I'd put up with fluffy hairdos and pointy tits again if it would knock 50 years off my age.

Exactly the same shot wifey and I got in 2021, I do not know what it was with this shot, but every other vaccine I have ever had, my arm hurt more then ever with Shingrix...same with wifey. It was really painful for 2 days...anyone know why this one hurts so much? The needles look the same, they are not bigger by any means.

I don't know the reason why.

When I had the Shingrix shot the other day the person administering the shot warned me that my arm would hurt more than with other vaccines. It did.

I'd go with

ฉันรวยฉิบหาย

Pick your vaccine carefully (if you have the choice).

Zostavax - single shot - 41% effective in 70-79yo, 18% effective in those over 80.

Shingrix - two shots 2-6 months apart 97.9% effective in those over 70 years.

Had my first Shingrix shot a couple of weeks ago. Had Zostavax years ago.

Spikes are the way. I usually give birds a chance by sticking them in plain view as impossible places to sit. Disguising them as poppys for unsuspecting birds to land and pierce thenselves on doesn't break any rules. But.......

I don't now if you missed the "point".

The pigeon stole the poppies herself and used the spikes to weave the nest.

I like spikes

Nice hands, your life line is very long.

I have posted this before.

The pigeon that was stealing the poppies from the tomb of the unknown soldier at the Australian War memorial.

Notice the use of spikes in the construction of the nest.

Maybe for him, not for the operator and all future idiots trying to repeat the stunt.

 

EDIT: And this video may already have given some of them that idea.

I was thinking of the Jackass movies.

That story isn't quite clear where the tool went missing from.

Quote

The Bureau said that the tool had been missing since December 6, 2023.

FlightRadar24 says the aircraft flew from Sydney to LAX on 6th December. Looks like it spent 2-3 days in the US not flying before going from LAX to Melbourne.

Tool Found At LAX In Qantas Airbus A380 Engine After 1 Month Missing

Australian investigators have disclosed that mechanics found a tool inside a Qantas Airbus A380 engine after it has been missing for a month at LAX.

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has disclosed that it was investigating a foreign object debris (FOD) event that involved a Qantas Airbus A380, which landed at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on February 2, 2024.

Missing tool

According to the investigators, the event happened during a maintenance inspection at LAX when the Airbus A380, registered as VH-OQI, landed from Sydney Airport (SYD). The ATSB detailed that a compressor turning tool was found behind the fan blades of the number 1 engine, which is the first engine mounted on the left-side wing.

The Bureau said that the tool had been missing since December 6, 2023. However, the ATSB will release a final report when it concludes its investigation into the matter, adding that if a critical safety issue should appear during the process, it will notify all relevant parties.

Unfortunately no happy hour price on my 60B SangSom Sodas. Guess the boss wants guys like me subsidizing the CC beer drinkers.

Do I see a market for a hip flask designed to look like a mobile phone?
