It should give you a number. Took about 10 minutes to get 10k places. It'll also auto refresh every 15 seconds. If it's not the booster page then who knows?

If there's a chemist near you doing them, might be worth just rocking up. The one by me has two queues - booked and walk-in, and they're taking people from both (although more from the booked, obviously).

Apraxin posted:A bit late to the 'old racist stuff from childhood' chat, but throwing mine on the pile: There's another one as well where the blacksmith is to make four nails, two for the hands and one for the crossed feet, and a golden one to put through the heart so Jesus couldn't rise from the earth (I guess like a vampire?) But then a Romani child steals the golden one, and as a result Jesus is resurrected, and therefore God allows the Romani people to steal with impunity. So yeah, all pretty racist in various ways.

Before the Romans crucified Jesus, they needed nails made for the cross. But none of the blacksmiths in town would make them, even when the Romans threatened and punished them. Eventually, they found a greedy blacksmith who thought only of money, and he made the nails that the Romans used in the Crucifixion. The day after Jesus rose, the blacksmith woke up and found the nails had mysteriously appeared in his workshop, as if they had burrowed up from the earth. He was terror-stricken, and hurriedly moved with his family to a new town. But sure enough, soon he found the nails in his workshop again. The blacksmith kept on moving, trying to escape this reminder of his crime and his guilt, but the nails followed him for all his life. After he died, the curse passed on to his children, and his children's children, and all his descendants forevermore, to show their sin.

Aye, hunted was great fun and the highlands bloke was great, as were the two young guys who “accidentally” didn’t clear their email trash with details about a campsite on the coast but actually just disappeared into the mosque community around (I think Bradford?) while the hunters were focused on some random campsite. The premise is exactly as above - anything which would trigger ANPR, CCTV, bank monitoring etc was relayed back by the camera crew. Didn’t the highlands bloke get way too into it and start playing cat and mouse with the investigators? I think he did.

Guavanaut posted:It's almost like the fash talking point of "the system is set up to reward people who lie and malinger" becomes perversely true, like a half-truth viewed through a spiteful mirror, because the system is absolutely set up to poo poo all over anyone who goes in with good faith assuming that as a social service it's there to help them. I get this - especially as the advice usually given in this thread for these assessments is "Imagine your worst day, and make that your every day for the reports" because anything else will be taken as "Sounds like you're good to work then!". I'm one of many that can relate to the pre and post 2012 job centre experience as being very, very different - my first time in 2010 was much more about finding suitable work, in 2015 (or 16, I can't remember) it was much more about making me apply to incredibly unsuitable jobs. (Such as the guy who insisted that I applied for a Barclays job at 160k/year despite me saying I did not have anywhere near the experience and reminding me that I would be sanctioned if I didn't.) I applied, and to my great surprise I didn't get the job!.

Some poor naive bastard's going to buy it for their kid's christmas as well. Absolute scalpers. In a big way, especially cars. My dad bought a nice new car just before COVID and I was talking to him to see if he was annoyed at the timing. He’s not, because the price of that car second hand is still what he paid for it brand new. You can’t get them new at all, because of the chips.

Tomberforce posted:Both my siblings got covid after being vaccinated. Brother was broadly asymptomatic - he felt a bit down for a couple of days. My sister after a week of, in her words, "unbearable pain" was told by a doctor to call an ambulance if no improvement in another 24 hours. Still lost her taste and smell for a month or so. Fortunately she started improving and recovered OK but I'm guessing she may have had a real struggle if she hadn't have been vaccinated. Esssh, that certainly kicks my theory into the long grass. Great she’s ok now!
