That’s odd. It’s the second time I’ve heard that in the past couple of days - surely it would be Western Australia rather than China?

I think us going there kept us from having another attack here. Now I'll always be wondering when the next attack will be coming. Sorry but I totally disagree.

I thought that for several years the belief was that man had been in the Americas for at least 20,000 years.

I'm sorry for your loss, Mags. Thank you mate. We still haven't put him in the ground yet.....freaking lockdowns.

I don’t often watch the tennis but tonight’s US Open Ladies final is shaping up to be a fantastic match. For those who’ve not been hit by the hype it’s between an eighteen year old British qualifier who is yet to drop a set and a Canadian who turned nineteen last Monday - neither of whom have played...

Well said, actually. Americans have been busy-bodies even as they first left Elizabeth's realm for the "New World". No sooner than they arrived at Plymouth, they began making life difficult for the Locals. I think it was an inherited trait from the first of those called Englishmen. ( You ...

Thank you Bryn. It still hasn't hit properly yet/ It will probably be another couple of weeks to receive his body/ashes back. It just sucks.

Doing well, another grandson and great granddaughter since you last visited so the rabbits are still in full flow. Getting pee’d off with the current restrictions as we all are but that’s life.

I do see what you're saying, but it's not the reported position of Sage in the quote. I'm sure next year's government enquiry will give a verdict but until then we must wait and watch.

I think we've been vaccinating the over-50s and at-risk so far, not all adults. And one in ten of the vaccinated - the 90% protection rate? - might not find it lethal but they'll be infectious when they catch it. I don't think anyone knows whether all the vaccinated can still spread it around. But ...

If we're to avoid doubling our current death count we need to avoid another surge in cases this year. The restrictions and lockdowns we've reluctantly applied so far will continue to be pointless if the numbers skyrocket again before they're tackled, which is exactly what happened in the run-up to ...

A poor first half by Leicester but a good talking to by the manager at half time and they improved massively and deserved the win.

Surely this is a good thing from your perspective, it shows that Boarder Control are being efficient and doing their job.

Does Trump still have so much control? It's a consistent aspect of demagogues, it's what such groups do when they're led by one. Anyone turning traitor gets ripped apart by the pack as a sign of loyalty. Legitimate debate is led from the top. Given the long-term permanent damage the chap has wrough...

ETA. The last paragraph is probably the only good news to come out of the article.

Actually, Jersey is not under attack and does not need defending, the move is to prevent the French from fishing in the waters around Jersey.

The Loyalists - they don’t like the new border in the Irish Sea. The fact that this has been raised as an issue since the start of the Brexit process is conveniently being ignored.

The Internet can occasionally just fail when it comes to advice. Suitable words to respond to the loss of a pet should not include "That’s a shame. What a pity! Better luck next time", all of which were linked on the Cambridge Dictionary site. "so...what's for dinner then?" No? ...

That was remarkable, it just goes to show the benefit of leaving things be until exploratory tools get good enough. The recovered lump was in one piece when it was found, it's in 84 now.

Just watched our POTUS tonight on a TV special update regarding the Pandemic , he did a good job with his update briefing!
