Got a callback and a prescription for ear drops which took maybe 30 seconds of her time. Like if I’d gone deaf through not being able to get hold of mild antibiotics like it was the 1700s then that would have been a lawsuit for sure

But as I don't know anything about wine (and they may be doing dry January for all I know/their status might have changed), I'm going to go with the Lush gift box idea or a hamper. Cheers all.

If you're close neighbours, you can always try cooking something for them if you're any good at that. I'd love to just get a tasty meal for free. Maybe suggest getting them takeout one night if you/they would prefer?

"is being urged to" "the Telegraph understands" I think this guy's been down too long in the midnight sea  (I'd join though if he took the SCG & the good part of the membership, but it'd be a bad idea imo. Should have done it last year when the dagger was still being twisted, there's no momentum ( ) now)

The SCG are too meek and beaten down to ever slip the leash anyway even if Corbyn could bring himself to follow through on a new party

I always found it amusing how this picture makes it look like The Emperor of Man is wearing flares, like Horus attacked earth while the Emperor was at the dancing and he didn't have time to change out of his threads before having the fight that led to him getting dumped on the throne. Maybe he's only called the emperor of man cause he was wearing a huge necklace with a male symbol pendant when it happened.

Keep them warm. Shame it's plain though, everyone knows old folks with a blanket over their lap have to have it in tartan.

inflation: In 1997 I was paying AOL something approaching £60pm for internet at the whoopy doo speed of 56kbps. This included a monthly sub and local telephone access charges. Now I'm paying £22pm (or would be if Three weren't crediting my account with £16pm instead of debiting for reasons best known only to themselves!) for unlimited broadband that is typically 50Mbps (up to 80 on a good day), plus £18.50 for a Three mifi (40GB per month) because I am scared to try and change it in case Three get my accounts in a complete mess which wouldn't surprise me, UK customer services being what they are these days.

Crossposting from the covid thread if anyone's interested: More numbers from Plague City, capital of Plague Island (not bothering to paste the graphs, you can go to https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/cases?areaType=region&areaName=London if you want to see them). - Cases slightly down (21k to 20k) - Positivity slightly down (31% to 30%) - Hospitalisations (with, not from) *sharply* down (456 to 366) - Patients on ventilators slightly down (236 to 225) - Deaths (with, not of) slightly up (but that number is slightly unreliable due to reporting delays introducing noise) All numbers are for the last available complete day compared to 7 days previous. So this disease continues to be a right pain for anyone making confident predictions as it manages to do the one thing nobody predicted and just sort of sustaining at one level rather than hurtling skywards or just disappearing. There now follows some completely unjustifiable wild guessing about What It All Means. First of all I strongly suspect the hospitalisations are a red herring caused by staff shortages meaning elective procedures are being cancelled left right and centre - I always suspected that the majority of the rise we were seeing were just people discovering they had it when going in with mince pie poisoning, tinsel allergies, and arses stuck in photocopiers - the normal things that pack out hospitals over December. It'd be nice if they also released a total admissions number to compare. The ventilator number still baffles me because it's stayed just *so* constant. It rose and fell with Delta but I'd have expected Omicron and its wily ways would have found its way to vulnerable people by now and be putting them in hospital and on ventilators by now even if it *was* much less severe for other people. John Burn-Murdoch theorised before Christmas that the apparent lack of severity was because care homes were successfully insulating the vulnerable but that seems wildly optimistic about the state of care homes, and also the rise in the 80+ has been just as sharp as other populations. Having said that, all other regions of the NHS (all with older populations) are showing sharp *declines* in vent numbers despite all being 2+ weeks in to their Omicron waves. It's very, very strange. What I think might be happening is that the timing of Christmas, New Years, and return to work, which of course would see many people mixing with three completely different groups (family, friends/neighbours/colleagues) has boosted up the transmission numbers just as they would otherwise be falling, but I freely admit that's pure Just-So storytelling on my part. The way to check my theory is to track the case numbers in the South West which are still on the way up, having started two weeks behind London (pfft, yokels are always behind the times) and see if they start to drop off at the same time as London does. (If London keeps up this level of new cases until the end of the week, by the way, 10% of the population will have tested positive since the beginning of December)

OwlFancier posted:The little plastic ampoules of fluid seem to be evaporating out of mine, which is a bit annoying. Yeah I have two boxes of the old-style tests from about 9 months ago, now it looks like the liquid from those 14 tests could maybe be combined to make like 3-4 actual working tests.  They have an expiry date two years after manufacture, yet the liquid seems to last for about a quarter of that

josh04 posted:They've been hitting him with this stick for how long, now? There's an argument that it didn't do anything the first 20 times, yes. But normally these things don't stick because the news cycle moves on. Here they're not allowing it to move on, and Boris being Boris they've always got a new example rather than rehashing the old one. It's not going to finish the Tories, but the Tories think it will finish Johnson. They want him gone now.

Not convinced it's going to work if I'm honest. I think he'll just bluster through (*posh noises* well we all did what we thought was right during, uh the, ah, pandemic. As Prometheus said to Aphrodite, "sic latinus Sigmund dictus") The only way he goes is if the party throws him out.

Only if they think another leader would do better. I think he'd do pretty well vs Keith. Johnson may be a politician, but Keith is a level beyond. He's unwilling to commit to saying if water is wet. Johnson will come across very well unless the whole media Corbyn him.
