Fair dos. It´s just that "woman expert" sounds a bit Mr Cholmondley-Warner. Why did I feel it was necessary to mention that the expert was a woman? Fuck, I´m a male chauvinist pig aren´t I?

Some US White House correspondent was on Radio 4 just before lunchtime naming and shaming members of his government for not wearing masks that, in his words, were "the one thing proven to slow the spread". He also said he´d been wearing N95s for ages now. You know, the ones American hospitals desperately need now. The mind boggles.

The other day, also on R4, there was a whole programme that went sort of like this.

1) So these masks, eh? Let´s ask an expert. Expert woman: they don´t work in the way you think (protection for self as opposed to protection of others from sick self) because sciency reasons (no evidence, no training or discipline in use and disposal/washing, risk compensation).

2) How about Joe Public then, why do they wear masks? 80 per cent for myself, 20 per cent for others.

3) Moving on, how can we shame those naked-faced scum into wearing them as well?

Fuck´s sake. If passers-by start shouting at me for not wearing a mask the way they already do because I choose to ride a bike with a naked head I´m going full Howard Hughes. Rant over.

Regarding the economy, surely no Finnish politician or official has said we need to relax measures in order to save capitalism?

Don´t forget the birch branch spanking.

like the swede

Well, they were kind enough to look after us for centuries before losing the province to Russia in a silly war.

The other thing of note in the Hervanta police school bus stop photo posted by FFF is that foot paths and combined pedestrian and cyclist paths (the devil´s work) are fucking massive.

Also, pandemic or not, Nordic folk, if forced to actually talk to each other (the horror) not only stand metres apart but also stare at an imaginary shared focal point on the ground/floor that´s located at a carefully considered distance away from the axis between the two conversationalists.

Fuck them all day long. Still, thankfully they´re being treated to some flak from their own grounded members (sorry, weak pun).

peon

Thanks, I learnt something this morning.

R4 gave Hitchens quite a bit of airtime, ditto Giesecke. The notion that economic depressions automatically kill people seemed to be taken as a given.

Simply memorise "142857" and rotate the digits as necessary to achieve the correct fraction

Thanks. If I´m ever single again I´ll use this to pull a tasty math(s) teacher.

Interesting graph

The bullet points are just wrong for many of the countries listed and the text sets off alarm bells (common sense, masks innit m8).

^ yeah that chart is a crock of shite

The bullet points are also manifestly false.

That´s a comforting read.

Get better soon Gruber.

make some threads nonsensical

This was mainly what I was thinking about when I said upthread that I didn´t understand ignore. It´s like watching a filim you like and muting the sound whenever an actor you don´t like appears in a scene.

pushing home a heavily laden bike with a pizza rack

Time to get some Backrollers then? Fruit, veg, bread etc on pizza rack plus two Backrollers filled to the brim with denser foodstuffs is just about the same amount of shopping you can put in the back of a Fiesta. Or/and:

• Get a trailer.
  
• Get a cargobike.
  
• Convert a discarded foldable wheelchair into a stowaway sidecar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICoIRy_SFyE&t=398s
  
  
• Get one of those two-wheel shopping trolleys with a telescopic handle and attach to rack with a bungee.
  

This is my favourite

I keep confronting them. They invariably say "but I´m wearing gloves".

exact parallel of cycle h*lm*ts

As mentioned upthread, the masks issue makes for a nice game of cycle helmet parallels bingo.

Ah yes, the age-old dilemma. To be The Dude or Walter. I´m definitely the latter and will quite happily shout Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov at the top of my voice until closing time. You must be a The Dude then.

Edit: Donny is not a twat though. He may not even exist.

It hides all of their comments, although not the replies of anyone who responds to them.

I said I didn´t understand ignore. I didn´t say I didn´t know how it worked. It´s a bit like stuffing your fingers in your ears when a twat in a pub opens their mouth no?

fuck, i hope so

For fucking once I managed to be non-shouty and non-sweary and just told them to go out and play, and lo and behold. Maybe I should try this with my own kidz...

Edit: blast, typed too soon. Back to swearing and shouting then.

I don´t understand ignore.

Has he/she gone away now?

Edit: "Gilmorehealth.com is a subsidiary Of The Brux10 Health Trust" What/who are Brux10?

Now go play outside with the other kids.

I did not want to name names but yes, this. Once again, no country owns experts. The postcode of the restaurant where they order their daily dose of suckling pig means fuck all.

Many of us here spelled it the fuck out.

A mere month or so back any suggestion that the UK should perhaps follow WHO guidance (test and trace the fuck out of this, isolate the infected and worst come to worst, lock down) was met with name-calling.
