Either that or.... It's the end of the world as we know it 🎶

We're still alright saying japseye aren't we?

I think the reason that we struggle with derby games is that our style doesn't lend itself to a blood and thunder approach. We dominate teams by possession football and maintaining a shape. And when teams go hard it's difficult for us to compete by playing football around the opposition - simply because our players aren't consistently good enough to do it week in week out.

Do you remember the other day when I was talking about people who piece together unrelated events and then assume that correlation implies causation? There's no evidence to support the MMR jab causing eczema. Sorry to hear about your daughter though Stevie and hope she's on the mend. And also really heartened to hear that you had her vaccinated against some awful illnesses 👍 That must have been an awkward decision for you, if you're vaccine hesitant, but the evidence would say that you've absolutely done the right thing 👍👍👍

Yeah and it sounds like they'll be called back in if you get the single dose too as it's not considered a controlled dose on the vaccine schedule. So even if you get it - they will still be offered the full MMR at 13 months..... That's from the NHS GM screening and immunisation team. So the industry standards! 👍 You're in control though - so go with whatever you feel is right for you and your child......

Here you go mate. Direct from the experts! "Thank you for your email and apologies for only getting back to you today. I have Monday as a non-working day. You may want to copy in our clinical enquiry line england.gmsit@nhs.net just in case I am on leave etc. With regards to private vaccines, outside of the national schedule there are a couple of points you may want to raise/consider; Some private clinics in the UK offer single vaccines against measles, mumps and rubella, but these vaccines are unlicensed and are not recommended. You can find information for patients here MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine - NHS (www.nhs.uk) ‘The first dose of MMR should be given between 12 and 13 months of age (i.e. within a month of the first birthday). Immunisation before one year of age provides earlier protection in localities where the risk of measles is higher, but residual maternal antibodies may reduce the response rate to the vaccine. The optimal age chosen for scheduling children is therefore a compromise between risk of disease and level of protection. If a dose of MMR is given before the first birthday, either because of travel to an endemic country, or because of a local outbreak, then this dose should be ignored, and two further doses given at the recommended times between 12 and 13 months of age (i.e. within a month of the first birthday) and at three years, four months to five years of age’ The Green Book, Chapter 21, page 9 Green Book of Immunisation - Chapter 21 Measles (publishing.service.gov.uk) Any MMR vaccine given to an infant under 12 months would need to be disregarded and a repeat vaccine would be required to ensure they were protected for their age. Similarly, any single dose vaccines cannot be counted as valid doses. Avoiding having to repeat vaccination supports the following benefits; avoiding any delay between injections that could risk illness reducing discomfort for the child reducing the number of appointments needed The UK schedule should be followed unless exposure to measles has occurred or there is a declared local outbreak. Administering the MMR vaccine outside of these parameters would fall outside of the PGD and clinical practice."

Can't you just put your shoulder to the wheel like we've all had to do with Brexit? 😁

Probably the greatest story in WW history! 😁

The population is tiny. And the area where the oil is is largely uninhabited. Venezuela reckon they have a historical right to the territory and have been building up tanks and troops near points of strategic importance. Bloody socialists!

Shit loads. And Venezuela recently had a referendum to ask it's population whether or not they should annex it - and they overwhelmingly voted yes.

Keep one eye on Venezuela and Guyana by the way. That's one false move from erupting too......

So by that rationale - Israel just needs to keep obliterating Palestinians until they either stop fighting back or are wiped out. Which is genocide isn't it? To all intents and purposes I mean?

I get what you're saying. And to an extent I'd agree with you. But if I was a Palestinian father whose wife and kids were now dead, stood in the ruins of his former home - I'd just want revenge.

😂😂 - thanks mate!

Done - I'll keep an eye on my inbox and let you know when they get back in touch! 👍

Direct line to Bill Gates

😂 - yeah no worries. I'll get logged on! In fact leave it with me. I'll email one of the vaccine specialists and get back to you!

I'm not sure. I've had a quick look but I can't find anything about it being contra indicated in under 12 months. I wonder if it's because it's the 3 in 1 MMR and there are other vaccines relatively close by to it in the schedule. Zico - if you're worried and want to hang on for a week I can find out when I'm back in work. But the private surgery should be able to advise you..... Just pleased to hear that you're taking your child's health seriously. Sadly I speak to lots of parents who think I'm an evil Illuminati shill 😂

Yep - vaccines are the devil's work* * despite average life expectancy almost doubling since they were first introduced

It means if 100 people are exposed to the virus then you'd expect 3 to contract it even if they've had the vaccine. I don't know the exact answer to your other question in measles. Although most vaccines will mitigate some of the most serious effects even if you do contract a virus or bacterial infection, because you'll already have some t helper cells that recognise the pathogen, so it will help trigger an immune response that bit more quickly.

2 doses gives you 97% protection against measles. 1 dose gives you around 93%......

I mentioned this a few days ago Blondi. I think my exact words were 'watch out for measles, it's about to make a comeback'. Another one of these illnesses that people forget how nasty they can be because it's been largely eradicated. And another one that's raising it's ugly head again thanks to the anti vax numpties trying to drag us back to 1890. Glad to hear you spotted it and got seen quickly and hope she's doing OK! Blondi is absolutely right by the way. Get your kids vaccinated - and get vaccinated yourself if you've never had it! 👍

I think that's why we came unstuck against Barnsley in the play offs last season....

Out for around 3 weeks according to the latest from the club. Stick with me for more top quality rumour and analysis! 😂

They look larger than life but they've got no sole (or something) 😁
