I had Covid back in the Summer having had 2 jabs. I had to cancel a UK holiday because of it. I had the booster nearly 4 weeks ago and next week I'm due to go to Tenerife. What does alarm me is the UK government's insistence that I do a LFT prior to coming back to the UK and then a PCR within 2 days of arrival. I can't see the point of this as the variant is circulating freely in the UK and has been for a couple of weeks. All their policies are doing is making me shit scared of going anywhere or meeting people in case I catch it again before I go, or worse still I test positive whilst out in Tenerife and I am barred from coming back. Statistically it is likely that someone on the plane travelling out there will have it anyway as someone will when coming back. It's all a joke and is putting people off trying to do semi-normal things with their lives.

If old age didn't get him then his diet certainly would! I'm not sure what that is supposed to be on his plate...

Is that football or soccer?

I bet his sphincter has loosened somewhat also.

I had him at the top of my list as I did John Edrich a year ago. Cricketers have a habit of early dismissals, but that's par for the course given the current state of the England team

I went to see the Libertines a couple of weeks ago in Birmingham. A good night. I understand that they have cancelled the Cardiff gig due to the dreaded variant.

Interesting that scientists are predicting daily death rates anywhere between 600 and 6000 whilst we live under PLan B. At the same time we have govt ministers opposed to restrictions. Two things are for certain:- 1) The NHS isn't adequately funded and resourced to deal with this kind of crisis. That may have to change in the short to medium term if we are to avoid finding ourselves in this situation again. 2) Either the scientists are wrong or those ministers opposed to further restrictions are. If the latter get their way then we will see how accurate the modelling is and whether lives are lost as a result of hands-off approach from govt. Someone will have egg on their face if the strategy of doing nothing is followed.
