Buys the house across the street from me. Buys helicopter. Watches Youtube videos on how to fly helicopter. He hops this thing around the yard for about a week. I scream at him to stop being a pussy, jerk the stick back and ride it out. So eventually he gets his nerve up and jerks the stick back. Gets 20ft off the ground goes sideways hits a tree. Send helicopter pieces across my yard. He literally was carrying a full tank of aviation fuel that explodes. He wasn’t buckled in and laying in the yard with pieces of helicopter laying around him. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wsoctv.com/news/local/small-aircraft-crashes-in-lincoln-county/742630301/%3foutputType=amp Edited January 23, 2021 by NoBodyImportant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbie to this Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 Quote "If I had a helicopter I wouldn't fly it into a tree myself, but he chose to and I respect his rights for his property," Aubery said. Couldn't help but laugh at this quote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkedUp Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 Found out this afternoon that my mum has just tested positive for Covid. She’s been going to a physio due to a back problem, but other than that in full lockdown. Due to have the inoculation start of February. Has developed a very high fever since the middle of the week. She’s only 64 but has had two strokes, asthma and a weak heart. ***. Pretty tempted to break lockdown to be with her, either way, but will need to sacrifice my business for a couple of weeks.

I hope so, I’m sure it will but just worried as she’s always been weak with chest infections etc. Especially frustrated as we had the “finish line” in sight.

Nope - my doctors surgery do not converse with the renal unit 5 miles away - belive me I've tried. I have a lady comes round every 3 months to take blood for an Eprex level and the hospital agreed to pay the company to take extra blood during the previous lockdown, but no such arangement has been organised this time .

AVB Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Some details of today’s deaths as reported by the BBC A further 563 people who tested positive for coronavirus have died in hospital in England, bringing the total number of confirmed deaths reported in hospitals to 71,789, NHS England says. Patients were aged between 24 and 99. All except 29 people, aged between 34 and 97, had known underlying health conditions. - full credit to the 97 year old who made it to that age without any underlying health conditions! The deaths were between December 14 and January 30. - this is always what I find weird. When the ‘daily’ stats are reported they aren’t actually deaths that day but often people who have died weeks/months before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to this site https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/deaths It gives you both stats , date reported and actual date of death, theres always a lag on the latter. Theres also a lag for over the weekend deaths for obvious reasons, the quoted daily death rate is never really true, as in '1800 people died yesterday' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) My brother's accountant died this week, he was 59 with no known underlying problems. He ended up in hospital on a ventilator, seemed to recover but then relapsed, went back on the ventilator and died.

ColinSo Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 I live inside the M25 and work in a company with 600 staff. I don’t know anyone that has died of Covid. I do know two people whom parents died with Covid however they both were in their last weeks with terminal other conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
