    That’s why I stopped engaging over the subject and just tell people that I don’t take medication full stop avoids any conflict, was interesting just now was in the smoking shelter when word came the vax team were in the building, was the sickly hypercondriacts that we’re out the door like greyhounds, sat out in the sun a couple of weeks back in the marina chatting about statins and again it was all the sickly weak wankers that are taking them by the bucket load I was the only one over 60 that wasn’t on them and I,m fitter than the rest by a country mile, definately something to be learned from all this eat well keep active and row your own canoe 

    Same here mate - some folk got quite nasty if they knew that you wouldn't have the jab. It happened everywhere unfortunately.  That's why I also started to just avoid all conversation about it.

     

    Me and my daughter didn't have it. The missus had 1 but, even that wasn't good enough for some - she had a stand up row with another woman at work about it.

     

    You're spot on about eating well and staying active 👍🏻

    ......... we've got a couple of lads at work that are half my age and in shit state - they can't run the length of a train and speak on a radio afterwards.

    Oh I don't know. I kind of miss lockdown. 

    I did like the first weird day - when I woke up in the morning the sun was shining and it was warm outside and, it was very quiet. The shop was open but, there was no cars and hardly any people about - it was like one of those films where most of the world has gone.

     

    If they could scare most of the population back into their houses again so that I can crack on in peace and quiet I'll be happy :yes:

  3. So, the old yard stick has been brought out again - 38 out of 33 people in a nursing home have caught a cold, whoops I mean new Covid so, 'They' are watching it.

     

    Gearing up to see if their mates can make another fortune by flogging vaccines and PPE - No doctors appointments for real things but, no doubt the GPs will be getting an extra bung for the amount of jabs they can dish out again.

     

    I've already seen some departments short staffed at work because people are self isolating with the sniffles again.

     .......... Nothing learned from before, as you were folks.

     

    Give it a few weeks and it'll be time to dust off the face masks to save your granny again :rolleyes:

    D you know I'm into foraging fungi well there is a fungi called the "Birch Polypore". This Fungi is known for it's anti Cancer and immune boosting quality's. I know it sound wacky and a bit hessian bag but it cant hurt can it. 

    WHISPERINGEARTH.CO.UK

    Once in a while a medicinal ally comes along that completely captivates my heart and mind. Over the last year or so the birch polypore fungus has been the ally...

    You will find it on dead or dying Birch trees mostly Silver Birch growing in the wood on the side of the moors.

    Only trying to help mate. If it was me I would defiantly be giving it a go and I do sometime use it anyway.

    Cheers Arry

    You piqued my interest with that one mate so, I looked into it :thumbs:

     

    My dad has got cancer in a couple of places that he'll never get rid of - the hospital have got him on some tablets that slow it all down but, it will do him in eventually.

     .......... I've got him some Birch Polypore to try. He'll probably call me a hippy wanker but, it can't do him any harm to try it.

     

    I also discovered Chaga Mushroom. Apparently he can't have this because he's on blood pressure meds as well.

     ......... I've been using it to make a cold tea with honey to take to work for a few days - it's actually quite nice and, probably beneficial to me in one way or another :thumbs:

    I might upset some people but I think Fury over analyses himself. I think lots of men have all the psychological symptoms he describes. Up and down, dark thoughts, nightmares, fantasise briefly about  smashing your car into an oncoming vehicle. I think it's part of being male. Part of life taking its toll. Personally I don't think there's any point in navel gazing. You just get on with it.

    I think you're spot on mate - a lot goes through our heads but, we keep it down and crack on and keep providing :thumbs:

  7. I went old-tech while learning another yard today :thumbs:

     

    The staff (key thing) for the ground frame could have been touched by my grandad - unfortunately he died before I joined the railway. 

     .......... it's in the right area though :hmm:

     

    It's just a shame that I'll never know.

  8. I'm sure I'd be out of a job pretty quickly if I tried that caper 😄

     

    Boss: so Jon, why did you f**k up the rail network by leaving a train out on the mainline for 3 hours?

     

    Me: I'm time-blind boss.

     

    Boss: f**k off you dickhead.

     

    😄
