I think people used to be scared of this new technology breaking aeroplanes and maybe they just left the rules in place on some airlines.

No, you had a bad cold. I used to think the same as you, until one year I really did have the flu. It's another ball game altogether - I could actually understand how people could die of it. I now know I've only had flu once in my life and I never want to have it again.

The last couple of flights I've been on they've also asked you to alert the crew if your electronic device starts to emit smoke. I wonder what people used to do? About as likely as a conflagration in a petrol station from someone using a phone while filling their car.

I've had flu and Pneumonia in the past.
It could have been covid as I was wiped out for 2 days with full body ache and a high temperature.
I still have a cold, runny nose, phlegm on chest.

Ive always assumed a flu jab protects you against some strains of the flu but not all

I think the deathwatchness of it is fine. It just has the wrong title.

The thread-starter can change it, but as people who follow deaths will know, that's now impossible. A moderator probably could.

From what I feel like is a bird's eye view, someone who at this point I feel like we treat now as Voldemort.

Spa days. Pay £150 to visit a swimming pool you can't actually swim in and sit around in a dressing gown chatting to your mates. People love them so perhaps I'm missing something. Doing one next week so will see if I can be persuaded but strongly suspect it will confirm my views!

I always thought that nobody actually pays for their own spa days unless its a group thing.
