    I suffer from Agoraphobia and have been self-isolating for years.  The Prime Minister actually telling me not to go outside is quite amusing.

    P.S. I'm not trying to be a dick or find Coronavirus amusing, just my own personal situation.

    Think I'll be getting back into tabletop photography as the opportunities for my usual wildlife stuff are going to be restricted. If there's enough interest here we could have a weekly indoor photography competition; different theme and a virtual prize each week. What do you reckon?

    I'll get the ball rolling here with the first theme. The female body form in all it's glory.

    Good luck all. I'll nominate myself for judge.

    Go on then judge, marks out of 10.

    My old man suffered with that. He had counselling for it and got better before I was old enough to realise/understand. 

    I always used to wonder why he never used to take me to Charlton, I started going with my uncle and cousins.

    I have unverified answers to 18 of the 20 quiz questions which I'll list a bit later.  The real sticking points are 10 and 13.  I was hoping the CL collective could supply me the solutions that would give me bragging rights over my brother ... who also hasn't got the answers. Sorry  :/
    13 is Sunday Bloody Sunday.

    Yeah @Red_Pete_in_Dubai put me wise to that on the last page. 

    I admit this was a mistake to put out without definitive answers. In hindsight I think I was / am suffering a severe dose of cabin fever.  Just wanted to break the doldrums and bring a little cheer.  Now look what's happened.  I've added to the general anxiety and brought shame upon myself.  Red faced Raith is now gonna crawl under a stone and hide a while.

    Anyone play board games online against mates etc?

    If so, any recommendations on decent apps or sites?

    Nothing too complicated, thinking chess, monopoly etc maybe, but a good selection would be decent too.
