That's already been covered in the "minor pluses" thread, fittingly.

Erm, this is the...

The guy at my office on office annoyances who has a habit of touching his privates while talking has resigned. So I don't have to deal with that dilemma when we get back to the office.

Duh, sorry! The perils of reading/posting on your phone while having your state-mandated dog walk, especially when there's 436 Covid threads.

I think it was in the very early stages of the thread.

While all our shops are closed, because they have to be, I can definitely say that boxed flower sales are up this year. We sold more in the last week than we did in Valentines week, and that never happens. Was just chatting with my drinks supplier, and she told me that they've sold more booze in the last month than they normally do in a year. So that's two trades which are getting an unexpected windfall.

All my high school friends and I were supposed to be at The Beat tonight. Cancelled obvs. But one guy - a DJ - is doing a Facebook / Zoom set right nor for all his friends. So much fun.

Very strong group. A lot of the meh countries must have fallen in qualifying.

Only doing one group a day, so every national flag is being sorted into 32 groups, which would take 87 days to conclude!

This is fantastic, and I can see no other scenario than supporting Bhutan all the way to the final. Nauru was a well-deserved runner-up, though.
