    It's interesting seeing what people are stocking up on during these times of need - I saw a lovely-looking pair of humans shunting along trolleys full of cans, wheezing and gasping and likely dribbling sputum down their ankles as they did. Curious to see what they were, I had a peek - one trolley was full of cans of custard, the other, cans of rice pudding, the fucking fat cunts.

    Otherwise, people seem to be fairly content with the idea of spending three weeks in isolation eating nothing but pot noodles.
