Hard to do 900 millions of damage with this canal boat!

Okay, which one of you guys just yelled, "Hold my beer?"

Yep - many of the canal-side pubs are still there. Don't get that in Suez.

They are both viral vector vaccines based on an adenovirus. That's what makes them more physically robust than the lipid envelopes of the mRNA vaccines (and easier/cheaper to produce). IMHO the minute risk needs to be clarified and carefully explained to the world because mRNA vaccines are non start...

Raptor's link also quotes the Daily Mail.

Enough said.

The ONS stats I believe.

most of my stuff will only get used at TEOTWAWKI. thats why I prep.

You must have a very frugal existence during the good times then. Are you sure you're not letting life pass you by?

And if I was going to use the stove top, I would put a pot of water on it

You would have to frequently top up the water and it would cause a lot of condensation.

Heat from a naked burner would just go straight up though, so how about using a fire-brick instead of a pot?

discuss them yes, but if one prepares for them then they only affect the unprepared masses, surely?

You have never hidden your contempt for the "unprepared masses" have you?

we call them "Wild Boar" over here and they are everywhere.

Are they bollocks!

Gee, tell us how you really feel, MP.

No, seriously, you quoted 4 different people, an entire wall of text, just to post a single emoji. How about actually joining the conversation with something more substantive?

At last.

Jab booked for tomorrow. Will probably be the Oxford/AstraZeneca one. I had the Oxford jab 3 hours ago. Things were really well set up, in and out in 10 minutes. Wait in the car for 15 minutes after, before leaving. I've not turned zombie yet. The EU is all over the place. One minute they don't wan...

Yes any vaccine (approved in the West). And will do in the next few days.
Reason - I'm a graduate Microbiologist.

My aching back hates when I make beef stew, but my belly says

No dumplings? You have to have dumplings with beef stew.

Mrs Sheddi had her first vaccine dose today, no side effects (yet) and a second scheduled for May. Yay for science! I got my letter from the NHS this morning and went online to book the first dose shortly and second dose early June. I'm 58 so they are working down the ages quickly. As a graduate mi...

Do you get Scotch eggs over there?

I make Scotch Eggs over here. No one has died from them yet.

I love them. Cold with a salad or 30 seconds in the microwave for an "in a rush" breakfast. Sausage and egg in one package.

Do you get Scotch eggs over there?

I'm called Sheddi for a reason

Not a Chelsea fan?

Good job prepper mentoring

You are welcome. Good luck.

What am I forgetting?

Do you have a way of heating food if the power is off for long? I've used my Trangia for a good hot meal during a power cut.

ETA: A vacuum flask for the hot drink of your choice?

Yea, we're supposed to hit 7 on Monday. I'm planning to bunker down until at least mid next week, if at all possible. The main hitch might be that a work crew managed to damage a water main this afternoon; I have enough water to go a while for drinking, but I would like to bathe at least every coup...

Ever
Have you not had a jab yet?

Poison bait in hidden places works wonders. Tom cat is the brand I use. OP mentioned dogs, so poison bait probably isn't a great idea. No matter how well you hide it, dogs and cats are still at risk of of catching a rodent trying to flee from its own burning, melting guts. When said poisoned rodent...

Many thanks for your reply.

What brands of commercial multivitamins would you recommend? I'm particularly interested in long term shelf life for storage to supplement canned goods.

I'll let everyone know what I thought of it.

I suspect we can be certain of that.
