I’ll just leave this here for future reference.

Thunderstorms last night, lots of rain and our rainwater harvester that ran out yesterday is now full that's fifty gallons off 25% of the roof area, have not ventured any further into the garden to see how the Greenhouse rainwater harvester tanks got on.

Interesting that auto correct underlined off, above, but gave no alternative.
 
Spurs fans,
This Sunday from 10am - 6pm there's a Covid vaccination event taking place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for people aged 18 and over. So get yourselves down there, and you'll finally see some shots going in...
 
I’m not a football fan, but I thought, with all the coverage I may as well watch the Scotland/ England game….

Boring? I don’t know… there was chances, chances missed….

but…. Nil nil means a win to Scotland at the moment…. They still have a chance

and England DIDN’T win…. Which is a bonus, ?

I flicked over to Eurosport... where there was some Submarine racing ! Far more entertaining I thought.

It is a bonus.

If England win the group - then they would face France, Portugal, or Germany in the next round.

That would mean defeat for certain as even the worst of them is far far better then England!

But if they go through as second they face the group winners of Group E - which is a much easier route.

So England putting in the worst performance of recent times - Poor playing or good planning?
 
It is just me or does anyone else think its a bad idea to fly in hundreds of footballers into the same place, the Olympics would be thousands of people from all over the world, Covid has not been eradicated yet, I know life has to go on, but taking some precautions and not flouting the distancing protocol does seem to have gone by the by.

The fact that apparently lots of 'VIPs' will be allowed in for the Euros final at Wembley shows while poor sods of 80 are being fed rubbish in a quarantine hotel and paying for the privilege shows the priority of things in modern society (? just to keep it 'light')
 
Well, we expect another delay after these Scottish fans come home carrying the delta variant from London. No doubt there would have been English fans travelled down from areas with the variant.
 
The importance of football in this country is totally out of proportion, it's a sad fact that most think it is OK to let 1500 FIFA officials into the country without any checks or restrictions, I wonder at what point I will be able to say "I knew there would be another spike"

Already happened in Scotland, the results show a large proportion of positive tests among men - predominantly those returning from travelling to watch Scotland in the euros (not just foreign travel, but also travelling/being in the crowds within Scotland itself).

The female numbers remain at pre-euro levels

(Probably due to the girls discussing clothes washing techniques @OnlQQker eh?)
 
Posting for a friend…

What’s the first thing you do when you buy a new car? Yes…. You let someone drive into the back of you…

My neighbour just picked up a new Volvo from the dealership and was heading home.

Clown behind him didn’t see him slowing for the 30.

Final score… Volvo 1, Clown car nil.

The phone call to insurance went like this;

“how many miles?”
“90”
“90 thousand?”
“No… 90”


As well as a dash cam, the Volvo has a rear cam as well… video on YouTube somewhere.
Looks like driver had head down reading a text…
Police will have an easy time prosecuting with video proof.
 
Too many idiots with their heads down looking at phones these days. Passed one on the A1 yesterday - I'd say more than 50% of the time his eyes were looking down. Scary.
 

Teens are using lemon juice and TikTok hacks to fake positive Covid tests to miss school



This made me laugh.. Looks like they are learning science stuff after all.
Orange juice also seems to work - though probably anything acidic may work as I think it just removes the layer on top of the marker.

Sounds like applied science to me!

Only works with lateral flow tests though, so only works for a short time until they have to take a PCR test.
 
I was told pineapple juice from my neighbour…. Who works for Astra Zeneca.

ketchup, also I believe.

One thing that will inevitably give you a positive test is to spend Saturday night in a crowded pub, jumping up and down, hugging your mates, shouting “it’s coming home!”



ps. Good luck to England…. Not all Scotsmen are anti-English.

I mean, I speak to you lot on a daily basis.
