Just got in, popped BBC News on, and Simon McCoy kept cracking-up whilst reading this report out, and again as he went to the weather guy, who also started cracking-up.

They did the passengers a service. Edinburgh is far superior to Düsseldorf.

The staff at EDI are the rudest I've ever met at an airport. And I'm including American airports.

When the world came apart, where were you?
Having flown to Dusseldorf more times that I care to remember - and given that it's basically a commuter flight - I'm baffled that no passenger noticed they were flying north instead of west. Not flying over the English Channel would have been a bit of a giveaway that something was wrong!
Then again maybe, like me, they'd have been grateful to get out of whatever meeting they were supposed to be attending and chose to keep shtum...

He is obviously a tosser but the case for the chickenpox vaccine is fairly marginal, many countries (including the NHS) don't recommend it for everyone, and very few people in his generation will have had it.

I think most people in his generation will probably have had actual chickenpox - seems like it tends to be more serious in adults, so it's a good idea to make sure people who didn't have it childhood don't catch it from unvaccinated kids.
But Fedriga wouldn't have caught it from his own kids... because he had them vaccinated, the big hypocrite.

That's what I would have thought, but the NHS advice at least is that only adults who have never had chickenpox and are healthcare workers or in contact with people who have weakened immune systems should have the vaccine.
Who should have the chickenpox vaccine?
Fedriga as far as I know claims he is in favour of vaccination but not mandatory vaccination, so I don't think he is really being hypocritical in that sense.

It seems silly on the NHS's part. While complications from childhood chicken pox are rare, they do exist and the vaccine is a cheap one. It also helps to prevent infected children from passing it to adults with weakened immune systems, or the odd strange one that didn't get it as a kid.
To word it differently, chicken pox parties were a perfectly reasonable thing to do when I was a kid. But with a cheap vaccine, there's really no excuse for such things to continue.

he must be a generation younger than i am.
tbh, getting the pox is no laughing matter. i was amazed to get it in my 30s (i'm one of Chz's examples). i had to be quarantined (at home, on my own recognizance), was warned about aspirin (pox + aspirin = Reye's syndrome), and penny-sized chunks of my scalp, with the hair, were falling out. thank Asclepius it didn't appear on the soles of my feet or on my sitter.

Their reasoning is here. Essentially their argument is that vaccinating children may increase infections among adults, because those children that are not vaccinated will be less likely to pick it up as a child and therefore more vulnerable to infection as an adult where chickenpox is more serious. Also there is apparently evidence that continued exposure to the virus keeps shingles down for adults. Other countries do vaccinate so whether there is a net benefit really depends on the detailed statistics.

If it were always harmless in children, I could see it. As it actually is, they may as well not bother with measles. I mean, severe complications from that are fairly rare - less rare than chicken pox, but still statistically rare. They've nothing to back up their argument that it might be a bad thing, beyond that someone thought it might be a bad thing.
Fucking cunt judge. Jailing homeless people for selling marshmallow leaf. Legalise the shit now.

‘Dog Suicide Bridge’: Why Do So Many Pets Keep Leaping Into a Scottish Gorge?
DUMBARTON, Scotland — “I was sure she was dead,” Lottie Mackinnon said quietly.
Ms. Mackinnon was sitting huddled in the corner of a cafe with her two children, sipping hot chocolate as she described the day three years ago when she was walking with her Border collie, Bonnie, over the Overtoun Bridge in Dumbarton, Scotland.
“Something overcame Bonnie as soon as we approached the bridge,” Ms. Mackinnon said. “At first she froze, but then she became possessed by a strange energy and ran and jumped right off the parapet.”
A bewitched dog lured to leap off a bridge by a malevolent force? It sounds like a preposterous scene straight from an old “Twilight Zone” episode.
But Ms. Mackinnon’s dog is one of hundreds that Scots insist have suddenly been compelled to throw themselves off the gothic stone structure since the 1950s. Many have ended up dead on the jagged rocks in the deep valley bed below.

Mystery as Union Jack spotted on top of huge tree in Worthing park: how did it get there?
Mystery?
You asked?
No shit, Sherlock.
Maybe it was placed on the tree when it was a sapling. And they've only just noticed it.
