"Mummy likes Sadiq Khan" is the most unsettling phrase since "Daddy loves Blue Velvet" E: actually I think it was "Baby wants Blue Velvet"? Either way that movie is a trip

Reaction to Kuennsberg's article excusing Johnson of all lying: https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/n...xamples-267415/ Ospreys: That is a sad incident. Round here, in our nice little market town, we're seeing all sorts of acts of random mindless vandalism lately (no reports of attacks on wildlife yet though) - just things dug up or broken.

This article about beach huts in Walton-on-the-Naze might be one of the most stupid things I've ever read, and I actually read that Laura Kuenssberg article stanning for Boris ( lol, as if that narrows it down )quote:Vicky Gunn, 42, had a busy and stressful life as an accountant when she bought a beach hut in Walton-on-the-Naze in 2014. What the gently caress is wrong with this plagued island of fuckwits?

There are still some places with council-owned beach huts. The ones near where my Mum lives now in Gosport/Lee-on-Solent are all council ones. I guess the 2024 Conservative government will liberate them with right to buy scheme, where they're sold to current renters for £4000 and immediately become worth £100,000 and only Persimmon will be allowed to build new Luxury Executive Beach Huts from then on...

I'm surprised the location of the nest was made public though, often they're kept quiet to avoid both this and egg theft. serious gaylord posted:Would you like to hear about the £330,000 beach huts at Mudeford Quay in Christchurch?

Is there a consensus on what would constitute a good vs bad result for Labour in the local elections? And if there is a bad result, is Starmer at all vulnerable to a leadership challenge? Were a leadership challenge to take place, I think he’d have a way harder time seeing off a challenger than Corbyn had with Smith, but I have no sense of whether the PLP would actually trigger such a contest with sufficiently bad results in the local elections.

I'm not that goon, but I set up a bird feeder cam using an Raspberry Pi Zero W, a 10,000mah USB battery (runs the setup for about 15 hours between charges) and a USB Webcam, running MotionEye OS. It was basically a case of flashing a micro SD card, putting my wifi details in the config and then connecting to it in a webbrowser from my phone to turn on the motion detection and view the images.

Halisnacks posted:Is there a consensus on what would constitute a good vs bad result for Labour in the local elections? And if there is a bad result, is Starmer at all vulnerable to a leadership challenge? I'd be surprised. The mega excuses: (1) Corbyn wrecked labour because of his anti-semitic, racist, terrorist loving, free broadband (despite the party now being far more anti-semitic having booted out leftwing Jewish members, kow-towing to BoD, far more racist having refused to take to task those proven in the leaked report to be racist bullies and all on the right of the party, terrorist loving Starmer - just because murder is committed by people in a state uniform doesn't mean they're not terrorists, free broadband - doesn't seem so daft now does it after over a year of WFH / school from home, many organisations moving to a more permanent use of online conferencing etc instead of carbon-burning flights etc, and lockdowns. (2) Johnson and the vaccine bounce - maybe a bit (3) Corbynistas refuse to back Starmer and insist on either voting for other parties or not voting, and it's all their fault despite the other lot refusing to back Corbyn for 5 years. <IMHO> If the Labour party is to become a party worth voting for in the next general election, it needs to be torn down now and forced to face up to the error of its ways to give it 2-3 years to rebuild </IMHO> (3) It's too cold to vote (4) It's too hot to vote (5) Pluto turned retrograde on April 28th - lasting until October: The long-term, lasting change in the starry sky is now the beginning of Pluto's retrograde, starting on April 28th, 2021 and which lasts until October 7th, 2021. Pluto represents power, abuse of power and profound transformations that we have to go through. (6) Laura Kuennsberg loves Boris Every BBC political article ever are already well and underway.

Everyone else at my work (healthcare) has had their second jab already. Mine is on June 5th. My mum (shielded, mid-60s) had her second jab yesterday. Anecdotally everyone had fewer side-effects on the second jab. Most of us were AZ, I think one chickie at work was Pfizer - she had no side-effects at all despite being young.

The US is giving out 2nd shots according to the vaccination instructions - 2-4 weeks after the first jab depending on manufacturer. The UK has decided to do 12 weeks between jabs which is why the US will have a lot more 2nd jabs done before us.

Had my first on Wednesday, the NHS website makes you book 1st and 2nd at the same time, so mid July I get that. My Mum's 67 and gets her second on Wednesday, think my dads had both already. neither of them are in risk categories. Will give them that, was an absolute Pro set up at the Crick Centre by St Pancras, was in & out in ~20mins.

Hopefully the first one should be sound like I think after a full year of social isolation might be starting to take a toll on my mental health lol.

I know one or 2 ppl in their early 30s/late 20s with both but they all work for the NHS or have severe health issues. And one of my mates who works at Specsavers got hers both done privately by the company.

So wait... Beach huts have no heating, no insulation, no hot water, can't be slept in legally. Do they have toilets? So if you rent one out... You still need to rent a hotel? And they're worth more than my house in some places... Why???????

Hey, Brits are already known for travelling to other countries not so they can see that country, but so they can go to a hotel full of other Brits and eat a fry up with a Carling. Maybe they go to the beach so they can get into their hut away from that horrible sand and water?

Pretty much everyone I know has been vaccinated, and a good chunk of them managed to jump the queue. Meanwhile one of my 50 year old friends can't book on, because he had been removed from his GP's list because he hadn't been in a decade. He's tried to re-register at a different practice, but either they're inept or the pandemic is slowing down new patient registrations, because he can't get his details on the system.

PNGYAKUZA posted:ah sound, definetly going faster than a lot of places but how's the 2nd doses going? I know my mum still has only had her 1st despite being a keyworker. She should have been given her date for her second jab (10-12 weeks after the first) at the time she did her first one (if not, have her ring 119 to sort it out - unfortunately there's no way of booking second doses through the website, it has to be on the phone). That's the other thing that's confusing the figures a lot - the UK prioritised getting first jabs into as many arms as possible as fast as possible for both good reasons (getting 60% immunity to 10 million people is more effective than getting 90% to 5 million, first jabs are easier to deal with logistically so you ramp them up as fast as possible and give yourself time to set up the second jabs) and bad (doing it this way lets you spend 3 months waving the flag about how much quicker the UK's rollout was going than everyone elses). By the purest coincidence, because there's absolutely no way at all they could have known this was the case when they were setting this up, it turns out not only does the much longer interval between doses not hurt the immunity granted by the mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) it actually increases the efficacy of the AZ vaccine that the UK had bet the farm on and that the majority of the UK will be getting.

If through your GP, contact them, otherwise they should have booked you in for the second one at the same time as the first, so call 119 and speak to them about booking it.
