Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread
I don't know about anyone else, but I didn't do the Thursday clapping for the keyworkers thing; it seemed a weird idea to me and I always wondered how many of the people out there applauding had voted in ways that have undermined the NHS over recent years. This project, on the other hand, is a fanta...

Thank you, Sonic, good to see you here too. I hope you are well.Sonic Budgie wrote: ↑3 years agoI've not sen that stat, and can't help you with unpicking it, although it's very interesting and possibly rather troubling. But I did want to say that it's been rather quiet here of late and it's nice to see you Ruta

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread
I have seen it said (elsewhere on the interwebs) that there are very few cases of Covid19 "in Africa" because "most Africans are under 21. Only 3 percent are over 60". Anyone feel like picking that apart?

Re: Buying an ex-rental car
Sorry Mr P, I'm only breaking the silence to say that I have been out of the car-owning world for years now, so the anxiety about future unexpected repair/MOT shocks/bills is something I'm very glad to be liberated from. Having said that, I'd have thought the dealer should have been honest about the...

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread
@Regulator did you hit "edit" instead of "reply"? Not much to add, except some services will be a long wait under the NHS. There is a huge wait for ophthalmological treatments across London. I know someone paying for her own cataract surgery in North London, and Chelsea & Westminster are rescheduli...

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread
So if someone needed surgery (life-changing but not life-saving), but the NHS waiting list, for understandable reasons, was a year or so, but there was the option to go private except that it would mean a big credit-card debt and going against deepy-held principles, what would you do? (Asking for a ...

Re: TV/Streaming shows
And it had the best opening sequence and music. I didn't see all that many after the first series, so I'm really looking forward to winter evening viewing.

Re: Meanwhile...
Radio 4 is serialising a reading of Elena Ferrante's new book The Lying Lies of Adults. I've not read any of her stuff, although I've heard radio readings and dramatisations - it seems OK, although I can't see what people get so excited about really. Unfortunately the current reading is ruined for m...
