Thanks Gil; I was a bit wound up last week trying to fill the 4 page forms to travel and being obliged to pay for a pointless test, when all I really wanted to do is book and go. The system is over...

So I have to travel to the UK this weekend because my Mum is in hospital. I didn't realise how complicated it is to go from France to England! Oh my! it's madness!

So to travel I've got my Vaccine...

The 1918 Flu was spread around the world by troops during and returning from WW1. The transport and hygene standards of the time made it easy.
After WW1 the returning troops would probably have...

I was surprised by the 3 baby change in China as well.
To be honest; the only way to ensure a decent future for our planet is to maintain the population a a reasonable level. Because if we don't...

At least you can see the Zombies!

If having the vaccine helps to stem the spread of the virus; it should also slow the development of different strains of the virus. With less people sick there should be less opportunity for it to...

First Pfizer jab was great! Really was a surprise; hardly felt it at all.(probably due to the small quantity injected) and no side effects (fever etc) over the weekend for me; just very slight...

I expect the Covid vaccine may end up as a yearly jab; like the flu vaccine. Seeing as the virus mutates fairly quickly; I don't think it's done yet. Especially in the poorer countries!

The Astra Zeneca seems to have more issues than the other's; or at least more publicity!
my Mum's stroke was a few weeks after her Astra jab. But I don't think it is being counted as due to the...

Thanks for the info guy's. At least I know what to expect.
Regarding having the vaccine; I agree that it may not be necessary from a health point of view; but if I want to travel to the UK to see my...

so who has had the vaccine yet? what vaccine did you get and what were the side effects?
I ask because I've got my first jab of the Pfizer vaccine tomorrow; and I'd like to know what to expect!

I...

The EU have exported over 20 million vaccines doses to the UK. But apparently the UK has refused to export vaccine to the EU.
This is supposed to be the argument regarding Vaccine according to the...

National Service in France only ended in the early 90's. It's a shame, because it was a good way to get kids out of home and teach them how to be useful adults.
We are now starting to see the same...

And you can't fix stupid either John.
There have been some "Carnival type Protests" in France. Basically thousands of young idiots partying in the streets, dancing, vandalising stuff, setting fire...

Thanks Gil.
we are just looking forward to when we can drive over to the UK and have a proper visit. At least my brother is local and in constant touch with her.

My Mum is 88, she was unlucky and had a bad reaction to the first jab, serious vomiting for a couple of days. It really knocked her for six.
Then a couple weeks after was hospitalised with a...

I do think the UK has done a great job with the vaccination process. They got the vaccines accepted and out there before the EU got off the pot. And the EU are still lagging behind.
My brother in...

The European Medical council have confirmed that the Astra Zeneca vaccine is safe and France is continuing to use it. According to the press. Apparently only 20 blood clot cases recorded for...

It's a year since we went into proper lockdown in France. That first lockdown was good; only essential supplies open. But since re-opening in May last year; the French Gouvernment have lost the plot....
