See 7 CommentsOne of his more famous gaffes was when Prince Philip told British students in China during the 1986 state visit: "If you stay here much longer, you'll all be slitty-eyed." He told the President of Nigeria, while he was dressed in traditional robes, on a visit in 2003: "You look like you're ready for bed." His daughter, Princess Anne, has a well documented love of horses. In 1970 Prince Philip addressed this and said: "If it doesn't fart or eat hay, she isn't interested." In 2002, when visiting an Aboriginal culture park in the Queensland rainforests of Australia, he asked an Aboriginal businessman: "Do you still throw spears at each other?" William Brim replied: "No. We don't do that any more." When he met the then Scottish Tory leader Annabel Goldie in 2007 he said: "That's a nice tie... Do you have any knickers in that material?" He said of the Concorde which flew over Buckingham Palace in 2002 before it was decommissioned: "I must be the only person in Britain glad to see the back of that plane." The Queen and Prince Philip have been married for 70 years. When speaking of the topic of marriage in 1997 the Duke of Edinburgh said: "You can take it from me the Queen has the quality of tolerance in abundance." He lost his patience when an official photograph was being taken in 2015 at the RAF Club, and was said to exclaim: "Just take the f****** picture." To schoolboy George Barlow in 2003, who had written a letter to the Queen, Prince Philip reportedly said: "Ah, you're the one who wrote the letter. So you can write then. Ha, ha!" He told a 13-year-old boy, Andrew Adams "you're too fat to be an astronaut" on a school visit in 2001. The Duke of Edinburgh met with a 25-year-old council worker, Hannah Jackson, in 2012 in Bromley, in Kent. She was wearing a dress with a zip running the length of its front and he said to her: "I would get arrested if I unzipped that dress." He met with Malala Yousafzai in 2013, who survived an assassination attempt by the Taliban after campaigning for the right of girls to go to school without fear. She giggled as he remarked: "[Children] go to school because their parents don't want them in the house." When Prince Philip turned 90 in 2011 he jovially remarked that "bits are beginning to drop off".

See 6 CommentsI thought maybe it would be interesting as we all have mobile cameras handy these days it might be fun while we are out and about shopping, exercising, gardening, or just around the house, to snap a pic of something you come across that's interesting, funny, quirky, sad or annoying with maybe a caption. It doesn't need to be technically excellent. I'll start us off with this I took of my first daffodil, it got me thinking.... The Covid Lockdown Months. Sad and Lonely.

See 28 CommentsYahoo News UK Jimmy Nsubuga Wed, 3 March 2021, 2:36 pm Labour councillor suspended ‘for getting private COVID jab The Labour party has suspended one of its councillors after she claimed to have received a coronavirus vaccination from a “private care doctor”. Jamila Azad's Facebook status update said she got a jab from a private medic – amid ''a long wait for NHS waiting list''. But the vaccine is currently only available on the NHS, and it is illegal for it to be administered outside of the service. Azad's post from last week said: “My darling daughter took me to a Private Care Doctor for Covid 19 vaccine. ''A long wait for NHS waiting list. We had take away from Akber take away.” The status, which has since been removed, included photos of the councillor and another woman. They appear to be receiving jabs from a medic in scrubs and PPE. Azad, represents St Clements and Cowley Marsh on Oxfordshire County Council, and St Clements on Oxford City Council.

See 49 CommentsI have been wrestling with the thought of just accepting this and marking it down as a bad experience. But I feel you need to know the truth and I especially owe it to Harry French to explain what happened. I received a PM, telling me that they believe I have multiple aliases and that Harry French is one of them. This is an outrageous accusation. There is only one of me and as for Harry French, I know for a fact he is a genuine member as we communicated with each other when he returned from Hospital after fighting Covid for 2.5 months. When he felt a little better he restarted on SL. Then I received the PM telling me, what they have been manipulated into believing with no evidence, that I have to delete one or the other account or they would remove both. When I told Harry he deleted his account straight away so I wouldn't lose mine. I have asked how they came up with these unfounded accusations and show me evidence and proof. But none has been forthcoming. They have acted solely on malicious lies and have been manipulated. This is grossly Unprofessional. I don't know how long this will be allowed to stay up but I had to expose it. If I am thrown out of scoop for telling the truth then so be it. I shall say goodbye to the friends I have made on here. Take care.

