TUI have taken it upon themselves now to send me daily āremindersā that the final part payment for flights into Reus in June need to be made by March 20th.
Sis in law is flying out to the costa today, which I think is nuts ā¦ she may not get home.
Once the compound interest starts kicking in you are fucked
Ah here. Thereās a certain breed of person out there who needs a few home truths told to them.
Gobshite of a first cousin of mine and his wife and two kids are still planning to go on a skiing trip to Val dāIsere theyāve booked, I think itās this weekend theyāre supposed to be going.
Given the husband has a high powered job in financial services and the wife is by all accounts Maria Steen-like in her conservative religious views, it doesnāt surprise me at all theyād be so irresponsible. A right mix between the hubris of the Celtic Tiger and evangelical craziness.
Thereās no talking to some people.
I think we might see airports locked down by Sunday /Monday
The problem is they wonāt be able to do it right away. Youād probably need a three day grace period at least.
The Masters is OFF
Serves them right for ditching BBC.

I donāt think Iāll be coughing up the rest, Spain looks like itās on a crash course for an Italy type situation. Reus which is in Catalan territory is already closing down local routes.
TUI themselves Iād imagine will struggle to survive this.
Itās Friday the 13th lads, will it be an unlucky or lucky 13th?
Iām going to go with lucky. I have an emerging hypothesis that should calm the nerves of the forum somewhat and restore a bit of sanity.
Letās say we believe Chinaās reported numbers. As reported by @labane1917 on January 27th the virus had spread to all 31 Chinese provinces, thatās six weeks ago. Even accounting for Chinaās draconian measures there is simply no way they could have contained the outbreak completely, given how contagious we now know it is and given the population sizes they are dealing with. What we do know is that in late January they changed their reporting criteria in Wuhan to match all other provinces, only reporting serious cases, and since then numbers leveled off and most confirmed cases outside Wuhan have recovered with very few dead.
Hunan which is the nearest province to Wuhan has 1,018 confirmed cases with 1,005 recovered and 4 dead. Thatās far less serious cases and deaths than obviously Iran and Italy, but also France and Spain. @Thomas_Brady, are they just lying? Iām beginning to think they are not and a combination of their draconian measures and something else is driving this decline in serious cases.
So what is this āsomething elseā. The answer may be that this is evolving into just another coronavirus like the four we have already that cause the common cold. This is the more optimistic of the two scenarios in the attached article. Iāll provide bullet points after I get another cup of tea.
