"The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine has been receiving a lot of attention recently. The EU has been dissatisfied with production hold-ups, while the German health ministry has raised questions over its efficacy in older age groups. As a result, Stiko – the German Standing Committee on Vaccination –...

Crazy situation. I think the advocates for self driving cars needed to have a look at such as this before making their claims. Little wonder that they are backing down now. .

We don't know that at all. The 15% of Scots over 80 who had received the jab totalled some 37,500 out of the UK's 66 millions, just 0.06% of the population. And many of them will only just have received the jab in the last week or so and didn't have time to fall ill with Covid-19 and be...

At the point of this first being announced, Scotland had only just vaccinated 15% of the top priority group of over 80s. That is far too limited a sample of age and numbers to draw from to reach such emphatic and precise conclusions on resistance to hospitalisation resulting from two different...

It was seeing these truths that prompted my 16 year old decision to retire early and avoid this fate. A place I took over to manage from 1974 had 4 males of it's 14 employees very close to 65 years old. Two contracted cancer as they reached their 64th year, one dying after just three months...

You're right there with this Freudian slip, the side effects are very affective. :D .

There's some truth in this, but how does car driver coming from your right indicate they are going straight on, which especially on a mini roundabout could be appropriate? All a car driver can do is indicate when entering if they are going around to the right, then indicate left on reaching...

It's as much as anything due to them not thinking of bicycles, they are looking for motor vehicles which they do give way to when they are approaching from the right. But with mini roundabouts I agree with Oyster. In the main they are a thoroughly bad idea for everyone which should never...

The Scottish samples were far too small for that conclusion to be anything other than jab promoting propaganda. No bad thing to promote having the jab, but it doesn't warrant promoting these as scientifically reliable figures. They aren't. .

That's the second time you've posted that Covid-19 is a 100% genuine threat. .

The Nightingale hospitals mark 2. .

I view this as understandable though, given the seriousness of the false allegations against him and Sturgeon's willingness, even eagerness, to accept that it was all true. .

Indeed. I cycled (unpowered) more after retiring than ever before, my annual mileages often looking more like car mileages, and also walked extensively in the countryside for my natural history interests. I also did a lot of voluntary work in the local nature reserve and am on the committee of...

Salmond's calm and measured evidence giving was a winning performance, he remains a very capable politician. I doubt Sturgeon will be able to match it any way. But the Scottish public don't seem to be taking any notice of the spat since the SNP's support is stronger than ever. Even many of...

Scotland is indeed a fine nation, but like so many it can be very self destructive at times. Just look at the current Salmond/ Sturgeon row, the worst possible timing at such a crucial stage in Scotland's future. And many might see the act of union was self destructive. .

I can't agree with that. I made two important decisions about my future at the very young age of 16 and one of those was to retire early with a target of 50. I could have done that but hung on a little longer to do a favour for the business, but still retired at 54. And I'm still very much...

What about nuclear power stations? .
