    Sorry, I never seen this. How's things, mate?

    We'll just sidestep your lies. It's not important.

    How do you pretend to kill yourself? <laugh>

    The lies about you not taking class A drugs for years. You were talking about taking them a few month back on GC.

    You never answered my question. How's things, mate? Can we take it away from here as this is a decent part of the forum.

    The only way out of all this is a vaccine.

    luckily the Oxford vaccine has now been approved.
    Whether the government can cope with the logistics of rolling this out to everyone is another matter.

    Why do they show responsible gambling adverts from BetFred on Dave at ten o’clock at night? Do BetFred customers all watch old episodes of ‘Mock The Week’ when there is no racing?

    Could the cynic in me be right that advertising on UKTV late in the evening is cheaper than peak time on many other channels?

    I was expecting an advert for Betfair to crop up during ‘Spooks’ on the Drama channel.

    Of course, Boris Johnson and Matt Hancock are going to drive around the country will a car boot full of syringes as the government is going to do all the work.

    In the real world, if the huge logistical operation turns out to be successful, it will be whoever is doing the work that you will heap praise upon; not the government.

    There are still plenty of known unknowns with all of the vaccines, so no chicken counting yet except by Covid Cave dwellers.

    obviously Boris Johnson is not going to personally deliver any vaccines but he and his government will set out the strategy to how this will happen.

    amazingly D Day did not feature Winston Churchill landing on the Normandy beaches but without his strategic decisions it might well have not been successful. The record of this incompetent government when faced with making strategic decisions is not good eg the PPE fiasco and then the not so world beating test and trace system.

    I am still looking forward to yet another U TURN from Boris and his cronies regarding schools going back next week.
    Obviously they will make yet another last minute change, but it is extremely poor leadership that they have not been able to make this decision by now.

    Amazing what YouTube throws at you - this is one of Cyc's countrymen who unblocks drains for a living. Sometimes disgusting but also weirdly satisfying, there are hundreds of videos from this bloke <ok>

    Yes, it's starting to get a bit close to home. My son-in-law's mum was tested positive for the virus just yesterday, with no symptoms whatsoever. She's in a private care home in a Munich suburb and had told her son that it would be sensible for him not to visit her over Christmas, and wait until things get better. Luckily he took her advice. When he phoned her this morning she was asleep, but the senior nurse said she was still showing no symptoms at all and was well.

    Thought things were being handled very well until, a short time ago, things went badly awry. As you said, " the best laid plans of.................."

    The delivery of vaccines will be performed by exactly the same people and resources that it would have been no matter which political party was in power. You are really just desperate to keep your Blame Boris broken record playing. Clearly your knowledge of the events of World War II has more holes that a Swiss cheese; but the Left have always had issues when it comes to facts. As the forum’s resident left-wing nutter you never disappoint, consistently demonstrating that loser mentality.

    When Sir Keir Starmer was advocating a “circuit breaker” lockdown back in October, you were all in favour of it. It only came to pass in Labour-run Wales, where it was a total failure. I am struggling to remember how quickly you were on here to criticise Starmer and congratulate Boris on not being stupid enough to listen to somebody equally as incompetent as him but not in office.

    You can pat Boris on the back all you like but for me he continues to make mistake after mistake.
    The latest two, who to immunise first. The elderly are going nowhere but we want kids in schools and teachers there to educate them. Outside of health workers the people who we need desperately to be at work are those that should have been at the front of the queue.
    The tier system, absolute joke which meant people fled the City to go and infect the safer areas. The country should all be in it together as one.
