Unlinked because I can't remember how to do it, and can't find Help thing.

@CherryValanc I thought the aim was inject with all with microchips and 5g so that we can be controlled. Maybe the hold up is activating the chip? Maybe they cant get it working right.
Has anyone tried the bleach thing Trump was on about? Would pure Russian Vodka work better?

eggandonion · 30/01/2021 12:29

If I ruled Europe and the UK, I'd insist that all over 85s were vaccinated, according to the manufacturer's schedule, wherever they live. Then work down through ages and medical need, and certain employments - while increasing production as much as possible.
I have relations in Cavan and Fermanagh, others in Co Down - people move between supermarkets, hotels etc. My bil lives in Geneva, but they use a supermarket in France.
I don't rule the world though!
I watched a UK news report during the week, on certain ethnic groups who are taking the vaccine in very low levels, often on social media advice by young people. That's worrying too.

That could be it. Bet Bill Gates will get that sorted. However, the level of venom being spewed on these boards about the EU can only be because they want to kill babies. Not with injections obviously - seeing they can't get them.

I think it might be like that plague in the bible. Only it's having 200 toilet roll piled by the door rather than an X and a slaughtered lamb, that cause the Angel of Death to passover.

It's a shame Parazone stopped making the thin bleach. The thick stuff is a bit hard to swallow.

49 years since Bloody Sunday today. The Irish Times have a good article up - little profile of the victim and a comment from the Saville Report. Hopefully they get justice one day.

Thank you, SionnachRua. They were so young; many of them only seventeen.

The EU seems to have lost their collective marbles. AZ is working on a first come, first served basis. They only approved the vaccine yesterday. There is a shortfall in production. It will be rectified. I also looked at some of the threads on here. They were rather nasty and I stepped away.

Strangely, my mum had flu and kept waking up and hearing more deaths being announced. I mentioned this to a friend, who had the same experience with her mum - at two opposite ends of the island. There must have been a flu epidemic, pre vaccine?
So many funerals then, and now. It's very sad.

That article is so sad. Such a loss of life and so many of them very young Sad It has touched me the way the recent commemorative event of the first Bloody Sunday did recently, when Brendan Gleeson stood in Croke Park and read the names and a small piece about each of the victims. Please god that is all now fully behind us.

We're into the last day of January now. Monday is St. Brigid's Day and the first day of spring I don't care what the meteorologists say. I think it will be a little easier as we start to see that bit of a stretch in the evenings.

LifeInAHamsterWheel · 31/01/2021 00:09

It will certainly help @Taytocrisps !

Mind you, the forecast for the next few days is awful.

SionnachRua · 31/01/2021 00:13

We sing a song to Brigid, Brigid brings the spring, Awakens all the fields and the flowers and calls the birds to sing.

^^ the above pop into anyone else's head around this time of year or is it just me? Grin

Taytocrisps · 31/01/2021 00:15

Just you Grin

SionnachRua · 31/01/2021 00:29

It's funny what sticks with you from school...the Alive O songs are burnt into my brain. Must've had strongly Catholic teachers.

eggandonion · 31/01/2021 00:31

I go with st Valentine's day as the first day of spring. But it was almost light at 5.30 this evening.

Never heard that song before! It's a haunting melody isnt it!

eggandonion · 31/01/2021 10:00

I've just read that it is the 37th anniversary of anne Lovett and her baby dying. What a terrible tragedy, the loss of a young woman, her baby would be 37 now. So many young lives were lost to the Troubles and so many to warped social and religious ideals.
And now so many elderly people dying alone, and so many younger people I'll.
I'm a cheerful soul today, I blame the weather.

@eggandonion I'm fed up too. Spent last night in tears and had a big glass of wine. I dont drink usually unless I am out with friends and I dont even like wine. It was just one of those days. Horrible again today. It's sleeting today.

IsFuzzyBeagMise · 31/01/2021 11:55

The cat, who usually likes a stroll outside, just did a mad dash around the garden and came back in, looking stunned. Way too wet altogether!

Iblinkedandiamold · 31/01/2021 12:33

That made me laugh @IsFuzzyBeagMise

IsFuzzyBeagMise · 31/01/2021 12:44

Hey, Iblinkedandiamold the cat went back into his cat bed. He has the right idea!

I hope you have a good day today. Spring is on the way Daffodil

Every year without fail!
IsFuzzyBeagMise · 31/01/2021 14:01

Not me! Bit of a gap in my primary school education, I think!

What's the tune, so I can hum along? Grin

LadyEloise · 31/01/2021 14:01

I could never understand why Brigid of Brigid Jones Diary was named thus.
It's such an Irish name and in my youth there were very few Bridgets - usually the parents of a Brigid were very traditional Catholics.

IsFuzzyBeagMise · 31/01/2021 14:04

There was a Bríd in my class in primary school. I never met a Bridget.

I like Bríd, but not Bridget.

WhatWouldZenoDo · 31/01/2021 16:44

Yes i agree, the character's name seemed a strange choice.
