I managed to book my second jab directly using this. End of June and I'll be fully vaxxed.

Do you not get the second one booked in when you get the first one booked? Seems a bit mad seeing as there is a [limited] time window.
1st tomorrow for me (Pfizer) and then 2nd on June 21st.
Yeah, I was given the date for my second when I got my first.Originally Posted by niko_cee
I did it an open invite so just booked it on the morning so never had the chance to do the second booking part. I'm a bit further ahead than most in their mid thirties.
I booked my second at the same time as my first but my Sister (who got it via the GP) wasn't told when her second would be until a week before they booked it.
Kiko absolutely gagging to get back to the Porto weekend trips, trampling over the fatties and oldies without a care in the world.
Happy Jerusalem Day lads. The video of the Israeli geezer trying to run over some muzzies is great banter, he must have been about a minute away from being torn limb to limb.
What act are Fulham and Burnley players taking tonight to raise awareness about the Palestinian plight?
Open al-Quds.
Fucking hell
You know it's been too long when I'm appreciating the vibes to that
I don’t know what I’m watching but I’ve watched it about 5 times. Electric.
I haven't seen them bounce like that since 9/11.
If this doesn't bring Giggles out of the woodwork then we can safely say he is dead, to us at least.
I also wonder if he'd have loved or hated seeing Keeks get slapped down by a woman on Twitter.
He hates both.
I'm trying my best to get him out lads, honestly. Anyone like fancy pizza?
But on this... they were doing a open age invite nearby which I was lucky enough to spot. Nothing about my superior intellect and general smugness.

Our team at work just had a barney because one of our number is, shall we say, a bit of a mess re covid. We were going to resume our regular lunch in town for the first time in 15 months, but he didn't want to come.
A couple of the others were trying to persuade him that due to vaccination we're now pretty safe, and besides, life has to go on, etc. At that point he started going off on one about how everyone relaxed last summer which allowed the Essex variant (sic) to spread. I wasn't going to pull him up on the factual inaccuracy of this, so I said 'Sooner or later, you're going to have to sort yourself out'. That didn't go down great, so now he's in a sulk.everyone has their own risk thresholds, personally i'm ok going outside for walks etc but I wont be going indoors anywhere anytime soon, or mass outdoor events. and defo no hugs
This is a guy who sanitises every item on his desk before beginning work each morning.
Why bother engaging him on it at all? If he doesn't want to, fine, doesn't affect anybody else unless he's so completely the life and soul that it'll ruin it for everybody if he's not there.
But given his stance on this and his apparent sanitiser addiction I doubt that's the case.
Because one doesn't want to see a previously sane and pleasant human being disappear down the toilet of madness.
Cracking on without him and not dying of coronavirus will be a more persuasive argument than 'get over it' which I can't imagine has ever changed anybody's mind ever.
Also if this thread is anything to go by it's very possible for people to be ready to get back to normal and have disappeared down the toilet of madness so you've got a bit of a job on.
I need me some of that Essex variant from next week onwards
We're having a similar drama at the moment. My manager has asked if we can have a team meeting FACE TO FACE next month, but our resident Team Fear member shat the bed at the mere thought of it.
She's had her first jab too.
I think in our office it's just going to be people digging their heels in because even before the rona they were looking for any excuse to work from home anyway, I'm not aware of anybody actually shitting it about going in but then there's no concrete talk of doing so yet.
After the weekend my parents and sister, the only vulnerable people I'm liable to interact with, will have their full Microsoft jab anyway so my only real reasons to worry about it at all will be sorted.
I don't get how you could be that worried about it but not be informed enough to know that surface transmission is negligible and sanitising every item on your desk is a waste of time.

What an account.
Meanwhile every staff member now has free access to the streaming site for the Olympics. You optimistic set of legends.
Somewhere in Scotland is staying at a higher level.
Sex workers can "open back up" for "business" in a couple of weeks here
Do you receive a text message to book your rona vaccine if you're in England? Just got a message (to the wrong name, obviously) with a link to book a vaccine. Is it just a scam or is somebody sitting waiting for their text and it's come to me?
It does come by text, but I'm sure there's some scam texts going around too.
Well I just messaged them through their website.
If I don't get a response then I'll just relocate to Corby for a few weeks and assume this guy's identity until I'm vaccinated.
You might like his life better than yours so don't be hasty.
Do some snooping, if his wife is better than a 7/10 then go full I'M THE REAL SEYMORE SKINNER.
It's about time my life jumped the shark, tbf. Liven things up a bit.
That text sounds like a scam. I got a text with a link, but it wasn't personally addressed to me (or incorrectly to someone else) and the link was obviously a legit one (but I didn't click on it and went through my laptop via Google anyway).
The replies
So I got a call on my work phone this morning that I didn't recognise and said it was from Kettering. I couldn't have told you Kettering and Corby are local to each other so just binned it as spam and thought no further of it. Then got another message asking me to book my COVID jab so I googled the number that called me and sure enough it's the same medical centre who'd messaged me. I'd messaged them via their website but they've probably not read it yet.
So they follow up with another text reassuring me (by the wrong name) that this is definitely for me. So I text them back and they respond (presumably automated) with a link to reply so I click that. It starts "Hi Matthew", which wasn't a strong opening and then it wanted me to add this fella's date of birth to proceed so that's a no go.
Fuck it, I think, I'll just call them.
"You are number...... 7..... in the call queue."
Nope.
Increasingly looks like it'll be easier to just assume this fella's identity. Do we already have a member called Matthew or will I be free to switch over?
Can you not just book the vaccine here:

Well I'm not trying to book a vaccine, I'm trying to get this lot to stop pestering me on my work phone.
Fair enough.
They do sound quite special.
Just get your vaccine you Anti-Vaxx plague rat.
I bet people don't speak to Matthew this way.
Matt Power.
Pavel. He's a Matthew. Just go in there with a grapeless arse.

I bet I can rule at least one potential measure out.
It's a good job the people of Blackburn have had no reason to attend gatherings today.
We're going to Center Parcs in a week. If this Indian Variant bollocks fucks that up again there is a strong possibility that I'll go full Guy Fawkes.
You're gonna jump off some scaffolding to your death? Think of the kids.
Didn't realise Center Parcs had branched out to Portugal.
Hoping to go abroad in October but not sure I can be arsed with the constant pissing about with where is and isn't allowed. It's mental that they have a green list at all if they're going to chimp out every time we get a new variant.
