Perhaps an increase in shoppers stealing and/or not paying fully at self-service checkouts has prompted an over-zealous scrutiny of customers leaving the store.

Sounds like a ?No?, TheCat ?!! 🤣

Optic - don?t bother editing language out - the forum process puts special character combos over all banned expletives like fuck, cunt, wanker, twat, but allows words like shit and piss. ETA: yep, looks like I?m bang-on there !

A week or so ago, when we had a new daily high of (I think it was) 1,560 I did some basic calcs extrapolating the figure by remaining days to Xmas (345) plus the then total of deaths. From memory it was near 600k. I then reduced to a 1000 per day level and extrapolated that - it was like 480k. Again, I?m going by memory and it was a throwaway at the time, just to work up an impression of potential nos, so I can?t remember the detail - just the sense of the big figures. I hope I?m grossly wrong, believe me. Factors I considered were Govt control and track record (poor), population behaviour overall (poor), population attitude overall (poor), likely take-up of vaccine, trust in the Govt in certain sectors of the population, border controls to date (poor), borders controls likely going forward (poor I predict), new variances that cause either increased infections or higher mortality, and finally a (perhaps negative) viewpoint that little will change before Xmas with regard to my list of reasons. I?m no statistician and it?s my take on it I concede, but that?s my prediction. Like I say, I hope I?m wrong and my prediction can be shot to bits all the way up to Xmas - please do ! Luckily/unfortunately, we?ll get a chance to validate the prediction one way or the other in December. The wronger I am, the happier I?ll be (assuming the actual figure is lower than my prediction !). I?m happy to take hits for what I didn?t consider or have overlooked, and I may be informed by other info and refresh my view before then - IF I see something useful to consider. By the way I?m an optimist, though it may not sound like it !

...and perhaps that?s why BoJo avoids Kier?s questions. We?re heading for 400-500,000 deaths by Xmas IMO, and Kier?s suggestions to date (if acted upon) would have significantly reduced that.

Haha WoD, not sure if everyone does actually know ! Anyway, I suspect a 98yr old lively lady would not appreciate my abstractions staring at her all day, in fact they may drive her mad !!

Well... I did put a cute little ??? after my assumption of what day it was....! 🤣😭 Spartacus Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > KidKruger Wrote: > -------------------------------------------------- > ----- > > I heard Kier, during yesterday?s (?)

Sounds great - if he interested in local stories from before my time !

I heard Kier, during yesterday?s (?) PMQs, asking why BoJo had not followed the Home Sec?s suggestion to close/restrict borders last March 2020. BoJo literally didn?t answer the question, he just blagged on about how the UK has ?one of the most stringent pandemic border controls in the world of any nation? (it hasn?t). The gall of it, what?s the point of PMQs if he ignores what he?s asked ?!

Congratulations - great result !!

Better than what ?! I?d say net zero change for me as it was a low-impact experience. Thanks for asking though ! Guess what, there?s a pandemic, it?s killed a lot of people (possibly 400,000 by Xmas), unnecessary journeys are ill-advised. Some people don?t get the message even after being reminded already. When you remind them again, you don?t get some kind of thrill (I don?t. Perhaps you would - else why would think someone else would ?), it?s just sensible advice. peckman01 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Do you feel better now after just re-quoting > someone else an hour later?

Absolutely. Threatening someone you?re about to whack is patently stupid.

DuncanW - Yeah whatever you want to beat yourself off to mate.

If I wanted to meet you privately I would already have PM?d you. Or anyone else. Why do you think I need reminding of what I?m already capable of doing ? I?ve threatened no violence, so cut the drivel. I could repeat what I typed above, but it?s there already. Pretty clear. No need to conflate or extrapolate my words, but thanks for the offer, I think !

Sometimes hairs can?t be split any further.

Ha ha - glad you got it sorted / improved, good for you. Don?t worry about the ?racist? chant, I got the same accusation a couple of days ago (I think by one of the same on this thread). Don?t let it put you off using the forum, there?s nice people not all idiots. I?m sure these people wouldn?t say it to your face if you were sat down in a pub, cos they know they?d run the risk of getting their face filled-in. They would from me anyway. chrisb0702 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Thanks Nigello, there seems to be a lot of mind > reading and subsequent assumptions about my > character which is I don?t think is particular > fair but that?s the perils of posting on a forum. > Just to clarify a few things: > > ?

Everyone has their limitations Duncan, don't be hard on yourself. I don't need answers for whatever drivel accusation you concoct !! (laughing emoji goes here !)

Trump being dumb is an incorrect observation. He didn't take top job to do something for the country, it was all about him, by calculation. He knew Covid was serious (he has advisors including Fauchi) but was either not interested or too inexperienced to do something about it. The lies he told (@ 41,000+ ?) were not accidental slips of the tongue, he was trying to mislead and manipulate people. The fact that he doesn't know capitals of other countries etc, is just because he's not interested, he doesn't care. He is a narcissist tho.
