Re: Twitter watch

I have the white-collar version - my job title is embedded as the first part of my office postcode. Not that I've been anywhere near the place for months.

Re: UK politics

That last post hasn't aged well, has it? I'm not going to get back into that particular discussion just yet. In the meantime, here's what FPTP politics and opposition infighting does for you. My local town council has just swung from strictly non-political (they were all Conservatives - a bonus poin...

Re: Meanwhile...

One of my colleagues has a friend who has a senior position in one of the hospitals. Apparently he's not a good patient. (I'm being diplomatic). Meanwhile... I've got to have a call with a colleague on Sunday in hopes that we'll know whether or not I've got to ask people to make arrangements for a b...

That's what [insert catchup service of choice] is for.

We didn't watch Taskmaster last night. And we're still catching up on Luther and Elizabeth R. And Blackadder.

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread

I'm hoping to see some sun over the winter. Nothing is booked beyond June (English Channel coast) and I'm not expecting to be able to get somewhere I actually want to go over the summer.

Yesterday evening, Chesham town hall.

The injection site is a little sore, and I'm feeling a bit groggy today - but nothing especially material.

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread

I suspect it's a combination of cabin fever, being very run down (working like this is tiring anyway, let alone when you've got a team to run and some difficult issues to deal with) and the usual MH issues - winter-related and regular. The cough is much better. I'll see how I feel in the morning, bu...

Whatever it is, it's not that. Negative result back this morning.

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread

I've had taste and smell problems on and off for a while. Yesterday I felt awful, but nothing really developed. This morning I started coughing, so I've been for a test and am waiting on results. If it turns I have been infected, I haven't the faintest idea how - I've barely been near other people e...

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread

From my GP's website: "We will be administering the first COVID-19 vaccinations (Pfizer BioNTech) to 975 of our most vulnerable patients from Weds 6th January, at Chesham Town Hall. NHS England has advised that our initial priority is to vaccinate those who are aged 80 years old and older. However, ...

Re: Any thoughts of an alternative to endomondo?

Endomondo also did PB tracking over time much better than anyone else - on the desktop version anyway. Which for someone who has spent the year running and losing weight rather than cycling was a boost. UA's MapMyRide etc is shit for me, but it's ok for route plotting. I've got a Garmin watch so I'm...

Two candidates:

I don't know if they've always had branded retail outlets, but if so Raleigh (1880s) might have some sort of a claim.
