Track and Trace

No. Not too busy to land a £180k contract this week either. You want to be my diary manager?

Any jobs going at your place?

We are a funny lot when it comes to speaking other languages. I speak Italian passably well but I'm hopeless at other languages. Every time I'm somewhere where no-one speaks English and they start talking to me in their language, I panic and start talking Italian. Cos it's foreign innit?

We're in an awkward position. Every other nation in Europe teaches English as a second language, if they can't converse in their own language chances are they can get by with English.

Where as us English speakers can usually manage because so many speak English but we don't have much to fall back on, a bit of O level French perhaps. And of course we get it in the neck for not learning other languages but it isn't like there is an obvious choice, that so much media and business use.

Personally I think they should be teaching Spanish rather than French as a second language in schools. There would likely be more chance of using it on holidays and Spanish is widely used across the Americas.

The issue I see is why the scanning didn't work? It should be easy to do that.  Everything else seamt good to me.  Need a test? Get one fairly easily.  Test positive? Asked within 48 hrs for all I'd been in contact with, where I'd been etc.  Same for the kids. Also notified not to go out as a contact of kids, so it all worked well to me.

But I still find the bit about the premises scanning not working odd.  Though I believe the app alerts did so if you had your app on, no problem?

[Bentley Bullet]

Everybody should speak English. Failure to do so is just laziness.

No thanks, I don’t you could afford me.

Diary manager, apparently.

[Bentley Bullet]

Is it just a twelve-month contract?

£550 Hound. It's almost equivalent to the entire Defence budget.

Is a wolf a hound BST.

Off topic

I spotted the real drfchound hound yesterday. Magnificent specimen

Shame we can't use track and trace to follow the money.

That Dildo seems such a competent woman as well, next in line for promotion to oversee the NHS.

To be fair they cant force you to register the results.  We have them and honestly don't register the results, I doubt anyone does but doesn't mean they aren't used.

Do you think that perhaps some people might use them and not register the results so that it added to their agenda?
Just saying like.

  You need an office at the Keepmoat Billy, Brexit not affected you then?

Hound, do you mean there are lefties in this country who won't comply to the rules for political reasons?

Wash your mouth out!

It wouldn’t be unexpected BB would it.
As for who would have done it, well some people might think that there isn’t life beyond the vsc forum.

At least Turpin jumped rather than waiting to be pushed  from the 3 legged mare unlike Hancockup

10? I've way more than that which have been largely used aswell.

We're all encouraged to do various tests etc dependent on symptoms. For me and my kids that's a test every other day....

A serious point on that though. The lack of exposure of our children to other viruses is a worry and will catch up (they're catching everything at the minute and it's summer).

Are you posting the results pud?

Most of the time no, it gets forgotten amongst the miriad of other things to do.

A little longer often, but even so by the time 20 minutes pass it's easy to forget.  Regardless of whether my admin is perfect or not it's a perfectly reasonable reason why so many aren't logged as used.

[BillyStubbsTears]

We have different takes BFYP. I think we have a moral obligation to do this so that those advising policy have the best possible data. It takes less time than it takes to have a piss and you only need to do it maybe twice a week. Not trying to be sanctimonious here but I've taken 19 LF tests and logged every one on the NHS and Zoe sites. It's a microscopic inconvenience for a potentially very big societal benefit.

[belton rover]

Only if you can piss longer and farther than anyone else.
