Now the proud owner of a paper copy. Could not beat your wife's time 'cos I had to go to the kitchen calendar to get a vax date bit still managed 4 mins!

Debatable whether or not this action is necessary or helpful, but the sight of a government minister Googling a definition of a ‘night’club’ during a such an important parliamentary debate, at such a crucial time for businesses hanging by a thread is a new low for Holyrood, and that is up against some stiff competition of late. Considering the hammering hospitality etc has taken over the Covid period it was a quite despicable to see our parliament treated with such utter contempt. The ‘Minister’ responsible could not even outline the basic principles of the action, she should be sacked (again!)

All easy enough unless you're in my position and had one dose in Scotland and one dose outside Scotland - then the whole system becomes a complete mess. I do think it makes sense for everyone to get these certificates ASAP though. They're increasingly going to be needed and you don't want to be in the position of suddenly needing one and not having bothered.

Quite amazing and deeply concerning that nutjob British Nationalists will even use this to tell anti Scottish Government lies and spread coved disinformation. Forget apps - what you need is a Vaccine Status Certificate. You can request it online, or by phone. You don’t necessarily need access to a computer, smartphone, apps or a printer. All you need is your id numbers, which were on your vax letter. They are easy to get hold of if you no longer have your letter (see link below). Your certificate becomes available instantly. You can: a) Keep it on your phone and wave that as required. b) Print out a paper copy - my wife did this. The whole process from start to finish took her less than 2 minutes. c) Request a hard copy through the mail. I did this. It said it could take 14 days. I got it the next day. Really, it literally could not be easier, and don’t listen to idiots telling you otherwise. I imagine identical, or very similar systems are in place across the UK and indeed the whole world. Here is the link, with all the information. You can request a certificate from it. https://www.nhsinform.scot/covid-19-vaccine/after-your-vaccine/get-a-record-of-your-coronavirus-covid-19-vaccination-status As time goes on, this will get busy, so I’d recommend getting yourself sorted now.

Reading through the various links was interesting. It would appear that the phone call method is the one for me, as I received a phone call for my 1st Vax. and when attending, was given a small booklet showing my next appointment, plus an explanatory leaflet. Neither have any unique code. For easy reference the phone number is 0808 196 8565 lines open every day 10.00am to 6pm.

Anyway, as is our custom, welcome to Saints Efe Ambrose.

I think he can work well in a back 3 with Muller to the right and McCart to the left. The 3 takes a lot of the strain of a defence and his experience can only help, especially of Gordon is out for a spell.

Your other guess is closer

What kind of unit? I’ve got a nice mahogany side board going if you’re looking to swap.

Towards the bottom of the link provided above: If you've received your first, second or both vaccine doses in England, you can get your coronavirus vaccination status via the normal process by: downloading a PDF online phoning the COVID Vaccination Status Helpline This is because we have a data exchange in place with England. If your data is not showing, check another time as these files update regularly. If this is not resolved phone the COVID-19 Vaccination Status Helpline.

Oh you’re right. I was down in France for 6 weeks this summer, and a similar but stricter system came into play while I was there. There was a bit of protest as well, but in practice, it’s just a 2 second glance at your phone on the way into a restaurant or bar. Muggins here had to carry around my A4 certificate due to us not having an e-system in place! They also allowed you into venues if you’d passed a PCR test within the past 48 hours and weren’t vaccinated.

This has had some publicity, and they are working on fix, whatever that means. I think it’s IT Speak for “oh goody, lots of overtime”. The passport system doesn’t start until October 1st, so there is a bit of time. Bear in mind this is an admin system run by the NHS. It can only incorporate decisions once they are made by politicians, who really should have sorted some of the marginal issues before now (eg, what is a nightclub). But the fact remains, for the vast majority of people, accessing a passport/certificate/QR Code (it would end some of the confusion if they settled on one term) is extremely straightforward.

I've had both jabs outwith the UK, so long as it's manufactured by a UK approved provider there's not an issue. All the systems, nhs, boarder agencies, UK gov etc all are liked so as soon as you enter your certificate numbers it's shared. Downloading your certificate is the way to go and carrying a paper copy for those without smartphones is no different to carrying your wallet, driving license or bank card. For those who complain about the covid passports being a breach of civil liberties etc because they can't get into a pub, restaurant, cafe, cinemas etc, if it's a licensed premises, the landlord have the right to request ID anyway, no different to asking for a covid certificate, police ask driver's for driving licenses, again, no difference. The only thing holding back someone getting into crowded places/events now or in the future breaching their civil liberties would be that person themself.

Apparently there is a central defender training with the club today. Please don't be Efe Ambrose.

Great idea except that looney Rooney would get himself sent off

No, it’s a straight 6 v 6 draw. Doesn’t matter if we finish first or sixth. Wiki have a page just for this (they have a page for EVERYTHING). We’re still 4th. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_–_UEFA_Second_Round

Yer fecked . Wee Jimmy Sturgeon trying to put one over the English again . Embarrassing.

Sorry but this is all crap! 1) May was always going, his contract was ending that season, his agent instructed him not to sign a new one, so we cashed in. 2) We have been in the Premier League for the longest stretch of time I can remember (been supporting saints since 1995 when we were in the 1st division), we won 2 cups last season and have hit the top 6/Euro qualification several times in the last 10 years. We are the "Yo-yo" club that doesn't seem to yo-yo that much any more, save for in and out of the top 6. 3) Roddy is a director. Previously he was an associate director and before that a Lotto administrator. He's Saints through and through and a good ambassador for the club and is well respected in the game. 4) Sensible thing to do and has been done at many clubs over the years, including Saints. Back in the day Stewart Duff did a lot of the day-to-day running for Geoff. 5) Drey Wright couldn't agree a deal, we had no manager at the time but overall wasn't a huge loss even tho he was a decent player. 6) Stevie May's contract was held up by Rowan Vine being a t***. May punted Vine anyway and Saints got their man. This also kinda cancels out point one as we got the cash then got the player back. 7) Wallace Duffy has played about 15 times since joining Inverness. He has been no real loss. 8) I have never seen any solid evidence to show that Wright was sacked (see my last post from the Record article). "Off the record" claims can be little more than Chinese whispers. 9) Thanks to Brexit, work permits are a massive bugger for all professions. 10) "£1-£1.2mill with add-ons. Adds-ons take figure to £2m before sell on fees." Which is more than £1.75 million! Ali made it clear he wanted to leave. 11) Yes, loans are not ideal, but we have cover. We got a new midfielder because we just sold one plus Craig and Davidson have a combined age of 67. Striker is now here and training and we still have other defenders that are experienced. We can also still sign free agents outwith the window 12) Yes, and so will every other club. I'd hazard a guess here tho that now we have money from the sales of Kerr and McCann and the dust has settled on Europe and we can get fans back in bringing in much needed ££, Brown and Callum can start looking at budgets to get players on new deals. Steve Brown ain't no saint (pun fully intended!) and yes, not everything is perfect. I do think McCann could have gone for more. But we always balance the books, we still don't know what fun and game swill be thrown up by Covid, having has 1.5 years now without fans and I'd far rather have him and Roddy than Charles Green, Craig White, the Kelly Family, The Marrs, Di Stefano, Romanov or any of the other idiots that have ruined clubs in Scotland over the years.
