I'm getting used to queues, I was in one last night at the chippy! 😷
Now I'm off to get in another queue for my ASDA 'click & collect' grocery order! 😷
It's a good job the British have an inbuilt ability to queue isn't it! 😷
Hopefully I'll be able to re-join the DG queue when I return from my chores! 😷

Relieved that the level is only High, as opposed to Very High or Completely Off My Face.

Toni | 17.10.20 - 7:05 a.m. | #

In a queue? and to think,I got up especially early for this. Hmm. 😡

Jo W | 17.10.20 - 7:19 a.m. | #

The xx people in front changes if you refresh the browser, it was 3, now while I write this its 39, perhaps I could have this streamed to save me queuing.

Still Anon | 17.10.20 - 7:29 a.m. | #

When you're only 3rd in the queue, don't refresh the browser!

DavidC | 17.10.20 - 7:31 a.m. | #

Thank you for this.

Shielding with a vulnerable other half has deprived me of queueing for many months. This virtual experience is very welcome.

RosemaryT | 17.10.20 - 7:45 a.m. | #

Am sat 2 metres from my screen waiting to be allowed in.

Andy S | 17.10.20 - 8:03 a.m. | #

Where's your QR code?

DG seems to be playing a silly game for his own amusement. On a genuine internet site with a 'queue' the 'number in front of you' steadily counts down. On here you start with a new number each time. Not funny.

Joy | 17.10.20 - 8:36 a.m. | #

Really hope that it is worth the wait, and that today's post is interesting once I'm allow in to see it!

Colly | 17.10.20 - 8:42 a.m. | #

Looks like you’ve conquered New Blogger DG, nice work there!

Kevin | 17.10.20 - 8:45 a.m. | #

Very very good DG. Your best post ever.

Caz | 17.10.20 - 8:46 a.m. | #

At least I didn't have to get a permit to queue and toilets are provided.

Old guy | 17.10.20 - 8:52 a.m. | #

I don't mind a queue... I'll just get my phone out and read a blog while I wait.... DAMN!

Mike Newman | Homepage | 17.10.20 - 9:02 a.m. | #

Joy is definitely grumpy and missing the point, I fear.

Stu | 17.10.20 - 9:05 a.m. | #

Brilliant stuff, DG! You appear to be doing a community service by providing this virtual queuing experience, going by the comments! But you forgot to tell me to 'stay safe' - however will I cope?

Sam | 17.10.20 - 9:22 a.m. | #

Wrong side of the bed for Joy this morning.

Dave | 17.10.20 - 9:33 a.m. | #

Can I request a callback when I reach the front of the queue please!

Cornish Cockney | 17.10.20 - 9:36 a.m. | #

Blimey. A minimum two hour wait just to read about bus stop timetables in Bow, or a day trip to a provincial backwater, or a visit to a particularly bleak part of the Thames estuary, or an update on the latest walkway to be re-surfaced in the Olympic Park... DG is lucky we're so patient. Sigh. I'm number 38. This is going to take forever...

Arlu | 17.10.20 - 9:54 a.m. | #

I think the range is 2 to 49. But I'm not sure it's random. Happy to be corrected.

Freddie | 17.10.20 - 9:55 a.m. | #

Sorry, could the person behind me step back to 2m please?

Philip | 17.10.20 - 9:56 a.m. | #

Obviously DG doesn't want the line to read:
There are 1 people in front of you.

Freddie | 17.10.20 - 9:58 a.m. | #

6 people already? must be an outdor blog

Simon P | 17.10.20 - 10:13 a.m. | #

I'm in a tier 1 apart of the web, so I think I should probably be avoiding here

Al__S | 17.10.20 - 10:19 a.m. | #

I can’t see how many people are in the queue in front of me - the text is difficult to see from two metres away, my mask has steamed up my glasses.
What?
104??
Please can you shout louder?

Herbof | 17.10.20 - 10:21 a.m. | #

Joy smiled once, didn't like it and vowed never to do it again

Mike | 17.10.20 - 10:36 a.m. | #

Haha - what happens at Level 3.... or is that still up for negotiation?

Cau1khead | 17.10.20 - 10:45 a.m. | #

Can I be part of a support bubble with you DG? That way I can always access your website immediately :-)

Mikey C | 17.10.20 - 10:56 a.m. | #

Joy wins the prize for most in-aptly named commentator this morning.

Sarah | Homepage | 17.10.20 - 11:09 a.m. | #

It could be suggested that several people got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning other than their delightfully named target. Judge not and all that... so I'd better stop too.

Queuing aside, thanks DG, I'm reminiscing about Brucey and "Play your cards right." Guess higher or lower as you refresh over and over again. Endlessly diverting.
On a bus (with no passengers) stuck in traffic (with lots of cars) ~ is my excuse for such behaviour.

JP | 17.10.20 - 11:34 a.m. | #

I'm glad I waited in the queue, diligently not refreshing, or moving my mouse cursor.

It was also amusing that it took 31.05 minutes exactly to show me the post, which converted into seconds is 1863, which is - I think - when the Underground opened. Doubly ironic, given the content of the hidden post, but I suspect this was the point.

Good show. Blink and you'll miss it though!

R | 17.10.20 - 11:46 a.m. | #

There are people in front of you.

Half a physicist | 17.10.20 - 1:18 p.m. | #

Surprised that worked!

half | 17.10.20 - 1:19 p.m. | #

I resent being made to queue. I booked my timed access ticket days ago, I have sanitised my mitts, and my face is immaculately covered. Provide access forthwith Sir, or I shall take my business to a competitor.

Frank F | 17.10.20 - 2:14 p.m. | #

I got back from shopping hours ago but I am is still number in the queue! 😷
I think I'll have to make an online delivery order for a coffee whilst I wait. ☕

p.s. Thanks Half a physicist

Kevin Too | 17.10.20 - 3:13 p.m. | #

I am amazed all 35 pedants queued in front of me have failed to mention that the orange in the high alert image is slightly different than the orange in the field... but I’m sure that DG noticed!

Z | 17.10.20 - 3:25 p.m. | #

Phew, today's tedious content has finally brought visitor numbers down below seven.

diamond geezer | Homepage | 17.10.20 - 4:07 p.m. | #

Excellent. It pays to be busy in the morning.
