    Brexit, for once some facts.

    1 in 1500 is inconsequential since the range of things that can and do end the life of over 70s is so vast that an added one scarcely counts. Avoiding a known possibility if one can, however miniscule the risk is, is still a sensible and rational action. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Zlatan's reply to Woosh who quoted a post made by Suzan: "I (Zlatan) wasn't primarily talking about our government, they certainly haven't done a bad job so far with supply and certainly did things it's EU counterparts didn't. They placed orders for over 400 million doses, almost a 4 fold...

    No, we were due on a show stand for the company's products, a duty we weren't looking forward to as we were going down in the lift to breakfast in the hotel. Then my colleague had the idea of trying this to simulate the weight of several people. We jumped together, slamming down hard and it...

    The tale of a £100 second hand electric bike.

    Can you do a big jump up and hard down alongside the bike to multiply your weight and trigger the gate opening? Two of us showed that works in a lift, triggering the overload sensor and locking the lift stationary. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We thought on 1st January 2000 that we were safe and it didn't exist. That'll teach us not to judge prematurely. It's the Millennium bug, an inability of some our computers to get past 31st December 1999 !! .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Justified for the authorities maybe, but certainly not necessarily for the individual, e.g. A person in the younger age groups who has always lived a very healthy life, assiduously followed Covid advice and has successfully avoided it for a year. Even if they do eventually catch this...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I absolutely agree and have long disagreed on our policy vis a vis China. No matter how much we dislike some of their internal policies, that is none of our business. I feel the same about the USA's insistence on policing the China sea and objecting to China having that role. The days of...

    Zlatan going, Jesus H Christ not been in for several days, Suzan sort of going, Maybe we'll at last be able to get away from the anti EU phobia and discuss other matters. The thread after all is not about the EU, it's about the UK leaving it and the consequences. .
