    @gymwitch that is a pain I understand far better than I want to, gone from five dogs to two in the last 18 months, you have all the sympathy I can send. Loathe as we are to say it out loud our dogs mean more to most of us than some of the relatives in our lives and that grief is hard. apparently thats the hug emoji which needs explanation unless the idea of jazz hands might make you smile a tiny bit?

    An entertaining covid story- school children have discovered orange juice gives a false positive on a covid test so guess what the little monkeys have been doing when they want to stay at home

    Well that is sort of true. The vaccination gives your body’s immune system a memory of what the unwanted virus looks like so when the real deal turns up your immune systems bouncers are ready to go. A side effect of this in people with a reasonable immune response is the virus is wiped out before it gets a hold or to the shedding stage which is where you are shedding diseased cells and can infect other people. The shedding timing is different in different diseases. So by their very nature all immunisations cut down on disease transmission. This is how the herd immunity effect works, it helps to protect the unvaccinated because it becomes difficult for the virus to transmit and that gives protection to the morons who dont want to get vaccinated. So yes someone can have a vaccination and still catch a disease and pass it on its just at a vastly reduced rate. Its not something they want to broadcast at the moment because its not useful for compliance with mask wearing or crowd control before they have enough people jabbed.

    Yes. Infection rates are rising but hospitalisation and deaths currently arent increasing at the same rate which is the key factor. Getting a mild illness that requires no intervention and causes no long term disability is the key.

    He’s a really nice down to earth guy. If youve got to honour all the pre covid bookings you took and still try to keep your business afloat when like most business’ 2019/20s money is long gone its a stressful place to be. A lot of them are in the same boat, don’t qualify for furlough, the business ‘grants’ handed out were a joke (only bigger businesses got anything useful) and the bank loans are just that, a loan you have to pay back. The banks were arseholes about that too, awarded loans in an unscrupulous manner requesting security over your personal property rather than it being a business loan and the govt guarantee meant nothing. So all in all if youre a small business that didnt qualify for furlough and needed help youre buggered.

    I’m gonna tell Mr Slowly that one he’ll like it

    I didnt meet anyone there who werent the sort to get off their arses and do stuff- either off roading or overland travel and judging by how many people were plastered in mud the 20 mile slide didnt put anyone off much There were a fair few GS’ there, they werent many taking them off road that I saw, I assume theyre used as comfortable mile eating touring bikes and know that mud fest isnt what that weighty monster’s designed for. Nathan wasnt that thrilled to see us, I think he went off Mr Slowly when he asked him if he was alright or if that was his natural resting bitch face

    If that sort of thing appeals these guys can provide you with some thrills. I think theyre Bristol based? https://www.theadventurists.com/adventures/monkey-run/

    Very nice way to spend your day @Sofia A Pastel de Nata looks like a custard tart, what is it?
  25. Slowlycatchymonkey
    Ah yes you’re spot on. I saw his book (not read it yet) he did a trip 40 or 50 years ago and has just written it up. Remember that when youre giving us a flogging for not writing up ride reports, we’re just fermenting them for a few decades before posting
