    The people asked mostly seem almost proud of their ignorance. Hey, yes I went to high school, and I know I am utterly ignorant of world geography - even to the point of not identifying my own country. Just what did they learn in high school?

    Foot Pain

    I have seen GPs, a specialist foot consultant, multiple podiatrists, and all any of them did was prescribe or advise treatments that worsened the pain - sometimes dramatically. I'd have little or no faith in their ability to assess the impact on me - for driving or anything else. Unlike some...

    Don't worry everyone, you'll still be able to get beer... English pubs will be able to sell takeaway beer during this month’s lockdown, as long as its pre-ordered by phone or online, in a government U-turn after fears that more than 7m pints of alcohol would have to be poured away.

    It isn't so much the not knowing. Rather the willingness to spout false statements. After all, it's surely easy enough to check. Isn't it? Ministers have prompted confusion over England’s new lockdown rules with Michael Gove apologising for incorrectly indicating tennis and golf could be...

    Do these figures support a degree of cautious optimism? We know numbers tend to rise due because some do not make it through the system immediately. So it might be misplaced hope. But after about ten days of fire break is when we'd expect to see cases obviously fall...

    What a nonsense story. Everyone knows that the British Virgin Islands are highly respected for their suppliers of bulk PPE. Where else would you go to buy PPE?

    I have been wondering what the US military have been putting in place. I suspect an awful lot of them are as unhappy with Trump as most of the rest of the world. They might feel they have to protect the country despite POTUS being commander in chief. (Funny how he can take on that military role...

    This forces consideration of time. Imagine the events are occurring far, far away - such that there is a decent time gap between the event happening and the observer seeing the event. So the events, either or both, have already actually occurred but the observer hasn't yet seen either of...

    Dealing with failure by one of your closest colleague's spouse is not an easy situation to handle - unless you put the interests of the country first. I have zero intention of doing anything irresponsible, that is, that I see as irresponsible, but am extremely unwilling to kowtow to every petty...

    I'd like to see significant action against such appointments. Just to look at it very simplistically, what are the chances that one of the few dozen ministers' spouses is the best person in the country for any particular role? Against the millions who are not such spouses Just once every so...
