I think it's the 'co-ordinated' part that's the outrageous part there. Which journalist was it that convinced a Labour cabinet member under Corbyn to resign live on air to get a shock headline? It's that sort of corruption that it's okay to get mad at.

You know who it was without even having to google it just by the phrase BBC journalist.

I really feel for all of you desperate to get the vaccine but are too young, because those NHS ads and Facebook invitations to add the 'I've had my vaccine' frame to my profile felt like they were mocking me too.

If you're concerned about which one you'll get, apparently some of the larger vaccination centres are phasing out AZ and will stock only Pfizer and Moderna (or will only be offering AZ as the second jab on specific days). One of the large centres in my county stopped AZ earlier this week, partly because they're open evenings and weekends which is more convenient for under-40s who are now expected to go back into their workplaces. The smaller pharmacy or surgery vaccination clinics are less likely to have the freezers needed for Pfizer and have shorter opening hours.

Smaller centres sufficiently close to hospitals/big centres with appropriate freezers are also getting Pfizer - it's safe in normal refrigeration for 12 hours so they just drop off a load in the morning. This is why I posted earlier about the centre I was at having all-age walk-ins available - when I left at 4 they were already planning to literally start going out to the station nearby to grab people if they still had spares come 6 o'clock.

(Having said that the reason they had quite so many spares was there was a major fuckup and a hundred or so people expecting AZ second doses showed up in the morning - seems like despite fiddling the advice they're still trying to ensure people get the same vaccine for both)

Has anyone had any experience dealing with anti social firework use?
Since about 6 this evening I've had rockets exploding above my house, they seem to be launched from a pub garden 120 meters down the road. 8-9 rockets in the past 2 hours at random intervals, all exploding above my house, maybe 5 meters at most above roof level. Although one went off as I was taking a delivery in and exploded at roof height just above me and the delivery guy giving him a real fright and making my ears ring. I have two cats who are completely freaked out at this point and live opposite sheltered housing for the elderly so I assume loud explosions aren't doing them any good.
So yeah, anyone got any experience with something like this or any advice? It would be appreciated thank you.

No, there's been an issue since last autumn of one, maybe two fireworks being let off on random days usually around 8.30. It stopped around February of this year and I had hoped that was the end of it. I've never had multiple rockets explode above my house in a 2 hour period though.

I've got the quietly annoyed bit perfected right now. As long as posting is still counted as being quiet.

It's literally not an issue medically afaik. There have been a very very small number of cases of clotting with AZ but way less proportionally than a bunch of routinely prescribed meds like the contraceptive pill. It's super low risk considering the benefit.

Iirc most of the issues with countries suspending use have been purely legal on the basis that it wasn't a recognised side effect and could therefore potentially be a viable lawsuit if anyone did get clotting and decided to pursue it.

The tldr is get whichever vaccine is offered as soon as you have the opportunity.
