When I was young I noticed a round mark on my Mum's arm. Around two centimeters in diameter. I asked her what it was and she said it was the mark left by the vaccine she had as a baby. All my aunts...

Nobody is being 'tested' here in Canada before getting the vaccines. You register for the first vaccine, get it and then at 8 weeks you're notified of a date for the second vaccine to be...
At the end of summer 2020 we were informed of the new transmission of Covid 19. The situation was at that time, even though it was expected that a vaccine would be found, there would be what was...

For a while, the Venus was the top recommended hotel on Trip Advisor! It's still a dump, though.
I see the UK government has just placed Egypt in the red zone category concerning travel, more bad news, so I can only assume that Egypt didn't have the virus was false news then.

Have a great time Newcastle. Keep us posted and above all keep safe. Lets hope by the time you're ready to come back Egypt will be back on the amber list at least!
Thank you.
At the very start of this Covid thing early last year, I suggested on here that we should all wear a face mask, and gloves of the soft garden variety that can be washed out each day. Although few...

Leaving the UK hasn't even started yet and Luton Airport seems the place not to fly from.
Am I right in thinking that whilst most British citizens are not permitted to travel, it seems people from...

Of course there’s no obstacle to foreigners coming to U.K. ....although those from India and elsewhere face an enforced quarantine at government hotels, at their own expense.
Donations are to be requested from the public to help pay for a new memorial in St. Paul's Cathedral, London to honour those who have died from Corona Virus.
Would you be prepared to contribute?

When I give to any charity, I pay for some kind of work to be carried on for improvement in life for either humans or animals, not something to look at.
Not sure I'm that desperate to get to Egypt, but I guess there are those who are.

I’m not sure it’s a British legal requirement to have a fit- to- fly certificate in order to travel to Egypt. He was going to Cairo where the Egyptians require a negative PCR test. If he was going to...
New royal yacht named after Prince Philip to be 'commissioned within weeks', costing as much as £200m
When I saw this on Sky News I thought it was a joke...and in poor taste too.
But apparently...

The thought of Meghan....or Her Royal Highness, Duchess of Sussex as she prefers to be called...coming back is a very good reason for NOT having a royal yacht.
By far the longest living consort of a British monarch.....and he was the oldest living direct descendant of Queen Victoria, a position which Queen Elizabeth II now assumes.

Another train accident north of Cairo yesterday leading to at least 11 dead, many injuries. Apparently the train derailed but no cause stated as yet. I think Egypt must have one of the worst track...
I have just read the prices for entry to the new museum in Cairo, 60le for locals and 200le for others and tourist. To think they are trying to attract tourism, they have no idea. But in keeping I...

Yes it is all about fees, which by some rather interesting twist boiled down to the appearance (“speak Arabic, look like an Egyptian”). You meant, the complexion? That is, in my experience, the very...
Apparently the Suez canal has been blocked by a large ship that has slewed ( can ships slew) across the canal and blocked it.

When I lived on the narrowboats there was a great bar in Little Venice, where we would sometimes drink.
The Colonnade has a plaque to him outside saying he was born there, probably not in the bar.. 8)
