Is there any relationship between flu and Covid.  Flu is pretty well understood even the flu jab anticipates what next year’s virus will look like.  COVID is new and we are vaccinating against known variants.  Do we know yet whether this will settle down into an anticipated cycle or could there be a more potent variant on the way.  Happy to be corrected if I have something wrong

I haven't read the article but something I read at the start of all this suggests that unlike say smallpox(?) it isn't possible to completely 'get rid' (sorry vocabulary is poor today) of a virus that also was spread by animals?

has it been to the abattoir?

Yeah she is really helpful, if you need her email address drop me a message. 

Is this one of those colour blind or psychological tests?
If so, I'm a poor sighted psychopath because I don't see any pattern.
Edit: I see it, I see the eye. Nothing else though.

Not sure what all the Aussie/NZ criticism is about. Aren't they just trying to keep Covid cases as minimal as possible, until vaccines take up is at a level when a sufficent proportion of the country is safe from serious illness?
Any news of short lockdowns is jumped upon as evidence that they will be under martial law forever, even though our Aussie correspondents regularly post how their lives have been pretty non-impacted for the last 18 months.
Uk Covid death toll is 131k. Aus is 948 and NZ is 26. You can sort of see why they think it's a good idea to quick stop the spread of any outbreaks.
 

Zero covid isn't possible. But that doesn't mean the vaccine doesn't do a very good job. It does.

Yes perfectly fine, always better to hold it until you're on the home straight.

And by "some" you include the original DC panel.  This is what they thought of his evidence on the amortization issue and how it related to FRS102:

We were fined and have to restate.  A professor of accounting said they were non compliant (some say that he had no practical experience and his opinions are worthless), DC1 and our auditors did not find our process to be non compliant.  It is all about the interpretation of normal accounting standards as arrived at by DC and LAP.

Not sure I would agree, although I don’t want to ‘batter’ Morris just seen him gone.
The bigger picture is being lost here. Two years ago Mel Morris was very keen to get into the sale of the club in a deal being brokered by Samuelson. The programme shows Morris entering into some pretty detailed negotiations with Samuelson and a third party representative of an unknown Mr X. The programme, the way it was presented, seemed to suggest that all Morris would have known about Mr X was that he was Hong Kong Chinese (perhaps with a Cypriot passport ?) and with shed loads of money. Whether that is all that Morris knew about Mr X is pure speculation. He could have been being completely duped.
What is less speculation is that there must have been a very strong whiff about Samuelson at that time. I don’t really follow other football clubs news too much, but I do know that at the time (2019) when Morris was speaking to the representatives of Mr X there were many troubling stories circulating about the financial and shareholder troubles of both Reading and Aston Villa. Anton Zingarevich had already been bombed out of Reading leaving them in a huge mess (2014). He didn’t have any of the monies he said he had when he bought the club. Tony Xia’s ownership of Aston Villa in 2018 was regular back page news for non-payment of debts, and he was bombed out in 2019. He couldn’t get his money out of China supposedly, not that it was ever proved he had any. So the two high profile deals that Samuelson was clearly very proud of involved two individuals with a lump sum of money (somebody else’s money perhaps?) but not much behind that to support their capabilities of owning and running a football club. Now for football fans we just get the tittle tattle off the back pages, but in football circles one might imagine that a lot more about Samuelson and his dealings would have been known (particularly by the EFL). 
Morris has often been quoted as saying he wants to sell the club on to the right kind of people. I would suggest he just wants to sell and get back as much as he can. The fact that Samuelson appears to have been involved in the BZI deal as well, some 12 months later on from Mr X, and the well documented issues that were discussed on here, suggests again that the sale might have been more important than the person. I won’t bore you with my thoughts on the Erik Alonso saga. Total fantasist that bloke.
So as a long time supporter of the Rams, I think the current situation at the Club is of huge concern, and based on the programme contents, and the information that filtered out on the subsequent failed deals with BZI and Alonso, I think I have good reason to worry about who might get their hands on our great club in the months to come.

the mods issue is something I didn't recognise and you are right because we can't be trusted to play nicely.
I would like mr popadom or whatever it is really, to put his views over on this site but it would be a car crash wouldn't it.

Just telling you how it is, do you think the moderators don't have enough to deal with as it is right now?
As I say, not all Derby fans wish to talk with Forest fans, that's not why they joined this forum so when they are in a match topic discussing a defeat and you have a Forest fan coming on taking the pee, that usually leads to all kinds of profanity which then a mod has to clean up.
I haven't just sat here and thought what new rule can I randomly create, it's been done for a reason. The alternative which is being considered is an away fans board on the forum. If they don't like it, they shouldn't have had a little more respect for where they were, their fault, not mine.

glad you pointed that out because I hadn't got a clue what he was talking about?

Good on you with your support (I mean it), but I'm not sure what he has done to garner such loyalty.  I can't see a single thing worthwhile that he has done and the debacle of the 'meeting' just adds to my fears.
No ground, not paying HMRC, under embargo, survived relegation by the skin of our teeth, not allowed to bring in players (maybe a money issue not just embargo), the club having no real identity apart from being associated with problems.  It is awful, awful, awful
if we were owned by a foreigner the pitchforks would be out long ago.

dated.
on a similar stance, Raiders of the lost ark,  saw it in a small cinema in IOM and it was awesome.  not the same now, still great but.....

I don't think 12 certificates were a thing for long time, it went from PG to 15 they only brought in 12 and 12a later, and Jaws was deffo a PG.
Alien - gennuinly terrifying.
Airplane! - ok the years have dated it a bit, but oh my god the first time i saw that I was in pain from too much laughing.
The Goonies.
Jurrasic Park - again the CGI might be dated now, but it was magical when it was in cinimas.

My daughter's partner has just out this together, she did a bit of the camera work and appears occasionally.  Hope it raises the spirits a bit
 
 

Anyone who thought that the club would be open and honest about what was/is going on it living in a fantasy land....and the group being the loudest and most vociferous are just a bunch of entitled fools who definitely do not represent me in any way shape or form.
