Re: ante covid vaccination
People are being warned about fake vaccine scams after a 92-year-old woman was visited at her home and paid £160 to have a fake injection in her arm.
Police in London said that it happened in the Surbiton area of London and that the man told her he was from the NHS.
The victim allowed the man inside her home and was jabbed in the arm with what she described as a "dart like implement".
The man then asked for £160, which the victim paid as he said it would be reimbursed by the NHS, before leaving the premises. On Monday, January 4, the same man attended the victim’s address again, and asked for a further £100.

Re: ante covid vaccination
Hi Cappy,
Yep I just had mine yesterday. Very slick operation although I left the girl on reception a bit nonplussed when she asked me if "I consented to having it". When I answered "I never refuse a young and attractive women", the more senior lady to her left almost fell off her seat laughing.

Red Backs, no worries mate they are not that harmful, most runaway when they see me coming with the fumigation gun.
But Huntsman spiders, now that is another story.
Pick them up and put them outside, Terri is not keen on them, some almost the size of a bloody saucer.

Re: ante covid vaccination
Best of the Big Bunch though John
We get a lot here in Katoomba, always hiding under the Large Hanging Pictures , every now and then we have to go around lifting to see behind and always find a lovely large one , but thank goodness they will not harm you, so i just calmly grab them with a gove of course in case, and take them outside.
But guess they will eventually make their way back in.
Nice game !

Re: ante covid vaccination
Here is something to think about, every spider is deadly, the only thing is that they're probs are mostly to weak to penetrate that skin.

Re: ante covid vaccination
There was a very interesting time hidden deep in the net news yesterday.
It centered around the reason as to why some suffer very badly with the Virus whilst others appear to be immune to it.
It is all to do with your Gut.
In your gut there are millions of microbes and bacteria which control indirectly your immune system.
If the balance is correct then your immune system will be at it's maximum.
Gut bacteria may influence COVID-19 severity and immune response, while diabetes was found to add risks to black patients infected with the virus, studies showed.
However if it is low then you are far more vunerable to all manner of illness.
The food we eat is the source of all the microbe we have in our gut, eat healthy and you should be fine, too much of the wrong food and problems will develop.
Many eat Yoghurt for the good bacteria it contains, and there are many other foods high in such bacteria.
A good healthy diet should contain all of the five food groups with fresh fruit and vegetables at the top of the list.
Foods such as Chicory, Almonds and eve Red wine, my favorite, are a good source of the correct food for a healthy gut.
It comes back to the old saying, 'you are what you eat'.
No doubt Victoria with her nursing background can answer any questions on this matter, cut and paste will not do it, we need to keep it in simple terms.
