    We had a double decker take the wrong route a year or two back....sheared the top level off.
    Constructed a heavy metal protection to protect the bridge from being damaged....of course it meant the bus would be damaged even more.....but hey oh....passengers can be replaced .

    Tomorrow I’m off to Home Park for Covid and Flu vaccinations. I’m expecting a battle.

    I’ve already had a patronising email saying “YOU arranged a Covid appointment but you’re a senile old fart who’s obsessed with your own survival and putting yourself ahead of the health of the Nation”.

    And I’m going to say “No. You total incompetent idiots send me a message over your steam-driven system TELLING me to arrange an appointment which I duly did as a responsible citizen.”

    “Also, I suspect you are now fixing the wrong problem. You are now withdrawing staff from other more important tasks to come here and have this argument with me. This has an opportunity cost to it in the essential services they aren’t providing elsewhere when you already have people here ready to stick a needle in my arm and the cost of the vaccine is probably less than the cost of having you here to tell me I can’t have it. You are wasting money covering your own asses which could be spent on doing something productive.”

    I’m quite looking forward to it.

    Sounds like a teeny weeny touch of stress and anxiety creeping in there notDistant.

    We have been told that we need Covid and Flu boosters starting from October.....last time we missed out by 24hrs.....we hadn't been told that there was a cut-off date.....so we didn't get done......I would think there would have been a lot of elderly people not done last time because of not realizing.

    Haven't they raised the age for automatic covid jabs..........someone said 75 ?

    Yes so I don’t qualify. But they have my DOB so don’t send the invite.

    It’s not difficult. Is this number greater to or less than this one. There you go. Done.
