D.A.F.C Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Also anyone looking for a job in time being in Dundee give me a shout. Interviews n start dates are next week.That's brilliant but it seems daft that tesco workers actually need to walk round and buy stuff? Do they not get free stuff?If not they should. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be real full fat b*****d Coke. One block of ice. Stir. Drink. Just the ticket. To all single malt fans - bourbon is my thing. I hope you all enjoy your dram of choice tonight - and tomorrow. Cheers P&B. We malties get your bourbon taste eventually. Did you know they only use each barrel once? I'm currently reading Iain Banks' whisky distillery tour book, Raw Spirit. It's good but he's (was) a petrol head and the car bits are a bit meh for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory it's a very decent thing. In practice, you'll just get NHS folk buying stuff for non NHS staff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binos Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 54 minutes ago, GordonS said: Good post. Worth noting what Mark Woolhouse, a professor of infectious disease epidemiology at the University of Edinburgh, said: "Waiting for a vaccine should not be honoured with the name 'strategy', that is not a strategy." It's a really good article. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51963486 I know We have never cured the common cold What guarantee is there we could ever produce a vaccine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When getting the ferry to France and seeing the chalk cliffs, I think the ancient seas must have been like soup to have the amount of marine life necessary to lay down that amount of calcium carbonate.

There isn't one virus that causes the cold; there's loads of them, which is why folk can get the cold multiple times. It also isn't an illness that kills or really even affects folk that badly. No one needs hospital treatment for a cold. COVID-19 is a specific virus and does kills and does hospitalise folk. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyderspaceman Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Bed time in France. Do you know that the French will not be changing their clocks after March 2021? They may end up being 2 hours ahead of UK . Night all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I bought that when it came out but was bored by it. I never finished it.I remember the whole 'story of whisky' pish and his random life anecdotes but for some reason I can't recall anything petrolheady about it. Then again I couldn't care less about cars - I wouldn't spunk on a Ferrari if it was on fire - so maybe I just tuned those bits out. Overall I remember it as a decent read. Not as good as his fiction but good nonetheless.Reading John Niven at the moment. Sublime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 We might be getting a bit carried away, this is not the end of times, just a phase when it's better for everyone if we reduce human contact for 2 or three months hopefully. If it goes well we'll be saying what the f**k was all that about. With possibly some reconstructions of the economy with lasting benefits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesP_81 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I read an interesting article once attacking the vanity of humans calling our age the anthropocene when not a shred of evidence our civilisation ever existed will be present in 10million years and in geological terms it will, if detectable at all, be a thin layer in rock marking the 'quaternary carbon maximum'. I don't think we're capable of truly understanding the vastness of time. I read a quote in I think a bill bryson book that explained it pretty well. If you stretch you arms out sideways and take that as the timeline of the earth from one fingertip to the other, the whole of human history would be wiped out with one stroke of a nail file.We really are pretty insignificant and will have been nothing more than a slight irritation on the surface in the earth in the grand scheme of its history. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buchan30 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I was pondering a question Mrs Poz asked. I said to her that this weekend, I might watch my DVD of the 2013 League Cup final. She asked what other games I could watch in their entirety again. If it didn’t involve St Mirren, I’d go for the 1970 World Cup Final and Liverpool v AC Milan in Istanbul.Spain 4 yugoslavia 3. Euro 2000. The 97 final between juve and dortmund. Del pieros and lars rickens goals are just things of beauty. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
