Sorry Chris, but I don't think it's as agile & manouverable as a Tornado. Though of course I am no expert on these things! I was trained to make medicines!

The lone ranger & Tonto were out on a mission. When they were surrounded by Indians. The lone ranger said:
"We are in trouble Tonto!"
Tonto said:
"what do you mean WE KIMO SABE?'
So the lone ranger whispered into his horse Silvers ear.
The next day Silver brought back a gorgeous lady, Susie.
They went into a cave for a day.
The next day the lone ranger whispered into Silvers ear & he came back with the beautiful Jude on his back.
They went into the cave for a day
The Indian Chief said
"You have a very wise horse, but tomorrow you will die!"
Then the lone ranger asked to speak to silver in the confines of the cave.
The Chief agreed.
So the Lone Ranger got his mouth up to Silver's ear & yelled:
"Fetch Possy!"

A passenger got on a Boeing 747. Next to him was a labrador & what looked like a security officer. The passenger asked:
"What's your dog doing up here?"
The Security officer said:
"He's a sniffer dog!"
Then he said:
"Rover seek"
He went up the left aisle, came back & put his left paw on his handlers hand.
The Security guard said:
"He's carrying cannabis, we'll get him at the next airport.
Then he said:
"Rover seek"
He went down the right aisle & put his right foot on his handlers hand.
The handler said:
"He's carrying Cocaine, we'll get him at the next airport"
Then the handler said:
"Rover Seek"
He went down the back aisle & sprinted back & then crapped all over his seat!
The Passenger said:
"Jeesalou, whats wrong with your dog?!"
The Security officer turned white & said:
"Rover just found a b b b b b bomb!

Re: Hi

 

There are a lot of things we can't explain. I was fuming when physicists on a TV show were slagging of Jane Goodall:


Physicists can't explain how one photon or electron can go through a Youngs slit experiment & create a wave interference pattern. How does it know the other slit is there?
AND if you think that is weird there's the Einstein Podolsky Rosen phenomenon, what Einstein called "spooky action at a distance".
Northern Ireland physicist theorised how this could be:


But moreover French Physicist Alain Aspect got experimental data on quantum entanglement which proved that if you examine the spin of one photon entangled with another it will INSTANTLY go into the opposite spin state. I'm not talking at the speed of light here. IT IS INSTANT. You cant transmit data by this means, but how freaky is that?


I guess my seizures cannot be explained, but I think the stress of a drug dealer next door, at my last address, had a lot to do with it. It's gone down one hundred fold since I moved away

Re: Hot hot hot

 

The Pfizer vaccine seems to have the least allergic reactions if I recall correctly so if you need a vaccine I think that's the one you should go for. I've got hellish chest pains. I think it's referred pain from the compression fractures in my spine, but who knows? Never smoked, but have been known to drink

My neurologist chap is immune compromised he said so will be doing it but said I would have to rely on herd immunity with my history.?

In Australia there has been good acceptance of mask wearing and distancing when govt. says so. Some stores have signs no mask no entry.?

But when it comes down to it it¡¯s up to you to police you for your own benefit, not police everyone else. That¡¯s how I look at it. ?So on that basis when required we wear a mask.

I limit visits to stores and limit time I am there. I only shop about every ten days. If anyone is showing signs of coughing or flu I move away or leave.?

If I need a tetanus jab or anything GP sends me off for blood test first to test my immunity so I don¡¯t have to risk anything I don¡¯t need.?

I am not against vaccinations but I myself will not be queuing because of my food intolerances and reactions to prescribed medicines and anaphylactic episodes. It started with a raging pencillin allergy and has got worse over the years. I have never had a flu vax - but then I¡¯ve never had the flu. Last time my husband drove me to hospital covered in hives and swelling up ?I was on a drip for 2 hrs because I¡¯m allergic to the propellant in cortisone injections.
