Re: PM Rishi Sunak naughty

Devil, I was referring to commoners, as in you or I.

Bishops and Archbishops for example. Started off as Joe Bloggs next door, now in the House of Lords, by right, ridiculous.

Re: Ancestry DNA

Interesting, personally, at my age, I don't really care about finding long lost relatives, if they find me, so be it. DNA can help with health conditions, which may well be terminal if not diagnosed early, so markers in the DNA, can help in that respect, breast cancer for example. The other thing is...

Re: PM Rishi Sunak naughty

To be fair Devil, a lot of the members of the House of Lords, started off as commoners.

The idea of House of Lords, was initially just that, now however, you do not need a title to become a member of the House, a complete farce really, as I see it.

You can elect to have your DNA attached to you, on your family tree, on Ancestry if you wish.

Re: PM Rishi Sunak naughty

Desperate times, call for desperate measures Devil. Our country is straining under the sheer numbers of illegal immigrants arriving here daily. They are being housed in hotels at a huge cost to the tax payer, and yet veterans are allowed to sleep rough, in freezing weather, in their mother country. ...

Ancestry DNA

Has any member of PL had their DNA analysed by Ancestry?

Mine is in the last stages of analysis, and I'm interested to see the results. If you have had yours done, were you surprised by the results?

Re: Flu/Covid

My belief that more died of Covid WITH underlying causes, than without, was brought into question, even though it is true.

Even I can search for information, so therefore, can anyone else. Even though I have to put up with the usual suspects, name calling!

Re: Flu/Covid

Yes Dominic I know, but not everyone my age can do these things. Indeed one friend of mine, a teaching assistant, doesn't even own a computer, and hasn't a clue how to use one. My first working knowledge of a computer, many years ago, was a main frame computer, so you will appreciate that my working...

Re: Flu/Covid

Right, now we have got, who should do what, put to bed, what about those numbers, which I was asked to prove, and with some help, have now been.

Is the subject now forgotten in all the 'politically correct' discourse?

You can think what you like. And if I knew how to provide a link I would

Other than that, is it really too hard to look for yourself?

I never knew that to belong to this forum, it was a requirement to comply with another posters request. Interesting, or it could be.

Try 'Google' the same as I did.

I suppose the NHS website might be lying!

Both the friends of mine that died of Covid, they both had underlying health conditions.

Re: Flu/Covid

You say that the effects of having Covid, were minimal to you. Just so we know, have you ever had Covid vaccine?
