Never thought that the Army/military would not be involved in the logistics. They have the manpower, vehicles, expertise and are able to provide the security (if attacked - shoot to kill). At this moment in time Covid vaccine is a high profile terrorist target.

Thank you kind Sir ...

Our nearest Hospital is in Dorchester but the parking there is totally inadequate at the best of times

But last week you said that you could not find time to go so parking, in your case, will not be an issue

I'll not bother having the jab then, its much too inconvenient

Not worth it at your age anyway

[Ray B]

I would suggest that should a person fail to attend when called for the jab and waste a slot, then maybe, without a very good excuse, be put to the very back of the queue. No messing.

Or put in the stocks and pelted with rotten fruit

And the microchips in the vaccine would only steal your bank details anyway. So it's win win.

[oldbluefox]

He could always have some of that Sputnik V stuff the Russians are squirting. They've not even bothered getting the regulatory go-ahead for its vaccines and are launching mass vaccinations before full safety and efficacy trials had been completed. There could be some funny looking Russians walking about in the future if they've got it wrong.

Strictly could take on a whole new look next year.

I quite fancy having one of those chips, if I develop dementia it should enable the care service to locate me before I die of hypothermia.

[barney]

I hope that surly Kay Burley now fully understands that people are fallible and will cut them a bit of slack in future interviews.
What goes round, generally comes round.

I'm a lot younger than you look don'tcha know

They're in Vaseline surely

[oldbluefox]

I didn't see her this morning but I find the woman incredibly rude when talking to certain politicians (not all). Her little asides are needless and just plain irritating although I have noticed one or two ministers coming back at her. They certainly seem to be less intimidated and are giving as good as they take. She irritates me when she refers to 'my viewers'. She certainly does not speak for me. Why do Sky feel the need for a chap with a clipboard to interpret what a minister has said immediately after Surly Burley has finished? Do they think 'her viewers' are too thick to work it out for themselves?
The trouble is if you turn over to the Beeb, the smug Naga Munchetty is equally nauseous in her interviews. I find most of these interviewers see it as more about themselves than the news they are trying to report.
Vicky Young and Katya Adler are my favourites for actually reporting on the news.

We seem to have similar tastes foxy, I do wonder how Laura got her job in preference to the far superior Vicky?

[barney]

Laura is Scottish.
Ticks a box.
Well, two boxes actually.
I always liked John Pienaar but you hardly see him these days.
