  1. they all shrug it off if their loved ones haven't suffered
  2. Like to have seen you having to intubate covid patients as your mortgage depended on it. The frontline staff have shown real bravery and would almost certainly have been swamped without the lockdown. The one they called the super spreader Steve gave it to loads of people when he went to the pub after his skiing hols.
  3. But it wasn't a lot of fuss about nothing. So what if people arent allowed to live as they wish for a few months.
  4. Would make a good knocking shop, so they could give the sheep a breather
  5. You two should join forces to bid on this gem, starting at 200, surely 10x times that when the hammer falls? Check out this property for sale on Rightmove! WWW.RIGHTMOVE.CO.UK 33 bedroom manor house for sale in Troy House, Mitchel Troy, Monmouth, Gwent...
  6. that is some of it, but I feel that the governments unwillingness to implement a military grade complete lockdown of all air and sea ports saw so many imported cases from February right up to today. One of my customers is Egyptian, he phoned about some work in April, saying he'd just flown into Gatwick, no temperature checks. The government seem to have been trusting foreign arrivals to act responsibly and isolate. Crazy.
  7. I doubt it - can't see a virus taking out 2 or 4 billion. Needs a scalpel
  8. Hysteria or not, the world sort of got away with it this time - when the 1918-1919 H1N1 influenza killed 50 million the world population was only a quarter of that today. Medicine has improved, but with four times the number of people around now, there is the potential for a much bigger viral whack to keep the keyboards busy
  9. a comma, an apostrophe blind leading the blind
  10. how many thousand miles of text about covid has there been on social media? - 890,000 miles of font size 10
  11. I will have a read of the article, thanks. Yes 300,000 globally - with lockdown in majority of regions. I don't know how bad it would have been, but the 300 billion bailout soon to be liberated from those with deep pockets, worth every penny. Ok, enough of my verbal diarrohea for now, tommorrow's another day. The dawn of a new error.
  12. the only reasoning, if that's a suitable word I used was if there were just under 1200 deaths a day at the peak and it carried on unchecked the numbers would have mounted up far faster - it seems the lockdown is what has brought the daily death count down to its present 400 odd per day?
  13. that's not the only thing a bit funny about your behaviour in the last quarter hour - how come you think 250k way too high for covid deaths with no lockdown. Erudite armchair epidemiologist strikes again
  14. what a difference 5 minutes makes - I was rather envious looking at your trolley of refreshments the other day, now I remember what it can do to people.
  15. I say it's at least slightly better than donnk's - like a brick wall that's on the piss only by 3 degrees off plumb, as opposed to 10
  16. firstly - if you re-read my reply slowly you will see I only addressed his use English, not the claims of fake news second - you must be game for extrapolating data - with all the measures in place to date there are ~34500 covid associated deaths in UK so far, 468 reported today, the daily death rate having peaked in April at around 1200/day (data.gov). Is 250k that far off with everyone rammed into the locals? Not to mention offices and schools.
  17. you need and old computer and one of those covert bypass paywall fancy bear Russian spyware add ons for chrome. It's behind a paywall
  18. BS that hasn't happened. You can't be as sloppy in your trade or you'd have been down the roaded.
  19. there may be some truth in that one, but I don't buy the blaming him for Savile blurb. Why not capitalize his name, gone feral? In October 2009, the CPS reviewing lawyer with responsibility for the cases advised that since none of the complainants was “prepared to support any police action”, no prosecutions could be brought. The review by the CPS chief legal advisor Alison Levitt QC concluded there was no evidence of any “improper motives” in the decisions by either police or lawyers. But she said the CPS lawyer should have challenged the police conclusions and sought to build a prosecution against Savile.
  20. "Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces."
  21. Interesting how the brits are different to the yanks - if this was posted on a US forum the tree would have been armchair free-climbed and pieced out in a hundred different ways by now. For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice" So I handed him my bottle And he drank down my last swallow Then he bummed a cigarette And asked me for a light And the night got deathly quiet And his faced lost all expression He said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy You gotta learn to play it right You've got to know when to hold 'em Know when to fold 'em Know when to walk away And know when to run You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done Every gambler knows That the secret to survivin' Is knowin' what to throw away And knowin' what to keep 'Cause every hand's a winner And every hand's a loser And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep
  22. now if only they could link the south and north parts of the M25 like this, it would save going all the way around Cairo flats are handy for new motorway
  23. In a similar vein, there are quite a few using Beaver Tree (services, surgeon etc)
  24. On reflection - if you became as sucessful as the current best Total Garden Solutions in the country that may be quite something. If there isn't one within say 70 miles of you it could be ok. If you considered going Ltd at some point it may have to be regional. If you're ready for the super-yacht, why not tap the stock market for capital to expand? Total Garden Solutions PLC
