definitely the most I've ever looked forward to probably feeling absolutely awful all weekend

Post by **blombluss** » Thu May 13, 2021 6:42 pm

Heh! Nail on head, there! *thumbs up*

Post by **vom** » Sat May 15, 2021 10:40 am

I've been jabbed! And I got Pfizer, so perhaps I won't feel awful all weekend (I believe Pfizer is a more "second jab feel bad" one?)

anyway it was a very enjoyable experience and I am happy!

hooray for vom

Good-o Vom! Hurrah!

re: Pfizer / feel worse after the second jab

Yup, that's what I've been told by the peeps that've had both jabs.

Both my jabbus appointments were cancelled immediately after Boris's update on the news yesterday. I got texts and am e-mail saying cancelled book again. No reason given. So I booked them again, and this time the availability was much better and sooner. I've got my first on Monday now, instead of end of May. Weird.

very odd. but good for you!

Post by **dng** » Sat May 15, 2021 5:05 pm

I went to get mine but the steward said my booking hadn't worked or something so I came home

Post by **blombluss** » Sat May 15, 2021 6:59 pm

Good stuff, Mr. Hound, and bloody hell, Dave, how odd. I'm surprised they then just didn't ask you for your details, and sort it out on the spot (which they did with me, after my Mom asked, etc, etc).

I had the vauxhall astra jab at 2pm yesterday. I was dead by 3.

Actually, I felt fine until the middle of the night. I woke up with teeth chattering chills. Fell back to sleep okay. This morning I feel a bit warm and keep yawning like I've had no sleep.

Post by **blombluss** » Tue May 18, 2021 2:37 pm

Nice one, Chortvuss! Good to know you recovered from your 3pm dead-ness.

Post by **vom** » Tue May 18, 2021 9:30 pm

I had no side effects from the Pfizer, aside from a briefly sore arm. I expect to receive some kind of effect from the second jab, but that's not for months, the world might have blown up by then.

Post by **blombluss** » Wed May 19, 2021 1:28 am

Why can't side effects include stuff like floating 10 cubits in the air or growing a third arm? Y'know, stuff you'd like and want to happen.

Post by **blombluss** » Fri May 21, 2021 1:41 pm

After five weekes, I still get the occasional aches in my jabbus arm zone.

JAB

I am waiting fifteen minutes to see if I die

Post by **vom** » Sat May 22, 2021 10:46 am

hooray for jab

Jaaaaaabed. And all it took was an exciting trip to Borehamwood

Post by **vom** » Tue May 25, 2021 4:18 pm

Nice jabwork

Love to see a jab get jabbed

Post by **blombluss** » Tue May 25, 2021 6:10 pm

Wasn't Star Wars filmed there? So I guess you experienced Jabba in The Hutt!!!!

Also - nice one Swizz!

Post by **blombluss** » Thu Jun 24, 2021 12:03 am

I had my second one this afternoon, and I don't currently feel particularly well. Not half as bad as the first time, though. I also experienced some fairly strong mood swings about 30 minutes after the jab, which was... interesting, if nothing else!

Post by **Chortle Hound** » Thu Jun 24, 2021 8:40 am

Hope you feel better soon, Homfrus.

Post by **dng** » Thu Jun 24, 2021 10:57 am

yes. good luck homfrus

Post by **blombluss** » Thu Jun 24, 2021 2:47 pm

Thanks chaps!

Thaps!

I still feel like I've got quite a hangover/high temperature, but hurrah anyway!

Post by **Chortle Hound** » Thu Jun 24, 2021 9:12 pm

I got a text today saying I can now get my 2nd dose at a walk in centre instead of waiting for my next appointment. I'm going tomorrow.

Post by **dng** » Thu Jun 24, 2021 9:18 pm

Hooray. Good man

Post by **vom** » Thu Jun 24, 2021 9:21 pm

Oh nice! I would be very pleased to get a similar text, if anyone with jab in power is reading this

Post by **blombluss** » Fri Jun 25, 2021 1:04 am

All the best with it, Chortvusk!

I was listening to a Ron Burgundy podcast in which he was in possession of a vial of a VIP Covid vaccine made in the Marshall Islands, non FDA approved, and containing flecks of gold. It's 101% efficient, but doesn't work on non-celebrities because they have less platelets in their blood.

Post by **Bruce Sato** » Wed Jun 30, 2021 7:22 pm

University has opened up walk-in places for students and staff who haven't had their first jab, and one of these is about 15 minutes' walk away, so I'll try to get in there on Friday. I believe I count as university staff.

Post by **blombluss** » Wed Jun 30, 2021 7:26 pm

Good-o! Definitely try to get one, Bruce, if you can!

Second jab: cancelled
Second jab: immediately rebooked for exactly the same time but a couple of miles further away
Pffff

I like the cut of your jib jab

Post by **vom** » Sat Jul 03, 2021 3:28 pm

just managed to rebook my second jab for next weekend (instead of the end of the month), and at a venue I can walk to this time

hooray

Everyone else gets horrible side effects, and I barely even had the soreness you usually get from injections.

I miss all the fun.

I'm beginning to get properly worried about the viral free for all that'll kick off on July 19th. If I'm wrong, then please do reassure me!

But you had the short-lived capacity to float 6ft above the ground, right?

unfortunately not

my cousin's daughter has COVID at the moment, sounds like schools are getting it pretty badly now

TIME TO RE-OPEN EVERYTHING

My brother's wife got covid (at the school she worked at) before the very first lockdown and she's still ill with long covid now, 18 months later. But apparently that's okay it's nothing to worry about

Post by **Bruce Sato** » Sun Jul 04, 2021 10:38 pm

Ves, my sister says it's going through schools. She goes back to work (school) tomorrow for the first time after maternity leave. She's had both her jabs but even so. And she was shielding from last March onwards due to growing a baby, so it's all going to be incredibly strange for her.

I'm not going back to the office till I've had my second one, and have told my manager as much - and I do actually want to go back, at least some of the time, because I'm a bit fed up having to do all work in my home. I suspect that if anything there'll be more pressure on people to work from home, but we shall see.

Post by **blombluss** » Sun Jul 04, 2021 11:58 pm

I'm really sorry to hear about your sister-in-law, Dave, and your cousin's daughter, Tom.

I genuinely loathe 60% or so of the morons that live in this cretinous country.

Post by **blombluss** » Sun Jul 04, 2021 11:58 pm

And all the best for your sister, Bruce!
