Seconded. Bob made his post as I was composing my wee-take response to Roger, but with MY 95-year-old M-in-L in a sheltered accommodation not far from Bob's location, the satire drained away pronto, when I realized the import of his message. Sam

Calm down lads - and play some early Clannad. Anything around 1982, give or take a year. :-" Sam

I worked it out. Somebody told him - as part of a briefing on viruses - that they were susceptible to U.V. and bleaches/phenols. The terminally thick wassock that he is, thought he would show off his 'knowledge'(!!) by using it to show how innovative HE was... ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) Sam

Roger, I know b.a.cubed about Macs, but I remember giving our laptops a good digital cleanout of duplicate files, caches, unused programs, yada yada. The difference in speed afterwards is quite astonishing. Can you do the same for your iWotsits? Sam

Please nobody switch from dry PTFE spray to WD40!! The latter is flammable and the risk of slight shorting tween terminals as you insert or remove is all too real! Sam

Welcome back Nick! Look forward to the new venture...postal subs only d'y'think? Sam

J - G, great starting point. Thanks!

Request seconded. Mine looks like a dog chewed it. Sam

David, remember the phrase "two nations divided by a common language"? I think you just hit that one on the head. Squarely. :-" :D Sam

Mike, I so hope you are right. Whatever works is fine in my book; I have no problem being proved wrong with this pestilence. Sam

What I think you are referring to is that they have managed to contain it? Agreed. They did so with a degree of people...

Death figures are gathered differently - and at different times/rates - by the various authorites. Ergo, even the coarse statistics are, as R. says above, dubious. Without both test regimes, antigen and antibody, in six figures each, we cannot quantify, map, strategise, erradicate. Presently, we...

You lot be grateful you have working follicles. Loads of mine migrated, and, though some returned, unfortunately their sense of location has atrophied and they are now happily producing keratin in my nose... :? Sam

You know, I often wondered who was Buster Merryfield's stunt double Phil.... Sam

Plus one for Aqua Strap, absolutely first class product. Sam

Malwarebytes for protection, c£17 renewal this year, multiple machines, then CC cleaner once a week to prune the cache etc.

Great point David, thank you. Sam

Well, the letters were identical, sent from differing arms of NHS. They told us nothing new, and nothing specific about surface transmission. There is a lot of opinion washing around out there, masquerading as fact and also proper authority synopses glossing over detail. I got a red face over...
