Maybe you should relive your encounters with Ezz on here.
I remember one early morning freebee flight with him he decided to fly the balloon down to Hadadin so we could see the farm and his horses from the air. Caused no end of confusion with the punters in the balloon!

I have to add besides being a Serbian he's slightly ever so eccentric read f***** nuts..
Like most Serbians.

Novax's talks to himself while he plays, and once yelled out loud in Serbian, "Now you all will suck my d*ck."
He also hugs trees.

Have you ever noticed he always bounces that bloody ball 12 times before serving.
His 'missis is a right conspiracy theorist fan, another loony in the family of loonies.

Plus he has some pretty loonie theories about The Bosnian Pyramids,
probably why they invaded in the first place.... 8)

I might well do that Bazza.
Ezz was a man with big dreams, which he fulfilled to the max on all accounts.
He was building a fort over in his 'balloon-financed land in Haddadean.
His collection of horses, camels, mosque ect stems from his bedu heritage.
He just totally cracked me up with his continuous jokes when they filmed Blue Peter, and I got a badge.... 8)

Ps: He was also the negotiator on the ballon skyjacking during the revolution, 'not a lot of people know that!

So now to distort the figures they stop PCR free tests and other tricky maneuvers, so no testing no results.

Get a grip Who2.

It’s all a question of terminology. Once everyone is infected it’s no longer a pandemic….it’s endemic.

Q.E.D.

Fortunately, this pathogen seems to be relatively harmless once one is vaccinated, or has acquired some immunity through being infected ( and survived!)

For most people it’s now ( at worst) like a bad cold.

If your return to Egypt is predicated on the virus disappearing……I’d put that mud hut of yours up for sale :lol:

So it's now 2022.

Which one of Who2's favourite film's was set in that year. ? 🤔

As Newcastle said, it's all but over now.
Many countries are lifting restrictions, and I guess they are now trying to focus on recovering from the financial nightmare that still haunts the waking hours.
Tourism recovery will give many countries a good boost.
I can't wait to get back to travelling, that's assuming the cost of living here in blighty doesn't wipe out my finances before September. 🤔

You really mustn’t misquote me. It gives Who2 a fit of the vapours :lol:

What I actually said was that it’s now reached the “endemic” stage…i.e. most people have had it.

Those that haven’t will probably get it within a few months.

But it no longer poses a significant threat to general health….or our health services.

Solylent Green was the answer.

We could have feasted like kings during this pandemic if that dystopic future had played out in real life. :eat

Just a quick update on BA 2, apparently China is reporting a vast increase in this strain, the chief reason for this is that the vaccine developed there was Sinovac, and was used throughout. It is being proved that this not really effective on this present new strain.

Sinovac over the past two year has been given to people in Egypt on a massive scale, in fact over the past year it has been produced there under licence. Although the death rate is low, the symtoms of BA 2 are showing a greater hospitalisation of patience in China, than those that were given Western developed vaccines.

Complete rubbish!

In the absence of routine testing, nobody knows what the daily figures are.

Probably at least 200,000….. :zz

2 years into this decade, floods, fires, pandemics, Russia setting us back 80 years in Europe, interest rates climbing, energy costs at an all time high, along with taxes etc. ( Did you really think we were not going to have to pay for most of the workforce being paid to sit on its arse for 18 months ? )

Could be worse, we could all be dead, many are but none get out if this game alive. But some of us are trying 😎


We are all in the gutter, but sone of us are looking up at the stars. Oscar Wilde, I believe.
