Sir Stirling Moss has passed away. What a great life he must have had. His feat in the Mille Miglia in 1955 for example, what an experience. 1000 miles through Italy in a little over 10 hours. I recently watched this with Clive James. Moss was the coolest man, funny and charming. Sadly James died recently too. Few had a better way with words, so witty and cleaver. Nice watch if you never seen it.

The video below is part 2 of a couple of webinars going on atm on GHG production in Agriculture. About an hour long and there's an earlier one I haven't found yet.

I've had to finish my theological course via email and Zoom conference calls.
We would hold our hand up, like used to do in school, and the leader would give the go-ahead to talk. It gets mad if everyone starts to talk at the same time. Takes a bit of practice, especially if the discussion gets heated.

That was a favourite in our school too 🙄

These are the people calling for a government of unity to get through the crisis. Can you imagine the mess it would be to be letting all these idiots have their say and argue their case. Nothing would happen and thousands of people would die as they all have their moment in the spotlight.

She must have had something onboard when she started that rant. Mary Lou has some job on her hands.

She is definitely not a great representation of our county.

Happy Easter everyone.

This time next year hopefully Coronavirus is a distant memory that huge positives came from,like Govt Depts and likes of HSE realising decisive decisions and action can be taken without sitting on ‘reports’ for years.
That red tape is reduced in all areas of life as we as a Society realise paperwork for paperwork’s sake is a waste of time and precious resources.

Couldn't get a seat in the local council election and now a TD. Did she pay her rent arrears yet?

Six years ago a hospital in Chile installed copper equipment in the hospital to stop bacteria and viruses spreading.

Six years ago.

I wonder did any other hospitals follow suit?

Edit: And this really is ancient technology.

There is water disinfectant used more in Europe, which is a combination of Hydrogen Peroxide and Silver. Can be used in drinking water treatment in place of chlorine. The peroxide is the immediate kill whilst the silver gives the longer term protection. I would much prefer if it was used, but it's dearer and possibly seen by engineers as a bit alternative.
Brand name would be Sanosil.

Doesn't take away from the effectiveness of it though.

Copper has been used down the centuries for a wide range of things from copper bellies on war ships in the British empire to make them go faster to Egyptians using vessels to sterilize wounds and drinking water.

I wasn't disagreeing, just pointing out they can likely get copper for their own use like the Saudis get petrol.

Interesting that I heard in the last two days about "copper bottomed" ships, reducing the drag from barnacles.

A local man is running an ultra marathon in his back garden today to raise funds for frontline workers. He started at 8am and I think its 550 laps of his garden he has to do to make the 63km. He is aiming for five thousand euro and has over 4k at present.

Plastic and surprisingly stainless steel are the 2 substances that bacteria can live longer on.

Thus the concern with supermarkets.

Anyone ever tear the tendon in their elbow ?
I've been cleaning back the ditch at the side of the house for the last few days. Working the slasher yesterday evening and with a fairly light swing something went in my elbow.
Mild pain now but if I straighten the arm and lock the elbow I get an unmerciful dart of pain. It's right on the elbow so assuming can only be the tendon.

I did a simular injury during the snow of Winter 2010/ Spring 11. I was chipping frozen snow off the driveway with a shovel for a few hours. I couldn't drink a cup of coffee or hold the phone to my ear as my right elbow would lock half way. Worst of all I couldn't fly fish when the season started on Paddy's day. I tried to convince my GP to give me a cortisone injection into it but he told me to learn to cast with my left arm

Missing the simple things, missing Saturday lunch and a chat over the papers with my mother. In her eighties now, so have to keep my distance.
