I'm 57. Getting a NHS flu jab on Saturday but not one for Covid. I look after my 91yo mum, and we have carers coming in 4 times a day. Don't know if any of the carers have had either jab, and although my mum is getting both (soon I hope) I hate to think what happens if I get Covid...

Guess none of you have ever taken a 16kg Maine Coon out for a walk. You didn't walk him, he walked you; he was a unit of a cat. And you had to walk him as he needed the stimulus of going outside but he was such a large moggie a lead was required. His best animal friends were 3 female Samoyed dogs

All to do with MAPA - Make America PAY Again. Politics aside, its built-in obsolescence - aka make a product, rely on software to run it then after a set time deliberately "refactor" software to make product work like brown stuff. Like slow the product down, remove functionality, add a feature/bug.

The website refused to authenticate me on the day of the order - although was fine the day before - and the app which I had to use because it wanted to compare my headshot with anything used as a photo ID, like a driving licence. Go figure.

Good to see; ordered one after having a fight with Paypal who wanted a scan of my driving licence! Only been using them since 2010...

Of course, the card is going to cost a mighty wack and need to be re-issued every x-1 years, and will be linked to our favourite cental government database, which when I checked my info, was about 40% wrong. I'm a Database Admin with 30+ years experience.

I understand when asked about how to make a sausage roll it's when you give a train (normally a Flirt) a push....

If that was in the US they would write it off and give you 25% of the market value! As for fixing yellow Corsa's - no idea I'm afraid.

When they rewrite a Bible to align it to their version of faith, then start calling theirs "The Bible" and state it's what's in said book as gospel; then the real "fun" will begin.

H&S and BR would have had kittens if they knew what was going on between March, Ipswich & Stratford. There were quite a few youngsters driving everything from 03s, 08s, 26s, 31s, 33s, 37s, 40s & 47s at that time, although I didn't know anyone do a 40 mile trip like myself.

I remember 1976 as being the year when I went from freckle-less to being completely covered in the things. You could draw a map of the world on my arm if you joined-the-dots correctly...
