General Discussion Area / Re: Oxford COV19 Vaccination and Brexit Tax
« on: 27 November 2020, 13:31:30 »
Oh goody, we’re going to be injected with monkey s**t.
 
The Oxford–AstraZeneca vaccine is made from a cold-causing ‘adenovirus’ that was isolated from the stool of chimpanzees and modified so that it no longer replicates in cells.  :-X
Presumably because the 'bugs' are suited to primates and there won't kill us, and it's possible that it's a byproduct of that chimpanzees' chemistry so wasn't readily found elsewhere.

Either way, the notion that we're all going to be injected with 'monkey poo' is ridiculous scaremongering at best.  ???

About the same level of scaremongering as your insistence that the US elections were rigged aginst Trump ???  :)

Seems a pretty high price to pay for some doughnuts .....

He's been a copper since 2008 so not too much pension, which I'm guessing he loses .....

Colin Newell


Never heard of him & certainly doesn't sound interesting enough to Google.
He was on Storage Wars, but then you don't have a telly, so you wouldn't have heard of that...  ::) His family obviously didn't give two shits either as he was missing for two weeks before anyone thought to check his house :-X

Whilst it might not have been a significant passing in the grand scheme of things, I saw it listed in a news feed and thought it worthy of mention, seeing as it's what the thread is about.

I have a telly .. and I've still never heard of that (or him).............

They are a piece of piss to get round for any thief who partially knows what they are doing, does deter the less intelligent ones though  :y



Just pulling it out its mounting base will do that.


But you've got to know it's fitted, and where it is.


For £15 and a cheap SIM card, it's well worth having.

Who cares where its fitted if you have one of these ??

OK, its illegal to use in the UK, but does the thief really care?? he's already breaking enough laws and can recover the cost of this device on one vehicle theft.

Ta :y

Presumably that is wired in :-\

It has its own internal battery but is wired in for that to be automatically recharged. Controlled (arm/disarm/locate) by text from mobile phone, automatically arms if the vehicle is stationary for 2 hours. If the vehicle moves whilst armed after hitting a preset "geo-circle" it sends a text to the mobile (just incase you forgot to disarm it).. if the vehicle continues to move and breaches an "outer geo-circle" then the tracking station is automatically notified and their process begins ... I think that is all described on the web site

Never heard of them .. but I've used

https://hal-locate.co.uk/hal-locate-tracker/

for well over 10 years now, and still very happy with both the product and the service - on the latter - when I got the new phone, samsung s10e, it all worked straight away, no messing, then samsung did a massive update and it all just stopped, no way could I get it to work, and this was on a site 140 miles from home as we were about to leave on the sunday, and I could NOT disarm it ...... Contacted the company and ended up with a techies personal mobile number and after about a bit of faffing he turned it off for me. When I got home I had to phone him ... he re-armed it to cover the insurance agreement. Over the next week he phoned me 5 times with suggestions, none of which worked, and also advised that I was not the only one with the problem ...  on the Friday Samsung did another update and it started working again !!

So, the problem was nowt to do with the company, as proved by the system working for his phone, but all down to samsung, however he continued to try and fix a problem that was not his... that I consider to be excellent customer service.

I see Michigan have now completed certification that Biden won...

"President-elect Joe Biden's victory in the US state of Michigan has been officially certified, in a serious blow to Donald Trump's beleaguered attempts to challenge the result.

One of two Republicans on the Michigan State Board of Canvassers joined the two Democrats to approve finalising the result. The other Republican abstained."

Just had a scoot through Autotrader and the criteria you require really only leaves Jags. As soon as you select RWD, budget of around 9k tops, it limits the choice to BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar, with a small handful of Lexus's thrown in.
You don't want a Beemer, you're not a fan of Mercedes, Lexus are too small, so it only leaves the XF, or a private XE/XJ.
There you go, I've narrowed it down for you, you're looking for another Jag.  :y

Audi A6 Quattro  ?  I know I went for the allroad version, due to my habit of pulling a tin tent, but it has been reliable, comfortable, cheaper than the Omega to run, has more power and handles better than the Omega ... the only "downside" is it runs on diseasel .. but I'm getting used to that ....  :)

I realise that 50% of you lot have as much belief in the BBC as Dr G has in the accuracy of the US Election ... but I found this an interesting and informative article .... we do have some very clever, forward thinking people in the UK...    :y   :y

Pennsylvania, November 22

A judge in Pennsylvania has dismissed a lawsuit from the Trump campaign that sought to invalidate millions of mail-in votes in the battleground state.

In the ruling Judge Brann wrote that the Trump campaign had tried to "disenfranchise almost seven million voters".

He said his "court has been presented with strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations".

"In the United States of America, this cannot justify the disenfranchisement of a single voter, let alone all the voters of its sixth most populated state," the judge wrote.

Interesting data .. seems I have 48 years of contributions, including 8 years pre-1975 for which there is no data ...  adding up my contributions shown comes to around £46,000 !! (obviously with a tad more for those missing years)

Going by my current OAP I will break-even after 79 months ...   6 years 7 months with no increase in pension ... as I started to draw the OAP at age 65 break-even is at 71 yrs 7 months .... not too long to go then !!

My best mate & his wife have 4 kids  3 are teachers at different schools in Kent, all 3 have now tested positive & are isolating one had been told not to inform any of the other staff, unfortunately she hit send to all button when emailing her friend at the school , why try & hide the problem ?

I just can't understand why anyone would suggest to not inform the others.

I don't have a common place of work, I am a field engineer, so work in different factories/commercial buildings daily.  Almost every site I go to insists (rightly so) that I provide my contact information for Track & Trace.

I assume that if one of the places I have worked at discovered someone who I may/may not have been in contact with during my visit tests +ve for BatFlu, I would be contacted as matter of urgency.  The responsibility would then be mine to contact all the places I have visited in the interim.

What possible benefit would there be for an establishment, especially a school which doesn't earn money through production/sales to falsify, or ignore protocol?  Baffled.

For exactly the same reason some headteachers tried to stop teachers installing the covid-19 app on their phones, or told them to ignore any covid-19 app warnings ....

All they are interested is making sure teachers turn up for work, regardless.. as if a teacher goes off sick they have to pay for a temp to cover that place, or send kids home... both of which impacts on their finaces ... so money before health ..... thats the NUT/NAHT philosophy.
You never let me down, the usual, ignorant bollix.
You are a stupid old man, with no idea how things work in the real world.

Course I am ....

Clean and lubricate the mechanism/levers.. make sure the "wind shield" drops or gently pull it down...  there is a system that "senses" if the apature is restricted (think childs hand in the hole) and prevents it shutting if it thinks this .....

I used to get this if it wasn't used much ... get it to start working with wd 40 or similar then cycle it a few dozen times .. all seems to work loose...