See 1 CommentTHE TELEGRAPH Dominic Penna Fri, 5 February 2021, 7:17 pm A new coronavirus drug which successfully cured 30 cases of the disease in Israeli hospital patients has been hailed by scientists as a ‘huge breakthrough’. The EXO-CD24 substance was developed at the Ichilov Medical Centre in Tel Aviv and successfully completed its first phase of clinical trials on Friday. The treatment was given to 30 patients with coronavirus, whose conditions ranged from moderate to severe. Twenty-nine of the patients were then discharged from the hospital in the following three to five days, while one patient took slightly longer to recover. A protein known as CD24 is delivered to the lungs by exosomes in the drug, which helps to rebalance the immune system and prevent it from overreacting to the virus. Professor Nadir Arber originally designed EXO-CD24, which is breathed in as a gas and taken once every five days, in order to treat patients who had ovarian cancer. “Even if the vaccines do their job, and even if there aren't any new mutations, one way or another, the coronavirus will be staying with us,” Prof Arber told the news site Arutz Sheva. “The results of the phase one trials are excellent, and all give us confidence in the method Arber has been researching in his lab for many years.”

Anything ! WHO urges UK to share vaccinations worldwide once vulnerable have received jabs. (Edited)See 110 CommentsLaura Parnaby, PA media. Sat, 30 January 2021, 4:29 am The World Health Organisation is urging the UK to pause its vaccination programme once vulnerable groups have received their jabs to help ensure the global rollout is fair. WHO spokeswoman Margaret Harris said she wanted to appeal to people in the UK, telling them “you can wait”, because ensuring equitable global distribution is “clearly morally the right thing to do”. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said he aims to offer all UK adults a first dose by autumn, but the WHO has said countries should be aiming for “two billion doses” to be “fairly distributed” around the world by the end of 2021. DO YOU AGREE ?

See 9 CommentsWhen humans were primitive they were visited by superior beings looking for a new home as theirs was coming to its end. Unfortunately earth was not suitable for them long-term, they needed to explore elsewhere. In case nowhere was to be found and to ensure the continuation of their species, (in some form,) they spliced their highest functioning DNA with a suitable animal host. That animal evolved to be us. This is why we are so completely different to any other being on earth and why we have this inner conflict between our higher functioning intellect and our base animal instincts. As we continue to evolve and look back on history we can see that our visitors DNA is becoming more dominant. We worshiped these visitors as Gods and as time passes we re evaluate the meaning of God, depending on our gained knowledge experiences and circumstance. We look to the stars for their return. Genesis 1:27: “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female"

See 27 CommentsLabour has become embroiled in its own “cronyism” row as it emerged that Sadiq Khan has handed out £500 million in contracts without going through the usual tender process, The contracts, which were not put out to competitive bidding, include five agreements awarded to a firm whose chairman is the uncle of a Labour frontbencher, who at the time worked for the London Mayor. The revelations have led senior Tories to accuse Labour (which has repeatedly attacked the Government for awarding contracts to firms during the coronavirus without openly advertising them) of hypocrisy. Transport for London, which he is chairman of, has awarded approximately half a billion pounds through 946 contracts which did not go through the usual open tendering process. The firm’s chairman, Peter Murray, is the uncle of James Murray, the former deputy mayor for housing at City Hall who advised Mr Khan during his election campaigns.

See 4 CommentsI can't understand this obsession and paranoia that I have noticed on different posts from certain people about aliases. As been mentioned, very rarely does somebody use their own name, and rightly so for privacy and security. As a newcomer I have been accused of this, without foundation. I heard a story about a newcomer who joined a group and was hounded out of that group, was called a d**k head amongst other things from the "stand in" moderator at the time, this is not setting a good example and a complete misuse of their position. Apparently the new member left the group and deleted their account with SL. I would urge SL to investigate this inappropriate harassment if they want to make this site a welcoming place and to encourage more new members.

See 17 CommentsA golf ⛳tournament finals and the match was halved at the end of 17 holes. You had the honour and hit your ball a modest two hundred fifty yards to the middle of the fairway, leaving a simple six iron to the pin. Your opponent then hits his ball, lofting it deep into the woods to the right of the fairway. Being the golfing gentleman that you are, you help your opponent look for his ball. Just before the permitted five minute search period ends, your opponent says: "Go ahead and hit your second shot and if I don't find it in time, I'll concede the match." You hit your ball, landing it on the green, stopping about ten feet from the pin. About the time your ball comes to rest, you hear your opponent exclaim from deep in the woods: "I found it!" The second sound you hear is a click, the sound of a club striking a ball and the ball comes sailing out of the woods and lands on the green, stopping no more than six inches from the hole. Now here is the ethical dilemma:

See 74 CommentsIf I may I would like tell you my experience as a new member of scooploop. Shortly after joining I was invited by Brianm to join "All aboard". No sooner had I clicked on the join button, without uttering a word I received an email telling me I have been rejected, and I am not the only one. As I understand it CatherineS was standing in for Brianm while he was away. Reading back on her historical comments and replies it appears that she is paranoid about new members and aliases. The environment that she has created is not helping new members feel comfortable and at home on scooploop. This twisted and bitter paranoia that she is carrying is not healthy. Brianm I would suggest you think twice in engaging her as caretaker admin in your absence in the future should it arise, otherwise your group may stagnate without new blood.
