Eric and Jackie - different sides of the same Quid.

Eric Clapton feared he would 'never play again' after 'disastrous' time with vaccine

“About six weeks later I was offered and took the second AZ (AstraZeneca) shot, but with a little more knowledge of the dangers,” he continued. “Needless to say the reactions were disastrous, my hands and feet were either frozen, numb or burning, and pretty much useless for two weeks, I feared I would never play again, (I suffer with peripheral neuropathy and should never have gone near the needle.) But the propaganda said the vaccine was safe for everyone....” said Eric Clapton

Like it or not Roy—- no government is ever going to say “ has massive side effects, can induce pain, vomiting and palpitations “. No bugger would ever want a jab —- and especially two !!!!!!!!!

The Pfizer blend is a full up bulldog. 2nd shot had me feeling fatigued for 6 weeks. I know what "brain fog" is now too. Drove my blood pressure all over the map. My 2nd dose was 2 weeks after the 1st. Now they are saying the Pfizer 2nd dose should be 9 weeks later, not 2. Figures.

Still talking June 21st to the end of lockdown —- dont hold your breath . Complete cock - up at Heathrow airport, returning holiday makers are locked in quarantine for two weeks at costs of up to £10,000 per person. Stunning end to two weeks in Spain ——— i know some folk are getting nil desperandum for the sun —— but its all getting a bit out of hand !!!!!!!!
Me, myself will not be jumping on the first plane out of here —— think i will let the rush die down a bit first—- make sure i can get back in again , before i leave. Without it costing my life’s savings !!!!!!!

Several folk dont seem to understand , is the fact that ————-furthest point from the sea anywhere in England is approximately 70 miles . So seafood is available everywhere . Used to be the fish and chip shop DIDNT open Mondays , as the fishermen didn’t go out catching fish on a Sunday . Whether that still happens on a Sunday or not—-i have no way of knowing . Even Woolworths were closed all day Sunday. But that was then, when we were CIVILISED —— long before the advent of knife crime and BLM—— AND TEENAGERS slaughtering each other for reasons nobody knows —— or have long forgotten.
can’t get settled in to the workshop for some strange reason. I have what i have always longed for—- the perfect workshop. Not another damn thing i need . Even have all the spare blades for the perfect bandsaw —- five worktops —- instead of the bandsaw table. I am short of nothing. So why aren’t i spending every minute of the day creating something or other ??????
