And a particularly 'short' narrowboat.

Indeed! Shorter than the width of some 'wide narrowboats'.

But N.B. is the abbreviation for Note Bene

nota bene

 

N.B. An abbreviation for the Latin phrase nota bene, meaning “note well.” It is used to emphasize an important point.

Edit to add :

I note that the blog for the steam vessel Emily-Anne is prefixed with SNB (steam narrow boat ?).

either is correct

Anti vaxers, anti maskers and the like should be denied free NHS care if they need NHS care for Covid. Not denied care just charged for it at the going rate. If they require a stint in critical care and survive that should cost them a tidy sum, if they snuff it the cost should pass to the next of kin.

 

(Of course this will never be implemented).

Of course it will never be implemented its a nonsense perspective as they would have payed into the system too just as people who smoke,drink, drive fast cars at rediculas speed the list goes on and on inculding pro vax clowns who think people should inject poison into their bodies in order to make them feel safe because they cant be assed to maintain a healthy immune system without the use of chemicals peddled by big pharma.

Just an aside, but barristers and solicitors working in criminal law are rarely rich, and are frequently working for below minimum wage.

Maybe as is the way with any other 'insurance' a high risk (Obese, smoker, drug taker etc etc) should pay higher 'premiums' and have a greater 'excess' to pay before the NHS kicks in 'for free'.

Some people have no taste.

 

I don't play one myself, but I grew up with a trombonist (a pretty bloody good one in the end).

 

 

My late father-in-law was another.

Considering the number of barristers and solicitors in parliament and the lords it is pretty poor lawmaking.

 

They are mostly the ones who couldn't make it as professional lawyers. 

 

There are exceptions (Clue: Stellar legal career first, then a political career) but not in government at present.

Pardon..? You're calling people who understand and agree with vaccination (most of the population) clowns, because they "inject poison"...because they can't be arsed to maintain a healthy immune system...to fight such things as polio I guess?

 

Have I completely miss-understood what you said?

I dunno if you said this in jest or not, how would you then account for hereditary risks? What about the working class who do manual labour? You're effectively wanting to de-solcialise the NHS. Unless you said it in jest.

Certainly, it was in response to the 'Anti-Vaxer' rubbish posted - it is a sad truth that 50% of  the population has below average intelligence.

 

It is just a good job that the majority of the population appear to have some social responsibility and want to protect others by having 'poisonous chemicals', injected.

Let's have polio and smallpox back then, and see how you get on with them.

I think somebody refering to life saving and life prolonging vaccines as 'poison' is clearly setting out their position as an 'anti vaxer'.

 

Sad but comical.

In my experience of 40 years in the classroom (the majority of them working with the lower 50%) most of them are unlikely to refuse things like vaccines.   It is probably the averages and very slightly above average who think they "know".

Well, I suppose 'nutters' are not always defined by their IQ.

One of my close friends and colleague messaged the other day to ask "what do I think about all this Covid stuff". Turns out she's a conspiracy theorist about it all. Quite the shock as she's well educated, successful professionally (aerospace firm) and doesn't hang out in weird circles (well I am weird but I'm not a circle).

I've quite enjoyed constructive discussion and reasoning things out. But yeah, not related to IQ at all. This lass has been influenced by other friends forwarding utter shite on whatsapp; like a video by that complete cunt Mike Yeadon, he's made a 30 minute video that's extremely time consuming to fact check and disprove.

 

Anyway. Yeah 14 day rule, mid winter, mid pandemic, seems a bit daft to me. But then I'm a CCer so it benefits me, normally I'm moving in the dark and cold this time of year.

I don't think so.

You're welcome to think how you like, but it's a well-known and very provable fact of our society that those working in the area of law that most directly impacts on the life of the average person are by far the least well remunerated.

 

A cursory Google will lead you to a wonderful world of readin, but in case you can't be bothered.

Well my relation works in London, on legal aid, and that's what he wanted to do btw.

Bought a house for the young (usually) unemployed wife and two kiddies, two cars now since the first one was too big for the wife to drive (a Skoda, average size imho), plus driving lessons since she's "forgotten" how to drive, which was true, she reversed the car for ten yards, and abandoned it mid pavement! ?

The latest version from CRT with specific tier 3 reference (apologies if this has already been posted but if it has I haven't seen it).

From Wednesday 2 December

As of 2 December 2020 our navigations will be open for you to cruise – and stay on board overnight – subject to ongoing government guidance. The Government advises that people should specifically try to avoid leaving or entering very high alert level areas (tier 3), other than for things like work or education so we would strongly advise against travelling to or from your boat, or boating for any distance, in these areas.

Please check the Local COVID alert levels in England to see if your area, or the area you want to visit, is affected.

In Wales leisure boaters should follow Welsh government guidelines to stay local and limit the times they leave their homes.

Probably ok in London, and may not be working criminal cases. It is true that a lot of solicitors specialising in criminal law are packing it in, such that the police are finding it hard to find them for people. Legal Aid has been cut to the bone, and hardly anyone is now eligible for it.

Anyway, always best to avoid them, and getting caught.

No one could afford to live in London on a min wage and he is not in a particularly good job, not like his boss who only appears in court once a year because it is a statutory obligation or something, he has to be briefed by his underlings, he also has a house, but somewhat larger, not sure how many cars.

I am pro vaccine, I have had all my vaccines as have all my children,  but there is no way I will be taking a vaccine that has been rushed through in seven months, the side effects cannot be known as they can take years to manifest, the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are MRNA vaccines and as of now , no vaccine of this type has ever been licensed for use on humans, so if that makes me an anti vaxxer in your eyes then so be it, oh and masks have been proven to do nothing apart from give the wearer a false sense of safety.
