    Sweden lifted their Covid restrictions tonight (after a relatively short periode of actual restrictions).

    Panic petrol buying! There have been people fighting and one even threatening with a knife?! I think people have become used to being scared over the corona virus that they will now panic at every little thing the media tells them to panic about.

    I have managed to get petrol when I needed it. Although it will be difficult for me because of the distance, if I cannot get petrol I will travel to work on the public transport if I cannot get more.

    My wife works in a care home for the elderly, some of the staff have been having great trouble. There are also many carers who need to visit elderly people in their own homes to care for them. This, and doctors and nurses, emergency workers not being able to get fuel to get to their places of work is a real problem.

    Massive queues on a three road intersection where one of my local stations is. Another was fine in the morning, but once word got around, queues extended so far they disturbed the bus routes and traffic junctions at either end of a mile long high street. Social media doesn't help - as soon as a station has petrol, someone names it and anyone in the local (ish) area who's online chooses to go get some gas. Horrendous.

    But the important questions are of cource if people have enough petrol to visit their cinema to watch NTTD and if there is Coke Zero available. Let's keep our eyes on the ball, people. 😐

    Nazi criminal on the run! We don't read that headline often these days, most of us probably never expected to see that kind og news again. But a woman who was a secretary in a consentration camp during WW2 didn't show up for trial and the police are now searching for her. The woman is 96 years old.

    It's easy to see the comical side of a 96 year old woman om the run, but it's chilling to read that she is charged with contributing to 11 412 murders.

    Swedish police warns citizens against taking selfies with elks. I love it when Swedes live up to our cliches from the jokes! 🤣🤣🤣

    This November a remake of the Czechoslovakian/DDR movie "Three wishes for Cinederella" will be released. Many watch the origonal for Christmas or new years. But now some people have discovered a gaffe (mistake) in the new poster. Can you spot it?

    Answer: the bow is reversed. The string should be on the oposite side and the bow should be curving the oposite direction. It's not the ancient version of holding the gun backwards forwards because you probably can't kill anyone with this bow. Maybe it's comparable to putting the bolt and rounds pointing the wrong direction in the gun? It's stupid anyway and I hope they make a new poster.

    Wow, that's quite a coup for him. Saw David was on This Morning recently too.

    Back in June, we had to make a decision re. Covid vaccination:


    1. Get the unpopular Johnson & Johnson vaccine knowing that the efficacy is only 65% but it will very much likely keep us away from the ER incase that we are getting infected. J&J was the only available vaccine for our age group back then.
    2. Wait for another 4-8 weeks to receive a MRNA vaccination and then get a booster 4 weeks later which wohld have meant that summer would be over.

    We decided for 1. *and our vaccination commission (Stiko) yesterday advised that all J&J vaccinated people should get an MRNA booster shot now.


    Happy to report that we‘ll receive our Biontec shot next Wednesday.

    *We both agreed to behave just like we would be unvaccinated to prevent infection as good as we could.One reason, why I did not attend the NTTD premiere in London last week

    Do you think a complete removal of Covid-19 restrictions in Germany is close or months into the future?

  • HigginsHiggins GermanyPosts: 16,619MI6 Agent

    I don‘t think so.

    Our vaccination rate is too low to open up - there are simply too many unvaccinated people around and they will get their infection in the coming months presumably.

    Congratulations to Dimitrij Muratov and Maria Ressa with the Nobel peace prize! Free press and truth itself is under attack and they are just two of the many journalists who risk their life every day to expose power.

    The glaciers feeding the famous Seven Sisters waterfalls by the Geiranger fjord (do yourself a favour and search with Google Images) have become 40% smaller in the last thirteen years. Glaciers are disapearing all over the world. Do you think this is pure chance or could could it be that almost all scientists working with meteorology and other related fields be right?

    Tonight there was a mass shooting in the town of Kongsberg near Oslo. Very rare here, but even rarer the man used bow and arrow! The archer is arrested and there are five killed and two wounded. We don't know the motives of the killer.

  • Charmed & DangerousCharmed & Dangerous Posts: 7,358MI6 Agent

    It's the leading article on BBC News here in the U.K. A bow and arrow is very bizarre to say the least. It looks as though it's not being treated as terror related.

  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 22,334MI6 Agent

    The police can't say yet if it's terror related, but the police security service PST (domestic counter-inteligence) was contacted very early.

    I have a little bit of experience with archery and I think the ratio of deaths versus wounded indicates he's a skilled archer.

    Thanks. In an average year we get about thirty murders (seven gun related so far) so five murders in about 40 minutes is a shock.

    The arrested man is a Danish citizen living in Kongsberg. The domestic inteligence service PST say they were aware of him. He has converted to islam and threathend to kill his father earlier. PST say it looks like terrorism, but they can't say for sure yet.
