Only here.

He’s at a left footers primary school so the local priest is more of a worry tbh than any philosophers or hippies 

Anyway back to Covid, mother has been notified about her next jab already. Told a few folk about it and said that I’ll be straight in when I get my invitation. Struggle to understand why so many have said that they won’t bother

Wasting your time trying to understand it. They certainly don't.

Likewise, though not sure if/when that will happen.

Anyway, father-in-law, not in great health, has how got covid. Mother in law clear, but with symptoms.

I was round there the afternoon before I tested positive.

Wife positive, and lad clear, but with symptoms.

Wife' cousin also got it, from separate contact.

Could be the "Arcturus" variant, who knows, but it seems very transmissible.

Pretty sure me and the missus have it. Don’t have any tests and no way am I paying for one.

I drank through it last time, I’ll stick to that as a tried and trusted response.

Wife’s family have all had it. I’ve had sinusitis for a few days but tested negative. Then again I’ve supped a fair amount of red wine recently so I’ll trust @Spider’s reasoning

Sore simuses you say?

Pre-cursor to the main event. Give it another week or so, and all the gunk will flood out over 2 or 3 days.

Went through an entire bog roll blowing my snoz Saturday night alone.

Was the same first time I had it.

Surprising really that the body doesn't wrinkle like a prune with water loss.

Yes

And sign back up to all those beer delivery sites.

 

Precisely the same situation with flu.

Variants are different year on year, and the jab is aimed at what is expected to arrive.

Th'older and more vulnerable will be offered it, and we all crack on.

I've still got over 100 unused test kit things in the garage :), and about 500 face masks. I knew they'd come in handy again one day

Over 100? How on earth did you get so many?

Mrs Sweep acquired them via work.........they were free of charge, so she just got as many as she could get in the boot of her car at the time, as believe it or not, they were being chucked into a skip

If it boots off again, you could make a nice little wedge flogging them off to desperate folk.

I could :)

I wouldn't though, I generally give them to people who need them, saves them buying them from the chemists. I think I've even sent some to a couple of people on here in the past.

It’ll be reet. It’s just a bad cold now.

And we always have those 40 hospitals on standby.

So, get back to work.

No need for 40 more hospitals if employees would rather spend days and days on strike.

you sent me some test kits, they were a bit brown and smelly on the bit you put up your nose, but worked a treat, so thanks for that
