If you are then I am too @Giles , those two things (and TickTock) are beyond the realm of my reasoning.

I reckon you’d go over well on TikTok mate. Something cult and weird, record random thoughts that enter your head whilst walking the dog or sitting on the lav, stick a pop song in the background and you’ll be viral in no time.

Why people will not have a jab is frankly so beyond my realm of understanding
Rabid antivax or conspiracy theorists are one thing, but it is the refuseniks on the down low that get me. People who won’t preach antivax but are just keeping their heads down and avoid talking about why they haven’t taken it.
I could go on a rant here because I have two in my close personal circle and they are making my teeth itch, but I will refrain.

As evidenced by our respective posts quoted here, I don’t even know how to spell it…..you on the other hand

Anti vaccine people will select themselves out of the gene pool eventually. The issue is it doesn’t happen quickly enough and they take down a lot of more sensible people on the way.
There is a very real scourge of proud, resolute, and steadfast idiocy in the world that does not bode well for the future of the species.
Grateful to have been fully Moderna-ed for some time now. Only side effects so far are a sudden irrational devotion to Bill Gates and severe headaches and blackouts whenever I’m near a 5G tower. (

)Don't worry… side effects are quite common with every vac. Irrational interest in Cricket and ravenous appetite for Fish 'n' Chips since I got my AstraZeneca

I actually don’t have it, but I spend about 80% of my life around inbetweeners who breath it in like oxygen, so I have reluctantly gained some insight. My oldest son tells me the algo works like digital crack. Even for boomers like us.

now you have to (try to) explain the rules to me next time we meet
I once had a student write an academic article about his attempt to learn the rules of cricket. It was about 17 years ago and sadly I don’t have it anymore but it was both very good and husterically funny.

These?
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game -

Most common response when I try to explain test cricket to my friends: "So it could take up to five days and end in a draw? That's just stupid!"

That's one funny thing about British Sports, there is usually lots of Alkohol involved ;). Pimm's that's Ascot or is it Wimbledon? Nasty stuff, especially when it's hot. Tastes like lemonade… and suddenly you don't know how to keep the feet on the ground. As a student I visited a friend during Eights Week, can't remember ever been more drunken

@Chap :D. I once went to a minor league baseball game (double header), where the weather was gorgeous (warm and sunny) and we had fantastic seats that were front row on the first base line. The beer was especially good that day and I had my fair share. The batter hit a line drive towards us and in my drunken stupor, I reached out over the railing to try and catch the ball, promptly falling over the railing and landing on the field.
My friends helped me back into the stands and we decided it was better to go home before we were asked to.
