I saw CNN's joint interview with Biden & Harris. I think I can best describe it as refreshing. It's likely they won't achieve everything they want to, what politicians do? I guess what was so refreshing was that it felt like they were being honest. Something that has been seriously missing in US and UK politics for some time.It was like taking a gulp of fresh air having just left somewhere stinky.

Strange that this is how the EMA describes itself on its website: "The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is a decentralised agency of the European Union (EU) responsible for the scientific evaluation, supervision and safety monitoring of medicines in the EU." Given that the MHRA approved the vaccine under European law, there is nothing to stop other EU countries from approving it either regardless of EMA approval. Emergency legislation allows for it. So, perhaps you'd like to reconsider your UPPER CASE POINT point?

Thanks RD. I can't believe there are people who don't know about 100's!

And on the 15th anniversary of the death of another football legend, George Best.

Feck ya ☺

I'm happy to pay whatever if it's justified. I guess I'm a bit wary as we had bath taps which leaked a bit sometime after being fitted, during the same job. These did not look like they were fitted correctly and the plumber's mate came and re-fit them. He said the problem was there was a fault with the taps and wanted to replace them. However, they haven't leaked since and that was over a year ago. If it's limescale, does it just require some cleaning RD?

He's proven he could remember the code though, if he did find it.....woman,man,camera...and some others for bonus points and getting them in order.

We've a small leak under the toilet sink which was newly fitted 3 years ago. I'm curious what would have caused it, given the pipework (hosework?) under it is unlikely to have been fiddled with in all this time. It's in a cabinet. Is it likely to be: a) Poor workmanship b) Faulty product c) Wear and tear d) Something else I've asked the guy who fitted it to come and fix it. I'm curious if I should expect him to do it for nothing. What do you think?

Well, it's back. To a finish hopefully. I imagine you've got notifications from Superbru. One 6 nations game on Saturday. Ireland v Italy 3pm

Wear a mask or avoid going close to people?

Walking on narrow footpath with my wife. Jogger running towards us makes no effort to avoid us by going onto the road. We go onto the road to avoid jogger. A panting jogger is more likely than most to be spewing out virus ridden droplets if he/she were infected.

This one then? https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/krays-wanted-rub-out-birmingham-6571035

I read that differently, as in sarcastic.

Just to confirm that they're still predominately selfish unthinking bas*ards, who should not be running on footpaths.

Well, I sort of agree with him that it's a money making scam, for friends of the government. While sitting there I did hear a bit of a rumpus behind me, which featured loudly the word 'mask'. The next time I saw said cleaner, he was 'wearing' a mask. It may have been under his chin, but I suppose I should be grateful for small mercies.
