Wasp guy coming on Mon to hopefully sort the wasps. You can see where they're getting in under the roof outside. I really hope he arrives like this  MrsC's sister got Disney+ for her daughter's summer holidays. So we currently have it as well. The child so far has streamed stuff we already own on dvd. MrsC who is not a gamer and thinks video games are for the feeble minded is currently sitting with three ipads all running AC Pocket Camp. She doing stuff for her camp and the child's. The child has different camps on two separate iPads which is why I can't get near my iPad. Her grandad gave her his old one as well. Christ almighty. Pork & veg curry for dinner. |

I see Nigel Farage has got himself in trouble, tweeting a picture of himself enjoying a pint at his local, less than two weeks after attending Trump's rally in Oklahoma.

An interesting piece on the BBC's sports bit. Ultimate England Men's Cricketers - the best of the best revealed. Highly controversial, apart from James Anderson, but although Archer's bouncer is very nasty, the combination of Harmison's bouncer ball of weighted menace and late swing which followed the batsmen was bloody demonic. The restriction to the panel choices, leaves no room for Tom Graveney's cover drive, certainly the best exponent I ever saw. |

I had a dream last night that I got kicked out of a Marks and Spencer’s because I tripped up but didn’t fall over, and the security guy asked me “What have you been drinking?” before insisting I was drunk and kicking me out. I hadn’t been drinking in my dream but I had before bed. Bit odd.
Games - Last of Us 2. Dropped it down to very easy mode because it’s become tiresome. The stealth parts are dull as fuck and keep going on and on with very little story in between. It mainly seems to be a game about getting past gates.

The other kid had her jabs yesterday too so it's been a laugh a minute here.

Ignored pub opening. Tried shopping as people could have got used to rules but no luck. Left side of the shopping centre one way and the other is the opposite direction had just done people. God forbid they have limits on the number of people in shops.
Also what is with face covering of everything below the nose, either its a risk from breathing or you don't need a covering. How little are people paying attention or trying?

How little are people paying attention or trying? I don't quite understand what you're saying? The reason why folk, including those who are social distancing are required to where a mask is not to protect the individual wearing the mask, but everyone else around them. Infected droplets can travel up to 8 metres. I'm afraid herd stupidity trumps herd immunity. And if any moron tells you they haven't got it, it might be they are infected before the symptoms show, or they may be asymptomatic as most seem to be. In other words the majority of covid-19 cases are not only asymptomatic but a proportion may never be aware that they are infected. |

I think the main point is why wear a mask and not cover your nose.

Just watched the first episode of "Warrior Nun" on Netflix, looks promising in a Buffyish sort of way, a touch too much exposition, will give it a few more episodes.

Did a wee bit more Uncharted 3 earlier as well. 90% through.

The climb to supremacy
Final days ... 36 days...
And my current victory count |

I think the main point is why wear a mask and not cover your nose. A mask doesn't really do anything much, when you breathe it partially filters your breath and stops only the larger droplets that you cough out. It most certainly doesn't stop coughs and breaths from being breathed in by you from someone else. This was proven by a survey at a series of hospitals a few years back and some alternative testing methods, where it was said that the only reason they wear a mask in hospital is to give a slight level of protection to the patients who were more susceptible to infection. (Mask plus meds equals protection). That said it is smart to consider wearing some type of covering even if it's for psychological reasons. OTTM: Netflix - BBC Dracula, 4.5* Amazon - Hanna season 2, 4* YouTube - (King Crocoduck) Quantum Theory made easy Parts 1&2, 4.5* other assorted Jim Al-Khalili YT stuff. I'm Ok You OK - jolly good. |

Oz not being Obscure!? I've added some extra spacing to make it easier for normal mortals to read. *survey When you really want to make a point add your sources. I don't doubt you read that, but some of us may want to read the research or abstract, others may disbelieve you and cited research is the only way you can get passed that. |

The following rant is rated for mature audiences only. Contains swearing, and a picture of a quite horrible mature. Even if a mask only had a minimal effect, why would you not wear one? This is what Covid does to your lungs.  I dont want that, and i dont want to be the person responsible that causes someone to get that. Frankly, I cant even understand why it's even a debate anymore. Countries which have initiated mandatory mask wearing in enclosed areas have shown a reduced infection rate. At this point it should be a legal requirement to wear one indoors in public. Doing our big shop last night and apart from one older Asian lady, me and Mrs zord were the only people wearing them, including the shop staff. Some fat gammon looked at me like I had two heads. Fuck these idiots feelings, fuck their "oh it makes it hard to breath". Does it fuck. I used to work a job that required wearing an n95 mask for anything up to 6 hours at a time, and I died on a daily basis. Oh no wait, I didn't. You can put on a mask for 20 minutes to buy some fucking boxed shiraz Chantelle. Edit : oh and games. No. |
