I’ll admit to being a hotdog addict, much to my wife’s despair. The only real sticking point I’ve had about moving from London to the sticks is that I cannot find Gilbert’s kosher hotdogs anywhere for love nor money.

Not even Ocado? That's where I get them. Given they're precooked, worst case maybe I could do you a care package ;p

Edit: 156 is the number of hotdogs I feel I could eat right now

Fudge for hotdogs. And so trade continues as the economy dissolves.

Edit: I never actually used Ocado before.. holy poo poo, they have them. Also kosher Viennas, which are the same but better..

My wife is going to hate you ;)

Is there any proof of the arbitrage profit thing (other than lol pharma companies)? I thought they said the manufacturing yields at their EU plant were just lower than expected.

Proof? No.

But AZ basically led with a public statement of "sorry not enough vaccine becauseause reasons". Then refused to elaborate satisfactorily in at least 2 separate meetings.

So I'm willing to go out on a limb that the primary factor here is AZ looking beyond the scope of their "non-profit" EU deal. Even if some of the EU response is performative outrage for the onlookers, they are clearly freaked out and AZ has colossally hosed up either its reputation management, its supply chain, or its shady dealmaking, possibly all three

I will eat t'gently caress out of a chicken burg though. But living in Scotland its the only thing they won't batter for some reason they just give you these dreadful grilled chicken sandwiches.

The main food I miss under lockdown is the hipster pub near me and their Korean kimchi chicken burger and onion rings. gently caress.

I mean, it's understandable that EU is mad. AZ (and also Pfizer) reduced deliveries to EU countries, in part for vaccines produced in the EU and in facilities supported by EU taxpayers - in order to fulfill deliveries in other countries without delay (notably the UK). Not unlikely this has to do with profit, given that for some reason those countries end up paying more. Hmmmmmm.

So, to make up for that injustice, the EU naturally chooses the worst take. In a time-honored tradition, the suffering will eventually fall upon poor countries - not only when export controls are in place - but purely because they will probably pay even less.

I mean, gotta make sure nobody forgets what paragons of virtue we Europeans truly are.

To add to this.

A newspaper in Germany was reporting the EMA was only going to recommend the Oxford vaccine for under 65s as it was only 8% effective.

Turns out the 8% was the number of people over 65 in the test groups.

But in these frought times some thought this might be a bit of geopolitical shenanigans from the EU.

That's a very old fashioned style of treatment that hasn't been standard practice (in the UK at least) for around 20 years and arguably longer. I have had Type 1 for about 15 and have never once kept to a meal timetable. Genuinely would recommend your partner speak to the docs about alternative approaches, ad hoc insulin/diet adjustment to allow more dietary and lifestyle freedom is commonplace now, and if this hasn't even been discussed that's very much not good practice.

There's barely any deliveries to poor countries, most of it goes to UK, US and Israel.

Also I wouldn't be surprised if the UK has been involved in bribery of the officials, the UK vaccines are made in the same EU plant but unlike the EU it hasn't suffered any cuts in production (while the eu has had its deliveries cut to about 30%).

If your definition of 'well' is: "Appearing on tv looking concerned and managerial while staunchly supporting the establishment", then Starmer is doing very well indeed.

And for a lot of people, that absolutely is their definition of a Labour leader doing well.

Like when middle-class centrists talk about Starmer being so much more 'electable' than Corbyn when what they really mean is: "Corbyn said and did things that pushed me firmly out of my comfort zone, whereas Starmer makes me feel all warm and cosy."

You're not on a basal/bolus system?

Moving onto basal/bolus does allow you to be a lot more flexible in what you eat and your general lifestyle, which is important to me, so it's good for people to know it is an option.
