Re: Mhairi Black MP

Re: Hardknott Pass failure.....

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Not one to put people off having what they want, but did you hoover out your PC John? If it's dusty and running hot then that will slow the cpu. Check the heat sink is tightly bonded etc?

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Yes, isolate when test positive in Wales. You can get out after 5 days allegedly, but have to have two consecutive clear tests 24 hours apart - but shouldn't test until day 5. Also, you cannot go out...
