Yes, they certainly do have the lowest risk of dying. Unfortunately, as a social group, they also have the greatest capacity to spread it to those who may be at the highest risk.

‘Be sensible’. The problem is that a huge swathe of the population are not sensible and never will be, so there has to be rules to protect them from their own ignorance. Sadly the good have to suffer with the bad.

Margie lives in Ely, far In getting there I go by car, To take her presents, I wrap and box 'em If she's not there, I go to Wroxham.

Thunder crashes from rock To rock, the cataracts reply, Lightning’s dazzle our eyes. Apparently not ! Disjointed, discordant, metaphysical nonsense.

No Margie, it doesn't. Hydropower is also the lowest carbon. Whilst many are uncomfortable with it for obvious reasons, the most effective form of energy with low carbon is nuclear energy.

Regardless of the monetary price there is the environmental and human price to pay for renewables. this is a price that no developer talks about. Rare Earth minerals are not called that for nowt. They are scarce and essential for renewable power generation. This means that they are of a premium price and so valuable that in the few places where they are found, the populations and land have been devastated in order to extract the minerals. There are two main centres for strip mining rare earth minerals; The Congo and China. Mining in the Congo has led to a civil war being fought over the lands

Seems like we will be in local lockdown from Friday judging by the news. It was surely obvious by what had happened in Manchester and was it Glasgow in Scotland what would happen when the students arrived here. All kudos to the university for doing tests on, I believe all or a majority, of the students whether showing symptoms or not, were tested pity more of this isn’t done. There are outbreaks at 2 prisons as well swelling the numbers, that must be a nightmare scenario to control, wonder if visitors are checked in any way (temperature possibly) before being allowed in? I had a look at the

Will send Jill round with some of her pupils. Or ask my Auntie Iris.

Yep.. and they are getting cornea and cornea... Good job my jovial nature lens me a good sense of humour

Disused stations website. Victoria Station

Didn't he used to work with Stan Laurel ?

BK used a teapot to Brew his cup of tea but then he went and painted it, so now he drinks coffeeeee

Yesterday we lost two artists from different parts of the musical spectrum Rocker and guitarist Eddie Van Halen aged 65 probably best known for "Jump" Reggae singer Johnny Nash best know for "I can see clearly now" The soundtrack of my youth gets ever quieter.

Really, you two. Have you no soul? Wonderful and atmospheric command of the English language. Must try harder!

Thanks for the link of the bus routes Cliff Ton it helped unlock a few memories for me and confirms in my mind where the 18 terminus was. I was born in my aunts' house on Longmead Drive 75 years ago this week. When I was about 10 I used to catch the 18 bus from Trinity Square to Longmead and can remember clearly now sitting on the top deck and looking in the churchyard. During the journey there was a water works/pumping station somewhere near the junction of Hucknall Road and Haydn Road. The route then carried on to Edwards Lane and turned off into Alderton Road, at the crossroad with Longmead

Does Hydro electric power need expensive minerals to run it after the initial cost of setting up the power plant?Or wave/tidal power (which is also HEP of course.). I’m genuinely curious. For the sake of future generations we have to do something as our selfish energy-greedy lifestyles are hell bent on destroying the planet in one way or another.

I'll soon be in contact.

‘Eye eye’ Captain!

I trust you pencilled in any mistakes.

I browsed your post BK.

It's ironic that EVH might be best known for Jump but I never liked that song. I always thought it has the weediest, most feeble synthesiser sound ever put on record. The guitar break is good, but that's all. He also did the guitar on Michael Jackson's Beat it. That definitely sounds good.

The City transport map was most probably from the early 40s with the 28 route starting later in the 40s together with moving the number 6 terminus later in the 40s. As their map shows, at the time of printing, there was no number 28 route and the 6 stopped at the far end of Gainsford, your memory is from the late 40s.

None of those threats BK. I have contacts in high places.

It sounds as though somebody is due to a few lashes. Or maybe they're too highbrow. ( Don't blame me, I'm still learning).

No Margie,,,i was trying to find out who had 'nicked' all the Takings..........lol

Ben. Did you take any of the staff on or were they all unsuitable?

Cease and desist it's getting worse, you are making spectacles of yourselves, but I'll keep an eye out for more puns

If he has 2 pairs can he lens me a pair.

Let's hope he doesn't get framed.

At least Col was far sighted in having a second pair of glasses. Hopefully they'll eventually be a spectacular outcome.

Yeah - socket to him!

.... you win.....

Or aqueous... I'm pretty fluid...

Groan.... vitreous humour presumably...

DJ 360 Didn't you know that Jaguars are notoriously unreliable and have quality problems. Might have been worse you could have bought Range Rover frames.

Given the failure at the end of last season and the dismal start this year it was inevitable. Having a revolving door for managers is not the solution, there is something more fundamentally wrong within the club. A good start for Chris Hughton would be to clear out all the under performing players, particularly the international imports and develop a coaching/ scouting system to develop local talent. I would rather they lose bringing through local talent than lose with a lot of overpaid prima-donnas with no passion, pride or commitment to the club.

Just a point to ponder. The very very best solar panels are at their peak 25% efficient at converting solar energy into electricity. This drops off depending on the angle of the sun hitting the panels, the amount of dirt and dust on the panel and the age of the panels. They are also vulnerable to large hailstones as many people in OZ have found out recently. We have 6Kw installed on our roof and a solar hot water system. A lot of the electricity generated goes into running the pool pumps but for nine months of the year we pay nothing for hot water heating. Not sure what I will do when these ne

Hate to sound pessimistic but I think nature will solve the problem with or without our assistance. Something will annihilate a large proportion of the world's population and balance will be restored. There won't be a housing shortage then and life will be very different. Nothing is forever. All situations and problems are temporary...and so are we!

I dislike wind farms. My son lived in Bedfordshire by the A5 until about 5 years ago when Planning was given for a large wind turbine just across a couple of fields from their house. Even though it was at least 200m away they could hear it whirring away. They moved. Actually, when that son was at Loughborough University studying Geography the only student who gained a First Class Degree on his course was a lad whose dissertation was about wind farms. That was in 1998, before wind turbines were blotting our landscape. As for the loss of our countryside, the enormous distribution cen

The way in which we see the planet must change. It’s no good thinking that the idyllic countryside of yesteryear should and will always remain the same. . It’s our greedy use of electricity that has accelerated the need for the so -called ‘ugly’ solar and wind farms. We will increasingly rely on renewable resources and we need to embrace these if we want to maintain our energy-hungry lifestyles. In a hundred years, (if the world is still here) I think the people will probably be amused at our attitudes today, just as we are vaguely amused at people’s horror at the advent of the rail
