Keep it down please I am just going for a wee snooze

To be fair, it looks more like a hanging than a snooze. for @Bairnardo

Following in from the 5G tweet earlier, Amanda Holden has tweeted out a link to a petition linking 5G to Coronavirus.




Have any of the P&B crackpots gone down the 5G route yet?

Deary, deary me.

I remember the days when Ortega was seen as a good guy, before he turned beastly dictator who fucked his 12 and 15 year old step daughters, amongst others.

What radio channels have been your positives during this shiteshow? BBC World service is great but listened to that a lot before anyway. I’ve tried Country Hits Radio and really enjoying it. A few repeats but not much in the way of shitey ads.

Usually just planet rock,  mostly out if habit.

Feeling a lot better about this now that an old rich woman is going to read off a teleprompter for 10 minutes on Sunday night. No surrender!

I don't think either of them is a nurse.  Nursing, maybe...

The one on the left is. Graduated from the Royal College of Midmilfery around 1998.

I just unfortunately encountered the not so nice side of the NHS down at AYR hospital. Taking my 81 year old mother for an eye appointment I let her off at the door while I parked the car, however when i entered i got stopped by a torn faced bitch of a nurse who asked what i was doing, i explained i was down with my mum who I pointed to sitting alone in a waiting room through a locked door. The response was "you can't come in here, get out", I then asked where I should go, the response was "outside". Next question I explained that she was waiting on me appearing and would be worried if I didn't, response, "I'll tell her". Next I asked how I'd know when she was out as she didn't have a phone, response was "don't know", I then asked when she "might" be out, response "don't know". Finally I asked what she thought I should do then ? Was told "don't know, that's your problem" as I say, a total bitch. I get shes under pressure (although the hospital was empty) but so are most of us and personally I could be doing without the serious attitude problem.

You are thinking of rune-reading.  The scientific method is all about reproducibility and, by definition, something that hasn't happened can't be reproduced.

From wikipedia ( yeah, I know, bite me)

Although procedures vary from one field of inquiry to another, they are frequently the same from one to another. The process of the scientific method involves making conjectures (hypotheses), deriving predictions from them as logical consequences, and then carrying out experiments or empirical observations based on those predictions.[5][6] A hypothesis is a conjecture, based on knowledge obtained while seeking answers to the question. The hypothesis might be very specific, or it might be broad. Scientists then test hypotheses by conducting experiments or studies. A scientific hypothesis must be falsifiable, implying that it is possible to identify a possible outcome of an experiment or observation that conflicts with predictions deduced from the hypothesis; otherwise, the hypothesis cannot be meaningfully tested.[7]

Had the same experience in the Victoria hospital in Kirkcaldy last year. Nurse was horrible and started shouting at a women who couldn’t walk to hurry up. They’ve been understaffed and stressed for years. Still it’s not nice to experience.

ONLY something that has already happened can be reproduced.  It's basically the definition of 'reproduced'.

My dad was in crosshouse for a week in february and they couldn't have been nicer but the one I've just encountered (and yours by the sound) need to be sent on some public relations course (after the covid outbreak dies down obviously) !!!

I hope that nurse and Amanda Holden get the fatal form of the virus.
