Epic fail

A doctor nearly won a Nobel prize for his use of Ivermectin in humans in 2015. Over 300 million people have been treated with it since. It has been described as a miracle drug that has saved countless lives and improved the quality of life of many others. The fact this was for intestinal parasites seems to have passed a lot of people by.

Agreed, I only discovered it recently and wish I'd known about it years ago. I reckon if you had something particularly stubborn, cable ties and hairspray would be the way to go.

Coming as this does (for me) at the bottom of a page full of posts about bizarre covid "remedies", this made me blink.

Ha! Same!

Cable ties and hairspray are not a suitable alternative to either Covid vaccines or horse dewormer*

*Not an immunologist, gastrointestinal expert or vet, so could be way off here

Now looking for the inevitable forum thread where Scoble is trying to apply a lateral flow test and failing.

Classic, almost makes me home sick…

The irony of this is that substitute the word ‘Redruth’ for (its neighbour) ‘Camborne’ and that building really would improve the look of it!

It’s a possible fit for any of the tri state area of Cambourne Redruth And Pool, grew up not far from there and it’s never really changed.

No mate, proper whack.

The Education Secretary doesn’t know who Marcus Rashford is.

New arstechnica article about Google's shut down services: A decade and a half of instability: The history of Google messaging apps

So, this is a joke...

But thus is a real email from Google:

Daily telegraph article on Cindy Crawford -

Her food principles can be summed up in four words: “I don’t eat c---”.

Not sure they really thought through the redaction.

I got cake on my 3rd attempt...

It's a good guess, as Roy Walker might have said.

Nope - it was 'crap', which is obviously too crude for tory breakfast tables.

Oh of course, crap. I was thinking, is she gay or straight?

Where’s the blink-tag when you need it?

Umm... The pint Weights and Measures code belongs to Cristallerie D'Arques in France.

Not supplying the UK anymore though.

Emma Norsgaard is looking, different!

Very like Kasper Asgreen, in fact.

They posted a tweet this morning asking who was going to come out on top in the battle between Van Vleuten and Van Der Breggen in the ITT. Except the latter had withdrawn a few days ago.

Who cares, all Danes look the same anyways.

There is nothing like a Dane.

My colleague did a piece on GB News this morning. That is all.
