Imagine having the time to have played through 20 generations of one family in The Sims 2. Imagine making the original two members of that family Neil Buchanan and Cat Deeley. Imagine complaining to Maxis there was no technological progression. You've successfully imagined my life
Latest school attendance stats: https://explore-education-statistic...vid-19-outbreak

On 1st July:
10.4% of secondary pupils were absent for covid related reasons, up from 6.4% the previous week
7.4% of primary pupils absent, up from 4.5%
Overall secondary school attendance was 76.9% (not counting the pupils on exam leave), down from 82.4%

Which is why the government is probably going to announce that pupils are no longer expect to self isolate after exposure to a confirmed case

Isn't the tennis player he's mad bottled still a teenager? Oh Piers hurry up and die.

Great line from The Graun liveblog, "In the UK, the NHS test and trace system will be made more “proportionate”, new health secretary Sajid Javid has promised, with double-vaccinated contacts expected to be spared the need to self-isolate."

This man is a danger and it's patently obvious Hancock was forced out because of not being quite as mental The Saj.

Being rich and powerful is unequivocally good, so it's not antisemitic to say all Jews are rich and powerful. In fact, claiming they're not is.

There's going to be a bit of bitter irony coming from most of the boomer generation getting Astrazeneca and the young mostly getting the considerably more variant-proof Pfizer, when the next big variant comes around the flag waving FREEDOM lot are going to be in a much worse position than most of us

Yeah material reality doesn't really feed into politics well at all so they can't handle it, political reality eventually trumps material reality cause thats what they actually engage with daily.

And biological reality is even more confusing and rapidly changing, so we just have to hope we get lucky and covid is lenient on us since the government is totally incapable of dealing with a real situation.

We got very lucky with the 12 week delay between shots, an entirely political decision with zero idea of the biological consequences

Somewhere in an alternate reality Hitler sits up in his little cell, nods to himself and says “if all the Jews are rich and powerful then where does their wealth come from?….”

Not sure if you're lucky or if you're now paying for it. A double vaccinated person might do more to hamper Delta transmission than vaccinating two with one dose.

I'm talking more that the vaccines are effective at all after a 12 week delay between shots. The reality where they aren't is significantly worse than this one.

EDIT wait this is first year undergrad, right? Cos unless it's some sort of special degree then your first/formative year results don't count towards your final grade...

Lol of course

Bridgen is great, just a total mask off piece of poo poo human. His Wikipedia page is fun

"In August 2014, AB Produce, which Bridgen was director of, was warned by the Environment Agency that it could lose its licence if it does not remove a 'urine like' smell from two "lagoons" of putrid vegetable matter on the site. The smell had reportedly been a source of complaints from neighbours for several years"

"Bridgen was criticised[by whom?] in May 2016 for claiming on expenses nearly £25,000 in a single year for staying in hotels in London. He stated that his use of hotels was cheaper than having a flat and was a short walk from Parliament when it finishes late at night.[28] During this time, he did not allow staff to claim for expenses for hotel stays, saying "they come down and work for me two days in London, stay at their own expense down here, and then go back and then work in the constituency the rest of the time"."

He constantly moans that MPs are very under paid despite earning over twice the annual salary.
