It is if they make it compulsory.

The vaccine does not stop you getting covid and nor does it stop you spreading it. How about the ones that want to get vaccinated do so and the ones that don't want to are left alone and we all get back to normality? In reality I think what we once thought of as normality has long gone and is never to return. Various governments both throughout the UK and throughout the world have had a taste of a bit more power and will not be giving it up again any time soon. It is very difficult to get any points across using real world examples without coming across as a conspiracy theorist or a foil hat wearer but there is lots out there which is quite worrying as far as government control is concerned. Our own pm, Boris, would any of you trust him to tell you the truth? Personally I think he was the best choice of what we were offered but doesn't that just tell you something about the quality of politicians as a whole. They make up the rules and can't even manage to follow them themselves. As an individual my lifestyle has hardly been affected, as a farmer I am very used to being in a field on my own for days on end and I am quite happy to be there. I don't get bored or lonely, it is what I am used to. That is not the case for most of society though, in fact it would be a nightmare to most. I am not anti vax, I have had 3 lots based on my perception of risk according to my age, weight health. It is borderline but overall I think so far it has been a sensible precaution. I am very much against compulsory vaccination and very much against vaccine passports with the possible exception of at international borders (not UK domestic borders). Mum is in hospital after a fall and will be there a while, she has cancer and the consultant told me that as of 2-3 months from now there will be nothing more they can do. Covid rules forbid me from seeing her. My grandson had his nativity last week, only one parent allowed to attend, all must wear masks and 2m distancing while seated. No provision for parents who are separated so single dads won't have got a look in there. Grandson has to wear a mask in the playground to protect them from a virus that bears hardly any risk to him or his parents. How anybody can claim there is not significant effect on mental health of the child or the parents hasn't a clue.

I did read it all and hadn't ignored any of it, I was commenting on the part I quoted. Yet more proof of someone ignoring the fact I hadn't quoted the whole article so wasn't commenting on the whole article.

When the conclusion is "may", it is not really a conclusion is it.

Why would he even want to? They are not exactly difficult to trap in plenty of more sensible ways than sticking a paper cone on their head.

A good friend was killed exactly the same way this year, hasn't got to court yet as far as I know. Mate in the box knew very well it wasn't safe and so did the farmer driving the loader, for the sake of £100 on a scaffold tower my mates dead. A tenner on a ratchet strap would have saved his life by keeping the box on the forks, farmer probably had one and mate probably had one in his truck but lets save 5 minutes by not bothering. Stupid and tragic! Just to make it even worse his son was with him and watched it happen. Not the first time and won't be the last because for some reason some farmers are just idiots. Occasionally there are unforeseen accidents but very nearly always they are easily avoidable. I have farmed all of my 57 years, so did my dad and so did his and so have most of my relations. There have been one or two lucky escapes but no serious injuries. The lucky escapes could easily have turned out much worse but the overriding factor is it was obviously dangerous and almost inevitable that someone was about to get hurt. How can you possibly be too pressed for time to be careful? The first rule is always that everybody goes home unharmed. I have worked on other farms and can't believe how many times I have seen people put their lives in obvious serious danger for absolutely no reason at all.

So that's where it came from! **** everywhere and stunk the whole upstairs out eventually snuffing it on the landing. Couldn't figure out how my window had broken at first but didn't take a lot of detective work. Pheasants are not noted for their intelligence but even I would expect it to miss a house.

A few? I noticed this year than mine actually says 2011 on it, I'd of sworn it was only a few years old too.

My teachers did worse than that to me without getting suspended, a sign of the times I guess. She must be a bit of an idiot to do that when being filmed or not. The horse is never going to improve as a result of being slapped in the face, completely the opposite is more likely. Being kicked isn't so much of an issue as it is what horses do, doesn't show her in a good light though.

I quite like open fires but can't understand anybody having one. Most of the heat goes straight up the chimney and by doing so draws all the colder air into the room. You end up sitting almost on top of the fire with an icy draught around your back/neck. Wood burner for me.

How do you even find a 13 year old thread?

1573 I think it says, definitely Elizabeth The First anyway. Not a collector but I have found a few over the years, only pic I had to hand though.

Same in the Mersey and it's why I would never fish in it. I know a few that claimed to have caught them. 🤢

My log burner is DEFRA approved for use in a smokeless zone as long as you fit the adapter. The adapter is an ordinary washer that fits under the vent handle to stop you fully closing the vent.

Exactly. Couldn't understand your insistence on getting it fixed.

Most likely a faulty connection or sensor, not something that stops them working properly. Don't be surprised if it costs £1k to find the actual fault and fix it.

Yes it is worth it and I would expect building regs insist anyway. I'd be doing 150mm insulation

Where do I say you did?

As far as I can tell you are claiming this to be 100% true except the 40% of the time when it isn't.

This has been proved wrong in so many peer reviewed scientific studies that I’ll just leave that there. Do you really not know anybody that has been jabbed and then later caught covid? I know enough people that have caught covid even though they have been double jabbed to be able to say your peer reviewed scientific studies are complete rubbish. That makes me suspect the rest of your argument.

I put a caravan for sale on facebook yesterday, by the response I think I may have underpriced it. Hardly surprised it's down, it must have pinged itself to death with all the folk mithering me.

Things have changed, he’s more likely to sell drugs than ice cream

First aid training Doesn’t matter what you carry if you don’t know how to use it. It is also useful for when you are not shooting.

Mum is about to get chemo and the diet instructions are to avoid food poisoning by boiling everything to ******* and don’t have ice cream from a van.
