Apparently some people are resorting to using other materials instead of toilet paper and these could begin to cause major problems by blocking sewer pipes. ::) 
Reality always wins in the end.

I've heard Bum Guns are popular, but apparently they have sold out from most hardware stores!

Apparently the supposedly "flushable wet wipes" are actually not flushable. Major problems ahead if the toilet paper hoarders don't calm the heck down

There's never been an end to stupid.  We just happen to have a virulent strain of it

Holy mackerel K, we're just down the road from you. And, likewise, been renovating a place on the Island for the past 2 years... hoping to finish by the end of April!

And, Spotted One, Franganistan is where I ran riot as a kid. I used to see Dermie at the Foot Street shops from time to time.

Maybe the 3 of us could watch a game or 3 at the Tooradin Sports Club...roughly half way - I could pick you up on the way through, K? And catch a NBs game at Franger and Cranbourne?

Where on the island? We were originally looking there, but got priced out while we dragged our feet.

I've basically finished......finally. Got a couple weekends of packing up, cleaning up and renting out the joint. I'm hoping Easter weekend is the last i have to be down that way for a while. It is about 2 hours away from home. So once i'm done, i will have my weekends back and won't have any need to venture down that way for a long time.....sick of the drive!

I know the feeling... getting to know the Bass Hwy far too well!

We were lucky re price. Although the Island wasn't too affected by the downturn, we stumbled across a place in Cowes... 8 min walk to the beach and less to the IGA, Mitre 10 and other shops/servos. Worst house in the street... shocker from the street and I reckon most folks didn't even go inside! Not a typical holiday house as was architect designed so bones were good/huge kitchen/open plan - I had to do the lot from top to bottom, inside and out. Had to get electricians and plumbers from time to time for legal work, other than that I ruined my back doing most myself -painting/building fences/gates bla bla bla.

Maybe one w/e before Easter we'll all catch up at Tooradin to watch a game at the pub. By then we might have some bog rolls on the Island! None to be found... just as well Mrs Baggers is interstate for a couple of weeks! We intend to move later in the year after flogging this place.

I brought my first pack of TP yesterday in 30 years at the Woolies in Portland. I couldn't go past them and felt like a dick at the checkout. There was a well dressed seemingly intelligent middle aged woman in front with one of the feircest expressions I've ever seen. All because she wanted an extra pack. She gave the poor checkout girl heaps and held up the queue and my pack for ages. I think she must've been holding one in by the look of her. The friendly IGA from now on for me.

Reckon we might get a cutback season, I'd expect some form of mild lockdown measures to be employed by the state government, power distribution companies are running skeleton crews now so they dont get everyone sick at once and even temperature testing the distribution switch staff who are a small but highly trained group, without them there would be no power.
We have a wedding to attend in three weeks with a group of about 200 expected, the reception management have advised the
bride and groom they might have to make other arrangements.

Bunnings sell commercial Toilet paper in large rolls, buy a box of that and you will be covered for 6-12 months.
Supplies dwindling however and no re-stocking..

If sporting events are being closed then surely public transport and schools which are the worst places for spreading viruses should be too.

Going to happen with schools IMO, my son is a primary teacher and its already an item for discussion with home based curriculum on the drawing board.

Just had a good chat with my local pharmacist, who usually stocks bog rolls, and he reckons that there is plenty of profiteering going on with the dunny rolls through e-Bay etc AND being sent to China ...a la kiddies formula.
