    Personal experience of Covid (Autumn/Winter 2021-22)

    Are you able to provide any alternative suggestions to the original poster? Because nobody else seems to have much constructive advice beyond take a paracetamol and call 999 if you can't breathe.

    Media Coverage of COVID -19

    That was their call. I didn't ask/coerce/force them to. The Virus may very well have run its course regardless.

    Media Coverage of COVID -19

    The UK's MHRA take on it (copied verbatim): Regulation 174 Information for UK recipients This medicinal product has been given authorisation for temporary supply by the UK Department of Health and Social Care and the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. It does not have a...

    Media Coverage of COVID -19

    Thank you Mike WM, you've hit the nail on the head, exactly my thoughts. Give it another year or two and I might be happy to have the jab, although perhaps there'll be less need for it then.

    Media Coverage of COVID -19

    Well I'm sorry, but if that means risking my own health on an undertested jab, then I'm afraid I'm going to take the selfish option. It's really all about the virtue signalling these days, isn't it! :rolleyes:

    Media Coverage of COVID -19

    I don't think it inserts a chip or changes my DNA. However, I am aware that this type of vaccine (mRNA) has never been licensed for human use before. The vaccines have no long term test data, because there hasn't been a 'long term' - this part of the testing process simply cannot be accelerated...

    Lower Sector Vehicle Gauge

    Same as what zwk500 said. Clearances below 1100 above rail level. Full dimensions for the W6A vehicle gauge are given in this standard: https://www.rssb.co.uk/standards-catalogue/CatalogueItem/GERT8073-Iss-4 Attached a diagram from GC/RT/5212 which shows the lower sector dimensions which have to...

    Bogie / Chassis connections

    Thanks 37057, that's very useful. I've stumbled across a webpage which explains a lot of what I was pondering, thought I'd share in case it's useful to others. http://www.railway-technical.com/trains/rolling-stock-index-l/bogies.html

    Bogie / Chassis connections

    Hi all... for a while I've been pondering a couple of things about how bogies connect with the chassis of a rail vehicle. I know this will be simple stuff to somebody out there, perhaps you could enlighten me! 1) I assume bogies have some sort of central pivot pin, or bearing, which the vehicle...

    Do we trust the experts in regard to COVID-19?

    The director of public health in my local authority has tweeted the 1 in 40 figure. If it's really that high, surely it can't be very long before it inevitably reaches a peak, and then declines? https://twitter.com/DeborahHarkins/status/1322266908297670661

    Do we trust the experts in regard to COVID-19?

    In Yorkshire the 'experts' are now claiming 1 in 40 people have the virus. If this is really the case, then I can't imagine that anything will now stop or supress it. Does anyone know how long it would take to spread from 1 in 40 to literally everyone catching it? I see this as good news...

    UK face coverings discussion

    Don't suppose you can remember which programme this was on SJN? I'd be interested to see (and share!) it.
