A lot of the issues with the funding of NHS comes down to having the enormous millstone of debt known as PFI, where they are having to pay over the odds for privately- and shoddily-built premises (which was a scheme introduced under Blair). The NHS is still a VERY "flabby" organisation, not...

Quiz was OK last night, but a lot of the acting was pretty "hammy". Michael Sheen brilliant in his characterisation of Tarrant, as he always his in his roles. We then watched the Youtube video of the original episode of "Millionaire". No spoilers but what they did was pretty blatantly audible!!

As heralded previously, the missus has just given me a scissor cut on top and various grades of clipper on back and sides. Not at all bad - first time in ages that i've had mine done by someone other than a Kurdish refugee - well i don't THINK she is ...!

Yeah, she'll look nice like that!

I'm suddenly getting bombarded with spam about various cryptocurrencies, and i have no idea why! Will never invest in them in a million years! But thanks for bumping this thread - read the first 30 posts before noticing the date was over 2 years ago!

Mine grows like a very thick thatch on top, and gets out of hand quite quickly. Normally have a #4 on the back and sides, blended into a scissor cut and thinning shears on top. My missus cut my hair once (about 10 years ago) - neither of us can remember why - and did an alright job, IIRC. Might...

For the record, BBC News says TBT died WITH coronavirus. They are very careful in their wording at the moment. In other words, he may have tested positive, but it's not necessarily the direct cause of his death. It's very sad no matter what.

people who want me to sponsor them to go somewhere exotic to raise money for charity. I had a colleague who went to walk the Great Wall of China in aid of Myton Hospice. NO - FUCK OFF! If you want to do something to raise money for such a worthy cause, don't ask me to pay for it! Cycle to John...

Has Hugh Laurie's wife/girlfriend put in an appearance - she's luuurrvvley! But i enjoyed the programme in many other ways, too!!

It is quite likely that it will become seasonal, like flu, and there will probably be a vaccine for the most prevalent isolate. But don't forget, even with a tri-valent vaccine (tetra-valent in children), flu still kills upwards of 20,000 people a year. In England.

Watched the first 3 (?) series of The Affair (produced by Showtime) via Kodi on Amazon Firestick. Was quite gripping, and Ruth Wilson was at her sexy best. Anyone know if it is available on Netflix or Prime, as the Kodi system seems to have been locked down and i can't get to it anymore. Thanks!

Oh ... isn't it??!

Thanks for the rant, but can i refer you to the last line of my post, which said "I think that is maybe what they were originally suggesting with the herd immunity theory, but it seems now as though more people might be more at risk than they originally thought." Implication being that it...

It would appear from what is known about acquired immunity to other types of coronavirus (four of them cause about 15% of common colds between them) that the immunity is often short-lived (6 to 12 months as a best guess), whereas chickenpox for the vast majority of people confers life-long...

Absolutely spot-on, Otis! SBT post of the year so far. Herd immunity relies on the herd being allowed to catch (or at least be exposed to) the little bastard at some point. it MAY be that all of us who have had any sort of symptoms in the past 6 weeks or so and who are now compliantly staying...

Nope - but i'm not 89!

Didn't realise you'd succumbed too, Shmmeee. Hope you get better soon

True - on both counts! But there is probably a perceived difference if you're a gobby male Old Etonian!

As if turning your arsehole inside out with norovirus isn't enough to contend with, now there's this. Be the Black Death next year, you mark my words!!

My mum's window cleaner came to do hers last week, at 89 (surprised he can get up the ladder!). He wanted exact money only - she left it on the doormat and retreated inside. You can't catch it through a closed window - get back to it BBR, you lazy git!
