Are you worried yet.

I've tried Denmark, was ok but not me, bit boring, Ireland, I do like, but not supercar-friendly and generally expensive. Now nominally Luxembourg, liking it so far COVID permitting.

In Denmark I wanted to fit in and learn Danish (free lessons) but it was impossible, since everyone and I mean everyone spoke perfect English. Ireland is like UK 2.0 but so far LU/BE is a nice mix of being a nice place and and being a challenge, since French is the main language and you need to speak some at least which is the challenge part for me.

Je me casse....
I can confirm that the lady who serves the hot dogs in the kiosk at Billund airport does not speak a word of English....

Hmm. Accords quite closely with my opinion, and therefore makes me deeply suspicious.

Lo! Owned by a Russian organisation. Previously know as Russia Today.

In other information I see an peer reviewed study estimates that infections at the peak (so far) of the pandemic in the UK were quite possibly 3 times higher than recorded.

I love Ireland even with the extra expense and the children absolutely adore it - happy to pay a bit more in daily expenses as that is more than offset by the house price differential. Smaller house and mortgage in the UK too much bigger and no mortgage here but you have to be outside Dublin. Then there is university costs with two girls 11 & 12 likely to want to go in a few years time the fixed costs here are another saving.

I wonder if this is true!

Try reading some of the other news articles...



Or simply Googling. It takes seconds, I promise, and doesn't hurt a bit ;)

Having just come back from North Wales, I can confirm that social distancing is non-existent there, so are face masks, and they don't seem to have many cases......

Make of that what you will.

New lockdown rules announced reducing social gatherings down to no more than 6 people. Some exceptions like weddings & funeral and social bubbles to be detailed tomorrow but a definite step backwards.
Lets hope people take things seriously and it brings it back under control.
I imagine we will be seeing very different Christmases this year, might be a blessing in disguise ;)

Gentlemen of the forum, you will all have woken up to the new covid restrictions that I have introduced under the law which I expect you all to obey and adhere to.

No more than 6 of you online visiting the sportsmaserati house at one time please.

Dominic and I believe that the law is the law, it must always be respected and absolutely no attempt must ever be made to circumvent it by any member or the public, member of parliament or indeed the government. We would never do that.

In other news here’s an artist ps impression of my new “tat”

So what?
Do you trust the news our media gives us........?
The Uk Govt sure ain’t good at telling the truth.

If the infection rates were that high in means the death rates are even lower.....

According to Dr John Campbells daily blog on YouTube, there is a growing view that in the UK, the actual number of daily infections at the so called peak of the pandemic was running at 5 times what was being reported because the sad fact is that the UK didnt have a robust process or system in place to really capture the data in the right way. We still dont and unless all 66,000,000 people in the UK are tested, we will never know the true extent of the virus spread.

Not heard the '5' but not at all surprised. It's a bit like the lack of snowploughs though, with regard to testing.

Which makes me also wonder if all the people that are testing positive are actually infected (and I'm not talking about the margin of error of the test) Given that the vast majority (so far) appear to be totally asymptomatic.
