ngl, that is pretty clever:

quote:

New to the industry, Bourne has certainly displayed ingenuity. He initially did not have the “clean rooms” required for manufacturing medical products and so commissioned a series of inflatable rooms.

He also paid a manufacturer of bouncy castles and blimps to make him a specially commissioned inflatable structure to unpack and decontaminate incoming supplies, which his lawyers described as a room that was intended to be “comparatively contamination-free” but “not medical-grade sterile”.

It'd be clever if he managed to make a medical-grade clean room in his back garden like the A Team responding to a pandemic. All he made was cosplay of the scene where the Government takes over the house in ET.

You can just buy inflatable cleanrooms, those are not particularly novel. Reading between the Graun lines, he just bought those off the shelf

From the description, for the unpacking part, he needed additional clean-but-not-that-clean rooms, presumably somewhere between 'food-grade' and 'medical-grade'. Some ingenuity there is worth appreciating

It's going to be a disaster because it's all powered from a set of sockets in his kitchen and the lines are trailing over the sink or something like that.

A room that is comparatively contamination free but not medical grade sterile is just a room that you haven't shat in recently.

I also doubt that a bouncy castle manufacturer would actually have agreed to guarantee any cleanliness properties of the parade float they built for him on the cheap so I doubt it has any.

Why would it do that!?
Ehh it's not that complicated. You have four classifications, Grade D is the general area, up to Grade A which should be sterile or close to it. Just getting ahold of the equipment to demonstrate the area is at the required ISO standard would be expensive enough to put someone off a quick attempt, and I can't imagine he'd have the QMS in place to get it to MHRA standards. So it's a good thing he had millions of pounds from government contacts instead!

I don't really get why 'the bins' is so prominent in the minds of a certain group of people. For all Blair's faults we did have a Labour govt from 1997 - 2010 when the bins was just not a 'thing' so why this reversion back over 40 years?

It's not about the bins, and it never has been. It's always been an excuse to justify voting Tory.

I just read a Pratchett short story that he wrote around 1970 riffing on the Pied Piper of Hamelin. The Piper turns up during the bin strike offering to clean up the rubbish. The council stiff him, so he takes them away - presumably to drown in the river.

5? Seriously?

It's kind of amazing how the panel at the NHS which has to decide whether or not they can justify spending money on the latest cancer drug (and if so, what will they take money away from) are always portrayed as monsters. Meanwhile the Tories using unnecessary and counterproductive austerity to kick poor people when they're down are just so brave to make those tough decisions.

Yes but people don't CHOOSE to get cancer, cancer can affect anyone regardless of their moral quality, whereas they definitely choose to be poor, or are poor because they are bad people, and therefore don't deserve help.

You're conflating "what a gyp" with "giving me gyp" here

E: it may be that "giving me gyp" should go the way of "niggard" due to the shape of the word, but the smarmy "bet you don't know the origins" argument doesn't work.

Gonna go ahead and bet that most members of the Roma community do know the origins, so imo it should be regarded as one of the Bad Words. Also "what a gyp" has the exact same origin and form?

I actually find it a really hard word to avoid though (& always thought it was "jip") :(
