    The data CAN change. What if there were thousands of people who choose not to respond? , because they felt the effect was minor, or they were very busy or they thought they were alone.. The niggle becomes important, then it becomes identified. Remember back 15months ago, when you were berating...

    No!. I am listening not to the politicians, but to the Irish DCMO Dr. Glynn , and he made his decision on the advice of the Immunization Council . Is it an abundance of caution ?... Hopefully yes. Is it rational ?. Extremely so. You have a problem, you stop,if you can, you assess the risk...

    Look at that telegraph images a little more closely, and not the text.... If each case 50% of the stock of the AZ has already been injected .. therefore it is being used. Prudently. They need to have the second dose available available on time.

    If it were water, or deep ground ,it would be 4.5 but would have cost 4times as much. Putting in a ground source one only makes sense on a new build, when the earth movers on on site. All the new builds and estates locally are using air source ..and we were the very early adopters, and the...

    Yes but an electric resistance heater in exactly the same form, is exactly as effective and efficient and as speedy, and is much cheaper.. its just iron wire in a kapon sleeve. Using semiconductor derived microwaves , is a hell of a lot more difficult than heating a bit of wire.

    Nonsense.. . Seriously nonsense. You still need water and electricity..and whereas a simple balanced flue gas geyser will do 22kw and a non ventilated one 11KW, standard electrical cable is only good for 5KW . You need a special spur beyond that. Whereas a heat pump with small storage will...

    Again ..we find agreement, . I was furious with that Ryanair ad. . I would possibly go a little further and call it criminally irresponsible. Likewise cancel Cheltenham.

    That surely is a solution in search of a problem.... It produces exactly 1watt of heat per watt of electrical power consumption,.. identical to that of a resistance ribbon or tape . The difference with a heat pump is it can produce 4or 5 watts of heat for each electrical watt.

    You are back at your half truths again. Lets say the EMA today gives AZ a clean bill of health, well it allows stocks to be built up. Remember there is not enough in mainland Europe to allow mass vaccination at present. Not a drop of EU AZ vaccine has yet been wasted,it is hopefully sitting in...

    You think that's bad?. The McDonald s adds on UTV have Belfast accents, and on RTE , best Dublin... I they had to use a Northern one, they could have used the singsong Derry one.

    There are 3 vaccines in the mix... 1. Pfizers 2. AZ made in UK of which 11 M jabs given 3. AZ made in EU of which 5 or 6 M jabs given.

    There may have been no deaths in the UK from blood clots , but there were elsewhere. Again whether there is a causal relationship is undetermined at present..
