Had my 2nd (Moderna) on Thursday. Definite slight chill all day Friday but nothing serious. One thing I noticed was that they asked whether we wanted the 2nd jab in the same arm as the 1st. Apparently it is around 50-50 those who don't care or mind and those who prefer the other arm.

you mean freedom to be shot at

The man shot by police at SA airport this week legally owned his gun. At some point in the past his guns were confiscated because of his ongoing mental health problems, but he successfully petitioned a judge to have them returned. 'Freedom', ffs

Andy Dalton innit. ;)

...... and two dead in a shooting incident in SA this morning. Routine traffic stop, truck driver shoots cop who (wounded) returns fire - kills driver and passenger, wounds 2nd passenger.

My best friend from college married an Estonian and moved there. Refuses to learn the language and is unemployable, but they have been together over 20 years so something works for them both.

Last night was the 45th mass shooting in the US since March 16:

When I moved here my attitude was that I had lived 47 years in England and if I stay here another 47 years I am still English. I would be a fraud as a US citizen. SA is usually too hot for me (and for my wife who was born here) so she has occasionally mooted moving north or to another country...

Two nations inhabiting completely different universes. Both trying to recreate the USA in their own image. Both a reaction to the other. Whoever wins (it will be the Democrats), the gun problem is one for which a solution seems impossible. Gun sales go through the roof every time a democrat...

We have a sign at the entrance to the store clearly stating that mask wearing is mandatory. A "customer" was asked to wear one, went on a long rant including showing me her 'rubbish' mask that she will not wear, explaining that she has several excellent masks outside but she will not wear them...

In its infinite wisdom, the Texas state senate is debating whether the best way to avoid a repeat of the power shortage is to tax renewable energy supplies. Fortunately, power companies are complaining...

Are these things real? The human brain is the most advanced piece of machinery that has ever existed on this planet, and we need a clock to tell us what day of the week it is?????? I guess that explains Tories.

I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, and hoped that he would settle in in time, but he hasn't. A centre forward should be demanding the ball and be be selfish. He is supposed to provide a genuine goal threat - so get into position and bloody shoot occasionally! He just hides as...

I don't think AMN would want to go anywhere just to be cover. He wants guaranteed playing time.

I don’t like the way my kids are always quick to blame other people. They get that from their mother.
