelling for work, buying essential supplies, going to a medical appointment and exercising all qualify. Stopping on your walk and sitting on the grass or on a park bench for a coffee does not. Nor, apparently does sunbaking on the beach. So, [MEDIA=twitter]1251030768316342272[/MEDIA]

Oops, I accidentally did more than some would be clients to check some of your boxes just so I could reply to things you'd posted here!
