HEADPHONES

As an NHS dentist, all dentistry was banned last Tuesday. We were told only to give advice over the phone and hand out antibiotics and pain killers on prescription as our PPE isn't up to Covid-19 standards. A few practices in each city will be equipped to give emergency dental care only. The rest of us have started to receive redeployment details. 12 from our practice will be part of "comfort/hygiene" teams. As you can see they are expecting severe staff shortages with a team of 3 looking after groups of 30 patients. Each team will have 1 nurse and 2 dental staff. So keep spreading the word to everyone to do their bit to stay safe or it could be ME looking after you in hospital Hopefully I get better PPE than Mr Bean above

My parents live in London and are both elderly, with one having diabetes.They have been staying at home for weeks now.My brothers have been doing the shopping for them and leaving it on the doorstep.But at first they would simply take it in and then into the fridge/cupboard etc.Now got them wiping packaging down with Bleach/Milton at the recommended dilutions and treating the bags as contaminated etc.Just thought I'd share this especially for those with elderly/frail relatives as this is a weak link in the chain so to speak

That's a cool living room setup there. My kids have turned mine into a bomb site

I have been using a Worx Hydroshot for a couple of years now. You can add a prewash soak with the soap bottle accessory. Jet rinse. Do your 2BM wash and then rinse off wheels and body. I use 2 buckets to rinse if I'm doing wheels as well. Plus my 2 buckets for the standard 2BM wash. A single fully charged battery copes with this fine. So in total I lug out 4 buckets and the Worx to the driveway.

The London Underground is a big problem. Carriages are packed like gas chambers

Ever seen budgies displaying love to their reflection? Some bird has fell in love with my zed wing mirror!

I found this play on a scaremongering message hilarious Just a heads up The Ministry of Defence have been told to be on standby for complete UK lockdown as of Sunday evening at 6pm... No one is to leave their home's unless you work in Front Line Retail or the NHS... I heard this directly from my neighbour Trigger who is best friends with a guy called Boycey. Boycey knows a guy named Del who drinks down the pub with his uncle Albert. Albert was in the Navy during the war so knows his stuff. Please pass it on. Can't beat Only Fools and Horses.

Ahhhhh......the infamous spigot ring. Glad it was a simple solution. Nothing worse than worrying something expensive needs doing

Welcome to the OC 1 owner zeds with full service history must be pretty rare. You must be over the moon to find such a good example. Looking forward to hear of your future exploits with your new chariot

Apparently American college kids aren't going to let Corona spoil their Spring break. It seems things aren't so different over in Brighton!!!! https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/18324334.hundreds-flock-brighton-beach-despite-coronavirus-distancing-measures/#gallery4

Looking good. Shame they don't do one for the 350z

Don't laugh. My 5 litre container of shampoo is only 1/3 full and I'm more worried about running out of that than my last pack of pasta.

Good to see the problem is solved. As our cars get older, the collective knowledge of our members will be invaluable

The rear hubs have a screw fitted which prevents the standard front wheels being put on the rear hubs by accident. It is possible you are trying to fit the front wheels on the rear. This screw can be removed for aftermarket wheels and a small grommet placed. I've done that. Haven't got a pic of the screw but one of the grommet showing where the offending screw is

There's gonna be alot of shiny zeds on drives these coming months with less driving and no going out, what's a man to do except add more layers of hydrophobic products on his car

Just finished a night wash. Been feeling a bit down this week with all this Corona malarkey. Feeling anxious at work. Feeling even worse when going to the supermarket. So in a time where everything is out of control it's nice to put on the headphones and clean the car. But now I'm worried I've ONLY got 1/3 shampoo left of my 5 litres Weather forecast is good for the next couple days. Looking forward to driving to work in a shiny Zed

England only received that TODAY. But I've been following those guidelines off my Scottish and Irish colleagues since Monday anyway as it makes sense. Still running at 80% in our practice as it's a very high needs socially deprived area and EVERYONE'S an emergency with toothache. Too many people don't do what MAKES SENSE just because the government hasn't put it in black and white. I know people who won't go to the office coz they've been told to work from home, but gladly still go to the gym in an enclosed space breathing in recirculating air full of aerosol droplets from members puffing and panting away! The day it's banned, they'll all agree it makes sense and wouldn't have it any other way.

NHS dentists were told to continue treating patients with cold and flu symptoms, as long as they hadn't travelled to or been in contact with travellers to at risk countries. I had a guy today with toothache. I could see he had cold and flu symptoms so after treatment asked if he was still going back to work reminding him of the guidelines to self isolate JUST IN CASE. His reply was "I should be ok don't worry, it's just a NORMAL COLD not Corona virus" I was shocked by his blasé attitude and said "How do you know you haven't got Corona virus?......how do you know that I don't have Corona virus?......you don't! You don't want the hassle of self isolating. I don't want to be working in people's gobs when they're full of a cold during these times But we've all got to do what we can to look after one another. NOW GO HOME AND SELF ISOLATE!" Got home today and got a new guidelines email from the NHS. Now they are telling us NOT to see people with symptoms of Coronavirus and that they MAKING PLANS on where these people should go with toothache. Not mandatory.... just a guideline. So are we meant to turn poor people away at the door suffering with toothache and say we'll ring you when the NHS have decided where to send you? Most will probably just have the common cold but it's still stressful treating them especially as I'm just inches from their mouths at time. Totally understand coming to the practice with toothache with cold symptoms. Just wait in the car in the car park as recommended. I'll call you in when it's your turn. But don't go back to work FFS! Rant over.

I've just been asking around and Donovan has been found safe. Mods please lock or remove this now and many thanks to anyone who took time to read it.

That's some pretty good info in that interview. Sounds non biased and down to earth.

That's proper low

Until 29/3/20 Costco are doing 4 litres of Edge for £19.18 including vat.

Can't quite afford new. Got any "slightly used/soiled" ones going for less?

Great to see this zed staying in the OC under the care of an enthusiast. Looking box fresh especially with the headlights done and LMGT4S on. Such a simple but timeless wheel design. Still don't understand why the Omori factory only does limited runs of these as each time a run is produced they're sold out in a flash. Definitely a demand for these rims worldwide. I've only ever cleaned my bay with cloths being apprehensive about hosing or jetting. Age old question. What did you cover to rinse the zed bay off with your pressure washer. I've only got a weak portable Worx pressure washer so it'd be a fraction of the power of a proper one, but being a bay rinse virgin I'm still a bit nervous
