AnnieS:
Agreed. A vaccine of this type should only be compulsory if it stops spread, which this one doesn’t.
Whilst I take on board Morty’s point that it will avoid them having sick leave, you can also say that they should be banned from drinking or smoking or eating take aways for the same reasons. It starts to get out of hand when you start saying do this and do that to people because they have a particular job.
It’s not quite the same thing Annie … they have to isolate a helluva lot longer , 10 days now reduced to 7 … than they would for a hangover.
Though now you mention it … do you mean it’s okay for a surgeon to be on duty after a few drinks?
Sorry but your argument doesn’t stand up.
Of course Morty, every other person is a surgeon…
And for the record, surgeons and even airline pilots have turned up pi$$ed…Hic!

Just read through the old chat. It honestly sounds like a comedy skit. Professional options and all.
Goodness, this is an old thread and I see I posted on it … I wonder what I said and if I agree with myself. I shall have to have a read.
spitfire:
None of this matters, for folks who have watched the happenings, at the start, if folks had taken things seriously, the situation would not have escalated, and the search for “Normality” causes more implications daily, what will be will be.
Four years and you still have the same opinion, good on yer Spitty

Tell you what I’m thinking …
I was a gobby mare but proud to say I sounded quite clever then … unlike I sound now What a pain I was! I’m a pushover now
This was back in the old days when you had to wear a hard hat on here as things could get quite feisty sometimes.
Most of the insults and swear words have been edited out … it’s a tad gappy in places.

This place was just an extension of the pre internet world when I entered, the mix of all considerations, it’s nice and quiet now, long may it continue, just make the Bots redundant

I’ve still got a stack of unused covid masks in my cupboard.
Wonder whether the charity shop would want them or I ought to hang onto them.

That was Llandudno Morty, and those goats belong to the Queen (or used to) and they live on the Great Orme.
We’re on first name terms…
What about these spotted today?
Not nearly as glamorous or picturesque but just as worthy
Don’t or didn’t belong to the Queen though Spitty, my goats had celebrity status…
They were making a bid for freedom Foxy, who am I to intervene ?
