@jim merc has cat claws that tik-tak on the parquet, with sharp ears despite tinnitus you can hear her coming with or without rings on her fingers and bells on her toes she makes lots of noise wherever she goes.
@jac War and Peace - read it when I was 12-13, weird wasn't I! And 'A la recherche de temps perdu' at about 21. Both of these I remember little of, but Oblomov sticks in the memory.
@lcbr (you might add - but it adds no weight) as a punter you know what odds are - they are not certainty and they are not proof. I still see scientists claiming probability is heavily in favour of zoonosis - but I am sure you will agree you are biased in favour of the human intervention explanation. Neither assertion has 'proof'
You have children, yes or no? You are apart - yes Why? Being together agian is possible but before not? Why? Just ask yourself ... something has changed?
The other day I had the second jab. Discussed the first and the side effects - they just said 'that was like you would have experienced but much less and thank 'god' for that' well yes indeed. Much more confident but i am not going out anyway.
Absurd. You have some statistics perhaps? Unbiased? Idiotic. Who dies - right or left? I don't understand how people can arrive at such warped views. Idiocy is global, it is not right or left. However the op clearly has this disease.
@jac what's happened? Has the river of words dried up? It seems never have I seen a jac-post that did not occupy the page. Whose cat has got your tongue I wonder! Succinct laconic do not sit easily I usually think of a word ending in 'e' and starting with 'v'! (just joking as I am sure you know). I value your considered comments.
@merc Vice-Marshall Ky back in about 1965 was questioned by a journalist about the coming Vietnam elections Jrnlist: When did you last have an election? VM Ky: Election? Just before bleakfast Old joke
@OP verboten was intended - you implied rhyming in haiku was forbidden - why on earth did you imagine I intended 'verbatim'? verboten nicht wahr? reimt ist verboten, nicht wahr? Falsch!
