Seems EU doesn't think the deal is such a great one for EU. Rumours are they are going to refuse to endorse it.. One of their number (quoted from Squid news, which for some odd reason my phone won't copy link of??) "We will wake up one morning and EU will be gone". Can't disagree with that.

It is great news. They are planning on administering single dose to as many as possible. (at risk, over 55s etc), delaying 2nd to 12 weeks..... Argument being 2nd gives long term protection, first after 18 days (I believe) Think we already have 100 million doses of this one..?? Suspect they are...

Not sure what it was supposed to DO. Know less about German politics than ours.. She, s a damned good speaker though and strongly suspect her words will be prophetic,but irrelevant to us now. We ain't propping up Club Med countries anymore. There is a series of such videos on YouTube, have a...

Yep, I agree with all that.. I spent a few years buying my own, watching and selling... Wasn't worth the heartache... Pretty generally if you can afford to sit things out and not crystalise your losses its best thing to do. I sort of feel if it's not best thing to do, well they are all going to...

Very interesting speech from Germany.. (Dr Alice Weidel) Telling it as it is. Don't listen OG. Think the most interesting aspect is the general support, yes bit of heckling when she has a go at Barnier but overall the floor is very supportive. Doesn't bode well for a united EU.??? Wait til the...

Yep, problem isn't facilities. It's manning them. I suppose overflow recuperation but do agree it was a PR stunt. If Chinese can build a hospital in 10 days, so can we. But, to be fair, suspect it did ease quite a few peoples' minds..

I think that's the aspect I, ve found quite odd. Ryanair shares, along with many others staging a fair recovery with revenue at best around 20% of peak figures. At worst stock market dropped around 10% and has now recovered to less than 5% down...??? Start of this I was expecting 20% drops. The...

Yep, agreed. Like I said might be a good time to buy Ryanair??? But I won't be doing..

Still beats how some shares will have performed recently.. Folk keep saying Gold is old... But it's protected plenty this time.... Again.. Yep, cash ain't great but its better than Ryan Air shares at moment. Bet there, s plenty wishing they, d sold (into cash) last March.. Got to sit it out...

"Would you rather trust your money in a bank at moment?" In times of collapsing markets, yes without a doubt. Bet you could buy Easy Jet and Ryanair for a couple of quid.. Might be worth a gamble...

FTSE 100 and 250 made biggest gains since last Feb recently.. Is that Brexit deal or anticipation of Astra/Zeneca Mhra decision... Its amazed me throughout this episode FTSE has stayed quite strong??? 6600 today??? World travel, airlines, hospitality and plenty more absolutely on their knees but...

Because he makes the decisions forced on him by party, the house, stupid people, society and Sage. He has to get everything through parliament and past idiots like IDS and some days Starmer. His own dad said he, d be ignoring lockdown. Get out, look around OG. There are masses of folk doing as...

I had to drive past Meadow Hall on boxing day. It was absolutely packed. There is no way on earth that many packed in could social distance, apparently it was same story at most commercial markets... Leeds especially bad. All these folk Danidl talks about being sensible getting their Christmas...

Mmmm, So now I, m as thick as mince and don't understand. You should be a diplomat. Amazing how all the incredibly gifted, intelligent people are posting on un read websites, just like all the football experts were jumping up and down, swearing on terraces, whilst the ones who know nowt are in...

Yep, I agree with you but to blame BJ is wrong. He, s had elements of his own party throughout this resisting every action. (IDS for starters) plus a labour party simply wanting to make petty political points wherever possible and a population generally wanting to avoid any sensible actions when...

Nice to see your attitude hasn't improved..

Few weeks ago I fitted a Tongshen crank drive to Daughter's cube.. You can specify bottom bracket width and the standard one does accommodate a wide spread of bottom bracket widths. You, d have to check with suppliers regards which kit you need. I was amazed how simple kit was to fit and suspect...

Good post... I, ve been staggered at the outright stupidity of many I previously thought of sound mind. It's been, and in many ways still is, a test of the country's IQ. Our in laws actually thought the previous Christmas bubble thing was 3 different famalies per day.. They had plans to see...

This mornings news summed up why we are in a mess with Covid. Chap in Wuhan just sentenced to 4 years in gaol for criticising handling of pandemic. Meanwhile in Verbier over 200 brits have done a bunk from accommodation to avoid quarantine. Can you imagine the mentality of folk... "Let's go...

That is at best very unrealistic. Country hardly accepted lockdown as it was. Without all those deaths BBC were so happy to relay to us with hourly updates you really think Boris (or anybody) could have imposed anything approaching what you mention. Let's face it Boris had all on getting last...
