It was my eyes that were the main problem, that was the tree bark, if really bad they would swell and completely close up to the point I couldn't see, once they identified the tree bark the stuff they gave me in those injections pretty much made it all go away apart from some very mild symptoms.

I've never heard of this allergy before, very weird lol glad it went away, that would have majorly sucked.

if y'all want a quick vacation within England, this place is now open, 40 quid and you get to go on the ride of your life. looks like a ton of fun, can't wait to do it on my next fly over.

I have been dying of hayfever for the last two days.

I used to have Hayfever real bad, to the point where I had to go to the docs every Saturday for an injection after having some extensive tests to identify what I was specifically allergic to, turns out it was one type of grass and tree bark, fortunately I grew out of it by 18, if you guys are are still suffering with it and living in towns/cities where I would have thought it would be much milder then that can't be good.

why not take an antihistmaine like zyrtec or claritin?

Surprisingly I didn't suffer from any hayfever last year purely because I was furloughed most of summer and I was at home mainly.
But i'm back at work and currently having to commute to work it will probably start and funny enough I swear asians suffer hayfever the most.

I'm sorry you suffer from that stuff mate. I have never experienced any kind of allergy really. I'm allergic to an antibiotic or two, but that's about it.

Made a delicious little pasta bake. It was all gone in less than 30mins.

Most importantly it was very mum aporoved and that is quite an achievement cuz she tends to hate everything. Even me!

Lean mince pasta bake with about 30 different cheeses........ Putting the fat back in lean.

Fookin avit lads


(Funny story -- I wasnt at all confident that it would be that great either, I have no idea what im doing in the kitchen. Dad didnt have any confidence either and was getting ready to cook dinner just as i had finished thinking it wouldnt be any good but even he likes it)

Look at all these muppets. Thinking that relaxing of lockdown restrictions means that covid is gone. very little social distancing and hardly any of them with a mask. Meanwhile BBC reported an African variant of the virus making the rounds last night which to me is highly suspicious. What amazing timing!

I give it around a month before we're back in lockdown again.

yep, it's a shame people don't understand basic logic anymore. I mean the vaccine was literally almost available to everyone in UK and USA (by end of May for vast majority) (by end of June for all)... if people could have just waited until mid-June everything would have sorted itself out I think. eh ---watch another variant come out of this mess.

does anyone know what vaccine Boris Johnson or the Queen received? just curious

China:

Its a game they play, also they recently increased their Naval drills around Taiwan. China is either trying to bait Taiwan into throwing the first punch or Taiwan is going to be invaded when China cant wait any longer and loses patience.

So very little in the way of positive or good news then at the moment??

It seems time for the Allied nations to show China who's boss and blockade Taiwan.

Apparently there was some sort of joint agreement or pact (i forgot what it was called...) that Trump had with few of the allied Asian nations to co-police the Paracel and spratly islands that would see their respective Navys patrol those islands and keep them as a no-mans-land between the different nations. Everybody around those islands has laid claim to them - Even Vietnam has gotten in on the action. China has actually taken over these islands and built missile defences on them. The Allied Asian nations are still waiting for the US to act and retake the islands with them but i doubt that is going to happen any time soon if at all with the new government currently in office but we need to give him time to settle in before any serious work starts.

Pasta bake #2 'creamy edition'

Its a pasta bake but made with left over ingredients from my attempt at making lasagne that didnt turn out so well. there is a layer of emmental cheese with a serving of white sauce and it was stringy like pizza when plated up.

Look at it!

Do you know the rules of visiting England? I'd really like to visit my relatives again there this summer (my job ends May 20th) so I am free all summer... once I reach 100% inoculation from Pfizer vaccine, and can prove it (I'm actually taking video of me getting my second shot and not stopping camera once from walking in to clinic etc, so if I run into any trouble with airport or immigration I can be like yo homies I got video evidence I got the jab) take yo vaccine passports and shove em ~ nothing beats video baby ~

If you're in the "green" list or whatever list the UK has declared in theory you should be able to fly to the UK but you will probably have to stay at their designated Hotel and self isolate for 2 weeks still.

the government website doesn't say this anymore, it says you have to show a negative PCR test within 72 hours of flying to UK, and immigration then allows you to stay at your place of residence or wherever you are going, you must go straight there and quarantine for ten days and someone will most likely be by knocking on your door within those ten days to make sure you are where you say you are too.

honestly seems like a fair deal to me. the only problem I have now is well, you also have to take two tests while in your 10 day isolation (for me it would be with my relatives) even if they have free tests I am not allowed to use them, not sure on costs but I believe I will have to pay at least 100 quid a pop to have two tests done within that ten day time period. but honestly the government website was not very clear on this part of it.

I'd love to be in England as soon as mid-June... I will have 100% inoculation with pfizer vaccine by then. honestly the other vaccines need to go, they still allow the spread of the virus to easily. mRNA is the only one that has saved the day.

Yeah, it's meant to be that way but a report in the press a while ago said that there are almost zero check-ups being done. We're sort of New Zealand Zero. It looks and tastes like quarantine but it's got no checks.

Petrol crises for the yanks

The average price for petrol was the highest on Tuesday since November 2014, at $2.98 (£2.11) per gallon, the American Automobile Association said.

£2.11 might just buy a UK Litre Oh sob for the Yanks

well I'm not a ****, so I will be there the entire ten days if they do want to knock anyway. /shrug i plan to be there all summer, as my job is contract based/remote, and mostly don't work in summer. so sitting still and reading for ten days is small price to pay.

it's only going to get worse too. there are not enough petrol semi truck drivers... and demand is about to explode since the nice weather, etc.

My suggestion would be to start loading up on TV shows because UK TV is absolute trash. We got netflix & HBO services too but a lot of the stuff you get in the USA is probably region locked in the UK so there might be shows that you normally watch that arent available.

At least if you got something on a hard drive you know you know its always available. You dont need to but being locked up for 10 days can be a drag.
