I‘m nearly 75 and I don’t think I’ve ever had the flu. Bad colds yes, even man colds and any man knows how bad they can be, but the flu…. no I don’t think I’ve ever had it. I’ll have a Covid jab when offered but not the flu jab. From what I‘ve read there are many different variants of flu. One...

The lunatics are taking over the asylum. I really don’t know where it is coming from, but there’s forces trying their damndest to drag this country into the abyss. I honestly think there’s outside (foreign) influences involved.

When things are going bad often a bit of confidence is needed. Hopefully for Wolves this may be it. Small steps.

I wonder how long it will be before Nuno has managed every team in the Premier League?

Unfortunately this is the way of the world. Those who are trying to protect the honest are often more criticised than the dishonest they are fighting against.

This is a good pointer as to why the UK is on a self destruct mode. Not because of ID cards per se, but because of whatever any government proposes or wants to introduce, the opposition and much of the population are against it. Much of this is not for any genuine logical reason, but because...

Bring it on. I'll just put it in my wallet next to my library card, bus pass & British Cycling membership card. They all have my name on them, plus other stuff I probably don't know about. Really don't see the problem.

I don’t need an ID card to let me know who I am, a mirror will do for that, ‘yup… that’s me……’ However if an ID card will let other people know who I am, then bring it on.

At the start of the Covid epidemic didn’t Trump suggest that Covid may be treated by injecting disinfectant into the body?

I feel it somewhat puzzling that Trump has singled out paracetamol, but has totally ignored the abundance of pharmaceuticals constantly advertised on US television, many of which have no medical certificate of safety.

I believe that a person could hypothetically live their whole adult life, or even their whole life, without leaving their house.

I see golf’s Ryder Cup is starting on Friday. Golf is yet another sport which used to be frequently televised now fading into obscurity. I very much doubt if I could name a handful of current top worldwide golfers. In fact off the top of my head I can name only two. Rory Mcllroy & Justin Rose...

As a 74 year old I often listen to Radio 2 on a Saturday morning with Tony Blackburn’s Sounds of the 60’s. I totally appreciate he is an acquired taste, but at 82 years I think he’s still one of the best DJ’s on the radio, although I also appreciate it’s a pretty low bar.

Making all the provisions for your Will and Funeral etc would be much simpler if you knew exactly when you are going to die, but (probably fortunately) most of us do not. At what age should you make a Will?

Yes I had thought of that after I asked the question, but there's also chance that the executors may die before you or you've simply lost contact with them and never gave your will a thought. There has to be some form of system that flags up if you have made a will.

The wife & I have done the same. One thing that I’m not sure about. If you make a will, but you don’t tell anyone you’ve made a will, when you die how will others know you’ve made a will? Do solicitors put your names onto something like a national database for example, so that when you die your...

Didn’t the DJ’s talk over the beginning and end of songs played on the radio to try to prevent unauthorised recordings?

If I was suddenly asked to take a theory test I’d like to think I’d pass, but in reality I probably wouldn’t. I’m nearly 75 and been driving 50+ years. In that time there’s been many changes and additions to the Highway Code much of which I’m sure would catch me out.

On the BBC News this morning it seems as though they have both a ‘Foreign Correspondent‘ and also an ‘International Correspondent’. Not really sure of the difference? I’m guessing they could do a job swop and no one would notice.

I’m glad someone else has said this, I feel the same. When you think of all the steps which are taken to deliver a letter or a card from A to B I’m surprised it’s this cheap. We don’t send letters nowadays because of the cost, but because of the ease & convenience of tapping out on a keyboard...
