I got the call

[antiquesam]

I'm tending to think the same as Jim.
Will sit tight and wait for GP

In this instance I don't fancy schlepping into the 'Toon' and having to faff about finding a parking space for the Centre for Life.

We're lucky in so far as the surgery and centre are both within walking distance. The centre is the old mental hospital shortly to become a housing estate.

Village surgery rang last evening - mine at 10.28, gaffer at 10.30...... 10.28! Down yere you're lucky to get the right week!

That's what it says in the letter.

You get a choice; wait for GP to contact and get jabbed locally.
Alternatively, go online or ring a freephone number to book your appointment at a vaccination centre.
In our case, here 'oop norf' that would be the Centre for Life in Newcastle.

GP will probably be in touch before the end of this week, hopefully.

They were aiming to get groups 1 to 4 vaccinated by mid-February, so if they're on track I don't expect to be waiting too long.

brilliant....wish our docs were doing them...although showground where they are doing them here is not far away in vehicle,,,,,,,,i would have preferred to attend gp surgery..... newcastle is quite a trek for you..traffic and everything....hope you get it soon...take care

Maybe that's Oct 28th.

Interesting read. I wonder if my first jab will have a similar effect, given that I should now have some antibodies.

[ /Q oh this is worry me sue....had first jab 2 half weeks ago...no side effects whatsoever,,,,,(),,,hope im not speaking too soon)( i also hope jab is doing its job.........i dont want to end up with no antibodies cos ive not had a reaction to it............have to wait and see what happens on 2nd jab.............

The preliminary analysis based on 1873 reported deaths among 10,406 randomised patients shows no significant difference in the primary endpoint of 28-day mortality (18% convalescent plasma vs. 18% usual care alone; risk ratio 1.04 [95% confidence interval 0.95-1.14]; p=0.34). Follow-up of patients is ongoing and final results will be published as soon as possible.

What???? lol.

My appointment arrived today - would you believe 1801 (yes 1 minute past 6 precisely) Saturday week in our local sports village. Don’t they realise that a) Scotland will be nearing the end of the second half in their 6 nations fixture against Wales and b) the sun is over the yardarm so I have to start drinking at 6 precisely?

Our GP Surgery is not doing them. I have booked us both in for this Sunday at the Bede Centre in Gateshead at 3.01 and 3.02 pm. It is handier than going over the river to Newcastle.

Anybody want to hear a horror story?

My Grandson Will is starting to make a name for himself as a DJ in the Newcastle Clubs (he even gets offers from places like Ibiza etc.). He has been contacted a number of times to DJ illegal gatherings and refuses to do them. He is now being pilloried and threatened on Facebook for refusing. How stupid is that?

That really sucks. Report them?

He's not bothered by those sort of idiots, it is just a well paid sideline for him anyway as he will be off abroad shortly to Saudi and Oman (he is an Engineer for Siemens, refurbing Power generation turbines).

Cool. Any idea what sort of music? House/dance I suppose? Our boy showed an interest so we bought a set of decks a little while ago, but just for messing around with really. Does he have any stuff on YouTube?

 

[Fazerloz]

What???? lol.

That is the result of the trial I was part of. What is funny about nearly 2000 dying out of the 10406 that took part. I am so glad you found it amusing.
