  1. You could try advertising it in the Items Offered section, preferably including the model number.
  2. > Or a movement sensitive explosive. Nitrogen tri-iodide crystals on the keys. Or a computer program which re-broadcasts what's played with a delay of a couple of seconds and/or frequencies shifted by a semitone or so. Neither likely to be fatal but could have marked behavioural effects. What would we be extinguishing, btw? Mozart, Debussy, Joplin, Gershwin, Bilk, ...?
  3. I assume this is two kids trying to do some class-oriented satirical trolling.

  5. Probably best to be ready to phone your bank with your card details immediately this sort of thing happens. Here are two of the previous threads on the topic with some more details. /forum/read.php?5,1972960 /forum/read.php?5,1605875

The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Wearing of Face Coverings on Public Transport) (England) Regulations 2020, SI 2020/592, http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/592/part/3/made, say: "3.?(1) No person may, without reasonable excuse, use a public transport service without wearing a face covering. ... 4. For the purposes of regulation 3(1), the circumstances in which a person ('P') has a reasonable excuse include those where? ... (b) P is travelling with, or providing assistance to, another person ('B') and B relies on lip reading to communicate with P; ..." Whether it's manageable, practicable, safe, sensible. considerate of others, etc in any situation is another matter of course, but at least you're potentially, after explanation, saved the worry of its being deemed a breach of the regulation.
  7. Reinforced, I hope.
  8. > [looks at keano and his red-pill internet history] I've no idea what this means. Is it a reference to www.reddit.com/r/TheRedPill; or (probably more likely) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_pill_and_blue_pill?

Where do the designation and the legal obligation reside?
  13. For the avoidance of doubt or confusion, DulwichBorn&Bred's post of 10:43 is simply a pasted copy of a Facebook page of Kunaal Hathi. I see he's a provisonally registered doctor, which means, if I've understood my reading correctly, that he graduated this year from medical school, and that graduation was probably brought forward in time because of COVID. Normally the next stage in the arduous training process would be to start in post as a Foundation Year 1 junior doctor in August or September. Instead he's accepted the newly introduced invitations to register provisionally for a pre-Foundation year 1 position, again presumably a COVID measure. And so, rather than taking a well-earned post-qualification break, he's been immersed in all the pressure and pain of a COVID ward. All thanks and plaudits to him for that. There are a number of aspects of his post that I take serious issue with, but I'll leave it at that.
  14. OTOH, we are told :( ... "Treating rose chafers is important, not only for the health of your rose and other susceptible ornamentals, but for wildlife too. The rose chafer contains a toxin within its body chemistry that can be deadly to birds, including chickens. The same toxin can be deadly to other small animals when they eat these beetles." https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/rose-chafers-on-garden-roses.htm

  17. > I saw Italians were claiming > COVID-19 had decreased in virility > and mortality in Italy Please read, for example, this non-technical report before grasping at any conclusions. https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-losing-its-lethality-in-italy-according-to-doctors-2020-6. From which ..."We need to be exceptionally careful not to create a sense that all of sudden the virus, by its own volition, has now decided to be less pathogenic," he said on Monday. "This is still a killer virus." ..... "It may not be that the virus itself is becoming less potent," Ryan said. "It may be that we are ? as community and as a global community ? successfully reducing the number, intensity, and frequency of exposure to the virus, which, on the face of it, the virus then looks weaker."

  19. Noticed, en passant, that at 09:50 today there was no queue at all.

That's not many. That's probably from the ongoing joint pilot COVID-19 infection study, with a panel size (so far) of about 10,000 households. And from those, a subset of 885 adults who'd provided blood samples up to 24 May: 6.78% positive for antibodies (95% Confidence Interval 5.21-8.64%). https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/bulletins/coronaviruscovid19infectionsurveypilot/28may2020 There's also an ongoing sampling of blood donors for antibodies, about 7,000 a week afaics. The attached is extracted from the latest (28 May, Week 22) national surveillance report available at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-covid-19-surveillance-reports.
  21. This got me ruminating on ways, other than physically penning it in, of hindering a getaway car's use. Has anyone ever tried blocking an exhaust by sticking something like a sock into it?
  22. I've reported your problem to Admin. I think it's relevant that the OP himself now wants to remove the detail.
  23. I'm not your research assistant or article writer.
  24. diable rouge> The slogan 'Stay Home' was his. Do you have any sources for this? A quick search brings up a fairly detailed article, "The story behind 'Stay Home, Protect the NHS, Save Lives'", https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2020/05/01/story-behind-stay-home-protect-nhs-save-lives/, in which there's not even a mention of Cummings.
  25. I suspect there may be no statute law provision concerning overhanging trees. Whether statute or common law, it doesn't really matter here anyway: the OP is about "high hedges" and the blocking of light. About that, you could start at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/high-hedges-complaining-to-the-council/high-hedges-complaining-to-the-council and then, if relevant, see what Southwark's website has to say.
