    I don't. By the way how does the "passed a lateral flow test" bit work, do you bring it with you?

    It sounds like you've just given up trying to keep up with technology. Not necessarily a bad thing, if you're happy doing what you do. Personally I find smartphones a pain in the arse but the benefits they offer dull that pain sufficiently for me to use one!

    Does anyone have the graphs that people predicted the pandemic might have, with several waves, right at the start? (Based on Spanish flu?)

    I seem to recall they looked a lot like the actual graphs now?

    I still happily use valves! The technology on a tower is exactly the same just easier to use. I have better things to do with my time than piss about on smart phones. They are expensive, fragile, antisocial, finicity to use, and have an incredibly short battery life.

    I have a couple of Ecc 83 Mullards, superb on a phono amp, better than any modern tech.

    I know. It was just a play on words. The headline was inaccurate. It is the size of the venue. It would apply whether we had 9,000 in or 15,000.

    It's only killed over 5 million people in 18 months, nothing to worry about really.

    Because these safety measures are definitely just being put in place to inconvenience you on purpose, and definitely aren't put in place at the instruction of people far more intelligent than you or I.

    After 8 billion doses given out, you'd think people would stop with the whole "it's a scam thing." It was a ****e take when it started, it's a ****e take now and it won't ever stop being complete bullshit until people realise that this isn't some mental scheme by a shady government or a trick to get you to enjoy having needles put in you or whatever the latest Facebook meme from Karen says.

    Depends on the venue and how they do security. Ive been to two gigs at the Bonus arena in the last month and despite all the blurb about being a Covid safe venue etc no one was checking Covid passes at all. Still poking security wands in your privates though. Went to a gig at Lincoln Uni last week and everyone’s Covid status was checked before they got round to looking at your tickets.

    I don't even have a mobile phone, let alone a smart one. That way I only speak to people when I want to. Which is never.

    I know that’s sarcasm but compared to the two biggest killers globally, cardiovascular disease and cancer, as well as the Spanish Flu’s death toll in two years, yeah, it does pale in comparison.

    I wonder if the government is going to issue passports to people to prove they don’t have clogged arteries when ordering a Big Mac.
