I'm a compulsive handshaker.
I had a couple of business meetings just as this was all kicking off, and they were with people i had never met. As we had already moved away from handshakes, it was sort of weird, no one really knew how to end the meeting. It usually ended up with the host awkwardly looking at their watch, and saying the needed to be somewhere else, and walking off.
Try Jazz Hands instead.
sorted now, but in March....

@mariner4life I'm an advocate for the handshake. Tells you heaps about the bloke in front of you.
The Thais and Buddhists have the best post COVID greeting gesture🙏

@MajorRage Just drop a loud fart. They’ll clear you out of there in no time. For added fun blame your wife.
That's what I do!
Naaah I don't know his wife.

Well the other night in bed she spoke very highly of you.
At least I think that’s what she said, her mouth was full.
Well, when I say “full”, I mean “not completely empty”.

@JC when she said she loved bones, she meant more than one at once, not the poster.
You still have that poster of me? Still waiting on payment for that.

Another article on excess deaths, this time from bbc.
Adds some more locations not being tracked by the FT and The Economist.
South Africa, Peru and South Africa are amazing. SA for the opposite reason! Also looking at 2 cities in Russia and 6 cities in Brazil. Which not covered by other excess deaths tracking articles.

Interesting, thanks, @Rapido . Would be VERY interesting to compare Northern Ireland and the Republic.

What does a handshake tell you?

What does a handshake tell you?
The first thing a handshake tells you about the man in front of you, is whether the man in front of you is dumb enough to give a shit about handshakes.
After that, it's just flavours of chump. -

What does a handshake tell you?
It can tell you that the guy has taken an instant dislike to you and wants to crush you. Which I believe @Hooroo has done to several people on here. I've never met him by the way.

That is not fair! I object. I have a firm but not crushing handshake. My step father has a crushing handshake but he is oblivious of it so you have to get your hand in there quick or it a trip to crushed Fingersville. He has massive hands though.
I have done the crusher one to a lady by accident when I was introduced to 5 people and shooked all the guys hands first and had a mind-blank and shook her hand like the guys! I was deeply embarrassed.

I have a few clients who have iron grips, one I see all the time, bit if you expect an iron handshake it isn't so bad.

@Hooroo I'm sure that all of your victims are out of plaster and have full movement of their fingers now. All good. Not everybody on the fern is to be trusted either...
When we do get to have a beer by the way I will be following Covid rules.

I'm always keen for a beer and was gutted @voodoo and my paths couldn't quite cross during that time.
I do think we should have a fern get-together though. At an event where it is easy to access.... like a horse racing event or something
First opportunity for that type of event would be July 4th at Te Rapa where we may have two new starters..... just saying if you fern folk are about and all

It was the first date that popped into my head. Any beer day is a good day
