A list of countries that could benefit from British colonization:

England
Antarctica
California

This is how they'll find many of us here once Covid subsides and the country reopens again.

I think we've been there and done that, more or less. It would be more accurate to speak of English colonisation (considering the UK's own history, but happy to be corrected on that).

Oh caller, you're a brave man entering that territory! Probably more suited to the history thread, but there's an interesting question of colonisation vs conquest. And in the case of Scotland there was a brilliant move by Queen Liz I in appointing the king of Scotland as her successor, so perhaps they colonised us!

To all you under the nose mask wearers and in particular the obnoxious Aussie cockwomble I encountered in Tesco's the other day

That I agree with 100%. Those who do that may as well not wear any mask at all. Just stupid and inconsiderate of others.

(Sheesh, it's hard to find this thread! Why isn't it in the coronavirus subforum?)

Just came across this on the BBC.

Covid: Man offered vaccine after error lists him as 6.2cm tall

A Thai cartoon:

Rat #1. "Are you going to get the vaccine?"
Rat #2: "Are you crazy, they're still testing it on humans."

For those of a certain age...

Deja vu.
