Hi JS
Although i still do love France and all it has to offer, it is shameful that this is happening, i hope as you mention they will resume soon.

According to early morning news the lay in charge of EU is taking control of the meetings with Boris now.
I think the EU know they have more to lose than UK if no deal reached.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Apparently a Dover: "Agreement" has been struck but,
hauliers are still advised not to travel to Kent, with the backlog likely to take days to clear.

Re: ante covid vaccination

Re: ante covid vaccination
Just back from the Super Market, and with the small Covid scare going on mostly in the Northern Beach Areas, i was stunned to see that once again even here in the Mountains the Shelves of Toilet Paper are Empty and a limit has been placed once again!
This is ridiculas to say the least, what are People panicking about when after over 44000 tested Yesterday only 8 wee detected and 7 of those were in the Northern Beaches Cluster, noting of a case yet up here so???
Cheers

Re: ante covid vaccination
Amongst all this Covid panic which has now extended to the halt of coal shipments from Australia to China , by china, seeing what they deem loss of face by Australia insisting on an enquiry on how it’s dispersal point happened to be China in the first place. If you read how at least two cities in Husan Province has been forced to shut down electricity supplies and most manufacturing has been forced to shut down , one can see it is the people once again who are taking the brunt of politicians decisions. As regards the hot shot music jock who pulled the premier of WA to pieces for his insistence of putting the border back again, he should get back to playing his records , which is probably the only job he is capable of doing , he like a few others are just mis-spelt bankers. I am not a particular
Politically minded person as often said , but the present incumbent for WA will be getting my vote the next election. Although having a legal background he was a member of the Australian Navy so will be used to military discipline , and also to their training which is continuous so will be aware of the film that some of us saw who did the MN defence course in the early 60s on ABC warfare , and the only defence against radiation poisoning was segregation and quarantine , put both these diseases in the same class , and I would vote for the one with a military background who will also have the guts to enforce it. So to the Eastern jockstrap with the big mouth - up yours and many of them. Cheers JWS.
