Virtually had no time off from being sick as such but a lot over the years from operations.
1993 had lymph node removed from groin took 8 weeks to recover. 1998 cruciate ligament/cartlidge flipped operation 12 weeks, 2006 shoulder op scrape back bone which was rubbing against muscle. 12 weeks.
So 32 weeks over 33 years, this lockdown is a doddle for me so far lol!
 
I’m rarely ill. Don’t get colds or flu. Once or twice a year I’ll get a niggly pain in my lower back for a day or so, then it goes. Had pleurisy once which wasn’t that nice as I was coughing up blood, but it was over Christmas so didn’t affect work. I’m fairly fit for a fat bloke. If I couldn’t go to work for weeks I’d go f**k**g nuts

Surely you have some family or friends you would have seen in person, or would of popped to the pub or restaurant? I can't see how anyone could follow the guidelines and say their lives aren't effected

Same here, the first week off was a struggle. Loving life now though! Getting up and going for a run, potter about abit, nice lunch. Walk with the family, few games, couple of hours making dinner with a few tunes on, and a beer with a film on.
Getting far to used to this, and its made me revaluate and going to work 3-4 days a week when we're allowed to go back to work

Going for a run AND then going for a walk with the family. You f**k**g hypocrite, obey the rules, one form of exercise a day. People like you will cause the end of the world.
Anyway why did you change your name on here Robbo?

Very rural where I live, don't see another person on our walks. I take it the Robbo thing is an inside joke on here?
