ThomasPaine posted:Lol the problem is I never got a letter or anything with a username on, just a call from my GP, and the site doesn't recognise any of my details. Yeh it did change on you - I’ve escorted and arranged 30 or so jabs for the vulnerable and it was a pain in the arse with the ones who got classified as vulnerable off of that diabetes algorithm they ran. The NHS app should update almost immediately with your vaccination status, it records everything on the system via your NHS number with the date and batch data on it as well. You should have your card with the sticker on it, if your vaccination status is not showing on the app then you have to get your GP to update your records manually using that card.

Rural Tories are angry over the extended lockdown, I get it because this county isn’t that far away from a huge outbreak but people in tiny villages are FEWMIN. It will boil down to if people hold on to that anger or it blows over when everything opens up.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Amersham isn't "rural" though. It's on the tube map, FFS, the only thing that stops it being Upminster or Finchley is that the NIMBYs managed to get in much, much earlier and freeze it at "small commuter town" size. Now they talk about new development "ruining the character of the town" without ever examining why the character of the town is "every single building is almost exactly the same age, and all of them were built within 5 years of the train station opening", and also about HS2 going through the area. I have some good and happy urban development news. They are unfucking what beeching did to Derbyshire and the first stage is to turn the Chesterfield to Sheffield freight line (goes via barrow hill, renishaw and Crystal peaks) back into a branch line, it’s a “holy poo poo it’s actually happening” thing with stations being built and everything.

I have never seen so many police stations in my life as I have on the supertram from halfway to the arena. Like Sheffield is not a crime ridden city at all and the only thing I can think is that they are hives for football policemen.

Every upper middle class area has a working class estate or two hidden out of view - you can’t expect Belinda and Saffron to clean their own houses or work in Tesco’s themselves would you? that would be simply inhumane.

Jippa posted:Random request. My dad asked me how he could listen to his bbc jazz radio shows away from his computer. I told him to buy a cheap mp3 player (because I thought you could just download the mp3's as podcasts). It seems for some stuff you can't (you need the app on a smart phone. I would make him “mix tapes” yourself for his MP3 player as a thoughtful gift, and buy the cheapest smartphone you can find at cash converters and show him how to download his podcasts via wireless.

Couple of those were bullying pricks or homophobes themselves, and the ones that were not may have been told to put in reports by the nasty ones - this was right at the height of the Brexit debate. Remember, it was the Tories pushing these allegations and never trust a Tory.

The Perfect Element posted:The micro USB port on my s7 is hosed (cables just fall out if I don't position the phone and cable to within a millionth of a millimetre of the right position , as the port I think has been eroded after years of sleepily trying to plug the jack in the wrong way. Micro USB sucks so much) . I've owned this phone for like... 6 years now, and other than the charging it still works perfectly. It’s a £20 fix if you go to the Indian lads on the market/your local equivalent run by Indian lads. Silver surfers at my group ham slam the charger into the port and need a new one every 6 months, while blaming me and hinting I should pay for it because I recommended they get a smart phone while ignoring the fact that they did the same thing to their Nokia’s.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Aside from everything else mentioned, the facial hair seems an influence, moustaches and beards make people seem old now. If you read books from the 1930s and 40s, the campion books especially, they will describe an elderly person and in a modern mind’s eye they sound 90 and it will turn out they are 70. The answer is preventable childhood disease. Rickets, smallpox, whooping cough, measles, rubella, mumps, polio, yellow fever, diphtheria, cholera have all been eradicated in the UK - but it took 200 years from the invention of the smallpox vaccine for even that to disappear.

My dad and I swear to god this is true went to see a witch doctor in Sri Lanka about his hay fever and he was told to wear a pure woollen jumper a size too small for him (he had a 70s sleeveless cricket jumper at home) and god drat it if it didn’t work. Western medicine people say it would be because the wool catches a lot of pollen, and the jumper being too small slightly constricts breathing which would also help.

Guavanaut posted:She's not just on the wrong side of history, she's on the wrong side of science and medicine. Here’s how stupid she seems to me and people can throw this back at TERFs. My brother has Dwarfism, but not the type people think of, his is Proportionate dwarfism and when he was a child he was tiny but externally he just looked small (internally he’s still a mess of wrong sized organs) plus he had issues with his glands so he stopped growing at 7 but was the size of a 4 year old. However, some of his issues were treatable with artificial growth hormones till they could let the testosterone take over. So from age 7-14 he was pumped full of HGH and puberty blockers. According to TERFs he’s biologically 3ft 4 and unable to have children. Which is a surprise to him given that he’s 5ft 8 and has two teenage girls and a newborn baby boy.

goddamnedtwisto posted:While I generally agree (and much as I'd love to see Gove tarred and feathered, it definitely shouldn't be for that) I think the problem gets a lot more complex when you're talking about 80s/90s Tories, who were *extremely* homophobic (Section 28 is only the tip of the iceberg) and of course still very much in the Victorian Guardians Of The Family groove. Gove’s 53 which makes him a young Tory as section 28 was in full swing, most of the other tories mentioned were old enough to be “one rule for them one rule for me” tories during that time. Poor bastard.

Kin posted:Yeah the whole baby thing was my thinking for why folk should maybe be a bit considerate. The folks that are are egging them on to make it louder seem to be folk on the estate wither without kids or with older ones. It's one of those things where they'd probably have been annoyed by the noise a few years earlier but it doesn't affect them now so they don't care. I too live on a council estate, it will settle down once the clubs and pubs open back up properly. People have been locked inside for a long long time and are blowing off steam.

jiggerypokery posted:The whole cocaine situation is damning enough of Gove and his ilk. Verifying citation. I know people who know Gove and the general opinion is that he’s a incredibly competent department head, the policies he may be enacting may be evil but he’s the one you want to work with as a boss. His issue is that he’s a “Machiavellian little bugger” who wants to be PM, the general opinion is if he dropped that ambition and just concentrated on a single civil service department then you would at the very least see decent interdepartmental reforms and the right people promoted like he did at the department of education and department of environment and that’s the kind of unnoticed boring graft that does matter and has been neglected by shitheals like Hancock. Anyway this is going to show my age but the Tory old guard think he’s the 2021 Norman Tebbit.
