Title : The last thing we need to hear right now is that Boris Johnson will defeat coronavirus because he's a 'fighter' Link : https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/boris-johnson-coronavirus-icu-dominic-raab-fighter-a9455756.html Article continues ...

I actually think "nervous nelly" is rather more polite than the thoughts that go through a lot of doctors' heads. I've had the experience of having a doctor shout at me to "Get out of my office! There's nothing wrong with you!" He was wrong, and although it is poorly written I have the evidence...

This whole thread should be a warning to other authors. Being pretentious and/or using foreign language that can't be translated is guaranteed to put potential readers off reading the paper. I haven't read the paper myself because having a title that nobody can really understand just makes the...

Referring to my posts from yesterday about the mystery parcel that I was promised by text... What can I say? :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead: I went and checked my order page on Amazon and there it was... I ordered two boxes of...

I found the anonymity annoying and suspicious, to be honest.

A twitter thread with quite a few links to articles within it suggesting that the treatment paradigm for covid-19 is all wrong because the treatment is concentrated on the wrong problem. For anyone without a twitter account (like me) you can still read public threads without one.

I just found this ... Fin de siècle which means "end of the century". I'm not convinced it makes any more sense than the original bit of dodgy French in the article, but wondered if it was what was intended.

I'm beginning to think I've forgotten ordering something. I jumped to the conclusion when I received the text that it was something to do with food parcels because of the wording that was used.

It didn't have my name on it or anyone else's. :confused: Perhaps it isn't one of those food parcels that some people are getting, and is something else entirely. Wrong number, perhaps? Hopefully the mystery will be solved tomorrow. It's an enigma wrapped in mystery, I think. I'll just have...

I have received a text telling me that my parcel from superfood market is due tomorrow. It suggests to me that I have been classed as vulnerable by somebody, but I have no idea who or why. I didn't order the food. ................... Hubby and I went grocery shopping today in our local big...

When I search for "Arc de siècle" the only reference to it is the article linked in the first post. So I assume it doesn't mean anything to anybody except the authors of the article. :facepalm:

I can't lie on my front either. In my case the problem is adhesions and scarring affecting my abdomen. A few years ago I had an MRI scan and was asked to lie on my front, and it took about 40 minutes as far as I remember. I wasn't aware of it while the MRI was going on but a few minutes after I...

I can't stop thinking about Dr Who. Did Christopher Eccleston change careers after playing the part? ;)

I live in the centre of a fairly large town - no butchers or farm shops exist in my area at all. I wish they did.

One thing I haven't been able to get hold of for weeks is eggs. I haven't seen any for sale for nearly a month. Nor have I seen pasta for weeks. I can live reasonably happily without pasta, but having no eggs has created a lot of problems for me, in terms of the food I usually eat.

Yes, I would have to dilute it in circumstances where it could affect the taste of food. I've used diluted bleach a couple of times to clean food packaging before putting it into the fridge, and so far I've avoided any hint of bleach in the flavour of the food.

@Jonathan Edwards Thank you. :)

If you are cleaning kitchen work surfaces or sinks or any other surface that needs to be kept as clean as possible which of the following would you trust the most - disinfectant or bleach? https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/255279694...

I think there are some mistaken beliefs about masks in the UK (I'm basing this on a conversation I had with others before covid-19 existed). Many people assume that masks primarily help to reduce the mask-wearer's own risk of catching something. But as far as I can work out the primary use of a...

People have been breaking the isolating and social distancing rules and congregating at a blue pool in Derbyshire, UK because it looks pretty and the weather has been unusually good for the time of year. Police have used an interesting method to make it less appealing ...
