The Panasonic motor in the Dover is rather weak by today's standards, so I fear it wouldn't suit your hill situation in Germany. And there's no internal spares available so an old one comes with the risk of sudden failure. And given the long history of Impulse unit failures I don't see one...

It's not about success or even Islam, just look at Vietnam. A poor country of people with low living standards who now often try to illegally emigrate for better. They could have co-operated with the French or Americans and been another wealthy South Korea now, but they valued their...

I think you've got it the wrong way round through judging from your Western perspective. Why do you think countries like Afghanistan persist with hard line Islamism? It's because for hundreds of years it's been what they supported and prefer. Don't be fooled by the western propaganda...

As I forecast 20 years ago and again five years ago in this post, the Taliban are about to re-assume full power in Afghanistan. As they should of course, they were the legitimate government in that country when US lead western NATO changed from the six weeks of evicting Al Qaeda into a...

I know, hence my Smiley. .

Not relevant, drowning is a health issue. Just like spectacles, dentures and wigs then, we'd have had lifejackets from the NHS. ;) .

No need to go that far back, Clement Attlee and his team would have got it sorted. The blunt speaking of men like Aneurin Bevan didn't leave any room for fluffing an issue. .

I guess I'll be an N. S. too. = No Sale ! .

I've never had any Covid test, all my efforts are defensive, following my lifelong rule that primary safety is infinitely better than secondary. .

But that's outdoors OG, far less risk in open air. The real importance of masks is to protect others in enclosed air spaces like shops where there's less potential for distant displacement of expelled air. The air we breath out has been warmed so is likely to rise, out of harms way outdoors. .

As I reported when the restrictions were relaxed, there was quite a lot of non mask wearing among customers in week one at my Sainsbury's large superstore and all the staff were unmasked. Things has changed a lot now though. The early sign saying customers didn't need to mask was replaced a...

Peruvians probably feel most comfortable up there, living at high altitude is the norm for them. .

There's 12 listed above us for cases per million of population. .

With Polly gone there are no Covid deniers in this thread. The rest of us all acknowledge Covid-19 and its dangers and the need to protect ourselves with the recommended measures and to the best of my knowledge we all practice those measures. But most of us keep our heads and don't go looking...

I've been trying to find a link, I only saw it I think once some while ago, though there was plenty of loose talk late last year about such large numbers. The government doesn't make it easy to find things with the many ways they report the issue on different web pages. .

Welcome back Zlatan! .

Those numbers are peanuts compared with the 78% over excess deaths being reported as due to Covid. And since when can Long Covid be a death? It's only Long Covid while life persists. .

As I've previously illustrated, excess deaths over a year is a very reliable indicator, especially in our own case where for the three previous years (2017, 2018, 2019) we had a fairly static population total and equally consistent death totals. Deduction of that three year average produces...
