Heard a comedian suggesting that the Chinese border control covid test might be much more sensitive than LFTs and should be used for unvaxxed folks to get access to non-essential venues, eg, concerts.

Can’t imagine there would be more uptake than with nasal and oral swabs though.

Pro tip from the florist world: put several copper coins in the water collection tank, and it will cut back the black mould growth significantly.

Can also be used to prologue the life of cut flowers in a vase.

That person has the gift of foresight: they posted at 14:44, and my WhatsApp trail indicates I hit it at around 14:50.

Word is there’s prehistoric beasts in the area.

Legend!! Thank you! Going by the shoe size, the hole is approx. 65 x 30 x 15(?)cm. Do you reckon that’s about right?

My carbon road bike make a cracking sound when I hit it, similar to a (seat clamp) slipping () under a rider’s weight. I was out of the saddle on impact, so not looking forward to inspecting everything carefully today…

I’ll find out who owns the stretch of road to file a report. Thanks everyone!

Thanks @Bezzin and @Mr_Smyth! Tbh I don’t remember exactly how far out it is from the kerb, but I believe on the right-most third of the bus lane (I expect the bus wheels created it). It’s on the side of the street heading from Jasper Road towards the Shell station in the screenshot. It’s deep and most noticeable, the few others towards Jasper Road weren’t a big deal.

Thank you, that would be awesome!

Hi folks,

I’d be very thankful if someone who goes by Crystal Palace Park could send me a picture of a pothole I slammed into and nearly decked it. In my recollection the hole is a sizeable (approx) 30 x 20 x 15 cm, large enough to pinch flat both my high pressure road tyres.

IIRC it’s the only one of its size on that stretch of road, in the bus lane, somewhere in the middle, in the area circled below. Sorry I can’t be more precise; my attention was distracted by how close I came to kissing the concrete, and then on fixing a double puncture in the rain.

Thanks!

I have 1% less body fat than I did 51 weeks ago, feeling pretty happy since I indulged with reckless abandon over Xmas.

Aims:
Weight 67.4kg, 17% body fat. Bring down to 65-67kg, 12-14% bf, get more space around my waistband and less space in my sleeves.

Called test and trace and they said to ignore it and I didn’t have to isolate.

Did they give you a reason? Or did you mention any issues with the test?

Am I alone in feeling that it’s becoming more and more difficult to identify what’s reality vs. irrationality vs. misinformation vs. satire where politics and covid-related news are concerned?

That Christmas was awesome.

If that does happen, the population will be so outraged that they’ll do fuck all about it.

What ever happened to those loons who believed in a Pizza Hut dungeon or something? Did that just fizzle out, or did they only care that it was happening under a pizza parlour?

Eternal thanks to the countless doctors, nurses, researchers and other professionals whose lifetimes of scientifically replicable and medically beneficial work has been attributed to N deities over tens of thousands of years. And the complex societies and logistics chains that made their work possible.

More severe effects were exceedingly rare. Out of about 8.7 million vaccinations delivered during the study period, 100 such reports were received by VAERS. They included 29 reports of fever, 21 reports of vomiting, and 10 serious reports of seizure, although in some of these seizure cases, other underlying factors were potentially involved, the CDC team said.

There were only 15 "preliminary reports" of the rare heart condition known as myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart that has also been noted, in rare cases, among teens and young people who've received the COVID vaccine.

Two girls, aged 5 and 6, who'd received the Pfizer vaccine died during the study period. Hause and colleagues noted that both children "had complicated medical histories and were in fragile health before vaccination," and they added that "none of the data suggested a causal association between death and vaccination."

Although pediatric deaths from COVID-19 remain rare, hundreds of American children have died from the illness since the pandemic began.

Anyone on here get that discounted Basso Astra on trade? If so, what groupset is it?

How much are you looking for for the bags?

Pming.

Kafka would approve.

Staying at MIL’s and she’s running my patience thin. Mass family gathering this week, everyone says they’re doing LFTs but she isn’t going to do one, why bother? She doesn’t have symptoms, and if she did test positive then what, what do they all do then?

Ah cheers.

My wife was quite perturbed

Its shocking that they’d send a letter like that.

If you have the energy to send an email, giving feedback/complaining to the NHS would help prevent that letter from being sent to others.

The Waitrose gluttonous Christmas aunt ad is… ugh.
