    Miggins got a reaction from uttoxram75 in The coronabrexit thread. I mean, coronavirus thread   
    I read so many different opinions on this thread and I agree and disagree with them in equal proportions. I've been double jabbed although whether or not I will regret that decision in the future depends on whether or not I develop some condition which is proven to be vaccine related. The decisions I have taken regarding my own health have been based on what I have heard and read from scientists and medics. I know that this information can only be based on what we know at present and that experts are still experimenting and learning from statistics as they become available but at present I can only act on what I have heard, knowing that it is an incomplete understanding. No doubt at some point (hopefully sooner than later) we will understand much more about this virus, but at present each person has to act on what they perceive to be the best course of action at a particular time depending on family circumstances. This virus struck quickly and the response was to develop a quick vaccine to deal with the short term problem. How this will pan out in terms of possible health difficulties in the long term I really don't know.
    But that is my point. It would be much better if we could respect each others opinions without resorting to intolerance. Everyone on this thread has an opinion based on experience, mind-set, personal circumstances etc. Conspiracy theories?  None of us (I think) are scientists, experts, medical professionals. We are a disparate group of people, united by our love for Derby County and whilst we put forward opinions, none of us really know. Keep safe!❤️

    At my Grandfather's house the privvy was at the bottom of the garden. To avoid a wasted journey he would stand in the doorway of the kitchen and holler, "Is there anybody on?". There was no flush mechanism on the toilet so you had to take a bucket of water with you. There was a little picture of a ruin on the back of the bowl with the words 'The Parthenon'  inscribed underneath.

    I’m the same with soccer. Star Soccer on ITV when I was a lad, Soccer Saturday on Sky oddly enough on Saturdays. 
    I have never in my life had anybody ask me if I was going to the soccer, if I fancied a game of soccer or if planned watching the soccer on the telly. IT’S FOOTBALL FOR HEAVENS SAKE.
    ...or fitba’ for our friends north of the border. ?

    What is it with this fairly recent thing of saying “so” to start a sentence? It’s creeping in everywhere even on this forum.
    on The Chase, Bradley Walsh asked a contestant what he did for a living. Answer was “ so, I’m  an IT  consultant”
    and what would you do if you won some money “so, I’d like to travel.”    
     
    This really irritates me for no good reason but it’s up there with this modern usage of that much over used word “Absolutely”. 
    are you going out tonight? “Absolutely”  Grrrrrrrrrr!

    A psychologist friend of mine says its not the bridge, its the water, some evolutionary thing. Road and rail bridges do not evoke the same level of feeling apparently.

    The effectiveness in preventing infection drops quite significantly after 7 months so boosting is a necessary component of the vaccine drive.
    We are already donating vaccines to poorer or less well equipped countries.
    It's  a problem that clearly requires multiple angles of attack.

    You know,you can still catch a cold or another normal virus....
    I caught a cold off my sociable son last week leaving me with a slight fever,headaches etc but as such I knew it was just that as he had one too not a reaction to covid jabs.
    I'll be having the booster when it's available,it will be the phizer variant instead of the Astra zenica type I've already had two doses of and I'm keen to get the maximum protection possible so i can continue living my life as normally as possible.

    Miggins got a reaction from I know nothing in Charlie Watts.   
    He was so mild-mannered compared to his flamboyant band mates and very dapper when he chose to be and for me this made this slightly enigmatic man much more interesting than the others. Charlie and the band have made a huge contribution to the music industry over an incredible number of years. I was always a Beatles fan but I thankfully came to appreciate the Stones in later years. I  loved that the family referred to him publicly as their beloved. No greater tribute could be paid. RIP Charlie.

    Love Island could be fun trash TV if they weren't all fake plastic wannabe celebrities. I'd say the last 5-10 years we've tried to promote positive body image and showing girls how a natural look is beautiful. All the women on that show have had at least one surgery. The majority of them have them lip filters. The men have six packs, teeth whitening kits, the same fade haircuts. It's horrible. 
    Get some realistic down to earth people in there. I dont want to see fame hungry people looking for a boo hoo or jacamo endorsement deal.
