Might be worth watching this - times definitely wrong for Wales! Long Covid: Will I Ever Get Better? Panorama BBC correspondent Lucy Adams is one of more than a million people in the UK with long Covid. She speaks to other patients desperate to know when they will be well again. 12 July...

Somewhat surprised to see a hydrogen refueller being installed at Milford Haven harbour (the pleasure boat bit - not the oil and gas facilities). I can't imagine there are many hydrogen vehicles in the area. If it is to enable Miria owners to come on holiday - fine! The fence makes it obvious...

Hence the use of air watts...

People were suitably annoyed when the EU started to impose limits on wattage of vacuum cleaners. Of course they knew they were going to end up with Bissel sweepers...

The most annoying single feature of SI/metric was the choice of mu / μ as the symbol for micro. So often perverted to "u" or "mc" and/or confused with m for milli. Might have been fine for handwriting, for Greeks, and the small number who had extended character keyboards. But for the rest of...

The fans without tickets yesterday just showed how utterly incapable the government is of managing distancing. And the people who are most likely to infect me are also, I suspect, the ones least likely to have the app installed and active.

Given the uselessness of the NHS Covid-19 app, I have just deleted it. From the start, they confused, delayed, went down dead ends, used ludicrously huge QR codes, failed to clarify use and practice, had the midnight tickover issue, etc. I retained it for the extremely rare check-in and out...

The new iMac is referred to as 24" though the screen is actually 23.5" - 57 or 58 cm would have been fine within a similar "tolerance". I'd have preferred 12 9/10" if they are going to stick to inches. Or 13" as you suggest.

Technically, I suspect it was United States customary units rather than Imperial. Ask GIIIR...

Not sure that follows. A vast proportion of infectious diseases cause an elevated temperature, tiredness and headache. But the likelihood of vaccinations for any one of them helping with all the others seems low, to me. Or at least, not predicated on similarity of those symptoms.

There were so many oddities about non-metric measurements! Like units of less than an inch being barleycorn (if anyone remembered it existed) and fractions or thous. That is, either using a system which was somewhat awkward or dumping you into metric. How many, even of us who went through it...

I did check and the NASA website I found actually had both. But the number was probably set many years ago when miles were even more prevalent. I'm sure that all real science and engineering is in metric/SI - even in the USA. Except diameter of tyres... And tap fittings. Both of which snuck out...

Interesting but I am extremely sceptical. If it is an effect of a vaccine triggering the innate immune system, rather than virus-specific, did they account for other vaccines such as shingles and pneumonia?

50 miles (rather than 80 km), surely?

I was dreading England winning and Johnson attempting to bathe in reflected glory.

Would he be allowed to go to Northern Ireland?

And returned in 2271... :)

At every turn, we are seeing encouragement to reduce our impact on the planet - yet he is using more resources for a joyride than all the contributors to this thread put together have, or will, in our entire lifetimes. And for some reason we seem to be expected to be interested and to cheer...

They have failed in that area as well. We should have seen extra crem capacity and JCB grave diggers. Obviously an ideal use of BEV technology so they can keep digging through what is left of funeral services.
