I guess just to remind you when you had the vaccination or something, easier than logging into your NHS profile or whatever

Gotta bear in mind that not everyone can handle 'logging into their NHS profile', especially olds. My dad's tech savvy but mum, noooooo not gonna happen

You're better off not knowing, cos if you know you sit there waiting to be allowed to book a booster whilst everyone else just rocks up to boots or whatever and gets done anyway.

Vaccine question: what’s the point of the little cards? My understanding is they don’t actually count as proof of vaccination for anywhere that matters, are they just like a receipt or in case a restaurant or somewhere wants to check vaccination status?

Care home workers and other people required to get vaccinated have to show them to their manager otherwise they wouldn't be allowed to start theor shift. Care home managers don't have access to their employees' medical records so this was considered proof enough.

I've had to show mine to people I was about to vaccinate as proof that I wasn't part of a secret plot to inject them with something that will kill them. There was a stack of blank cards and a biro right in front of me, but they were reassured enough to go through with the vaccination.

I'm really glad I bought that Father Ted boxset second hand so glinner didn't get any money. Weirdly I don't find myself having trouble rewatching it given his radical terf meltdown seems so utterly divorced from the nature of his earlier shows, I guess because he made it before going completely insane.

Father Ted is ok to watch, its a great loving show made by brilliant people at the time.

Peppa Pig World is actually good if you have a child who's young enough to appreciate it. Otherwise the rest of the park has some decent roller coasters.

I thought it was so if you had a reaction they could log the batch numbers and quickly contact everyone in case of contamination. Wouldn't be surprised though if that was the intent and there is no actual lookup database or infrastructure in place to actually do that.

When you log in to your NHS account and download your covid passport it has the batch numbers and everything else there. The piece of paper is pointless. Like how would they even contact everyone else?

Like a few other posters, I'm intending to Xmas abroad this year, but I'm starting to wonder whether it will happen (keeping my Xmas Eve ocado booking just in case).

BBC says they just added another test we'll have to take... Another 50 quid or something probably? I thought they were supposed to sort out these extortionate costs for bullshit tests? Nah.

At this rate it won't happen at all.

I'm guessing its a paper receipt in case NHS IT fails as it is a bastion of reliability which is supremely well understood and has never killed anyone because the appointment system failed to talk to the letter system and some cancer patient ended up waiting for months for an appointmented which never materialized.

Can't get no luck.

A while back when I had shots for a holiday they gave me a card vaccination record thing. I think it's just so that you can look at it and remember that you've had the vaccination or not. Like I can't remember specifically what jabs I had back then but if I knew where my card thing was I could find out.

I'm glad I've got the little card even if it counts for nothing (at the moment).
Just thinking of all those Windrush people whose paper proofs were all destroyed without being scanned first, and other successes of government IT.
No way do I trust the government on the subject of holding digital records with no paper backups.

Got my booster today. At least it was local this time - 10 mins walk away - not in the Cwmbran stadium which I could only access in under two days travel (there and back) and an overnight stay by pesking someone to give me a lift! (Overnight stay in Newport travelodge cheaper than taxi!)

Separating the art from the artist, innit.

Somebody can be a good writer/musician/actor whatever and also a huge piece of poo poo. I think there's a bit of a distinction between like, still enjoying the work of somebody who is sort of a "solo artist" in that they've written a book by themselves or whatever, but with Glinner it's like, yes he wrote those things or some proportion of them, but they're also the work of like a hundred other people, not least the actors.

If it's like, JK Rowling and she's a piece of poo poo and the work is entirely hers, I find that harder to bear. That's just my own perspective though. you are of course free to enjoy or not enjoy works by lovely people.

That's an interesting case because then you also have the HP movies which exist as their own thing which involved the creative talent of thousands of people and little JKR involvement apart from the initial texts afaik. I've seen the movies and some of them are fun (the Cuaron one at least), but I'd never read the books because gently caress that

Up to a certain point in his career it seems like as long as he had a co-writer, he was able to keep the shittiness in check. Unfortunately once he got to the point that he was making Graham Linehan's the IT Crowd by Graham Linehan, there was nobody cowriting so all of his shittiest takes come out.

So many creatives go this way when their name recognition gets big enough that they can ignore the editors that were reining in their worst impulses. See jowling kowling rowling.
