Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Had my jab a couple of weeks back and last night had a call from Bill Gates telling me he knows where I am and that I'm not allowed to go to bingo and I must go home and buy something from the Microsoft Store immediately as penance.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Went onto the vaccine site to book and I'm not recognised by the system. I know why, I haven't been to my GP for years and I've dropped off their register. Spoke to the practice today, re-registered and the admin lady said she'd phone me this afternoon to book a jab. Very efficient so far. Hope to feel a little "scratch"* in the next few days.
Other smile is a shiny new MOT for my 21yr old Yaris, no problems. *(censor wouldn't let me put p-rick) Edit PS - good to their word, vaccine booked for tomorrow. Excellent service from GP surgery.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
I boarded the Astra-Zeneca train today. The doc said I may get a sore left arm - I told him that it would give me back my symmetry since the right arm aches. He said he liked my humour which is good because I told him that I was going to tell the waiting queue that his needle had broken my arm.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
The sooner as many people as possible are vaccinated ,the sooner we can escape from lockdowns and restrictions . We all want to be allowed out and about and riding our motorcycles again, so should you be branded a social outcast, I'll leave that to others to decide !

The ONS stats also break down the deaths that are wholly down to Covid, Covid as a mitigating factor and had Covid but it wasn't a contributing factor. There's nothing hidden, or spun, to make things sound worse or better than they are. Its a very easy Google search. As for your comment about the number of people not reporting it; the hard figure is the number of deaths. Whether the percentage of those that have had it is up or down, who gives a flying fig when the number of deaths is a real number, not a percentage. I can't remember what the excess number is, though I have seen it, but though the number of Covid deaths is listed at 120k the excess is upwards of 80k I think... Actually, the only spin is that being done, on occasion, by various media and Covid deniers. There was an article out yesterday saying there hasn't been a flu death for 5(?) weeks. As for social outcast; there's a whole spectrum of beliefs from rabid denier to those that haven't been outside their door for 11 months. Some will support your stance whilst others will ridicule it.
