Norman, I think NickP was talking about the flu jab rather than the anti-covid. Certainly I was ONLY talking about the flu one.
Anyway, to your query about waiting an interval of time between the flu and anti covid jabs. Here is my contribution, or at least that of the pharmacien. He said to wait 3 weeks after the flu jab or after a covid injection.
I was asking for OH. As for myself, my inclination is still to wait a bit. Our cases of new infection are very few in the Dordogne and no deaths from covid for the past 7 days.
Chemists obviously have differing views regarding intervals between flu and Covid Jabs. My Chemist did both within seconds, one in each arm!! Not even a mention of a waiting period. I haven't suffered any ill effects whatsoever and can't really see why anyone should. No one has explained why there should be a gap between the two. Patently if you are going to suffer a reaction from one, or both, then it will happen regardless as to a time span. As for the person giving the jab, well; let's face it a child could do it!

How long this freedom will continue is anybody's guess as Macron is now cosying up to Xi Jinping of the CCP.
Renault has also announced a joint venture with Geely.
The hypocrisy across the board is quite staggering. I read that two thirds of Christmas cards sold in the U.K are made in China. The average person will say we should 'do something' about China, then goes out and buys their products!! The motor industry all the way down to cups and saucers, all made in China! Their market share is mind blowing! Politicians will do what ever is necessary to boost their popularity and if it means cosying up to China or Russia they will. France, in any event is only doing what Germany has already done!

Is it still cheaper Ken. Last time I did in the summer when I was near Girona, it certainly was not cheaper than here!
Trust me, Yes. The difference was much reduced by the subsidies the French applied but of course that will soon change. I also have a 'fidelity' card with Repsol which gives a discount. A garage cheaper still on the Frontier is Avia but as we have a card for Repsol we get a better rate there. There is yet another garage at the same place, Cepsa; which is always empty because the price of fuel is considerably higher than the other two. How it has remained in business is a mystery.
All in all at the Dancharia frontier there Five Petrol stations, all vying for business and always full of French registered cars. Yes, it is cheaper. My car has quite a thirst and a large tank so usually I'm putting in around 80-90 ltrs.

No problem for me, I fill up inSpain!! One of the advantages of living in the pays Basque.

It's a question of expediency. The pharmacy does the jabs perfectly well and so I use them. sentimentality doesn't enter into it at all!

and your reply reminds me of a standard bot response.
In answer to your question, unless you can give me 'incontestable proof' that you are in fact a human being I can assure you that I am more of an adult that you will ever be.
Yes it sounds like you are very adult. I did need your assurance as I couldn't believe you were!

Because incontestable proof doesn't exist.
No one can prove the world is round
Nobody can prove that things will always fall down when you drop them.
No one can prove that the stars are far away.
No one can even prove that you exist Ken. You may just be a figment of my imagination which itself might be an algorithm in a computer network.
prove me wrong.
Your reply is the way a child would write something out of frustration. Incontestable proof doesn't exist! I take it you are an adult?

No, your turn.
You find me a 'proof' that isn't contested by someone, somewhere.
You find me an example of your high standard.
The earth is round? Still contested by some.
Man landed on the moon? Contested by even more.
Sandy Hill Massacre? Anyone??
I'm not the one saying climate change is caused by man, you are. So give the proof, incontestable proof; you can't! The items you quote are contested, by the same idiots going on about climate change!!

I note you haven't answered the question Ken.
What would you accept as proof.
How about unequivocal proof. If that's difficult to understand try 'proof' that hasn't been contested. Off you go, scour the internet; must be some irrefutable proof out there I feel sure!

Do you mean this UEA? The one where Professor Phil Jones worked? Where he colluded to alter past temperature records, so the data would fit the theory?
While it doesn't prove NASA's involvement - I've got some more on their antics for later!
Here's an email to Phil Jones of the UEA discussing how to do it.
I admire your persistency but really it is a waste of time. At the moment the looneys are in the ascendancy and are being fed by politicians looking out for themselves. These people make ALBF look reasonably stable!!

I have already acknowledged that since the dawn of time there have been numerous dramatic 'weather events' all over the world but what is happening now is that these events are becoming more frequent, in effect the 'weather patterns' have changed.
This is a short and simple piece from NASA which explains what I mean, the first two paragraphs from What is Climate Change? are the most relevant.
https://climate.nasa.gov/global-warming-vs-climate-change/
I read it and I haven't changed my views at all. And you still haven't given me any 'proof' that what is happening with regard 'disasters' or anything else is down to makind.

Ken, do you believe that any of the recent serious weather events are a result of mankind's mistreatment of the planet over the last 100 years or so?
No I don't. I really do believe that weather has evolved and will continue to do so. What people confuse either through ignorance or some agenda is that what man is doing to the planet regarding pollution is causing weather change. The two are entirely unrelated.
There can be no doubt that local conditions will affect a 'local climate' such as the 'smogs' that occurred in London blotting out the sun or a volcano erupting and the fallout causing mayhem locally. Globally though weather has and will continue to change, with or without interference from humans.
Natural effects such as the Gulf Stream speeding up or temporarily changing course, the air stream across the Atlantic doing the same affect the weather but they don't change course because man has affected them. The heat wave that is now over all of us is caused by high and low pressures bringing hot winds from the south, again man hasn't caused that; unless you know differently of course!!! If you could state one single case where something man has done to the planet has permanantly altered the weather on this planet I would be most surprised and not just swivel eyed loony beliefs but a case with evidence.

