“Sunny” Sussex by the sea. Roads will be a nightmare tomorrow as the earlier rain has washed all the salt away.

Good job the weather is inclement, I have been struck down with man-flu. I may survive, but it is a close run thing.

Re: A right now thread
A lot of it about but just had 2 more people report that they've got the 'rona, my sister's all jabbed up but is v ill with it too. Seems to have dropped out of the news but it's alive and kicking quite vigorously if our contacts are a representative sample. Chuck in the Strep problem and the seasonal norovirus and seasonal jollity is a bit subdued!Cousin Jack wrote: ↑Sun Dec 11, 2022 3:21 pm Good job the weather is inclement, I have been struck down with man-flu.

Yesterday I heard one of the staff at Sainsbury's say to a colleague 'I think I'll go home, I feel really bad'. Marv.

Re: A right now thread
Negative on the covid front, this is genuine man-flu, so vaccines are totally ineffective. The only sure cure is the ministrations of teenage virgins, and I am very short of them.

They all said I was mad when I bought a snow shovel 12 years ago. Christened it a few minutes ago

The current NHS advice is to isolate for 5 days after your first positive test, then you're ok to go out again.
Which is probably the best way to ensure the damn virus gets spread far and wide. I first tested positive on Tuesday, I'm still spewing germs with every breathe on Sunday.
Seriously off-pissing, missing a lot of family time due to this damn disease.

Update on the man-flu. It is now officially Covid man-flu, the worst kind. All my 5 vaccinations have failed and I shall die in agony.Cousin Jack wrote: ↑Sun Dec 11, 2022 3:21 pm Good job the weather is inclement, I have been struck down with man-flu. I may survive, but it is a close run thing.

No. I told my wife to take my car tomorrow and will show her how to put in snow mode. She should be fine, but I'll nervously await her return tomorrow afternoon!

Re: A right now thread
I was smug when I had the Jeep with all season tyres and loved going out in snow but I saw several other 4x4s sliding out of control on summer tyres, the tyres are more important than the drive system.
The other problem that became obvious quickly is that although I could move other people couldn't and I often ended up stuck behind other cars.

Re: A right now thread
Back when we had the last snowy winters I had a nice little Smart Brabus thing as a runabout, I put winter tyres on it. Most memorable was a local farmer who could't follow me up a hill in his Defender.Mussels wrote: ↑Mon Dec 12, 2022 7:52 amI was smug when I had the Jeep with all season tyres and loved going out in snow but I saw several other 4x4s sliding out of control on summer tyres, the tyres are more important than the drive system.
