This morning, a bloke from the council came round to check which model of electricity meter I had, but he turned out to be mortally allergic to floor polish and started suffocating right in front of me. Luckily my first aid training kicked in and I gave him a tracheotomy with my potato peeler and sent him on his way with a cheery wave.

The effort that they're going to to try and stop the spread amongst students is probably going to go down as one of the most futile campaigns in history.

I'm not exactly gutted that they're super high risk in several different categories and will likely die and stop needing free money and housing from the state, but you would imagine they have families who will miss them when they die from stupidity
