        Had my second last Sunday….

        I understand that there are zero/none/no/nada/zilch people in hospital in UK with Covid who have had both jabs....

        Why people will not have a jab is frankly so beyond my realm of understanding - but then Brexit is too.  I must be getting old.

            I reckon you’d go over well on TikTok mate. Something cult and weird, record random thoughts that enter your head whilst walking the dog or sitting on the lav, stick a pop song in the background and you’ll be viral in no time.

              Rabid antivax or conspiracy theorists are one thing, but it is the refuseniks on the down low that get me. People who won’t preach antivax but are just keeping their heads down and avoid talking about why they haven’t taken it.

              I could go on a rant here because I have two in my close personal circle and they are making my teeth itch, but I will refrain.

                  Anti vaccine people will select themselves out of the gene pool eventually. The issue is it doesn’t happen quickly enough and they take down a lot of more sensible people on the way.

                  There is a very real scourge of proud, resolute, and steadfast idiocy in the world that does not bode well for the future of the species.

                              I actually don’t have it, but I spend about 80% of my life around inbetweeners who breath it in like oxygen, so I have reluctantly gained some insight. My oldest son tells me the algo works like digital crack. Even for boomers like us.

                                I once had a student write an academic article about his attempt to learn the rules of cricket. It was about 17 years ago and sadly I don’t have it anymore but it was both very good and husterically funny.

                                  These?

                                  You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
                                  When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game

                                            That's one funny thing about British Sports, there is usually lots of Alkohol involved  ;). Pimm's that's Ascot or is it Wimbledon? Nasty stuff, especially when it's hot. Tastes like lemonade… and suddenly you don't know how to keep the feet on the ground. As a student I visited a friend during Eights Week, can't remember ever been more drunken  😶

                                            God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere. Willie Nelson
