I’d never heard the expression wank bank until I was at a dog show having a lovely conversation with Clare Balding. She took a couple of photos of me n my dog to post on channel 4s Crufts coverage which I didn’t think anything of until a ‘kind’ stranger swooped past while the photos were being taken (I assumed to photo bomb) and leaned in frighteningly close to say directly in my ear “that’s going straight in her wank bank.” Still makes me laugh now

Umm not surprising so I’ll rephrase. “I fucking love the slightly faulty NHS” But it’s not different from any system that’s managed by people, they’re subject to faults.

Oh sweetheart bless your cottons, you wouldn’t last 5 4 3 2 1 30 seconds.

Just got second jab invite and it coincides with when I’ll be passing where I live on Sunday My 19year old has just got an invite for his first jab too. Theyre knocking this shit right out the park, I fucking love the NHS.

Being a peaceable person with a different point of view can be a dodgy place to be but changing yourself to please the lowest common denominator is no wise move. Not everyone’s born to lick windows. Speaking of which my window cleaners not been since covid kicked off so if youre down this way...

Preferably with video but pics will do

Ive looked at them. Let me know how you get on with them

Last year the honest raw horror of hearing my husband had handed the chainsaw to my 18yr old son when they where 6 metres in the air hanging out of a cherry picker to lop some branches still makes my stomach churn Then this year my niece was also handed a chainsaw to chop up some logs. His leg still works but he’s lucky its stayed attached!

No idea. He works for the NHS where everything is serious all the damn time, it has to be. Its not until you leave the proverbial weights lifted and you realise you’ve had to take life very seriously for a very long time. But he definitely has a lighter more jovial side. One of life’s good guys, unfortunately that makes him a troll target.

I like James. He’s just a different generation and outlook from the usual demographic on mobike forums... which obviously makes him a snowflake He probably wisely joined up by a different username to shake six off his tail Tis interesting watching the generational differences when theres no barriers like on a forum. Younger folk just look at older generations lets say ‘oddities’ and just turn their back on them. Some make an attempt to offer a different point of view but invariably they end up voting with their feet. I could go into more detail but its not exactly a barrel of laughs!

Hmm more to do with monaaay and the psychos not giving a crap who carks it but I think we are straying away from covid and venturing onto the no list of politics on this one.

At the moment you need two the same to reach full immunity (for the current variants) but research is being conducted on a mix and match approach. Astrazenica are honouring their contracts they are just not continuing on after this stint (too much bullshit damage to their company). After one course is completed the next time you can switch to another brand with no problems at all. Its quite usual for medical providers to get their vaccines from the cheapest source so they switch all the time

On the good news front though yearly deaths in the UK are down 7.5% which is a 5 year low!
-
There are no firm (or most likely revealed) plans yet but some governments have already placed orders for the next lot so its likely. Thats how its known Astrazenica have said no more. And as soon as they said they were bowing out the negative press about the Oxford Astrazenica stopped... big pharma are big time arseholes. Unless theres a yearly shot like with flu then its not possible to stop people dying from it. It mutates the same way as the cold virus so the immune system will require updates in the form of a jab to know what its enemy looks like.
-
All indications are that it is currently effective against preventing hospitalisation and death but not so effective at stopping you getting symptoms They’ve already figured out the necessary tweaks to the jab to cover it and the other new variants so that kind of good news.. apart from the it will mean as we get further away from the original variants booster jabs will be needed. Australia has operated a strict closed border policy including a $50,000 fine and up to 5 years in prison if you come in from India which has since Christmas resulted them only having 980 Covid deaths!

@Grasshopper's Ride hope things are back on the up now. A new chainsaw ay... bet nothing dares get in your way next week!

Holy f*ck how dont I know about this item till now?!?! Is it a boy thing that girls don’t need to know about? Or has it only just been invented? Or have I just fallen into an alternate universe where there’s equipment to do the job you want to do?! -
Hmm well all in all it’s so far been a successful British spring. Can’t wait to leave next Friday, it’s yet another British spring triumph.

Blimey Sir Fallsalot thats great Thankyou very much. This has been a learning curve! I’m feeling a lot less fearful of bike electrics now looking at the wiring diagrams (which is something I’d definitely normally avoid), it’s demystified things a lot -

Yer that was my thought that there’s too many wires on the first Urr Would it be simpler to just wire it to the ignition switch?
