What I'm wondering about is that he's on a crusade about mail in votes, citing the potential for fraud & electoral interferance, claiming that if he loses this will be a factor. Wonder what he'll say on the matter if the mail in vote helps him to another 4 years in the White House, will he claim vic...

And Christ alive, it makes you realise just how old the next president is going to be. No youthful spark of enthusiasm or optimism, or fresh ideas. Just two crusty old men, one of them a bullying sex pest, shouting at each other. Only just saw the 'highlights' - if you can call them that - on Sky N...

I think the pm will go further at some point. But he won't be seen to clamp down to hard too quickly only weeks after telling everyone to go back to work and head en masse to restaurants for a cheap meal to get things going again. My gut feeling is that we'll end up in a nation wide lockdown that s...

Controlling the spread of a virus is like trying to stop water flowing downhill with your bare hands, sadly. If there’s no vaccine on the horizon, at what point do we say that’s enough, we all know the risks, and go back to living life as normally as we can? If you wish to live your life in permane...

Announced on the News this morning, Global deaths to Covid 19 have now passed 1 million. https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-deaths-more-than-one-million-have-now-died-worldwide-12083123 Not good news - but there’s been worse, even in my lifetime.

I don't understand why people would choose to go in to a supermarket to do a full weekly/etc. shop any more. On reason is the slots were all taken by existing customers months ago and they are not taking any more. My Mum who suffers from a chronic lung condition pretty much needed a doctor's letter...

Exactly as according to a friend in the NHS you have to be in contact for a period of about 10mins for it be passed on Forgive my asking, but is that contact as in close proximity for 10 minutes or in the same room / space but socially distanced for 10 minutes?

I would have thought with Track & Trace, legitimacy of the call would be provided by the caller advising you where you had come into contact with an infected person - it would have to have been where you recorded your details - surely the caller would disclose this information for you to know the ca...

Going to the shops myself is not a relaible idea as I suffer from COPD and breathing is not my best activity, so carrying bags of grocieries is not possible. Infact this morning I ventured out to get some more electric wearing a mask and gloves and my COPD got the better of me and I nearly passed o...

Indeed, Its crazy and No need for it, and the trouble is - its in the stores with people buying off the street causing the issue, as deliveries are restricted before you can buy, the stores need to be more controled so no one could buy things in bulk, I dont know if its the stores management / indi...

by iainpeden » Wed 23 Sep 2020, 5:47 pm I think all take away shops can continue to operate. That’s why I think alcohol off sales should cease so the socialising doesn’t just move from controlled pub to uncontrolled home - the cause of one of the current university outbreaks. According to the Gover...

Yes, and yes.

Thank you.

Been going through some TNG on Netflix. Scary to think they were made 30 years ago.

Nicola Sturgeon asking for people to not book an overseas break during October holidays. Not went as far as to forbid it, but the entitled & those that think Covid 19 restrictions don't apply to them won't pay that any attention. Pubs & clubs, from Friday - 10pm closing. We're also forbidden from to...

My network provider's giving me 6 months free Amazon Prime.

Is this where one would find Picard, & is it worth a watch?

An equally safe bet is that Priti Patel & Matt Hancock won't be quite so vocal on seeing him one of the first to be down £10,000 - or whatever the fine is for this violation

Heard on the radio today Lancashire is heading for local lockdown, beginning 22 September.

Not Blackpool though, they are exempt.

It's a strange world we're now in, where a government threatening to breach international law is actually British. Not in Iran, Iraq, N Korea, or so on, but Britain, supposedly a beacon of democracy, of upholding law, decency etc. They may wave the Union Jack all they like but they're smearing it w...

Can’t wait to get back to be honest - if only to experience first-hand the hilarious one-way system that’s in place around my office, which forces staff to walk 300 yards one way to get to a desk that’s 10 yards the other way. That's pretty much the same as at our local high school - to get to a cl...
