Coronavirus

[Easy-X]

Much as the media love banging on about it the threat of Covid seems to receded to almost nothingness for most of the people I know - maybe as important as winter flu, less if anything

Okay, so the wife still does her lateral flow before visiting Nonna in the care home but the carers have ceased checking for a negative result. Other than that I hear of "nutters paranoid about social distancing and infection" third-hand only.

Everyone who wanted the poke got it and therefore care little for the anti-vaxxers.

Flu jab for me tomorrow. or maybe not.

It's like being back in the merch. A jab for this, a jab for that. Bend over Sir, you do need that one in your arse.

Oh well, jab and down the boat and off for the weekend as wifie is off for a week end stand up pladdleboarding with her other weird friends. Happily not on the same water I will be going on as newspaper headlines saying 'husband runs over wife in canal boat' would give the wrong impression.

Plenty of rum involved for sterilising the jab from the inside. Now that's worth a dance.

I'm getting the stupid 'there's f*ck all in here' message for the gear grinding thread so I'm posting the fact that I seem to have contracted the full on bastard virus in here.
Its rough as a rough thing.

What's the consensus these days? Is it still the blood type A and AB in combination with vitamin D deficiency and obesity equals the worst possible outcome?

This thread was more interesting when JackButler made it go way off topic.

The JackButler fictional character, whoever that was, was a quite clever invention, I thought. There are people who have 36+ bikes, and they're usually retired businessmen. Plus whatever stories they share have to be framed in the world of the 70s or 80s, to make sense. I mean, of course that whole backstory wasn't true. But it's clearly based on a type of bike enthusiast which actually exists. So, I think, whoever conjured up that one has obviously been around bike enthusiasts for quite a while. That said, a lot of what he wrote was absolute bollocks, and betrayed a bit of genuine underlying derision. The veil slipped a few times. That part where he said we're all hostile submissives, or something... That was weird. The actor behind that character had a grudge. Everyone here is loose and flakey (myself included). I could see how that might annoy one of those types you see at bike events.

I had 5 bikes if you include a LT50 at the height of my narcissism. Can't see the point of inventing a fictional 'twat' though...
