Has anyone noticed the child step Priti Patel has to use at the Downing Street briefings so that she can see over the top of the lectern?

That's just caused another blood vessel in JHC's neck to go pop.:D

Williamson was fireplace salesman of the year two years in a row I can't see why anyone would think he is not eminently suitable to be the education secretary;)

This latest survey appears to show Covid cases may have stopped falling and could be leveling off or even a slight rise, what do people think? Covid cases may have stopped falling, major English survey shows | Coronavirus | The Guardian

I have spoken to family members about this very thing about a week ago. I was under the assumption that giving injections would be fairly straight forward here are a couple of things they told me. 1. For many health staff even the ones that administer the flu injection, having to draw up the...

The Guardian now have the Israeli/Pfizer story. Single Covid vaccine dose in Israel 'less effective than we thought' | Israel | The Guardian

Evan Davis discussed it briefly on the Radio 4 PM prog this evening. He said there had been a leak from a briefing given to the Israeli cabinet about infection rates of people who had been given just the one jab so far of the Pfizer vaccine. The data appeared to be showing an effective rate...

That would be really awful for the people of Nome, I quite enjoy watching the Gold Divers series on the Discovery channel, I wouldn't want Trump sticking his nose into the Gold mining business :D

I don't know oyster, I didn't catch all of what he was saying. I came in when he was part way through it. I assume he must have been replying to someone asking a question about it. I have had a very quick look on line to see if I can find anything but so nothing to report. You seem to be...

There is a Doctor on LBC radio right now doing a Q & A session. I only caught a bit of what he was saying, but he mentioned that there is some slightly disturbing data coming out of Israel with regards to the Pfizer vaccine. As I mentioned a while back Israel have done a deal with Pfizer that...

I have heard a couple of people on radio phone ins during the first lock down say they were given exactly the same advice from 111.

I don't think they have 21 million doses sat in freezers waiting to go, I think they have promises from the manufacturers that add up to 21 million doses which will be delivered over the next few weeks (fingers crossed). Mark Drakeford the Welsh First Minister let the cat out of the bag...

Yes I think it might even be higher than 90%. The last thing I read about the AZ trials in this country was that no one ended up in hospital who had been given the vaccine. Some people still caught the virus, but the vaccine mitigated the effects of the virus to such an extent that no body...

I remember reading a SF book many years ago (can't remember the title or much of the details) but what I do remember was that earth could no longer put satellites into space because of all the space junk up there. I think Elon Musk has plans to put hundreds (perhaps thousands) of mini...

I probably went to about 4 different super markets during the first lockdown and they were all like Oyster described them. I don't know if perhaps somewhere like Cardiff the situation would be similar to you flecc, but in the smaller towns and cities in Wales I think Oyster is correct with what...

I agree but I doubt the Government will see it that way. They will be thinking about the optics, imagine all these large vaccine centers with no supplies, all the staff just hanging around looking bored. BTW does anybody know how much supply we have in the country for say the next few days or...

Boris is usually fairly poor at PMQs but I thought he was worse than usual today. He looked very tired to me, I wonder if he is suffering from long Covid. The Speaker had to tell him off at least twice. Credit where credit is due though, we do seem (at the moment at least) to be doing better...

Just when you thought it could not get any worse, there is a chance we might be getting another Beast from the East next week. I first heard about this around a fortnight ago but at that time they thought it was fairly unlikely, it now seems the chances of it have increased a fair bit. UK...

I've heard Woosh is considering asking her if she would like to demonstrate some of his models once bike shows get back underway ;) Girl Biker Performs - You Must See - YouTube

I posted a while back that I had seen a wind powered hydro foil surf board off the coast of my village. I wonder how long it will be before I see one of these flying along at 25 mph? Lift eFoil Review - Electric Flying Surfboard! - YouTube
