It's hard to see it any other way - covid travels by contact (interpersonal or surfaces an infected has touched) - remove that, remove transmission, ask any medical professional, I shouldn't even have to state that, every human over the age of about 4 should know that instinctually by now. My...

Um "unaffected?" I invite you to look at my finances for the last year. Guess how much money has come through my accounts for the last 12 months - go on have a guess.... I'll tell you, LESS THAN £4,500 - the majority of which was the three self employed bailouts from the Govt. £1215, £1063 and...

Please let's not have another round of rorshach style "better off dead than poor" comments - it didn't end well for him then, it won't end well now. His comments earned him quite a few replies branding him a "despicable human being". here's just an example of one: Hancock's Half Hour I've...

If they really are doing a full curfew style lockdown, could well be one of the first places to see drastic reduction of covid cases per capita - I'll remind you of this post in a few weeks shall I? Want to lay any bets?

Ok I'll bite - so if we don't denigrate those superspreaders (basically everyone ignoring "the rules") in the hope they stop, what should we be doing instead? - Offer to "talk nicely" to them in the hope they change thier ways (having shown no indication of it for the last 12 months), maybe give...

If you are asking if I beleive with absolute certainty that there WILL be another pandemic of some other biological agent, then yes, 100%. History has shown they occur with alarming regularity - now granted that for the majority of the historical ones, ignorance played by far the biggest factor...

So we isolate them, why should the rest of the planet pay the price? Let's get real people, this is a dry run for a more virulent pandemic that WILL happen sometime down the line - we've been overdue for decades and with international travel being what it is and humanity spreading as we are...

Cozzer - in answer to your last question the answer is YES - when the first lockdown happened Rorshach was extremely vocal about how the lockdown was unnecessary, how businesses (including his NON ECONOMICALLY VITAL business) should be allowed to continue trading and were financially affected...

That was a reference to speech limiting behaviour elsewhere, read my posts first line again. Is "liberty and justice for all" NOT social equality type stuff? Hnuh, ok then - please elaborate. Ofc there are nutjobs - I had assumed you would know I wasn't referring to them, because there have...

I notice a long post I did is here is no longer - so I'll just leave this instead: I find it odd that people whom have been proclaiming "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and...

Strictly? Yes. Morally, absolutely not, and I would have said to go as well but taking extra precautions (see below). I am one of those same people, but self manage in other non medicated ways. However we both know that people have been bleating about "hazy rules" since last march, and that...

Well yes, but apparently we have to protect "the stupid" who kicked off this second wave and are becoming super spreaders - "coz human rights", regardless of the human rights of those they infect and kill.. As was shown in NZ - it WAS possible to almost entirely eradicate covid from a...

The rules have not been "hazy" and "ill defined" AT ALL that's BS speak to point fingers - there is a pandemic and has been for a year now, people who interact with others, for whatever reason, risk a chance of infection; the more interactions the higher the risk. This is not rocket science...

I'd have to agree - late 2018 I bought a 2nd hand Axi 200mm tabletop saw being advertised here, that was only a couple of years old and had seen almost no use "because I couldn't get on with it", I looked it over at the sellers place, but didn't give it a white glove inspection - It's an...

I've read about this elsewhere, interested to know how long an edge lasted before having to swap edges?

Well I bought a set from Peter, and gifted them to Eric the Viking as an Xmas pressie, who's been on about the lack of accuracy from his cheaper pairs for some time - who seemed both delighted and impressed with the quality and features, most especially the fractions... Thinking mebee I should...

In fairness the main reason was to make areas further north more accessible for commuting - no-one had planned on Covid. City centre living NOW is expensive because of all the retail space taken up - halve that and you've now got a HUGE amount of space available for living spaces and probably...

I've often wondered about that too - having spent a reasonable amount of time in Spain and the Balaeric islands the ability to shop until 8 / 9 pm because many closed during the day was extremely beneficial - I know they closed midday for a "siesta" and that was the origin of it, but the side...

I think the possibility of a sandwich version of an ice cream van might work - "a patch", a van and a loud annoying jingle to call out the WFH. Garages with a small supermarket will expand, and popup portacabin style sandwich shops also. High street shops will probably become a place to go see...

Deema - use a clock to measure???
