You've read the article and believe its headline, which appears to be based on a tweet?

I'm not sure what the gulp's for, if not for perceived superannuated dwelling on trivial childhood memories (backed up by some search results in the https://britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk index). It all seemed quite straightforward at the time, anyway, and more mind-exercising than the current arrangements. And base ten units aren't all that new. Ten square chains to the acre?

Do the Spectator's terms of the "SHARE" require you to copy in all the wordage before and after the article?

Spartacus responded at 03.57PM > Today I learnt that sad crab is a spammer And the consequence was, the posts were fairly quickly removed by a moderator, presumably following a report. That still left two other recent spam postings made under the SadKrab id, one of them reported yesterday. What does one learn from that?

When I ping eastdulwichforum.co.uk replies are from 172.67.128.198, so nothing apparently wrong with that. And traceroute gets me to 104.21.1.75, so nothing wrong per se with the difference, which I assume is maybe connected with the use of Cloudflare. It seems as if something idiosyncratic to you is going on at the EDF end. Apart from clearing my browser cache or trying a different browser I can't think of anything else I'd try.

What "census paperwork"? The census is run by the government ONS, who say they "will send you census information by post including a letter containing the access code needed to fill in your census online questionnaire." https://census.gov.uk/your-data-and-security/how-we-will-contact-or-visit-you. Is it that? Incidentally while looking this up I came across "The Labour party?s lawyers have written to the director of public prosecutions alleging that Shaun Bailey, the Conservative party?s candidate for London mayor, used fraud to influence upcoming elections by publishing leaflets headed with fake City Hall insignia." in the 25 Jan. edition of https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jan/25/labour-asks-cps-to-investigate-tory-london-mayor-candidate-over-leaflets, but haven't seen any updates.

I'm reminded of some reports in this thread. /forum/read.php?5,1094009,1097008#msg-1097008

Serena2012 mentioned above and legalalien added: -------------------------- > I think I heard somewhere that the > funding is for a feasibility study > rather than putting in the crossing > at this stage. But I'm not sure where. That seems to me more likely, given the ascribed cost of ?12,000 and the list of project types that can be considered, at page 40 of the South multi-ward forum Public report pack available at http://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/mgChooseDocPack.aspx?ID=6871: 5. Commencing in 2017/18, the scope of the fund has been widened to permit the full range of minor traffic and highway capital schemes rather than solely like-for-like repair and replacement. Examples of the types of works which can now be funded include: ? Footway and carriageway resurfacing; ? Traffic calming; ? Localised repairs; ? Accessibility improvements; ? Footway buildouts; ? Cycle hangars.

I prefer that to causing both unnecessary inconvenience to a string of drivers and the increased fuel use and pollution.

Who are they owned and provided by?

I'd like to see drones used by local authorities for screening house chimneys and other posible sources of harmful emanations. That's assuming there's apparatus available that's small enough to be carried, and that can do real-time detection and location-logging of at least some of the usual poisons and particulates. Any likely hits could then be followed up if necesssary by more detailed and extensive sampling.

OatLatte, you don't provide figures for the number of persons given each of the different vaccines, so how have you determined the relative rates of death reported as associated with each? Do you have any idea what proportion they are overall of the number of vaccinations that have been given? Note too, from the VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) https://vaers.hhs.gov/ Fact Sheet: 'An "adverse event" is any health problem or "side effect" that happens after a vaccination. VAERS cannot determine if a vaccine caused an adverse event, but can determine if further investigation is needed.' and "VAERS accepts reports of adverse events and reactions that occur following vaccination. Healthcare providers, vaccine manufacturers, and the public can submit reports to the system. While very important in monitoring vaccine safety, VAERS reports alone cannot be used to determine if a vaccine caused or contributed to an adverse event or illness. The reports may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable. In large part, reports to VAERS are voluntary, which means they are subject to biases. This creates specific limitations on how the data can be used scientifically. Data from VAERS reports should always be interpreted with these limitations in mind." https://vaers.hhs.gov/data.html

He was involved in the work that eventually led to the eradicatiion of smallpox.

uplandrd2020, I'm wondering why, after you'd started your Strange Ingredients thread /forum/read.php?20,2187353, you then removed your opening post in this 27-month-old thread about shoplifting /forum/read.php?20,1986069,1986069#msg-1986069.

Have any views emerged of the accuracy or fairness of his comments? And would it have been wholly out of bounds for him to make them in his own person? It's perhaps a pity if so, unless he was in the position of a quasi-judicial decision maker.

Your mentions of carrying on doing public-facing work during the non-shutdown periods, and the worry of public transport commuting to the west end along with the non-mask-wearers, and your colleague's positive test, ... all rightly made me feel at least a little uneasy myself. I think people have already warned about not thinking that whatever partial immunity you get sets in overnight. Somewhere there sre the Israel figures showing the amount of time it took for reported infections to drop off there post-first-jab. ISTR, after seeing one set of results, setting myself three weeks leeway after my own jab before feeling on the safer side, though even now I'm still taking the same precautions.

I was tempted by it, but then found the understandable bar on those who've already had one jab -- it would presumably clash with their protocol and potentially mess up any randomisation. I thought it would be useful to pass on, to save anyone else from spending too much time before reaching that dead end, and in case it was of use to those in lower priority groups. Though I did leave them to discover that there are also small possible 'costs' involved, like the several follow-up tests. I'm quite open so far to having a mix-and-match imposed on me whenever the second jab is offered, based on the vagueish preconception that there are benefits in heterogeneity. OTOH, perhaps I've been over-influenced by such as Tim Spector's advice to eat 30 varieties of plant each week. Who knows?

Do you not think that's a gathering as specified in the current regulations https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/1374/regulation/2? "2(6 )(e) a gathering takes place when two or more persons are present together in the same place in order? (i) to engage in any form of social interaction with each other, or (ii) to undertake any other activity with each other;" Do you have any view on any risks of cross-infection in such a meeting?
