        I'm due my jags in early December, and I'll be getting both. People do need to remember that it's not about you, it's about others.

        I thought I'd just update re the trolley bashing moron who hit me last Monday. The police are coming out tomorrow to take a statement and then they'll check CCTV at B&Q.
        I was back there yesterday, and the girl at the checkout was very helpful and said I could also have spoken to a duty manager etc. I noticed a camera when I left the store - making sure there were no plonkers driving carelessly, and it should be able to spot the car no bother at the point it stopped, as it was right in front of the main entrance.
        Re the one way signs and road markings/arrows etc. Up here, we're bound by the same rules and regs in car parks as we are on the road, so he could be done for careless driving.

            But ... if you sustain a vaccine injury, which can be life-changing and life-long, you are on your own, I promise you. That's why, whilst I am all for vaccination programmes existing, I am against mandatory uptake. And those who have suffered long-term, debilitating consequences, or care for someone who has, should not be shouted down or ridiculed or labelled by the media just to keep the money flowing from the tax-payer to Big Pharma.

              My two-jabs arm is a bit sore but no worse than I've had previously from just one jab. I only really feel it when I raise my arm above shoulder height, or bump it against something. Last year's flu one didn't even give me a sore arm but that's unusual. No other side effects yet.

                It's up to individuals to choose. If I had a bad reaction previously or other conditions I'd think twice.

                  Just been on a long chat to Amazon support, I discovered they are charging us for Amazon Music which we never signed up for. Apparently someone said "Yes" to Alexa when asked if we wanted a subscription back in April. All of us deny it. As they have no evidence of that and nothing in writing (no email even) they were essentially breaking contract law. They have relented and repaid the subscription back.

                    I've not had a bad reaction to any that I have had but I do wonder if they are now going a bit OTT, it was just flu now covid and flu then I had a pneumonia at one time.

                    Is it getting too much for the body to take so regularly, I dont know but I'm giving it a miss this year.

                    I'm sure, when I had my knee done last year they asked if I had had a covid jab, I had, now whether I would have have been forced into having one I dont know, but it does sound like they could exclude you from certain things if you jabs are not up to date.

                    Its like putting dogs in kennels, are the jabs up to date?:biggrin:

                      The same thing happened to my wife when on holiday in Spain. She'd reacted badly to an insect bite and the doctor said she needed an injection. My wife pulled up her sleeve and the doctor shook her head, said 'No', and patted her backside. I thought it was hilarious, although my wife didn't appreciate my sense of humour at the time.

                          Letter from Nationwide, we are lowering you interest rate due to the bank of England lowering the base rate by 0.25%.

                          I dont remember them even bothering to rase the interest rate until it went up around 2%, before that all those small rises were not worth altering the rate in their opinion.

                            We had both jabs this morning, one in each arm and so far so good. Whether it's still good in the morning is another matter.

                            @ViewAhead , I believe the UK Government pays compensation for any proven vaccine injury.
                            I think it's around £120,000. Not a lot if you become severely disabled but better than nothing.

                              Yes, but "proven" is the sticking point. Fewer than 2% of Covid jabs claims have been allowed. You almost have to drop dead within minutes to make a successful claim (posthumously).

                              A friend of mine developed narcolepsy as a direct result of the swine flu jab, as did many others. The NHS accepted the vaccine was the cause, but refused to allow the sufferers the drugs they needed after an initial 2 yr period. The injured had to fight a class action in court, which took yrs. They weren't even asking for compensation, just monthly prescriptions for the medication. Disgraceful.

                              If you want to fight the NHS or the Vaccine Injuries Board, you need massive reserves of stamina and patience ... which, by definition you don't have if you are debilitated enough to even be considered for compensation. Vaccine manufacturers have it written into law that they will never take financial responsibility for harms caused ... even if their trial data showed they knew about the harms before the drug was approved. Despicable.
