I was able to buy 6 bottles of beer.
That doesn't sound very Italian to me. I know there are noodles made from eggs but I've always thought pasta (=Italian) means no eggs.It’s made with eggs and takes about a minute to cook. Only lasts a few days on the shelf though, and is therefore more expensive
I don't know what's going on here but I know the difference between a cow and a squid thing.Squid ink maybe
This is why I go to the little independent shops.Just seen on Twitter the queues at Asda and Tesco. Think it’s time Military was called to these places.

It's putting people around them at risk as well though. That's certainly my issue with people carrying on as normal right now.Second day WFH today. I live in a small town so around 6pm yesterday I went for a hike for some fresh air around the hills then out of curiosity I called in Tesco and was pleasantly surprised. Few empty shelves but not much and all calm in terms of those shopping.
Lots of old people drinking in the local Wetherspoons too. If they want to take the risk, go for it I suppose. My folks are social distancing for the foreseeable.
Denmark had a quite low mortality rate last time I checked as well. (Although I think that climb in the coming weeks)The fact that the Czech Republic, which has the highest beer consumption in the world, has no deaths yet would support that theory.
Asda said from 6 to 9am it was supposed to be elderly and said others should stay away if they can. Yet these people came and staff got overwhelmed. It’s hard to control this amount of people. Supermarket security can’t do shit. They even dare touch someone they could lose their job. Time for military and police to be in these shops. Limited people in shop and one of each item for every person.You're right it's time for intervention, supermarkets have failed to stop this nonsense now the more stringent measures are required.
Yeah when I meant fail, as in they don't have the resource/power to stop these morons. I agree the army/police should be brought in or we will face food shortages.Asda said from 6 to 9am it was supposed to be elderly and said others should stay away if they can.

They call it egg pasta in the UK, you'll find it on the chilled counters in the shops. It's more expensive than dried pasta and obviously has a shorter shelf life. It's not pre-cooked, you cook it in the usual way. Has more calories than the other kind, too.I've just checked my pantry. All pasta I have (Buitoni, Barilla) is 100% made from grains. What the hell is "fresh" pasta? Pre-cooked presumably?
Tortellini and Ravioli I think usually contain eggsThat doesn't sound very Italian to me. I know there are noodles made from eggs but I've always thought pasta (=Italian) means no eggs.
Absolutely. We haven't panic stocked in our house and menu plan very precisely each week to avoid food waste so are getting to the end of our weekly stock. We tried to order click and collect last night and cannot have any slot until April. People, en masse, are so bloody narrow minded sometimes.You're right it's time for intervention, supermarkets have failed to stop this nonsense now the more stringent measures are required.

I'm so pissed at my Dad. He was at the horse racing on saturday, went out to the rugby on sunday and then on to the pub, then was at the pub again after work last night. He works in a care home with very old, high risk, vulnerable people. He's 62 as well, and not in the best of health either so he's also high risk. He's a smart guy, I thought he'd know and act better, but he just thinks it's "funny". He's always taken his job very seriously and gone above and beyond for the people he works with, but I just don't know what he's thinking right now. Maddening.
Lots isn’t though. Even good restaurants will use high quality dried pasta. It all depends on which pasta you want and the rest of the dish. Some traditionally employ a certain dried variety (which typically use no eggs, but some do), others use a fresh pasta (which will likely have a fair amount of egg).Good pasta is absolutely packed with eggs

They can't exactly say just 1 pack of pasta lad or i'll shoot you?
The shops just need to be stronger and set limitations. Eventually this'll die down anyway, how many people can stock up much more?
That's from March 3 though?San Francisco is ahead of the curve and showing you the outcome (its called Prop 47, right?):

What legal grounds can they arrest you for shopping? unless Martial Law is declared then they can't do anything.they can arrest you and detain you.
Do you fancy that or do you prefer to behave reasonably?

Was saying the same to my wife last night as she was telling me off for being lazy. So many people don't think straight out of their natural functioning.I can almost guarantee that when this has all settled down, lots of people will have cupboards full of stuff they bought, didn't really want and won't use. And it'll get thrown away.
The amount of food waste that will come from this is sickening.I can almost guarantee that when this has all settled down, lots of people will have cupboards full of stuff they bought, didn't really want and won't use. And it'll get thrown away.
Yep, it's sickening. He even posted it on Facebook that he was at the pub last night, and all his boomer mates were commenting shite like "good on ya mate!". ffs.WTF he may have killed dozens of people with his actions.
Yeah but you're a sensible person Penna, sadly a large part of the populace is not.Those shopping queues are absolutely ridiculous. People should be made to shop at whichever store is closest to their home address, as long as it sells essentials. You don't need to go to a huge superstore with massive choice at times like these. You adjust your lifestyle, which includes your eating habits.
It'll help to show the seriousness of the situation. The military won't shoot you but they'll have the powers to detain and arrest or or remove you from the supermarket.WTF is the military going to do, apart from cause more fear and panic

Well he can instigate 'military rule' without actually declaring it, the Corona bill, being the first step. But if looting, violent crime and public disorder becomes pandemic (remember the student riots), he may have no choice. My sister who is a doctor, and caring for Convid19 patients in ICU said to me last night that she is more fearful of the 'mental illness' this crisis is causing, driven mainly by people being addicted to social media, and that in the long term that will be more ruinous to our culture than the tragic and inevitable deaths that will occur.All the talk of military lockdown is misplaced I think.
We have just 135,000 police after tory cuts and at 95,000 active personnel, a smaller military than at any time since waterloo for the same reason.
Yes, they are armed, but there are two issues with that. First, asking your armed forces to fire on your own civilians is pretty much game over for a society. And if they ever did, it changes the rules forever. There are 65 million people, guns or not they are not winning that fight.
Johnson will, if he is sensible, avoid testing any of that at all costs.
Won't be going to Italy any time soon sadly.My god you're desperate for that free room in Italy, aren't ya? arselicking cnut.
I spent three months listening to idiots on Facebook saying Labour couldn’t do math, people didn’t need free broadband and that shelves would be empty under Jezza.I reckon Corbyn is breathing a sigh of relief that he isn't having to run the country right now. There are no winning solutions.
