you are partly correct, it suits me down to the ground. I doubt you would be accepted though they don't like your sort here, they don't like your sort anywhere, the clock is ticking, enjoy while you can.

I wouldn't even class him as a troll, some sort of attention seeker maybe, or just plain "special"

your on the system pal they have you earmarked as a wrong'un

Walk being the operative word, you should consider selling your Tmax, whatever one of those is, your card has been marked and your days are numbered

even though you did not have one? They would not say that No they didn't say that either Your entire post is total fictional rubbish, I would be very interested to know why you bothered,

Couldn't agree more georgina, You said you had blocked me, how disappointing that is not the case, do you not know how to? Still no apology for accusing me of being a "closet pedo" ? come on you know you you want to

In the link you posted yesterday to the mayo clinic, the CDC advice quoted there was, well a little different The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends wearing masks if you choose to, and in specific places and situations. In areas that have many people with COVID-19 in the hospital, the CDC recommends wearing a face mask indoors in public. recommends wearing a mask if you choose to ok you go with that then

In the UK it was claimed (unsurprisingly) that covid was a "racist virus" as it disproportionately affected them So its fair to assume that their masks didn't help much either The beards don't help when wearing masks, the men had similar problems

Nobody could disagree with that !

Generally referred to as the good old days too. Seriously I wouldn't worry too much, we'll all be dead and buried before the proverbial hits the fan properly

Did you even read my post , if so what part of ... " As soon as Thailand opened up with the "test and go " scheme I like many people was keen to return . I had finished work about a month before my flight , and fearful of the consequences of testing positive on arrival I self Isolated for two weeks prior to commencing the journey, I live alone in the UK so it wasn't difficult to avoid contact with anybody. On the two occasions that I did leave the house for my pre flight PCR tests ( messed up the timing so had to do 2) I dutifully wore my mask" Did you find difficult to understand ? If I need a lesson from you on the incubation period of Covid I will ask for one I would be very wary of statistics If I were you, they can be very misleading to those who don't fully understand the concept

But you had your Fauci endorsed mask on, at least you should have done, you were totally safe, why concern yourself with those who didn't . Sounds like you were not so confident about your mask after all, Not unlike my self

Ha - afraid of a virus with a very low fatality rate , Do you worry as much about Flu and Dengue, ?

Would that be the same science that now thinks that men can become women? I'm not an anti masker, I wore mine, properly as and when required, I just didn't get upset about those who didn't, and I just didn't feel that safe amongst those who did,

Whether a complete stranger or anybody else for that matter wears a mask does not affect me in anyway, Its entirely up to them, I just remain skeptical of how much protection they actually provide. For the umpteenth time I wore mine as instructed, how does that make me an antimasker? Is it just because i was not scared enough to berate those who's beliefs were different to mine?

So how many times have you been infected with covid?

So as long as you had yours on you were safe, after all its proven beyond a shadow of doubt. I had mine on too, but remained skeptical regarding the benefits. Skeptical enough not to worry whether other people were wearing a mask or not. What I find concerning is people accepting whatever they are told, especially by governments, and agencies connected to them. Masks may well have reduced transmission but to what degree? Do you seriously believe that was the only reason for making people wear them. Can you not accept that it was the government's intention to scare people "witless" despite the likes of UK health minister being caught on tape saying so and that a visible sign of compliance was a necessary part of that? Uo to you as they say

believe what you want, masks did not prevent me and many others catching it

Or even worse , a wrap around plastic visor

The facts so far, I wore a n95 mask correctly pretty much exactly as recommended by the clinic in the link you posted, I was as careful as possible, why wouldn't I be? I was travelling to Thailand and from what I had been reading there were potentially unpleasant consequences for those testing positive. Despite me taking precautions I caught covid. Result, Any confidence I may have had in masks as a serious form of protection pretty much evaporated, although I still dutifully wore one, as and when required, no skin off my nose, but I couldn't care less whether others wore them or not Had I not caught covid I would probably have retained some confidence in wearing a mask, and that being the case, obviously I would still wear one as req'd, but still feel no compunction to criticise those who didn't wear masks, why would I , its up to them , and after all I was wearing mine.

Patently not, in my experience , If but if you find the idea comforting , then up to you. There is something to be said for blissful ignorance , but more to be gained from facing, what may be uncomfortable facts and drawing on personal experience .

I doubt the word tom or tomboy originated in Thailand. I am pretty certain it is a word they have taken from english. I remember as a young child, lets say around 5 or 6 years old, before any sexual notions had entered my head ( the good old days when kids were allowed to be kids) , most of the children. in the neighbourhood,boys and girls played together, Some of the girls, often the ones with older brothers, but certainly not exclusively, were just as enthusiastic about climbing trees, making dens, catching frogs etc as the boys were, they were not budding lesbians and did not become lesbians in later life as far as I know. They simply found girls games involving dolls and skipping etc boring and nowhere near as much fun as the stuff lads were into. They were commonly referred to by us other kids and indeed our respective parents as tom boys there was no sexual innuendo or covert meaning to this, as is only right and proper in the context of young kids. As I said before looking back these really were the good old days, they weren't perfect, we all knew not to talk to strangers, even if we didn't know exactly why, there were no puberty blockers, and there were no people trying to force us to deal with things we were really not ready for or capable of understanding. How times have changed and not for the better,

I didn't think that question would be so difficult to answer, There has been plenty of time to "phone a friend" and to "ask the audience" yet even the most articulate and intelligent posters on this thread are unable to answer. I can't believe that nobody knows

That was not really the essence of my post was it, ? I asked a question which so far two people. one of which is you. have responded to yet completely avoided trying to answer. I have no problem answering your question Yes my parents read me stories, normally at bed time. I can also remember my mother reading stories to my grandmother who was pretty much blind and bedridden in her later years . Now its your turn again, what is the reason why the transexuals were only interested in reading to kids, and not visually impaired elderly people who would no doubt enjoy it just as much, would that not have been as rewarding, I'm guessing one answer might be " all older people are transphobic to one degree or another" I doubt that is true, but in any case how would they know if they were visually impaired? R.S.V.P

Surgical quality masks are about the least effective masks that could be worn , they do not fit tightly around the face and are not even designed to prevent the spread of a virus. This was announced years ago . That is why the N95 masks became the recommended type ! The inefficiency of surgical masks in this respect is well understood by those who's work places them in close proximity to viruses, I didn't see any of those treating victims of ebola relying on surgical masks for protection. Kind of begs the question why were these useless pieces of cloth handed out like confetti ?
