    Most of my mates are between 29-36. Only 2 out of about 15 of us have not had a vaccine. Lots of walk in centres giving them away no questions asked. In the arms!

    How do you go about it though? Just barge in during the late afternoon? Where in the UK are we talking?

    Yeah I agree, they’ve done well so far with the vaccinations but this doesn’t make up for everything else.

    Hopefully the numbers from NYE won’t be bad!

    When are we likely to see the NYE spike? I've not been following the stats that closely tbh - do we have an idea of when the peak is likely to be?

    "IF the virus does not change, and IF the vaccine works as expected, and IF the rollout is successful, and IF people obey the rules, then around 15 February, when the first four cohorts have been immunised, there will be substantial opportunities to relax the restrictions we currently face”.

    (I've added most of the IFs)

    More Johnson pie-in-the-sky, boosterish, unrealistic bollocks...

    Do you code perchance?

    Blimey this live album is absolutely quality. I saw them at the O2 in 2018 (?) and was blown away by how massive they sound live. This album really showcases that, the lead guitar is incredible.

    All the signs point towards a Biden victory, but I don't want to believe it until I see the results in front of me. Flashbacks of that horrendous feeling in 2019 when the exit polls came in predicting the thumping Tory majority. Horrendous. 

    Will there be exit polls for this election? Trying to decide whether it's worth staying up tonight or not.

    lifelong insomniac, I've just bought Why we sleep - is it any good?

    Oh god, my friend read this earlier in  the year and I swear to god, he wont stop going on about it. Always giving random facts about how important sleep. Was hanging out in the summer and he was like "okay i have to go to bed at exactly this time or it'll mess up my sleep pattern!"

    I was definitely guilty of doing this to my girlfriend after I'd read it! I thought it was absolutely brilliant in answer to the original question, very eye opening about how important sleep is to a frankly astonishing amount of things.

    Sometimes to start the fire in you again start with something easy. When you get out of the habit you don't want to be starting with War and Peace. Try a good page turner. 

    Has anybody here actually read War and Peace out of interest?

    These are the best books I've read over the last year or so.

    Fiction:

    • The House of Spirits by Isabel Allende. Completely enchanting book chronicling four generations of a family in Chile.
    • Girl Woman Other by Bernadine Evaristo. Follows a string of women of colour in the UK, with each chapter told from a different perspective. Deservingly won the Man Booker prize last year.
    • Half Of A Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. A historical fiction book following several characters through the years before, after and during the Biafran-Nigerian war. Very evocative writing.
    • East of Eden by John Steinbeck. An absolute masterpiece.
    • The Dispossessed by Ursula K Le Guin. An incredible and very thought provoking science fiction novel with utopian/capitalist themes.

    Non-Fiction:

    • Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams by Matthew Walker.  
    • Drink? The New Science of Alcohol and Your Health by Professor David Nutt.
    • So You've Been Publically Shamed by Jon Ronson.
    • Prisoners of Geography: Ten Maps That Explain Everything About The World by Tim Marshall. Gives a great insight into geopolitical strategy.
    • Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Perez.

    Does social media make things better or worse in times like this? There is a strong argument to be put forward for both. 

    Worse for me. Extreme opinions rise to the surface on the internet and in this situation it's difficult to be extremely positive, but very easy to be extremely negative. There's then a neverending feedback loop of doom; see thread.

    Just seen that The Who are doing a little tour this spring that finishes mid-May. Any chance they might make an appearance on the farm seeing as they're active?
