Looks like an extra qualification to "No Animals were harmed etc." on the end title of films will be required. "No Humans were infected with Covid while making this film"

Regards Ian.

well i checked up online about getting my covid passport, it seems to do this you need the nhs app on your phone, which then displays a qr code, now as a complete (almost) luddite i access the internet through a pc (the web access doesnt allow for the covid passport), and my phone only does texts and phone calls, so it would seem I can only get a letter to say I have had the vaccinations, or perhaps I could just show the card which shows I have had the vaccinations, no restaurants, night clubs or pub for me then, I have had similar issues with track and trace, where I am seen as a nuisance because they have to go and find a sign in sheet and pen before I can get in places, because my phone doesnt do the track and trace app.
why does everyone assume you have to have a smart phone nowadays, they are useless to me as the screens are too small to read, and the buttons too small to push

IF you think that, just decide not to read this particular thread. "SIMPLES"

Quite right , but 18 'chats' in one day drives down interesting topics off the 'recent topics' listing , other forums I'm on there's hardly a mention of said 'events' , 24 pages on this now . . .

great, that gives me a pass that is active for 48 hours, I can print out a copy, but when I go on holiday without access to my pc or printer is about as useful as a chocolate fireguard. ah well be thankful for small victories I suppose.

Anyone know what travel rules are for incoming back from France now? Am double vaccinated so OK to go for a quick business trip and clear my desk in Paris and get rid of my apartment in Guyancourt. But I'm going by caley sleeper then eurostar. Coming back do I now have to isolate in London before the caley sleeper or at home here in Inverness where my day 2 and 8 co vid tests are booked. Worth asking here as nobody else seems to know for sure!! I can see me cancelling going out on Tuesday now.

As a possible compromise, couldn't the posts stick to factual info, like known travel/passports etc. and try to keep down the "should have been/Boris/Idiots etc."

bits?
Just to add, I use an old Nokia so I just applied for a letter on https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/covid-pass/get-your-covid-pass-letter/ as Martin added earlier. 4 days later in my wallet, ready to use.

It rather looks like Johnson has lost his gamble - just as on every previous occasion. Lots of talk about a further lockdown now...

The next lockdown is being implemented by stealth - gradually pinging everyone via the NHS Covid app so they have to self-isolate. Eventually, the country grinds to a halt because we are all locked away.

I've long expected a full lockdown in September, which can't be reviewed until April for fear of the expected exit wave hitting the NHS in winter. Combined with the removal of furlough and top-up for those on income support, it's likely to lead to 8-12m unemployed with no hope of ever working again as there simply won't be any businesses or jobs to go to. What does that do to public finances? Well, if you have a pension, you can forget an increase, more likely a serious cut. The NHS will have to be chopped back dramatically. MPs might not be able to stock up their wine cellar quite as fast as they have this year.

The governments of the world don't want to publicly admit it, but the virus has won.

I've been convinced since March the way our government is managing this we will be back in lock-down of sorts again in Autumn.

The way it is running riot here, change Autumn to August.

It only took the Netherlands 3 weeks to change their minds.

I agree, Brian. It’s getting worse by the day, and some people are not helping by refusing to comply with regulations.

South Australia went into 1 week lockdown yesterday. Our eldest daughter and hubby traveling to Darwin, have been forced into isolation at William Creek. Population between 2 and 6! but the Royal Flying Doctor flew in vaccines yesterday.

At least the pub is open until curfew at 6 pm

Thing is I bet most will just uninstall the App, had to take mine off ages ago as took up too much memory. I know someone who went to the Final, had the App to get in and then uninstalled it when they left.

BrianB6......even though from the Eastern State, I support the RFDS in my own [very] small way....

You may be amazed at some of the Major Sponsors......

Coots Transport......K&S Freighters.......Scott Transport........Bulkhaul......[all South Australian head officed]
These Companies transport the majority of petroleum fuel [liquid & liquid for gas] around our big Land

Hats off to the RFDS

Derek

Peter Fitness · « **Reply #591 on:** July 21, 2021, 02:55:31 am »

The RFDS operates in most states and territories Derek, I've been to the bases at Broken Hill in NSW, Darwin in the NT, and Cloncurry and Charleville in Queensland. They are a wonderful organisation doing a fabulous job, and deserve any support they can get. It's good to know that the big transport companies you mentioned are sponsors.

...........and the 1959 TV series that came from it.

The PC12 they now use is very different to the aircraft in the original TV series but I can't remember what it was. Anybody remember? IT looked very old fashioned to me as a kid in 1959!

I can't remember, but it had three motors, and if I'm not kidding myself, Bill Kerr driving. Versatile fellow, after being Hancock's straight man (Tony 'ancock, not the recent one).

My very hazy memory can imagine corrugated sides like the Ford Trimotor or Junkers JU-52. Might just be my imagination.
