New Zealand: Total Positive Cases 2181, Total Deaths 25, Active Cases 72 IOM: 380 25 6 Guernsey 300 13 8 Jersey 2821 44 440 That 5m includes the sheep. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Back in October, you had them, some explicit others just implied move to Jersey border policy. Life just too short for me to search through all posts to find posts and name posters (also think most do not use real name anyway). 1 hour ago, Banker said: Anyone for a laugh, jet ski knob apologies!! Probably got a few bob for you interview https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/jetski-romeo-who-broke-covid-23252484 What we really wanted to know is after 4-5 hours on Irish sea and 15 mile walk, did he get his leg over! Discussed this pressing point with old man other day, and I was arguing he may have been done in by time got to Douglas.... Good to have expert medical advice on this issue.... Either way girl should have been impressed with effort. 1 hour ago, Annoymouse said: All of 1886 staff tested negative which will also be a huge relief to many. As side note, Jetski man met his famed girlfriend in this place.

IoM for next 6 months looks ideal place to live for a large cohort of HNWI (active and retired). Cool if get load programmers/tech firms over here.

You're right about the general direction of change (especially towards beef) but there are still a lot more sheep (26.8 million) than people (just under 5 million). But the number of people has been increasing as well - it was under 4 million 20 years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Howie was questioned on this point at press briefing fairly aggressively. their latest statements confirmed they knew at between 5-6 but due to low risk decided to carry on with what was probably their busiest day of the year!

Apple 1,338 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Boris on TV at 8 pm, expected to order level 5 lockdown in UK. Just spent time talking with a dentist in London. Not very happy as he and colleagues are not being consulted about vaccination / isolation plans. Describes his local North London hospital as now totally Covid. Sounds horrendous.

They still think it. That's why nom de plume is asking about flu. Edit - I've been arguing with a couple of covid is a hoax people recently. The only ways you can possibly STILL think that are that you are a genuine moron or you are a malicious cunt. There is no other explanation.
