After looking at this again I'm not sure if we were looking for  "see denial" or "senile"?

It was a bit early in the day for me when I made that last post.

Unsub?
Bobby?

Could you enlighten us (or are they both correct)?  Smiley

Peace said under the deal Santos will go to prison for at least two years, though the judge said the plea deal may come with an estimated sentencing range between 6-8 years. He's set for sentencing Feb. 7 at federal court in Central Islip.

Under the agreement, Santos will have to repay at least $373,000.

That's not good, Greg.

We're supposed to be at the 'end' of the latest Covid wave here in Perth at the moment.

COVID-19 wastewater surveillance - WA Department of Health

I'm sure the next wave will be starting soon if what's been happening in the US over the past few months is any indication, at least one new variant has caused a huge wave there and I'm sure that variant is already here in Australia.

I've been trying to work out the best time to take my aunt to her dentist in Perth City for a check up and clean. I thought right about now might be good but now I'm not so sure.

Grappler does a lot of professing without a diploma. Mostly when not sober.


That's what professors do... I'm as drunk as Dave Allen or Dean Martin were in their comedy routines - only drink 1-2 socially about twice a week..... the 'drunk' image is just for the comedy routine and such... sure fooled you lot.... not that that is difficult at any time ....

Actually, grasshoppers - I've found a pub around here that serves pints of Guinness... worth a trip one day.

Horizon: An American Saga Chapter 1

Horizon: An American Saga is the first in Kevin Costner’s 4-movie Western epic.

I watched it yesterday, and really enjoyed it.

I pretty much agree with this review: https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2024/06/30/horizon-an-american-saga-chapte...

Yes, it is amusing.

Regarding COVID, my mother's agency carer told me this morning that many of her elderly clients have COVID at the moment.

And, an ambulance crew who attended my mother the other night said that RPH was full of it again.

It's everywhere!   Undecided

Oh, and again (for about the 10th time) why would people bother to get any more Covid vaccinations when now they believe "the pandemic is over", "it's just a cold" or "it's just like other common respiratory viruses"?

Especially when we've seen governments running vaccination advertising campaigns (WA, Queensland and now the UK) that don't mention Covid at all - despite the fact that Covid is still causing more sickness and deaths than all of the other illnesses  in their campaigns combined.

By the way - I'm still waiting for some proof that SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) is now just a "mild respiratory virus" as you keep claiming.

Susan here would like to know as well.

I think that the burden of proof should be on those who claim that "Covid is like other common respiratory viruses".

I haven't seem any science at all to support that assumption, but I have seen masses of scientific publications that say the opposite.


So, if you let me know when you have that proof it will be much appreciated.

I'm guessing you might be busy with organizing to send all those white flags you owe me (add another one after this post, btw) but you can leave those for now if you'd just hurry up with that proof.

Thanks. Smiley
