I don't know if anyone else noticed on last night's Taskmaster how exquisite Katherine Parkinson's shoulders are! (Probably just me!)

And for me too, LG! ;) EDIT: not sure if that means the same as "pro-boner" ...

Just catching up with Britain's Most Historic Towns on All4 catch-up, and i'm developing something of a thing for Prof Roberts! Delightful Bristolian lilt to her accent, and the discussion about her knickers in the episode about the Tudor era was quite pleasant! Been locked down too long...

This is very odd! Whatever happened to the innocent art of photocopying your arse??!

... but by the same tone, someone of South Asian (i.e. Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan) MIGHT be offended by being called black. Hence black people using the term BME rather than the accepted BAME is actually being quite offensive! It's a minefield for us honkies, even if we have the...

I'm absolutely convinced that medicines, vaccines and the like that come to market in the UK (particularly those which have been through development in the UK) are safe, and the data from Phase III clinical trials seen by the oversight body (Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Authoity...

The difference between "People of Colour" (acceptable) and "Coloured people" (offensive) is that Coloured was used as a means of discrimination particularly during the years they suffered segregation in the USA. That's the basis of it. I was having a candid discussion with a colleague from...

New estate built on what was a golf course? There's one in our village called Hillcrest - flat as a pancake!!

The Valneva vaccine in the table that @Bugsy posted earlier in the thread appears to be an inactivated live virus. I have never heard of Valneva, but it's possibly a recent merger of companies that were more widely-known (note that these mergers and name changes often happen as a result of a...

I will wait patiently in line until they get down to my category (55-60, no known underlying health problems - touch wood), then i will willingly have it. I simply do not understand the conspiracy theorists, anti-vaxxers and other collective frothers who believe this is all set up to track...

I'd rather people muted themselves when they aren't contributing (so why are they there at all, you might ask!), as the "noises off" can be really distracting, but the learning curve really shouldn't be that steep, as @skyblue1991 says

Absolutely fucking spot-on!! And in some cases, these are people who have been put in positions of authority regarding Covid response in major educational establishments (mentioning no names) Fucking clueless! Oh, and Chris "I'm Very" Whitty and Patrick Unbalanced needing to ask the...

Look, can we take this offline? Grrrr!

Nick, are you actually going around town TRYING to find "pacific" things to annoy you now?

Was it Jeremy Vine talking about Imperial measurements again?

Most of them are just vain beyond belief!

They annoy me too - particularly if they then moan that everyone's commenting on how nice her pics look, and does she fancy a date, etc!

This is fallout from "reality" programmes like The Apprentice, where they have to hold them like that for the sound guy to pick them up - the yoof of today now think that is normal behaviour! Twats!

Yeah - not for flu though. Lowest figures in a couple of decades. Not only were people (and viruses) not circulating, but it was a mild winter (highly correlated with low death rates) and the Covid-19 got those most likely to die from flu
