There is no British Grand National.

Who are people backing? Any Second Now Good man what did you get him at Not sure. My daughter put the bet on for me - we only do it to have a horse to follow - so only a very small wager. I was the only one, of the eight of us, to get a place - but we had 3 that finished. I reckon Any Second Now wo...

I fancy Sale for this one. Wasps should have beaten Rochelle and Sales are in much better form.

How are Exeter going this year?

2nd in the Premiership but hadn't been playing that well - albeit it's hard to tell during the 6N because teams get affected by call ups.

And now the EU is trying to discredit the J&J vaccine. They will probably end up with Lemsip and a wank. Are we really going to play this game again? After the actions of health bodies around the world, including the UK, have done the same as the EU countries (not EU, the EMA actually advised again...

Beast beaches are local and empty of other people, other people spoil beaches. So most anything east of the Ohiwa harbour entrance. I don't really want a deserted beach - like to see some people there enjoying themselves. Don't want it crowded, obviously. It's one of the things I like about Mudefor...

RIP

But now we have to put up with press and hangers on, all fawning over the Royal Family for an age - telling us what a great chap he was, ad nauseum. There'll be countless programmes showing us the story of his life blah blah blah. It's all very tedious.

Oh, and why on earth would you trust the current regime on the scope of vaccine passports etc. They have lied at every stage of lock down and release from lockdown. An example would be the Euro’s this year, which its been announced will only be played in front of 25% crowds even though they’re post...

Tested negative a couple of weeks ago - unsurprisngly since I've been shielding for most of the last year. Had an absolute stinker of a cold just before Covid 1st took off in the UK but haven't haven't even had a sniffle since then. Had my 1st shot of AZ about 2 months ago and I'm no longer on Immun...

How do you know wearing masks hasn't reduced transmission? You could only conclude that with the same conditions being examined with and without which obviously isn't possible. As for masks stopping aerosols. No one has said they stop them. They've said they're reduced in distance traveled and ther...

Again, if you are going to overcrowded and polluted beaches you are going to the wrong places. I'm glad we're agreed that the Mediterranean is generally not a great place to find a nice beach. I wouldn't exactly kick beaches in Corsica or Sardinia out of Med ;) I actually prefer Rocky beaches - a n...

I linked why yellow fever is treated as it is. As I said the comparisons with covid are extremely facile. I’ve of course not said “open everything” etc, but you have to make a dishonest characterisation to avoid any actual non facile thoughts regarding this. How would you, Bimbo, recommend to move ...

I'm sorry, why are we debating this. You get vaccinated, or you get lined up against the wall and shot. “I think that pregnant women should be shot” At least of course you’ve got to the end bit of the Nuremberg code. You think that pregnant women should be shot????!!!??? None of the vaccines are te...

DAC, I assume your child is healthy. He’s also not on the pill, so clots aren’t likely. What do you think the vaccine will actually do to him? Autism? Death? Why do you want my son injected with a vaccination? I don’t. But it’s looking increasingly likely that the only way out of this pandemic is g...

Which vaccine? And, no it should not be mandatory. And it shouldn’t be coerced by restrictions either, but that looks possible. No, it shouldn't. Restrictions are almost inevitable - e.g. for travel overseas. You still have a choice though. Overseas travel - fair enough, I guess. I think there's so...

Unfortunately, responding to the loons does seem to just encourage them to carry on stinking up the thread.

We could always make having the vaccine mandatory for adults, unless you have a medical condition. That way we won't need the passports. Which vaccine? And, no it should not be mandatory.

Don't use fear on me. There are numerous reasons for the deaths in Brazil and they should not be used as a justification for injecting my 7 year old. Sounds like you're living in fear already, even whilst living in denial about the dangers of Covid. The only fear I have is from people who think my ...

We've had the conversation before about life expectancies. Some people were robbed of a whole 6 months of life in the UK. I'm not sure and will need to check but the covid death rate age in Scotland was actually HIGHER than the normal expected death rate. Tell that to the families of the 4000+ peop...

I can imagine, however, it wouldn't be as bad for me as not being able to potentially go to a shop unless I've had a state sponsored product injected into my arm for a virus that doesn't seem to be that dangerous at all. Not to mention them wanting to do it to my 7 year old son. Yeah, not that dang...

I'd like to hope so.

Majority view might favour capital punishment for murder, castration for rapists, hanging for traitors, abolition of religious slaughter, and vaccine passports. And Brexit...............

Because what you've described wouldn't be out of place in 1950's USSR. What I suggested was very much a liberal right-wing ideology.

A different question. If our phones are going to hold the Vaccine Passport. What happens if a phone is lost or stolen and access is gained to that phone.

How did it burn down, vandalism? Yep - see the Daily Mail link on my previous post. Idiots got caught because they fell asleep in one of the huts and didn't wake up until people had arrived to investigate. The amount of damage they did ran into £ many hundreds of thousands.

Mudeford Sand Spit is very nice. Doesn't get too crowded because, to get there, you either have to get a Ferry or walk about a mile - no cars allowed. My sister has/had/will have a Beach hut there - cost about the price of a decent 3 bed house. It's more of a cabin than a hut and, whilst pretty smal...

I’m most interested in immunity status. Is there any evidence that you only get Covid once? Like chicken pox? No. Immunity seems to vane after a while and some people already have had COVID twice.
