JD SPORTS....
"Executive chairman Peter Cowgill's total pay, including a short-term salary reduction, reached nearly £5m.
Shareholder advisory group Glass Lewis recommends that investors vote against JD Sports' "inappropriate" pay policy.
The retailer received £61m through the UK furlough scheme and an estimated £38m in business rates relief.
It benefitted from an additional £25m in wage support from other countries where it operates, including the US.
JD Sports was also granted a £300m loan through the Bank of England's Covid Corporate Financing Facility Scheme which was set up to help larger firms through the pandemic."

I am now getting a phone call every day from the track and trace team. Whilst I support the initiative, asking me the same questions every time is beginning to wear a bit thin.
e.g.
Q - Have you arrived from a foreign country recently?
A - Well I said yes the last 2 times you called, but I've now changed my mind - WTF do you think?Today, when I asked do they not keep a record of what I answered previously, the person on the other end of the phone said, "we have your previous answers in front of us, but we have to ignore them when going through the script"
Does someone not realize how counterproductive it is to piss people off. I am a massive believer in doing what is necessary to get us rid of this scourge, but Jesus I could top the next fucker who phones me up….

I got the J and J vaccine today. I feel pretty weird. It might be because I haven't eaten anything yet today or anxiety about side effects. Been chugging Gatorade like crazy.

Stay hydrated, yo! I drove myself crazy about the potential side effects. Don't do that to yourself. Relax, drink lots of water or Gatorade, watch some TV or play some video games.

I guess my vaccine is working… I feel like I can't get warm enough and achy all over. I feel awful.
-
@Filthy I was a bit rough for a couple of days after mine (moderna), similar kind of stuff. At least now you'll have excellent 5G signal :-\
-
I laid in bed about four hours moaning until I got the courage to go downstairs and take some Tylenol. I maybe don't feel as bad as I did before.
-
I feel a lot better now that I took some Tylenol. I think I will be okay by tomorrow. -
First Moderna shot- no effect whatsoever. Second Moderna shot- flu-like symptoms the next day; fatigue, body aches, slight nausea. Totally fine by the second day. My wife had zero effects after both Moderna shots, my son had zero effects after both Pfizer shots. Kind of a crap shoot on what, if any, side effects you'll have, I guess.
Hope you recover quickly, Filthy.

My experience of it was like when you're starting to feel a flu coming on, but for like a full 24 hours. Like your throat doesn't hurt yet, but you know it's about to start hurting. Or you're not totally feverish, but your temp control is weird and you feel a tiny bit achy. I was super tired with major brain-fog too, so I took lots of naps and abandoned my attempts to work from home.
I've heard people who got nothing, and people who were destroyed for a day or so. Hydrate, sleep and it will pass!

Still feel like ass with shit frosting. But well enough for a couple beers. Still waiting for that excellent 5G reception.
