  1. Soft, strong and very absorbent.
  2. Instead of worrying about running out of bog roll I just bought a load of rabbits. They keep the grass down and are self cleaning.
  3. That's not something I can agree with. If I did then I should be putting myself forward to take one for the team. No chance, life is a gift from the gods (not literally like), although I do think some don't deserve it but that's for another thread.
  4. I don't know but is it only Sweden who have gone down the herd immunity route?
  5. Yes, we are all heading towards herd immunity and it does sound like Sweden my be getting there quicker which is good news for them. They do have a high death rate though. I had already read that article, the experts who claim Sweden has herd immunity have been criticised by quite a few others. The headline is false as they don't have herd immunity. So yes it comes down to which facts we want to believe. Just because I don't agree with your views doesn't mean I only read what I believe to be true. I'm more than happy to change my views. But since I'm not a virologist I will listen to the advice from people like WHO, PHE,DOH, CDC, ECDC. Suppose it makes me a sheep.
  6. Rehashed nonsense. ? that's only because you don't agree with it. Its science, they run with the facts they have until something differnet is proven. France will be suffering in many ways, a huge increase in cases means more restrictions, more mask wearing, less tourism etc. At least the deaths are staying low which is good news. Herd immunity in Sweden? they are a long way away from the 70% they need for herd immunity, apparently they think it's at 30% which a lot of experts think is exaggerated. I couldn't read the article as I don't subscribe.
  7. There are also other experts who dismiss those opinions. Some expert said viruses don't exist, should we believe him? I'll run with the majority for now as it doesn't negatively affect my life too much of a degree wearing a mask and social distancing. France didn't continue do it and now they are suffering. I don't understand how they can say social distancing doesn't help in slowing the spread of the virus? From what I've read it's passed on from respiratory droplets and it isn't properly airborne yet.
  8. It's usually the grafting that brings the luck.
  9. Maybe the reason is that if we just did nothing and went back to how we lived in January the outcome would be far, far worse than it is now. I don't believe everything the gov tells us I just believe the majority of experts who say that this is a big issue.
  10. Not to mention Amazon, I bet Jeff has done quite well out of it. I remember reading awhile ago that the UK tax avoidance specialists stiff the UK of around £400 billion a year in corporation tax, that would help rejuvenate the magic money tree. Some of them get a rebate which is in the 100s of millions. Nothing wrong with people making billions, someone has to but those £50 million squid yachts, but they don't need to have the funds to buy 10 of them because they don't pay tax.
  11. If the person isolating develops symptoms then the rest of the household needs to isolate. They are trying to control the virus rather than stop it. The guidelines should be a lot clearer though.
  12. Is it a hoax, no. It holds no water just like the flat earth and fake moon landings conspiracy theories. 1 There needs to be a reason for the hoax, flat earth non at all, fake moon landings maybe a super power race but if it was fake the Russians would of quickly shot that down. Covid 19 there is no reason what so ever as it benefits no one. 2 As Mr Bolam said people cant hold their own piss never mind a secret. Someone once said 'Three people can keep a secret if two are dead' There would be millions, tens of millions involved in a global hoax, how long do you think they could keep that up, 1 or 2 seconds maybe. Nope its real and hopefully not as bad as we think it is but since every government around the world is shitting themselves I err on the side of caution for the time being. I guess that those who dismiss this a bollox havent had a family member or close friend die or have had life changing complications due to the virus.
  13. Crazy talk nothing less. If 90% of the population died the other 10% would soon follow by either starvation or some virulent disease contracted from a dirty telephone
  14. Hmmm, I know of two people who 'survived' covid 19 but now have long term illnesses, they are in their 40/50s. One has high blood pressure the other has shot kidneys. The odds don't seem that favorable to me. I don't know anyone who has had something like the flu and ended up on dialysis.
  15. Well one percent of us are Psychopaths so it's no surprise really.
  16. Its the new flat earth, moon landings, JFK bandwagon. Bill Gates wants to track us ALL with his new vaccine? Yep, im sure Russia and China would have something to say about that. One day these people will realise that they have been fighting for a cause thought up by a 14 year old with a twitter account.
  17. And the moral of that story is don't have any friends, life will be happier....
  18. Sad news indeed. I had never met him but he always came across on the forum as I good guy. RIP.
  19. I was thinking today, I wonder if grandad stuck his bottom lip out at wearing a face covering during the war, apparently not, and great grandad didn't either during the Spanish flu and that was well before 1984. Wearing a face mask is not new - but the backlash against them is, say historians WWW.GOOGLE.COM Attempts to invoke the Blitz spirit may not be wide of the mark as research shows... Bloody snowflake generation.
  20. Youre only recommended to wear them while out shoping you know, not while watching the tv with the wife and kids.
  21. You can feed a family of four for fairly cheap with a pizza, crisps and fizzy drink from asda. I agree with the laziness though. Good food usually requires a bit of planning and some effort, I'm more than guilty of a fast food night instead of cooking.
  22. Hopefully it will be cheaper in the long run, less fat people less cost to the nhs. It's just far too easy and cheap to eat unhealthy.
  23. That's the most sensible thing you've said for a long time. You rebel you.
  24. Post that one if you can as I dont think I have seen it.
  25. Just be certain that it is a hornbeam and not a beech!
