The Asian and Middle Eastern carriers do generally offer a higher level of service with greater comfort and better catering . In particular their short haul fleets (excluding low cost carriers) offer substantially better service and comfort than short haul in Europe, Americas and Africa where you now normally have to purchase food in economy class and business class seat is same as economy but with middle seat kept vacant. The short haul experience drags down the rating for European, American and African carriers

Actually there are 18 rivers traversing Lodz totalling 123.9 km and it was very much a city on the water until it developed and the rivers were buried underground.

There doesn’t appear to be much knowledge or common sense in the Department_Of_Agriculture. It appears to be a “shitty, shoddy” Department that “cannot be trusted” and jumps to premature conclusions based on its racist prejudices.

Latintopxx must be disappointed that pony riding hasn’t been brought in as an Olympic event. He’d quite fancy his chances for a gold medal.

The skill involved in dressage and show jumping is enormous. I’m not into either sport but the highlights I saw of the dressage in particular were amazing. For sportsmen and women in this field, the olympics is so important and it would a great shame if they were dropped. Moving horses internationally is not that difficult and is a necessity of international competition including horse racing. The bicyclists need to take their bicycles, the sailors their dinghies, the rowers their boats and the equestrians need their horses. I’m in favour of javelin and shot put too. Quite a skill to see how far things can be thrown. Great to see new records being broken for fastest sprint, highest and longest jump, furthest throw etc. These simple sports are at the very heart of the Olympics.

What has the definition of monorail got to do with Quarantine Free Travel in July? This thread has gone off the rail.

Herd immunity doesn’t require 100% of people to be immune. Needs to be enough for virus not to be able to transmit exponentially. I’m no expert but have read that it may be around 70% to 80% for covid.
