Nothing about the BEEB surprises me - this is the mob that started colour tv with The Black & white Minstrel Show and steadfastly ignored black music all the way through the 70's. It's only the fact that they are our 'official' broadcasting company that keeps the licence fee existing. It's just another form of bluddy taxation, imo 😎

Agreed, but sometimes pubs are their own worst enemy - one of many similar incidents - https://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/rise-devons-covid-hotspot-linked-4694233

So continuing a theme here - apparently if you order a substantial meal (ie scotch egg) and don't eat it, you can booze all night? (asking for a friend) 😎

IBTL ...........

Ah, thanks for that - the rumour mill is still not in lockdown then ......... Trump has a very vivid imagination. 😎

ok, help me out - what has Trump (I guess that's who you mean?) to do with the NHS? 😎

A lot is going to hinge on how many will actually want to get vaccinated and how much of a farce the logistics turn in to. Going by the problems so far, I'm not hopeful. 😎

I think it was fairly normal for the idiot of the family to get shoe-horned into politics or the church. 😎

Reports rarely see the light of day - usually 'financially difficult' or the end of someone's gravy train ........never hold your breath 😎

.............. shouldn't be - it muddies the waters .......... (ONS are good at doing that) 😎

I can see us all being issued with little plastic cards saying we've been vaccinated and giving personal I D refs (!) otherwise how would you know that a potential contact 'should' be safe? 😎

^ ^ ^ 'They' won't tell us .............. 😎

Sky News - if the deputy chief medical officer reckons it's safe enough for his 78-year-old mum, that's a pretty good sign of confidence in the process. 😎 (I'm reminded of John Selwyn Gummer shoving a hamburger at his daughter)

Journey back in time a side effect?

The cynic in me wonders if using the elderly as guinea pigs is the future of evaluation? (no loss of tax revenues, less ongoing (care) costs, more housing freed off .... ?) 😎

Interesting times - I had a customer in August who I was chatting to about the Virus (very abstract, I don't do politics or religion in the shop) and he intimated that 'we' could expect good news on the vaccine front in November, but was reluctant to say anymore other that he knew people involved in it. Who Knows? 😎

Incredible - thank you for posting ! 😎

I'd write it off - having had some experience with duff (juke box) lasers & standard cd background stuff, - it needs experience and a lot of faffing about. Cut your losses and get another................. 😎

There's something about valve amps............ 😎

I had an old Grampian amp that did something similar ............ 😎

Thanks RB - I'd have never got that one ! 😎

Meanwhile - Paypal is earning interest on your money - good crack............... 😎

Try this? it's certainly the right riddim........... Think it might be this (after an hour & half of going through my reggae tracks) ....
