Vinny and Jules are basically the same person right?

Is there something about putting the year of your birth at the end of your username that signposts you as being a handbag-clutching pillock?

    What’s the top line summary of that article Zackster?

    Under the pump at the coalface so don’t have time to read unfortch.

      hugopal nah ours is just a sensible view held by two thoughtful people .. ain’t that so Vinny?!

          Smallman1 We’ll never know for sure, but it almost certainly came from the Wuhan lab and was accidentally released via the Chinese being far less advanced than the Western World thinks they are.

            I am 100% convinced it came from that lab and I’m genuinely amazed that the theory was dismissed so flippantly for so long

              Jules72 what advantage are you and vinny getting from the present situation I wonder? Are you both on furlough?

                  hugopal No. I’ve probably worked harder over the past 15 months than I have at any other time in my career.

                  No advantage whatsoever, short of caring for my fellow humans, and wanting what’s collectively best for our species and planet. I didn’t claim to have the right answer above. I asked a question which neither you nor Alistair have bothered to answer, but don’t let that get in the way of your snide little comments.

                  Fucking idiot.

                      Hugo, are you in Germany or the UK these days?

                        Haha, yeah right.

                        Your Nobel Peace Prize is in the post.

                            zackster We are also completely back to normal in the US.

                            Mass shootings and police brutality back in business?

                                zackster Loads of people have had a vaccine shot by now and most people seem pretty carefree in general.

                                They’ve been slowly starting to open some things up again, e.g. as of today outdoor restaurants open without a test, indoor restaurants and gyms open with a test.

                                In theory outdoor and indoor events with more people should also now be possible, but no parties really seem to have been announced yet. Not sure if they’ll still unnecessarily require people to wear the stupid masks either; last summer they did.

                                So sadly it’s still not completely back to normal here with the amount of restrictions and regulations in place.
