  1. Well, there we are, the Continent is cut off???
  2. Well, put it this way, for every day of delay, x thousand people will die!
  3. My feeling is that many French people are watching to see what happens with Brexit. If it works then they will become keener of Frexit, especially if other countries are gonna pull out. Watch the Danes, the Poles, the Hungarians.
  4. One, declare a state of Emergency to give the requisite powers, two, get the Army medical service to use their mobile medical units, three request all doctors and medical nurses, testing labs etc to block book complete days for vaccinating, including pharmacies. Transport the vaccine in freezer trucks in the boxes, such as the huge ones used for supplying supermarkets ( there are enough to keep the food supply going as well), as well as cargo planes of practical. Vaccinate those who are willing, come to the refusniks later as this takes pressure off the system. It takes less than five mins to jab people, so make appointments or have walk-ins. There is plenty of advice available on TV or radio and information can be given at the door. There is a solution there somewhere. This is loke Mc Connell holding up the $2000 survival money for the US population on the grounds that it costs too much. He is right, when they are dead it will cost less.
  5. I have always been an outsider anywhere I have lived; nowadays I no longer recognise the UK which feels a hostile environment and not having been born French means I’ll never be fully ‘here’.
  6. So far, no valid reasons for the slow roll out of the programme. It is being held up by atrophied and bloated bureaucracies which are unable to respond.
  7. Oxford vaccine approved today, roll out starts on 4 Jan.
  8. Yes, Norman, a complex issue that I was aware of. All sorts of possibilities there, but England could be the major beneficiary. Bridgend was a diesel engine factory, wasn't it, not needed any more? Bad news though.
  9. Having made the Brexit decision it is up to the Nation to either sink to the level of an unhappy, scruffy, drunken little offshore island, or strike out and build a new world future.
  10. suif in French? or saindou, though that is pork. Best is graisse de rognon, perhaps?
  11. Well, my little bird gets her first jab this week. Seems France has forgotten the ‘can do’ spirit!
  12. I think that French radio said yesterday that the vaccine had yet to be delivered. Alternatively this is what happens when the medical establishment gets too far from the reality on the ground. They need a sharp instrument in a painful place! Just what happened in UK when the procurement arm of the NHS was unable to respond to the very urgent need for PPS kit, being utterly unable to get beyond established and very slow procedures.
  13. Walked on the beach today, lovely and mild. But not the same without big doggy.
  14. albf, do you reckon Barnier or Xavier Bertrand might run against Macron at the next Presidential election? Apart from the NF there seems no one else at the moment.
  15. ALBF, go out for a walk, enjoy the beauty of Nature, play with the kids and dont listen to the family, friends, neighbours etc bitchin. By the way, could we please not use the word ‘shit’ on the forum, not nice?
  16. Norman, how was your Xmas dinner?
  17. I HAVE SURVIVED. Now back to bed with a good book!
  18. Merry Xmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year to you all.
  19. Apparently they were haggling over a basket full of herring right up to the last moment. Herring matters in this area as the locals go mad for the things.
  20. Amazon fine. Wonder if the PO has been using trucks for general Xmas mail in which case check Dover or Folkestone
  21. Absolutely. Heck, some of my best spider friends have gone down the deadly suction tube, even pretty Petunia who cleared every flying creature in the bathroom, though she did leave a few drained carcasses.
