Aye, no problem then, as Scotland is well known for its overwhelmingly young population and excellent physical fitness and to top it all, the lowest bmi in the western world. Well, not really. Do you ever wonder why there's queues outside chippies and Greggs every lunchtime? I doubt a health food shop has the same problem. We passed a High School in Edinburgh the other day at lunchtime. I can only assume there's no school lunches at that one, as the queues at the nearby shops looked like UN aid operations in Ethiopia. (Well, ok, slight exaggeration, but you get the picture.) Give it 20 years and Scotland will be pressing the Commonwealth Games mob to include sumo wrestling as a medal sport. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wont need an exemption because the events campus becomes a UN territory at that point and isnt strictly subject to Scottish laws. 8 minutes ago, Jan Vojáček said: Getting my second dose of Moderna this afternoon and, with the way things have fallen at work so far, it looks like tomorrow afternoon is going to be my busiest point of the week. If the side effects smash me then I'm afraid the good people of Dumbarton and the Vale might have to do without a few pages of their local paper Do you work for the Dumbarton paper that waited outside the court for a beast and took a picture of the wrong person and still put it on the front page? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making a medical decision shouldn't prevent you from going to the football. My 20 year-old nephew refuses to be vaccinated because he reckons Gates will be hooked into him 24/7 - that's no fucking medical decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, apologies, that must be why case numbers are virtually zero and that vaccinated people aren't catching it or being hospitalised. Obviously there have been no deaths of vaccinated folk either. If only. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get that you would be happy with one and not the other. FWIW proof your negative would have a better impact protection wise albeit far from foolproof. Ehm quite simply because proof of vaccination does not 100% guarantee you're covid free. If they're wanting to bring things in to appease the knicker wetters who hate to see people having fun, then it should have been proof of negative test. 13 minutes ago, Empty It said: 23 minutes ago, hk blues said: My 20 year-old nephew refuses to be vaccinated because he reckons Gates will be hooked into him 24/7 - that's no fucking medical decision.

I know several people that get the flu jab most years and have had the hepatitis B vaccine that don't want the covid vax. I know a few people who are certainly not anti vax but who havent had the vaccine. Probably scare stories by the media about blood clots in the younger generation didnt help the case. Lisa Shaw is a prime example, relatively young fit and someone who would still have been here if she hadnt took the vaccine. My mum isnt anti vax but she says she wont be taking a booster if A - its mixed in with the flu jag and B - if it's something other than AZ which she got. Branding everyone who refuses to take the vaccine or finds vaccine passports disgusting as anti vax is a fallacy Edited September 2, 2021 by Thereisalight.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I went on to say that many were a combination of ill informed or uninformed or selfish or any combination of the three, but certainly not anti-vaxers by default. Some will be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its one of these wee quirks of international geo politics, love all that stuff, I know some people who will be working there in various capacities and essentially they can’t leave the site for 2 weeks. Im a bit of a geek when it comes to things like the legalities of embassies and UN sites etc, loads of good videos on youtube. But to answer your question i believe alcohol will be freely available in all the hotels in the site. Pretty sure hotel bars can be open for residents 24/7 anyway? 24 minutes ago, Jan Vojáček said: I do not. I work for the acceptable face of journalism in Dumbarton.

His piece the other week comparing the Taliban to the SNP because he's barred from WDC meetings was the most 'old man yells at cloud' thing I think I've ever seen. Do these Afghan families think they have it tough under the Taliban? Try being barred from Church Street and the council HQ Anyway. That was totally off topic. As you were everyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
