"Jags" for his abuse of the ministerial car provision, and, later, "jabs" for punching a local who had a pop at him while out campaigning in Wales. As noted, mind, both versions work equally well.

Unfortunately none of the clowns In positions of power need to sweat for an instant about their jobs, cash or food, it's high time we all voted for people that are capable and motivated to change things for the better and kick the shit out into the real world. I saw Matt Hancock being interviewed recently and have tailored my expectations accordingly. I wouldn't hire him to hold the Golf Sale sign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 2 hours ago, TheScarf said: It's to do with the curve of the earth. It's a shorter route going over Scotland. You regularly get flights from Europe flying over Inverness on their way to the West Coast of the US and A. I always find it partly-depressing flying over Scotland en-route to the States knowing that's where you were five hours or so ago when you checked in for your trip's first leg down to Heathrow / Schiphol. "Oh look, the Cairngorms, where we could have been four f***ing hours ago had we driven there rather than the airport". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexually frustrated folk who have been holding out for something better all night eventually thinking "ach, you'll do" prior to a scene resembling Tommy & Liz in Trainspotting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Bully Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 It’s probably the only thing I like about Prescott. That twat with his shite mullet throwing the egg, standing back and smirking, and getting punched in the face by a pensioner. Well done John. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) He's still building the thread as I posted Addition referencing everyone's favourite covid 19 p&b thread topic. Kids+schools Looking more and more like Scot gov figures were on the button for schools, while the deviation down south was due to this new strain. As that works its way up here we might well have no choice but to shut the schools. Crucially, f**k knows what I'll do with MAH TWO WEANS in that case. Nintendo switches will be getting rattled I predict. Kind of rely on the school for childcare.

renton Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) Only pre print, and not peer reviewed yet... but here is the paper on the new strain. Reckons 56% more transmissible. https://cmmid.github.io/topics/covid19/uk-novel-variant.html Some lighthearted conclusions include a higher death toll in 2021 than in 2020 with only maximum restrictions including total closure of all education establishments able to give some degree of confidence of keeping R below 1. This is not due to increased susceptibility in kids (assumed to be 50% of transmission rates as adults in the model) which shows a poor fit to their chosen model, but simply because the increased infectiousness across all age groups makes it far harder to get a grip on, further it notes: Quote An accelerated uptake of 2 million people vaccinated per week is predicted to have a much more substantial impact. The most stringent intervention scenario with Tier 4 England-wide and schools closed during January, and 2 million individuals vaccinated per week, is the only scenario we considered which reduces peak ICU burden below the levels seen during the first wave Great.

renton Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 So, on the basis that we won't be able to keep it out, or suppress this variant, that means we need to be doing 180,000 vaccinations per week.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need the AZ/Oxford vaccine approved and pumping out vast quantities of the stuff. Turn the airports into massive drive through vaccination points. Get the army out, get every damned health professional not currently keeping some poor c**t alive involved and turn it over as fast as humanly possible. Slovakia managed to test 3.6 million people in a weekend. We should be taking notes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a pity we're soon going to run out of our first batch of the only vaccine available so far... Although, didn't they say they would only vaccinate the amount of people they had two doses of the vaccine for? So today's news that they've now vaccinated over 500,000 people when they only have 800,000 doses seems a bit odd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
