Mine have only ever had the nasal spray. We got the forms for it on day one back at school.

runningpink · 08/09/2021 22:15

Oh yes sorry this was the nasal spray up each nostril.
Said they will get an appointment through for the second one. She was too flustered to think to ask questions

The entire RF can get to fuck, but they can double get tae with their continual protecting of a paedophile. They're supposed to be our betters Hmm

I was never exactly a Royalist, but what on earth goes on in the minds of people who think the Queen is marvellous, since all this came about.

I agree I used to really like the queen . I understand that anything her adult child has or hasn’t done is not her fault . But to protect him is unforgivable.

I can't discuss them any more. MN completely banned me last year for posting my thoughts about them Grin and I had to grovel to get my account back. Ridiculous.

ssd · 09/09/2021 08:05

I've been banned a few times too. Usually because I'm questioning the English working class continually voting for Johnson. But I've gave up now.

@runningpink

Does anyone know anything about the flu vaccine this year?

A friend took their 2 year old today and was told this was just the first lot, they would need to come back in a month for the second ones.

As far as I can remember it’s always been one vaccine.

Was that the first time their lo had the flu vaccine?

Just when I think Sturgeon can't sink any lower, she manages to surprise me. It's shameful to mention that there are large numbers of people (women) who are concerned about GRA? Or perhaps she thinks that all these women are bigots? Whatever the case, it is clear she has no intention of having any kind of reasonable debate on this issue. Perhaps because she knows that if any kind of proper scrutiny were given to this issue and the implications of self-ID (male bodied people in spaces where women are vulnerable, like changing rooms or hospital wards) the vast majority of the public would be up in arms about it.
ElephantOfRisk · 09/09/2021 08:51

Shocking from NS. I have found Murdo Fraser to be very consistent in his support for women in this. I find him very genuine. He's one of my list msps. He'd make a better leader than Ross.

Scottishskifun · 09/09/2021 09:08

I'm not surprised by it at all you only have to look at her reactions or responses when she's challenged she becomes aggressive and argumentative rather than discussion or debate.

She won't debate it because she can't debate and it would show all the flaws in it and alert the public to how badly this has all been handled!

That is awful! What right does a FM have to brand a peaceful, legitimate protest "shameful" just because she may not agree with it (for whatever reason) ? The protest wasn't for anything illegal or morally repulsive - as evidenced by several MSPs giving support - so I just can't understand her response at all, to Scottish citizens exercising their democratic right!

I am conflicted about the whole issue, tbh, and am uncertain exactly what difference the proposed changes of the GRA will have to the current situation - but I totally accept both sides have the right to lobby and protest peacefully and legally as they see fit without either side being branded as hateful or "shameful" Angry.

ResilienceWanker · 09/09/2021 09:22

Tbh, I wonder if NS is losing her cool a bit. She does seem to be getting a lot more snappy at opposing MSPs doing their job... It's not a good or professional look, really.

sartorius · 09/09/2021 09:40

I can't remember who it was (a famous politician) said regarding democracy.
"I may not agree with you opinion but I will fight to my dying breath for your right to hold and express your opinion"

Someone cleverer than me may remember who it was

Ianrankinfan · 09/09/2021 09:44

I think she is losing her cool a bit because she is facing more challenging questions. ... and is finding it difficult to come up with answers so she resorts to aggression.

Beepbeeprichie · 09/09/2021 09:45

@ResilienceWanker when Douglas Ross was asking a question via zoom or whatever and NS was in the chamber, his baby was gurgling away in the background as babies do. She was visibly irritated and said “I don’t know what that noise was but I will try to answer”. Uncalled for. Imagine if a male MSP had done that to a woman who was WFH.

ResilienceWanker · 09/09/2021 09:57

Oh yes, I remember that. But to be fair to her, it wasn't actually his baby, it was a hen. Grin It was audible, but I don't think that disruptive, so it was a bit off of the PO and NS to refer to it as question-mufflingly loud, particularly, as you say, it could well have been his child.

BlameItOnTheBlackStar · 09/09/2021 10:13

A hen Grin Grin Grin

Whenisthisgoingtoend · 09/09/2021 10:14

A friend sent me a clip of Tuesdays debate. Shows Douglas Ross commenting on NS statement. She stands up while he’s speaking Douglas says to her ‘I’m standing you Nicola sit ‘ her face was a sight to behold, like she was going to self combust with rage 😂

Beepbeeprichie · 09/09/2021 10:15

A hen 🤣🤣🤣. My apologies for the fake news!!!!

ssd · 09/09/2021 11:27

A hen, thats hilarious. He does have a picture of his son thats so cute, but i cant stand the man with a passion.

Groovee · 09/09/2021 12:06

To be fair Douglas Ross talking grates on me and he comes across as a smarmy ick.

Ross always makes me think of the bloke in your office that is a little bit of a know it all and who applies for promotion and gets it and everyone else in the team thinks WTAF!

He's got no gravitas. I do think the Scottish tories are much better than their south colleagues but they need better leadership.

After a promising start, I'm wondering what Sarwar is up to, they need to have a focussed point imo. I think the tories have that with the GR issues.
