Where do you think you got it Dunc? You were still heading into work weren't you?

Yeah, from my boss probably. He was sick a few days before me and tested positive yesterday as well. Dunno where he got it though, he's not the kind of guy to break the rules.

I tried to be as careful as possible at work, but it obviously wasn't enough.

It's for this very reason that our London office & factory have had a permanent face mask rule since this kicked off, along with one way systems, split shifts an extra canteen, temp checks, etc.... Thus far we have had no issues with anyone catching it at work. Also making sure the staff were aware that their money will always be paid regardless of how many time they might have to self isolate. That has stopped anyone bring it in from fear of not being paid.

It sounds even worse down South now. Spreading like wildfire! I'm in no hurry to go back for a while and am very glad I live in a nice rural area.

GWS Duncs!!

I wouldn't celebrate too soon, we hadn't had any staff cases until last week.

It's a good banana skin!!

Not really. You whack your head on stuff quite a lot. Aircraft seats are never entirely comfortable.

But you can reach high shelves in the supermarket. It's not a brilliant trade off.

Not just in the supermarket though! But yes, if you stand much above 180ish cm then things tend to get a bit more difficult.

193cm

I'm with you (192cm).

Part of the one-nine-two club as well.
Haven’t found a car I don’t fit in yet!

[dinny_g]

175cm...

Haven’t found a supermarket shelf I can’t reach yet...

[Simon]

190.5cm. Legs are long though, that's what messes up getting comfortable in cars.

[DeskJockey]

So, based on a sample size of five, I can conclude that OV9 forum members are significantly taller than the UK male average, with @dinny_g being the shortest right on the national male average.

This puts the forum average in the top third percentile for height in the country. Not bad! I'm sure nobody could think of anything problematic with my conclusion, so I'll just let that stand.

[Swervin_Mervin]

5' 11" whatever that is in cm (I just can't "get" height or weight in metric)

Stop ruining my conclusion with more data. That's not how science works!

I had a medical last year. The nurse took my height and started writing it down.

“So how tall am I?”
“Between 5’11” and 6’”
“Well which one?”
“You’re in between”
“Can I say I’m 6’?”
“If you like”.

[Marv]

175cm...

Haven’t found a supermarket shelf I can’t reach yet...

170cm...

I stand on the bottom shelf, to reach the top shelf.

Short Arse...

5' 11" whatever that is in cm (I just can't "get" height or weight in metric)

All the coolest people are.

Duncs, please buy a CSL just incase, it’ll make me look less senile.

Dave!

I’m also 193cm, just to tip the balance back in the right direction.

[McSwede]

185cm IIRC

[Rich B]

No one cares how tall you are...!

[Gwaredd]

Jobbo will drag the average down quite considerably

@Explosive Newt Symptom update for you to interpet:

Most of yesterday I've been really hot and feverish, but it's weird because I hadn't really been sweating, my skin was dry and hot. Then overnight in my sleep I suddenly sweated a lot. Now I actually feel a lot better, temperatures feel normal and I just have a few aches (like eye sockets, which have been sore throughout really). What's my body up to?

Duncs - you have aids. The bad sort.
