    Great stuff. I’m off to bed to do a little reading before tiredness overcomes me

    I can recommend the book which is a biography of Jordan… not that one! It’s the punk icon who worked in McLaren’s shop, 430 King’s Road

    I read a book once – it was green.

    From which Classic situation comedy am I paraphrasing?

    Anyone on here had the jab yet?

    I’m not far behind them, mind.

    The 70-75 cohort are now being jabbed here in York so you shouldn’t have long to wait. Will you answer the call Tank?

    Being a mere youth of 64 I expect it’ll be April sometime for me

    I’m in no hurry and would prefer it if all those over 70 had their second shot, along with the infirm, public-facing workers etc before we vibrant, healthy youngsters have the first one

    <Bunny Warren in Porridge?>

    I think it was Hislop not Warren.

    Warren said he could not read. That is why he nicked the geography paper rather than the history one, in the episode when Godber was trying to get another O level.

    :yes: Great stuff

    Yeah, could well have been ‘Einstein’ Hislop. Good actor the late Brian Glover; his first major role as the competitive PE teacher in that wonderful film Kes was a masterpiece

    He was the voice of “Tetley make tea bags make tea” as well.

    Drone, I’m expecting a call end of March for my age group – mid to late 60s – but as I’ve said, I think it’s prudent to wait to see how it performs. I’ve also read the following today ‘The Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine offers as little as 10% protection against the Covid variant first seen in South Africa, researchers have suggested.

    Scientists who conducted a small-scale trial of the vaccine’s efficacy said it showed very little protection against mild to moderate infection, though they expressed hope that – in theory – it would still offer significant protection against more serious infection.

    I think scientists are working on updating the vaccines and also think I’ve made the right call in waiting – so I won’t be taking up the offer of a jab for some time yet. Maybe next year, if I’m spared that long.

    It also depends on when/if the vaccine passport kicks in. May not even be able to go for a drink without that :-(

    Impressive work, chaps – Hislop in the very first episode as I recall.

    But Bunny Warren, bless him, wasn’t a bad shout.

    If I remember it was Heslop to be slightly pedantic whose wife had a sister in Sidcup
