    They’ve halved the length of the swans because you don’t need to stick it down your throat, only you your nose.
    If they’re not long enough for your nose then then you must look like pinnochio!
    Mine have always come in 7s and I thought getting the liquid in the thing was a faff
    …however I can’t get the lids off either!

    How does that sit with the vegan lifestyle Den?

    I mean cutting a swan in half and sticking it up your nose.


    Bit brutal, no?

    He needs to be careful whilst he's after them with his hatchet.

    They can break your arm just with their flappy wings.

    Is that just an urban myth or has someone tried it out?

    What a waste of packaging and cost of postage as well, & why they can't come in at least 14 or 28?
    Make things easier not harder...

    Am I the only person left in the country that’s never had to do a Covid test?

    Interesting that in Scotland everyone is asked to do one twice a week to identify asymptomatic cases and stop asymptomatic people spreading the virus. I can see the logic tbh.

    something most don't know of about the pcr test. the pcr procedure was designed years ago as a procedure (not a test) to increase the amount of whatever present in a substance to take it to testable levels. the process involves a number of cycles (heating and cooling, or something else). the inventor of the process said that after 24 cycles the process became pointless.

    when the w.h.o. proscribed the test for covid-19, their guidelines said to use 40 cycles. this meant that any bits oflong-dead historic r.n.a. inthe sample would be amplified and a positive test result produced. a false positive. as 40 cycles is way more than 24, it's obvious that there were many false positives.

    on jan 13th 2021, the who decided on a change to their guidelines to reduce the number of false positives. the change was to restrict the pcr process to 28 cycles. the new guidance was issued on jan 20th 2021. the same day that joe biden was sworn in as the new president of the usa. some might say that's coincidental. some might say it was changed that day to make biden look better than his predecessor.

    with all those false positives, asymptomatic spread may not be as real as was made out.

    They changed a month or so ago, but depending where you got them from they might have had older stock.
    Short ones are definitely nasal only though.

    To be fair they should be clearer if sending them to men…none of us read instructions!
