You need a usb wireless adapter (not an internal wifi card, or a powerline adapter). Curry's sell them from £6.99 upwards.

Since they have closed the general Covid thread I will have to ask this question on here : My mother in law is in care home. She has now been triple vaccinated (plus I would bet money she had Covid in April 2020) Any visitors she has have to test themselves thirty minutes before and register the result ion the govt website, then, when they get there everyone has to wear masks, gloves (I think)and aprons. Bearing in mind, as I said, they have all been triple vaccinated (and most of the residents had Covid in April 2020) and therefore will never be more immune than they are now, why is this necessary ? And, bearing in mind we will never get rid of Covid, how long will this madness go on for ? What will change ? It should all have ended in about last April when they'd vaccinated 15,000,000 with at least two doses. And I really do mean All of it, no masks, no travel restrictions, nothing at all, back to the old normal. But the problem is, as we get safer from Covid, all that happens is people's risk aversion (not mine I hasten to add) just goes up another notch. The fact is that if, back in March 2020, the death rate from Covid had been what it is now NONE OF THIS WOULD BE HAPPENING, that is an indisputable fact. It is very very worrying..... "End of April" (when 15 million had been double vaccinated and 34 million had had at least one dose.....)

Glad you liked it, thanks for your reply but you can't beat on the pitch comedy, I'm sure someone will be scouring for one to match it as we post, probably Henderson's blunder. It's all good banter until the dummy spitters join in.

Excellent idea for a thread. I saw that one live though, so I'll skip it and offer you this:

I'm going to stump up for ours. Mostly because it will be about £50 a ticket saved. It's a curious carry on though.

A private citizen, which is all the the employee of the car park would be, would not be able to enforce any law. That said during the hours of operation the car park would be considered accessible by the general public therefore is covered under the various laws governing the use of public roads, such as the Road Traffic Act etc.

Hello all, It would seem i'm not the only one thinking what happened to Tracklogs? Google searches led me here and having read the forum i guess i should cut to the chase and ask if Temuchin could help me out? I have a V2 install but not the latest V3, any OS25 mapping would also be helpful, i do have quite a few .pkg files for V2 and V3 so happy to contribute to anyone's library if required. Anyway hoping Temuchin can help me with the install for starters? Thanks Chris

An effective vaccine would have ended the thing months ago, remember the "15m vaccines to freedom" claim.

'Next Pandemic Could Be More Lethal Than Covid'
Carbuncle replied to Chekhov's topic in General Discussions
A lot has changed in the years since Spanish flu. When Spanish flu struck the pattern of mortality was very different. World War I was causing catastrophic loss of life though its end, at least on the Western Front, was clearly in view. Smallpox and polio were rife. Child mortality was horrific to the extent that life expectancy at birth in Britain was under 55 years and nowhere in the World was it over 65 years. Most of the World's population lived in abject poverty and suffered from what we would consider to be chronic malnutrition as exhibited by the increase in adult height. Relative to the other problems societies faced, Spanish flu in its day might well have been a smaller issue than covid is now. It also has to be borne in mind that the covid pandemic is not over yet so we do not have the full bill yet. Finally, in making any comparison, we should bear in mind that when we count the health cost of covid it is the cost of a heavily mitigated epidemic. We have had the choice to mitigate covid's impact a lot more effectively than was available to those who faced Spanish flu. A couple of last points in reference to the 'once in a hundred years' theme: 1. We have had other serious, non-pandemic, contagious diseases (eg smallpox, polio, malaria, measles) to contend with ... their impact has been falling. 2. HIV/ AIDS, another pandemic in the last fifty years, has killed more people than covid albeit over a protracted period. - Today

Welcome to Sheffield and this forum -
@top4718Why highlight “effective vaccines” when it is these that have had a major part in government use of fewer lockdowns?

I've spotted a flaw in your statement. SAGE's modelling which has led to ridiculous lockdowns because of their predictions of doom and gloom is sheer incompetence at any level.
-
So we should not take heed of the collective wisdom of numerous individuals at the top of their professions. They have not been consistently wrong but in a pandemic that is still in its’ infancy they are also learning along the way. No instant solutions but by far the greatest advance is the availability of effective vaccines which I am happy to say has been taken up by the majority of our population. You always prefer to base your arguments on exceptions to any rule .

I reckon where social services are concerned that familiarity breeds contempt. I have known many police officers who treat villains like mates, perhaps social services staff do similar. As an example I was out walking my late dog when this guy took a running kick at her, I immediately decked him and was very surprised when the police knocked on my door the following day, the WPC officer obviously knew the guy and was clearly on his side, I insisted that she arrest me or go, she opted for the latter. By the way the guy was in his fourties whilst I was then in my mid 60’s and a rheumatoid arthritis sufferer, I’m now in my mid 70’s and would do exactly the same if it happened again.
