    “””””””” Perhaps banning the unvaccinated from big crowded events, public transport and shopping centres would be the more germ-wise logical, “”””””

     

    Come on that is too logical. These tyrants have not finished. I suspect we will all  be surprised at the punishments waiting the unvaccinated.

     

    But i surrendered. I am getting the AZ in a weeks time. Apparently it is a more normal vaccine using traditional methods for vaccine production. So hopefully safe.

    Metoo.

    Sancho is endearing in a faux (Lowe) Mexican kinda way.

    Egg is just a grumpy old ovum.

    I”m a bit suspicious about ‘caravan’ though

    Americans call them trailers

    I’ve stayed in my friends one, in a trailer park.

    Double wide.

    She wanted me to buy the single wide next door to have as a holiday house. 11k plus property taxes.

    I declined.

    Quite entertaining all this sock guessing.

    And seeing Thor casting around trying to figure out who is who (as if it matters).

    From the back-channel chatter on Discord it seems he is getting it wrong 93.1% of the time.

    Which is quite a lot of wrongology for Thor the Infallible.

    Double wide would be about a 20 square house. Set on an acre of emerald green grass with a magnificent oak, it wasn’t too shabby.

     

    Some trailer parks i saw in small town North Carolina were as bad as in the movies.

    Bare, faded  dilapidated.

    Graeme – how can you argue against photons being waves and particles – haven’t you seen the double slit experiment – we even did it in high school.

     

    Interested to hear you why this is wrong, and if you can math it out at all.

     

    So what ARE they? Particles or waves?

    I’m still hoping it will sort of “blow over” and I won’t be forced into it.   I resent having to worry about side-effects,  time off work and financial issues and not being able to carry out personal responsibilities things I do for some family etc,  and just being out of action, let alone any long term issues with the vax.

    Why is this a zinger? All I have said over the years in this sphere is a few things about my life as anecdote or otherwise. Why, for example, do a few of you use people’s reflections on life against them? Are you such a shit that you feel the need to use human nature against a person?

    I sort of agree with that. But i want to visit my elderly mother and taking the jab may help.

    What worries me is that if i give in now i may give in to some totally immoral law.

    I think the jab is OK but what comes next- well who knows??
