FFS, no appointments after 3 pm!
Try after midnight. I failed for a week, trying during the day. Then idly tried at 1:30 am and had my pick of times/days.

Lucky you. I was just given a list of 10-minute slots from 8 till 3 in the afternoon. I'm guessing you went to a large scale makeshift centre. I'm going to my GP surgery. It would be handy if they could do home visits and administer the jab while I continue to trade. ;)

That's concrete proof that Bill Gates wants to stop you from trading and by the time you get back you might have even lost your edge

That's concrete proof?? :lol: :lol:

So he knows what time I trade, does he? I have to stop trading whatever time the appointment is, as I do when I visit the supermarket.

Mine is tomorrow. But booked through the govt vax programme. So maybe your problem was local. Certainly my GP practice has a terrible reputation. God help me if I need to rely on them for my survival.

Five hours without anyone posting to the forum since your post - that's got to be a record! :)

Appears the trick is to merely comment, rather lobbing incendiary rants about. :-) (Referring to me ranting, not you. Just to be clear. :-))

Merkel once again blaming the "British" variant.

But never the "Chinese" virus. Funny that.

That's because variants need a name to be distinguished from other variants, and it's origin seems a good fit. Viruses also need a name, but for reasons best known to them, the WHO named the virus SARS-CoV-2 instead of the Chinese virus. :)

I don't care what she calls it, I just don't like the hypocrisy of people screaming blue murder when someone refers to the virus as Chinese.

Kung Flu is still my favourite.

The bubonic plague never went away entirely, but if there ever was another epidemic there's no doubt what DT would call it. :)
