Let's just hope the Rangers or Celtic fans don't decide to have a "vigil" after next weeks old firm game then.........

Someone died, WATTOO. Shut the f**k up for a bit and stop showing your arse.

The article kind of hints at it in the final paragraph. The vaccine itself is thought to be fine but there are concerns that there could be a contaminated batch in circulation.

Of course it could also just be random occurances.

MHRA response saying no evidence of a link.

I’m due to get my first jab on Tuesday. I’ll be fucking raging if there’s any suspension here!

Unless someone comes up with evidence I doubt we’ll suspend it.  Bad optics.

You're pathetic.

Don't worry though, I'm away out now for an 18 hole vigil on the Gold Course, hopefully the rain stays away.

Funny how all the articles talk about the AstraZenica vaccine and don't mention Oxford in the name... I thought it was only nasty Nationalists who did that?
Yeah,I pointed that out during the week at work. I'm just a bitter wee remoaner Socialist, though, so apparently I was being picky.

My mother in law died during this lockdown.  My wife got to see her once after the doctors decided her cancer was terminal.  Most of that lack of visitation was down to my insistence we follow the rules which prevented my wife visiting.

With hindsight I was completely wrong with this attitude and I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.

As long as you don't put too much thought on the regret, no point when you can't change it.

Thanks Rod. I was aware of that, but my parents are not in such bad health (well, my dad is, but my mum cares for him)  that I could legally call myself their carers.
They're about 90 mins away, and I've seen them once in the last 4 months. 
I'm not man who wants to break laws, but my dad won't be around for ever and I'm at the point when I'm weighing up the balance between what is legally and morally right. 
I'm afraid that if the SG insists, against all facts, figures and reason, that we have to stay locked in for another 2 moinths or whatever...I'm simply going to ignore it. 
Bob, I think you have legitimate reasons to go to provide some respite and emotional support for your mum. Frankly it isn't anyone else's business how ill or otherwise they perceive your parents to be. If I was you, I would go and visit them. It's not a heinous crime and it is going to give your mother a lot of support and help.

My mum was diagnosed with Myeloma in December 2019 and had decided that she'd rather live whatever time she has left with treatment of blood transfusions, steroids and painkillers rather than going through painful chemo to potentially extend but lessen her quality of life for something that the prognosis of is that it will never be cured and at best reduced to 'chronic' cancer. She'd accepted that if I was still a child she'd have gone the chemo route to try and get as much time as possible but given her age (65 at time of diagnosis), she'd rather not have her life extended 10 years if the treatment crippled her. A decision that I fully respected.

I made the decision at first to not go and see her to protect her but the prognosis for myeloma is always relatively unknown in terms of length of time left, my grandad was also diagnosed with it in his late 70s and never had so much as a days treatment in the 7 years he lived following this. The fact he also took it was a massive coincidence as given the rarity of myeloma, I immediately assumed that this may be genetic but everything I've read on it suggests it's not the case.

Early on in the first lockdown, probably about 6 weeks in, we came to the decision that we weren't going to be doing it anymore. With her having her whole world ripped away from her (she'd only been retired 6 weeks before the diagnosis) being in pain due to stress fractures in her back caused by the bones weakening, more or less housebound and now shielding as well, that it was going to be fucking horrific for her and my dad's (who has taken on more than he ever previously had) mental well being to be totally cut off from myself as their only child.

My mum is still here, still on painkillers/steroids and going to hospital for transfusions every four weeks. It's not getting better but it's at least not deteriorating currently either aside from a non-covid virus that she had around about Xmas. I'm happy that I still get to see her. If I'd distanced myself from her to 'protect' her I'd have beaten myself up about it for the rest of my life if something had happened to her in that time period. I know now that whatever happens will happen and when it does, I won't lament any time lost.

I mean this in all earnestness, go and see them. Go and see them regularly. 

Don't let it get to the stage of beating yourself up for something that you could or should have done.

Can I just mention your username gave me a wee chuckle when we're discussing clotting...


Haha! Didn’t even think there

Thankfully the DVT I’m thinking of caused joy and Celtic tears and not pulmonary embolisms

I see the scare headlines are already starting up:

Of course, absolutely no clarification if his reasoning is based on the absolutely gubbins modeling, or the fact that any subsequent 'wave', i.e. seasonal outbreak like influenza, will be well within healthcare capacity thanks in part to the vaccines utterly smashing it. Got to keep that fear going among the clueless public who won't know any better, though.

Meanwhile, who could have thought it:
