    One-*** efficacy questions

    Genuine question, not attempt to argue with either side: do we NEED the virus to circulate amongst the young? Doesn't vaccination achieve immunity for them as, or more effectively, but without X (insert percentage here), getting ill, or have I missed the point?

    Retirement

    I'm 53, so a little bit 'ahead' of you. 2 kids. One at uni, second finished A levels today. (Currently in 'spoons, so OMG for later today). I worked for my Dads biz for years, then my brother and I took over when the old man semi retired, then sadly died at 67. Lesson 1 learned - work hard as...

    e-scooter trial, London

    Pils, Private individuals, e.g. you and me cannot ride around on them, but private limited companies can own them and RENT THEM OUT to private individuals. Does seem a bit mad, but I assume the logic is that the rental company will have to insure them and maintain them and they will be easier to...

    Air filter

    Clogs, that looks a neat solution. 2 quick questions; 1. Did you put the fan drawing air out or pushing it in? (I assume the former, so can not getting dirty) 2. Do you know what micronage, (new word, no copyright), it has? Thanks in advance Greg

    Retirement

    Oh, and when you're ready to stop, don't keep your share of any business you had, unless you are prepared to stay out of running it - you'll just get fed up, and p*** off your old employees/ partners 😉

    Retirement

    Good thoughts up above. I'm a business owner, too and do have concerns about income being enough when I'm ready to retire. Not helped by my first pension being with the' rock solid' provider Equitable Life - that weren't bang after I'd been contributing for a few years 😡. But hey, life goes on...

    New one to me

    I have a similar opener, but it also has a magnet to hold the dripping brush over the pot - quite neat. https://www.brewers.co.uk/product/LE507005

    Am I the only person depressed by the number of comments with gender or racial stereotypes in them?

    Hmmm 🤔. I may be misremembering, but DW, I think you were pretty vocal about what we called the storming of Capitol Hill, and you were explaining they weren't REALLY troublemakers, just an ickle bit sad that their champ turned out not to be a champ

    There are some who whisper similarly about a certain lady who became particularly attached to some islands near Argentina. I'm saying nothing. Popcorn time 😁

    Whilst that is true, Kitchener also put in a personal order to Dr Waddell for Chinese porcelain which he was to plunder during the British invasion of Tibet. Complicated things, humans 😉

    Am I the only person depressed by the number of comments with gender or racial stereotypes in them?

    I think it may be tin hats and popcorn time again any moment now, with dangerous views that question the perfection of our erstwhile wartime leader 🤐

    Tube benders

    2 inch is going to be a challenge by hand, I'd think. 22mm chipper is pretty demanding, though I am a10 stone weakling! Not sure what options are out there

    Am I the only person depressed by the number of comments with gender or racial stereotypes in them?

    Coincidentally, I'm reading a really interesting, well researched, (and luckily very readable, rather than high brow academic), book on the Empire. Not a 'lefty rant' as the "get over yourselves, it was in the past, not my fault, blah blah" anti-woke brigade will assume. It explains and...

    The RP comes with the mounting kit, the Axi seems to need another thirty quid for that bit. Axi claims slightly quieter

    First bandsaw

    If it's anything like me, it's taking e.g. a square block or plank, then cut off corners to make square into an octagon. Top and base flat. (Or half log placed bark side upwards, pith side face down on table, then cut to octagon as before).
