Coronavirus

GlaxoSmithKline and Gates Foundation will be charging the govt (actually the taxpayer) £477 per person for vaccine. In the UK alone that would be £32 billion based on population of 67m.

Some fella on the Radio then complaining abut not being able to run the marathon after training all year for it. The level of selfishness and arrogance of some people blows my mind. People have lost loved ones and not even been able to say goodbye to them. It's these cunts who need fucking off. "I'm alright jack as long as you don't rock my boat" types. 

My solution to this would be get a couple of chavs to sit in a car, attach this bloke who wants to run 26 miles to the car and tell the chavs to drive for 26 miles. If he survives, he will have his wish. If he dies, the chavs can go to jail for 6 years for manslaughter.

Brighton beach today....

Ok we can go on about social distancing and being selfish and all that but seriously how the fuck is being stuck in the middle of that in any way shape or form an enjoyable experience?

Autumn or Winter, fine, especially if there are sand dunes to walk through. Summer can fuck off.

Bamburgh in Autumn when it's about 10 degrees > Brighton in summer when it's 30 degrees.

Yep, we went to Seahouses a few years back in late September, very bracing. Further up, Gullane's very nice too.

The only positive of coronavirus this summer has been that I can tell everyone that wants me to go to Huelva/Malaga/Cadiz beach, when it's over 35 degrees (40 last weekend), to fuck off. I'll go in November, thanks. Take my dogs and go for a long walk while there are about eight other people on the beach.

Bamburgh is sand, isn’t it? Brighton is pebbles. Norman Cook is a cunt.

Yeah, used to go to Seahouses as well. My great aunt used to live in Belford so a couple of times a year we'd go and visit her. Huge beaches, with fuck all people on them. Great.

I stayed in Seahouses in the winter you amateurs.

There will be a few sunburns tomorrow.

Get yourself down to Oglet shore and explore a couple of burned out Capris.

Good stuff over the last couple of days, and now this, which is still preliminary but hopefully the reduction is down to better treatment now doctors know more about the disease-

As a resident of the marvellous town of Runcorn, I've been keeping an eye on Halton using the Zoe app and the number of estimated cases in the borough has gone up from 80 to over 500 within the last few weeks!

Ha, Gates Foundation, that’s how you know that is bollocks.

If the numbers are tumbling fast why are we having these local spikes? 

[Strontium]

Short answer, we may not be.

It also says nothing about local spikes.

 

Hey-ho.

I get the feeling this is one of those "if the tree fell and no one heard or saw it, how do we know it fell" moments.