What is the point ? You will be pushing up daisies my friend long before the time comes. So it of no importance to you anyway. Enjoy your afterlife.
My kids on the other hand...!!!
I reckon 2050/60. Something like that. October 10th 2055 sounds good.
Pushing up daisies! And you are going to live forever? As for the dates and time; well you have fantasised so far so continuing obviously isn't a problem! You perpetuate the doomsday rubbish with no evidence other than that of the swivel eyed loons agenda with, probably a little bit of Hollywood thrown in, and obviously agree with; and you expect to convince people your forecast is right? You are right only with one point: When I'm dead it will be of no importance to me, one way or another but what makes you think you are different, because you have kids? I too have children! You spout rubbish with no evidence to support your childish predictions. Think about it, don't you think you are being silly with predictions that a child would make, a fantasy with no real basis for saying it?

We have no chance of altering climate change and its effects. It is far too late for that.
Humanity can't turn this one around.
As a civilisation, we are doomed. We are gone.
I reckon by 2050/60 the world will be pretty much dead.
Members of this forum will be long gone before that but our kids, Grandchildren will die a very slow death.
Scary innit.
Why not forecast race horse winners? Makes as much sense, more so really, than just regurgitating nonsense about the end of the world! As for being scary, only If someone is daft enough to think that is what is going to happen in 30 or 40 year's time. I don't suppose you can give an exact date I suppose, perhaps a time even?

Ever heard of the great storm of 1703?
"The storm was unprecedented in ferocity and duration and was generally reckoned by witnesses to represent the anger of God, in recognition of the "crying sins of this nation". The government declared 19 January 1704 a day of fasting, saying that it "loudly calls for the deepest and most solemn humiliation of our people". It remained a frequent topic of moralising in sermons well into the 19th century.[7]"
This occured before the industrial revolution, diesel SUV's, jet aircraft, gas central heating etc - so what was the cause?
Weather? Climate? Climate is what is expected. Weather is what you get.
Wasting your time I'm afraid! The weather is evolving but unfortunately some human beings are not!!

Another denier of global warming. Having been caught up in Hurricane Ian just four weeks ago and witnessed the devastation first hand it's clear to see what we have done to the planet.
We're likely to have record high temperatures this weekend followed by a week of solid rain, that's not evolution but a complete destruction of normal weather patterns.
Another ignorant 'supporter of 'global warming'. I haven't denied that global temperatures have increased or there is less rain or anything else including 'tornadoes' or hurricanes in Tunbridge Wells! Instead off simply following the idiots who claim to know the answers do a little research on the subject. If the dipsticks who advocate their nonsense gave it some thought they might , perhaps, wonder why there still isn't an ice age!!

Torn between loving this weather and hating it! Loving the warmth, sun and being able to walk around in shorts and a 'T' shirt but hate the lack of rain. The pays Basque needs a lot of rain and this month , so far, we have had only 10mm. which is hardy worth considering given the temperatures. This morning at 5o/c is was 25.C with humidity at 48%. I keep a daily record of the weather and have done so for many years.
I don't worry about so called global warming or any of the other nonsense concerning the weather. It has always evolved and will continue to do so. It would be nice to have some rain but keep the warm weather though; never happy!!!

I told the PJ guys to drive him away because he could have been lynched. Because maybe it's not him.
And therein lies the problem with vigilantes. Once a mob gets going it doesn't seem to matter if someone is innocent or not. The Police may have all sorts of faults but without them we would be in big, big trouble. The sad truth also is, people believe what they read!!!

I don't really believe you represent the majority of Brits, however many guns you have😀
I do not pretend to represent the majority of Brits. neither do I, as you do, profess to know what the majority are like. I know what some are like though!!

Familiarity is more than likely the reason the woman was killed. I see these 'hunters' all the time down here in the Pays Basque and many of them simply do not adhere to basic rules regarding weapons. It is understandable because they are wandering around for hours and days with a loaded weapon and they become blasé but non the less it is irresponsible. When handling a gun, any type of gun certain rules are not for interpretation.
The man is being investigated by the Police and , I understand, has been charged with some form of manslaughter. There is a possibility of a prison sentence but I have never heard of one, at least no one actually being locked up, a suspended sentence is more likely; perhaps with a hefty fine. As for the majority of Brits not being used to guns, a rather ridiculous thing to say. I'm a 'Brit' and have had guns for many years as have many other 'Brits' I don't know of any Brit who has killed someone in a hunting accident or even murdered someone with a gun in France!

I agree with the comments that hunting accidents occur every year in France. The only reason I thought this particular incident was of interest/newsworthy was that the person killed was a British woman.
Range shooting is very different to hunting. (I have done both)
Indeed they are different; With one you kill, maim or wound deliberately; or accidentally! The other , on a range, is safer and you don't kill or pander quite so much to the 'macho' image!!
-
Several people are killed every year during the hunting season, all of them accidents but accidents that can be avoided. By definition though an accident is, well an accident!
I target shoot and have several guns. At the range the protocol is very strict. No gun is ever loaded unless it is going to be used. When not being used it is unloaded and left untouched. The weapons I use range from Magnum .38 to a .22 target pistol, both very deadly. Others have a range of weapons that are even more powerful.. In over 23 years there has never been an accident of any description. Wth this latest hunting accident carrying a loaded rifle over the shoulder, with or without the safety catch on is crass stupidity, it shouldn't happen. Familiarity with guns is partly to blame but is no excuse. An avoidable accident. He has to live with his stupidity now!!

Brits under the age of 80, few of whom have never been near any form of armed service, tend to go bananas when offered the chance to use a firearm. Something they know nothing about and for which they have no respect.
The average rural Frenchman, even though liable to partake of a few bevvies when on a so-called hunt, at least has some idea of safety.
A Frenchman kills a woman and Brits are somehow are implicated! Presumably you , at least, feel there is some connection but I doubt anyone else does. Surprised you didn't include Brexit!
