I'm into WW2 history. Haven't seen Midway yet but will give it a go for a few quid. Dunkirk I thought was ok but not fantastic. Struggling to think of 'modern' WW2 films that are better than 'ok to good' though did enjoy 'Darkest Hour' with Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill Would love to have seen th...

It's easy to laugh at the car crash tv that is Trumps' press briefings but I genuinely think the guy is suffering from some form of dementia be it Alzheimer's or something else (just a layman's guess, I'm not a doctor) It's actually quite sad and disconcerting to see a POTUS floundering about in the...

Met him briefly and got his autograph many years ago (early 70's) when he came to open a small fete in Hendon, nice man.

Was working from home until yesterday then got a call from my line manager and a HR person to say I'm now on furlough. Bit surprised tbh but being paid 80% of my wage not to work doesn't seem too bad under the circumstances though can't help thinking it's a pre-cursor of future changes to come if/ w...

Well, at least I can give more volunteer time now if/when required, been informed by my employer I'm now on furlough until further notice..

Hmm, I hope so...don't want to be caught out with no MOT if it doesn't automatically extend! Website says you can check your MOT history a few days before the original expiry date and keep checking back until date of expiry to make sure it has been extended automatically as it should be. If it's st...

An amazingly beautiful woman. For me, one of the `big three` along with Alexandra Bastedo and Deborah Harry.

Agreed but I'd add Diana Rigg to the list..

The expiry date will automatically be extended on the day it expires (or possibly a few days earlier) so you won't be able to renew just yet.

Vintage Claret

My understanding is you still have to renew your tax on the due date, the MOT will be classed as still valid as the expiry date is extended for another 6 months

Not sure you can configure it as such DA, but from the e-mail I received today it says you may get alerts for tasks you didn't apply for so you can accept or decline whichever ones you choose. I think maybe because the situation seems to have escalated so quickly and they've had such a huge number o...

Not sure I'd include Gazza either even though he was well past his best and only played a handful of games.

Got my confirmation of acceptance e-mail today and downloaded the app.

From the 'around me' tab seems there are quite a few responder volunteers nearby.

Will be 'on duty' at the weekend but just wondering if anyone on the forum who has signed up has had any "shouts' yet and how did it go?

You can make yourself available as and when. Its run via an app and when you are available, you mark yourself as 'on duty'. If you can only do one day a week or even an hour thats fine.

Thats good, thanks Dushanbe, will get applying.

Can you volunteer on a one day a week (plus weekends)
basis?

I'm currently working from home 4 days a week but would be happy to help out on my day off which is a Friday usually but sometimes Monday.

So many ways to get it right and I avoided all of them...

Actually i meant to type 1 x 2.5 = 2.5, edited it now

I blame the tiny keyboard on this work laptop

It's right. 2.5 + (2.5 squared) + (2.5 cubed) + (2.5 ^4) + (2.5^5) = 405 1.25 + (1.25 squared) + (1.25 cubed) + (1.25^4) + (1.25^5) = 14 Or a more longwinded calculation that comes to the same conclusion:- 1 x 2.5 = 2.5 more infected (day 5) 2.5 x 2.5 = 6.25 " (day 10) 6.25 x 2.5 = 15.63 " (day 15)...

Science will prevail.

Sooner or later, there will be a solution to this.

Mankind (or personkind to be PC) have survived worse with a lot less knowledge and resources than we have now around the globe.

Circa 400,000 people a year die of Malaria. Do we play tunes on the radio for them?

No we don't.

Has Malaria spread all over the globe in the past 3 months and been classified as a pandemic?
