I don’t think I can get away with that now 🙂). Anyway - she’s got her jab appointment for Tuesday. If only I was a bit older ..... not really! 😉 My brain still thinks it's 1966 and I'm 18. The body thinks differently 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent. Let’s hope thats correct as 2m a week won’t achieve the target now. Too few weeks and too many still to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do yourself a favour, do a nice pan of stew .That can make you sweat a bit as well and you will enjoy it ! It was your brain that got you into your current situation anyway, best to let the body have a say at this time in your life . 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak for England as the system is different there as compared to Scotland. My GP has no knowledge of my flu vaccinations given by my health board. There is no link between the two systems. There are in effect three systems in place. The GP's own system, the health boards system and a third which is a national system but its used for referrals and letters between the board and GP but not used for vaccinations.

Splice the mainbrace Posted January 15, 2021 #2493 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Some Tommy Cooper jokes that make me titter: "Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let the other one off." "Apparently, one in five people in the world are Chinese. And there are five people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother, Colin. Or my younger brother, Ho-Chan-Chu… But I think it's Colin." "Two aerials meet on a roof, fall in love, get married. The ceremony was rubbish - but the reception was brilliant." "I had a ploughman's lunch the other day. He wasn't very happy." 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare P&O SUE Posted January 15, 2021 #2496 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I don’t think this has been mentioned yet but on the News at Ten last night we’re doing much better with the vaccine roll out than other parts of Europe- France, Italy Germany and Netherlands were mentioned.
