ADs too cool for air con?

[Nihiloxica]

Here's a new thread for discussing aircon, aubergines, and Goth music.

www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/science/coronavirus-vaccine-tracker.html - summary of where the vaccines currently are according to New York times - there's apparently 140 world wide being worked on with two in phase III trials.

I bet you feel uplifted every time you enter it

I know Mascotte we can even get haircuts.
All 11 days behind England because that makes all the difference.

Either she's realised that she pushed her core voters too far or they want the R rate to go up enough so that they can revert to their blended learning plan.

Who knows and who cares - looks like a panicked reaction to the English announcements, which surely cannot have been a surprise.

I read yesterday that it's suspected the vaccine might not be effective in older people, so they may go with vaccinating the younger people around them to protect them instead. Makes sense I guess, unless it really is a Dastardly Plot to make us infertile.

This was in the Times or the Graun, rather than on Conspiracy.com or similar.

[quote PickAChew]@TrustTheGeneGenie I love your front door. Our 1930s house currently has an ill fitting "wooden" door with most of the varnish peeled off and massive bubbles in the veneer. It's ugly and let's the rain on and the hallway is fucking freezing, in winter.[/quote]
@PickAChew thank you!

Awh no way! Tbh ours is pretty but it let's a right draft in. I need to get a draft excluder for the bottom of it. They cut it right now because they had a brown floral 70s carpet fitted and we've stripped it back to floorboards!

Thanks @Dowser I really do

@Dowser

This is what is in the two Narayani trigeminal remedies There isn’t a separate remedy for tmj but some of these symptoms may apply..as usual with homeopathy you treat like with like

Thank you so much!

Worldgonecrazy I agree about the mask thing. Soooo many people wearing them under their noses, so breathing out from their nostril all over the outside or the mask, then touching them to pull them back up. It just exemplifies the pointless, half-arsedness of the mask situation. We could have had proper public information disseminated about how and when to use them correctly. Instead we had the government ummhing and ahhhing until this late stage and then a mix of incorrect use and social media-judgyness.

I went in a bus for the first time in ages the other day (to Wilko’s in Wood Green shopping centre - the glamour! - to buy toothpaste for fussy child who will use only Wilko’s own brand. Yes, I do indeed makes rids for my own back) and obligingly wore a buff over my nose and mouth. I’d do it in the supermarket if it became mandatory. But I really don’t want wearing them outdoors, just walking down the street to become a thing.

That should be “outside of the mask” and rod for my own back.

Me neither mrsfrumble
Two of my grandsons think it’s a great idea to wear masks

If it gets me out if the house..said the 15 year old dramatically

I’ve obviously failed to translate myself! My comments re vaccine were more my being startled that we have indeed signed off a viable and working vaccine. Ordering and having being two quite different entities.

The emotional toil of this is debilitating. Just drive into town to get drive-thru for the kids and a spin around m&s food hall for me. I didn’t order because I was going to grab something healthier... queue halfway around the building to get into m&s. just struck me as so fucking ridiculous. I didn’t wait and we headed home with me on the verge of tears... then to hear on the radio the 5 mile rule is to be lifted. The kids cheered.

Thank you dowser. I don’t know what I will do. My neurologist wants me on the table to untangle the spaghetti- I’d rather treat as and when needed with opium. 😉 I forget it’s there until I find myself in my knees.

The emotional toil of this is debilitating.

Isn't it just?

No monster queues around here, thankfully.

I haven't been shopping yet, because I just don't care for shopping. I think next week we'll have to venture into town. Kids need sandals that fit.

Vaccines are generally less effective in older people - over 65s have a larger dose of the flu vaccine as the standard dose doesn’t stop them getting infected. So it would make sense for this vaccine to be similar I’d have thought

Decent coffee is not trivial Spudlet, we did a 7 mile round walk for coffee in the height of lockdown as I found out somewhere was open!

The emotional toil of this is debilitating

It is. My mum asked me to pick her up some eggs the other day. Went to the Co-op... queue snaking around the car park. Went to the small shop, same situation there. I just wanted some fucking eggs!! Ended up driving back to my house, getting our eggs and giving them to her.

Agree coffee is not trivial!

A few weeks back a I found a little wine bar open which was serving take out coffee and selling pasta and tinned tomatoes just to try and keep going. The coffee is delicious and I ended up in floods of tears, sitting in the sun by river with perfect coffee. The pasta is good as well, best gluten free stuff we’ve ever had. I’ve been back several times since ad part of my one woman effort to bolster the economy

driving I too have donated my eggs

I get a list from our hermit in laws and I get irrational when I can't get something in case they think shops are running out of food and start preparing for the apocalypse. I have been seen in Aldi asking random people what the Jeff "vegetable pies" are.

I won't stand in long queues - the local butcher and deli are doing very well out of us as they almost never have a queue,and I'm doing a lot online. The butcher also sells eggs, cheese and wine!

I wonder if The Sturgeon is going to suffer for this come the election? A couple of friends, who are usually super duper hardcore SNP supporters, are really down on her for her whole reaction to the pandemic. The schools thing had a definite whiff of them realising that, shit, this isn't going down very well with the voters, better U turn!

I just briefly ventured onto a few threads and I'm amazed how many people feel worried and unsafe because the Daily Briefing had stopped. Like, why? It was utterly pointless most of the time, and after a few weeks it definitely seemed as though they hadn't much to say. I think part of the reason for the Rolling Raft of Ridiculous Initiatives was that they had to find stuff to "announce" each day. In France, Macron addressed the nation like, 4 times in the whole pandemic. (And even that was overkill if you believe my mother...)

And also the "Boris looks so ill" business. I'm not seeing it, tbh. The Bliar definitely looked sick post-Iraq. Theresa May looked (and probably was) knackered through most of her premiership. But I'm not seeing BJ as a man at death's door...

This is the thing I find so draining, that a quick job ends up taking so much time and headspace. Dd needed bread this week. She’s coeliac so it needs to be gluten free. I wait outside the Co-op, queue and get in then find they have none left and then repeat this at Tesco, Asda and Sainsburys. 2 hours just to get fucking bread

All this for eggs! Bonkers.

I never queue, in normal times I do a 180 at the door if ANY shop is busy inside. We’re not in vladistok now comrades!

I’ve used delivery slots or smaller shops - I was just going to look (I swear! 😂) at the caterpillars...

That is a beautiful front door! Lovely colour.

I see face masks are the new Fight Club of MN (very predictably). I so want to start a thread AIBU that I don't want to wear a face mask even though I am shielding as they catch on piercings and also I have a new very pretty lipstick that no one can see and it makes me sad? (Elizabeth Arden, think the shade is rosy btw) I'm very tempted indeed. Imagine!

YY re The Fear- I was actually quite terrified nervous when I went to M and S as it was busy and there was a queue. People (mostly) were staying apart but not everyone and I did have a moment of thinking "is this worth it for cake" but it wasn't just the cake it was the mental lift. And I conclude it was worth it, but still...I do wonder if I am being foolish.

I do suspect it may actually be "safer" now though than the later date when they actually think it will magically be safe for us to be released into the wild as cases are so low at the moment and I suspect in my area they will go up

Yo @Jourdain11 how you doin'????
Was thinking about you this morning having not seen you this thread x

I look at BoJo the Clown and think there's a man who hasn't seen his TV make-up artist since lockdown commenced. No more than that.

My boyf barks that out on seeing a supermarket queue. "I vill not queue for food" (German)
