ok so Typhoid Mum did go to my sister's. Didn't stay in the garden which she said she was going to. Sis slapped a mask on as soon as she heard her coming up the stairs.
Then TM went on to my super-vulnerable-maxi-shielding-gets-food-parcels-from-the-council niece. No doubt I shall hear later whether she stayed in the garden or not!

I think the point is that they don't want the people who voted in 2019, they want lovely tory dads to vote for them.

my family has hopped on the conspiracy theory bandwagon, posting shite and spreading misinformation. the latest one posted in the group chat is how deaths have actually increased in the elderly age group that received vaccines. as far as i'm aware, are post-vaccine deaths even being recorded separately? this is the latest thing going around. my mum is in her late 50's, has high blood pressure, but isn't getting the vaccine. my aunt is an anti-vaxxer, whilst being married to a doctor? their diabetic daughter just tested positive for covid.

i really don't get it. wear a mask, wash your hands, if you don't want the vaccine, fair enough, but you're an rear end in a top hat. in a few years time we're gonna look back on this and realise how stupid some people were.

A couple of my US-based real-life friends (age about 70) who have now had the second jab have had quite bad reaction to the second one that they didn't have to the first. Not sure if that might be enough to finish off anyone with other complicating factors.

And do, and will. If you thought that they wanted to lose one more election so they could go full on with saying Corbyn had "tainted the Labour brand" and so all lefties had to be expelled... I wouldn't say you were being paranoid.

Sure but that's the whole point of the labour right, for all they claim to be about pragmatism they are extremely ideologically focused, it isn't enough to win, they have to win by validating their ideological beliefs which are basically tory. Epitomized by the blair quote about how he'd rather lose than win on a left platform.

I’m still sceptical but the government is somehow managing to surpass every expectation in vaccination rollout so far so this seems promising. Just don’t read the replies.

It's still possible all the vials were all full of saline solution.

Any combination that gets the rate down is pretty good, it's the people who are anti-vaccine, anti-mask, anti-lockdown, anti-distancing, anti-contact tracing, etc. who may as well just call themselves pro-collapsing-the-hospitals-and-causing-mass-death.

Oddly enough that seems to be most of them, I've never seen a covid anti-vaxxer saying "I'd rather have 10 more years of circuit breaker lockdowns than the vaccine."

Prooooooooooooobably not - the reactions are mostly self-limiting because it's your immune system going into overdrive when it sees the second jab, which is how it's supposed to work, but it's also self-limiting in that people with weaker immune systems won't give as vigorous a response. However the reaction does include fever, swelling and raised blood pressure and heart rate which is going to very slightly increase your chances of a heart attack, stroke, aneurysm, or other serious medical problem so even if it's only like a 0.001% chance, when you're dealing with an entire population that's going to be thousands of deaths - but compared to the ~2% death rate in those older age groups when they are infected with covid it's a total non-brainer.

run a movie synopsis through google translate several times and then back into english and make them guess the movie

also: pixellate a famous movie scene and make them guess the movie (i had a round get harder and harder and to my astonishment someone guessed american beauty for the last question despite my image having 6 pixels in it)

My wife and I came up with the ultimate music round to a table quiz.

It’s just snippets of songs where the singer is saying the word “Hello”

You’d be amazed how many songs have a “Hello” in them.

Also have your last question in the table quiz be “What was the first question in this table quiz.”
Either make it a pedantic trick question (like the answer was “Are you all ready?”) or a completely fair test of people’s short term memories. (The answer being what was question 1 in round 1.)

One of my favourite ones (even if it is incredibly specialised) was General Knowledge. All the questions were about famous military generals.
