I have a visa card with them but I've applied for a mastercard just to be on the safe side. We'll see what transpires.

With a credit rating bolstering mortgage probably a distant memory you might find there's a queue nob? I gently lectured Management to use her Mastercard and it went in one ear and out of her a*#e nob, so in time of course they withdrew it. Got her a Visa credit card through Nationwide, but that's no good under the present Amazon broadside.
I told her to sit tight. There's too much money at stake and neither side can afford to hold out indefinitely. One thing T.I.N.A. really got right was her slavish reliance on the power of the market. Well that and the M25!

Random disclosure:
I ordered a pack of seven lateral flow tests online yesterday (Sunday) at 16-33. Delivered today at 11-33. Nineteen hours but all the more impressive because the clock started ticking on a Sunday afternoon.
Thank you Postman Pat.

New instructions from the school or Government?? Take a lateral flow if + then book and PCR and work till the results are back, if its the new variant quarantine for 10 days if not and your double jabbed keep working?? Does anyone in charge know whats happening?? At least that's what I think is happening. The doc in SA who found this new one says people only get slight symptoms and the UK government are panicking. But after their last track record they don't want to be caught not doing enough I guess. We got pinged when we came back from Holiday, someone on the Plane tested + but as we had a PCR for day two and it came back - we were ok.

I'm happy now that the lateral flow test only requires a hooter swab. I voluntered for what on reflection must have been a PCR test about eighteen months ago, and you first had to swab each side of the uvula before secondly invading the neb. I gagged swabbing the second side of the wobbly bit, agravated no doubt by having my head tilted back so far because of the restricted viewing area in varifocals. I said then "never again". I suppose that the test result was void anyway because during the involuntary ejection of the swab I understandably contaminated it but I returned it anyway. Not doing that again as a self-test, not even to get to The Costas. Am I not your resident silly hippy?

As a trialer, I had to give feedback and I was quite prosaic about it. (Not my style at all ...) Perhaps there was a surfeit of complainants that saw the requirement for tonsil tickling abandoned in the interests of deriving some way of monitoring and dealing with the spread of infection? (long sentence but try putting a comma in somewhere!)

youtu.be/JTnGI6Knw5QIn the 1970s, I wondered what all the fuss was about with that song not to mention the band. Decades later and I really like them. Pipe 'n' slippers? でつ e&oe ...

What do others think of Tony Blairs elevation to knighthood ? He did a great job for us over here in the Good Friday Agreement.That said I am shattered that he considers the Iraq war as a high point. Some time back Dominic Grieve,a conservative Attorney pronounced in the Commons that any further investigation into Dr David Kelly's death would not be tolerated.What ? How come ? All the evidence suggested a cover up. Baa humbug I say.The Rich and powerful are supposed not to be above the rule of law

I think its a kick in the teeth for all the dead from Blairs illegal wars, and the opening of our borders to Eastern Europe. Lets hope the ordering of burning the papers finishes him.

The so-called Good Friday Agreement is not alone in representing the good things that he did, but he will of course always be remembered and reviled in roughly equal measure for the invasion of Iraq. That said, it wasn't HIS war- he simply couldn't wait to tug at the shirt tails of an erstwhile sleeping giant.
If'n the great moslem underdog hope had instead decided to float gently into Big Ben and Buck House, and had then chosen not to invade Iraq, the man on the Clapham Omnibus would have been slathering for his entrails and we all know it. Moreover, on reflection it is by no means certain that Uncle Sam would have sent the cavalry to come to OUR assistance.
I have zero tolerance for that opportunist power zealot either, but it's not because he went into Iraq. Even TINA expressed approval for him.

He went into Iraq to help Bush finish what his dad couldn't do. If Blair had anything about him he would reject the gong but we know he wont narcissists don't think like that.
