I've only ever bought one watch when I was 15 or 16 years old, which was a cheap one with a digital display that had a calculator, but the buttons were so small it was practically useless, unless you had tiny fingers. It didn't last long before I binned it, waste of money to be honest. Every other watch I have owned have been gifts and I still have three of them.
One an Omega analogue watch which stopped keeping the correct time and I really do need to get into the jewellers to be cleaned and repaired. I've had it for over 40 years but it's been put in it's box and put somewhere safe, one day I might find it.
Other than that I own two Pulsar watches both gifts from my wife, both analogue displays. One a chronograph, which I wear every day and have done for 30 years and other than the battery needing replaced it has never lost a single second in all that time. The other one is solar powered and I have only used it a couple of times (when my other one is in getting a new battery). It's just not the style of watch that I would ever really wear, too small and thin for my liking I prefer something more chunky on my wrist.
Speaking to TheJournal.ie, lecturer in immunology and host-microbe interactions at the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Limerick, Dr Elizabeth J. Ryan, said that viral tests for current cases of Covid-19 are “very specific” for material that is “only expressed by the Covid-19 virus”.
“Having a cold or flu won’t change that,” Dr Ryan said.
I'm still hoping that someone knows what they are doing though. It's all we've got at the moment.
But there are some establishments, retail and restaurants, that will feel the pinch
I think many of them will go under especially the smaller establishments, that's what is going to happen here anyway. It's unsustainable, they still have their bills to pay, they have no real money coming in and they've gone through most of their savings already, So I fear it's nigh on impossible for some of them to survive.
breaking away would not have enough money to cover things.
Ah Scotland, the first country in the world that couldn't afford to be independent. The most ridiculous statement that any unionist can ever come out with.
And for Sturgeon to keep being on tv every day is head shaking.
All that head shaking you appear to do is probably causing you an injury. It would most likely account for why you keep repeating the same old stuff over and over at least. I would stop doing it if I was you.
I live in California's Central Valley and I can tell you that following the "rules" of a lockdown is no guarantee
I don't think there was any guarantee that if the rules were followed then everything would be fine, definitely not here anyway. Impossible to do when your relying on people to do the right thing. People who even with the best intentions easily forget the rules, especially in the home.
When we got the first one lasting ages I got extremely bored as heck and my two sisters and brother live a distance away and I found boredom became a rapid groan as I also live myself.
Well boohoo for you.
Get back to me when you've been practically in isolation for 8 months then I might feel some pity for you.
It get's boring very quickly Colonel. I envy you being classed as essential. Hope you get to read your books eventually . I fall into the vulnerable group and I've barely seen a soul since March, it's no fun and not something I would recommend. Yet some people who will moan for moaning sake, are bleating because they can't go out for a coffee.
Our citizens have mostly given up on precautions, ergo the dramatic rise in cases in MS.
It's fatigue, we're all fed up with it, it's not natural as we are sociable creatures. I can understand why folk are just giving up taking precautions. But as we see, that has consequences and the case numbers go up.
Would you rather Scotland was like the rest of the UK where England, Wales and NI have been in lockdown for weeks. She has tried to keep things open as normal as possible, but that's never good enough for some folk. If folk would stick to the bloody rules then areas wouldn't be back in lockdown.
Smacking children was not some massive big wide fiasco
It's assault no matter how widespread it was. I would be arrested and charged with assault if I gave you a smack, a child deserves the very same protection.
Company taking advantage of a change which is fair enough if they are in that business. Use of a government logo isn't though and I believe they have been contacted about it. That could prove costly if it's pursued by the advertising watchdog.
It wasn't from the Scottish government. it was from a private company who used the Scottish Governments logo without permission to do so. As I understand it you only need to comply if it is a new build or if you are selling your home. Housing associations have to comply though. I certainly won't be paying to do it in my house. It's been put off anyway due to the Covid crisis.
