But it was a JCVI recommendation.

I see what you mean.

Actually, they didn't break due to me trying to unscrew them, they just shattered from probably knocks against the mudguards stays. As far as I can tell they are not fused nor corroded. There's no obvious reason why a moderate anticlockwise torque can't remove them. The guards were only fitted two ...

If someone like me can why can't most people? Why do people follow these idiots like sheep?

If you could show me the steps in your “deduction” it might help me to stop being sheep-like.

But what exactly does that mean? E.g. the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine was reported to be 70% effective at preventing disease but 100% effective at preventing serious illness and death.

Heard on the radio 4 news tonight that the uk is the only country in the world going against the manufacturers instructions to administer the second dose after 3 weeks. Not the only country. Delivery of vaccine to Canada has been interrupted due to expansion/construction at the Pfizer plant in Belg...

Presumably, if the report confirms the untrustworthiness of the BBC, you have some confounding data to hand that would enlighten the rest of us?

The first time round I didn’t want to be the only person in the street not clapping but this time I didn’t want to be the only person who was clapping.

I used to own a stationary cycle. It was only an old fashioned Tunturi flywheel type, but apart from the tedium, I found it almost impossible to raise my heart rate to the levels I easily attain when cycling up hill on a real road. Mind you, the tedium was nothing compared to that when using a rowin...

Although I mainly eat wholemeal, I prefer white bread for spreading things on e.g. peanut butter.

I had one stolen from my shed - a Dawes Giro 400 I think, to which I’d just fitted new hand built (by me) wheels, with cartridge bearing hubs. I managed to get the full amount (£450) of house-insurance money available and I bought a Giro 500 as a replacement. On an earlier occasion, my shed was brok...

My worry is that the trial data still show 62% and with the more infectious strain even with 100% vaccination take-up that is far from enough for herd immunity. Government are selling this as "' way out' of pandemic " (Hancock, today). And once vaccinated with the 62% vaccine you are unli...

I believe a virus can frequently mutate so isn't it likely to mutate into a minimally harmful form that will not have a great arsenal of medical treatment aimed at eliminating it? I assume you mean evolve rather than mutate. Mutations are random whereas evolution is directed by natural selection (a...
