I got it out of the library - but then I couldn't be bothered to read it.

If they (libraries) close do you think there will be a fine amnesty?

some of our local traffic wardens will be helping to issue vaccines instead of tickets .....

One of the council ALMOs here has been asked to assist with the admin side of vaccinations.

No it hasn't been posted, hopefully this variant isn't resistant against the vaccines.

That guy seems pretty worried about these new variants...he's an advocate of zero covid.

It is worrying but all signs at the moment are good for the vaccines.

Anecdotally, my local Tesco and M&S are pretty empty of fresh food. The Irish supermarkets (SuperValu and Dunnes) are fully stocked though as are the German ones (Lidl/Aldi) (I don’t go to them all by the way, I shop in one or two of them but my sisters have been to the others!)...They said it was just delays in getting the paperwork organised and would be sorted soon (got stuff from Amazon.co.uk this week just fine and still free delivery, so presumably once everyone gets familiar with the extra declarations it’ll be back to normal). Anyway, we’re grand, plenty to eat! (Though I don’t know what it’s like up north).

Seriously, are you in my house? Same paint in the walls, we have almost the same tipi and the same bunny! (I recently took down the tipi and got the same Glasto pang you just did!). Enjoy the birthday regardless, they get madder and madder!

Looks cracking that - pretty sure we have the dinosaur that's on the shelf too.

Totally random and boring question but are they tape blinds? Been looking at some plantation shutters but keen to look at some alternatives too.

Wow thats brilliant, make sure you video her reaction, it will always cheer you up if you ever need a pick me up. Priceless as they say, and she will be so proud of you when she plays it back to you when she is older

Good! It's not particularly difficult giving jabs so the more people trained the better.

I think they are probably safer doing the marshalling ... but the more people that help the sooner we get out of this ...

yep,  that's what happened in lockdown #1

[stuartbert two hats]

Disappointing mixed bag. Stockport and Oldham have dropped, the rest risen.

I reckon they're waiting to see how it goes - new vaccine technology so makes sense to see what happens when rolled out on a huge scale, along with seeing if it actually makes a difference. I reckon if all looks good in Israel they'll ramp it up

One thing that seems to be slipping under the radar is the excellent take up and demand for the vaccine - even at this early stage.

 

Yes very positive. Made this same point a few weeks ago.
