I hope you feel better soon. I had to spend around four hours in an urgent treatment centre yesterday and in that time two people came in saying they kept coughing until they were sick. Said to my wife in the evening that I wondered if that was covid or something else. Nasty either way.

It's a good number though not one I think can be used to compare him to others. I'm not a Southgate hater but he's also managed about 30% more tournament games than any other England manager. He can only compete against the teams he's drawn against but I'm not sure quality of opposition in...

I had to be in Central London last night due to something planned nearly a year ago. Mostly it was good humoured boisterousness around, though parts of Leicester Square were already like little vignettes of Gin Alley by 5pm with all the people too young or too drunk (or both) to get in pubs. In...

That's an oddly one sided view of things. The shooter has already been identified as a registered Republican, but despite that there are public calls from Trump supporters online for actual armed force and revenge against Democrats. I read a college student this morning offering to leave college...

A lot more than 20 years. My American friends, some of whom are Republicans, see a Trump victory as "the end of the American experiment".

I don't think it's anything to do with social media. The Kennedy assassination had alternative explanations questioning the official line within days (whether conspiracy theory or not). Lincoln's did too. I agree it's concerning to see though: the actions of Trump and others over the last decade...

I read something this morning that said there was ambiguity over his role. If he was being charged as Producer of the film his accountability is considered high, if as an actor it's virtually non-existent. Turns out it was the latter, or his defence argued his role in this accident was the...

Does he have any attendance points from home cup games? If not it might be worth checking you can get him a ticket - I tried to take Mini Exile to her first away game a couple of seasons ago and couldn't get her a ticket because all her attendance at cup games had been as my STH guest and...

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the advice and will have a look at North Star

Might be the best way I guess, thank you

I need to buy a new (used) car and not being a car person I'm approaching it with dread. The last car I got a couple of years ago was from a well established and apparently successful dealership and was so stressful it ruined a Christmas for Mrs Exile and ended only when we started to explore...

If that's the shirt then I quite like it

One of their claims was that the cost of non-existent machines (that they invented a need for) would take money away from the NHS, and specifically treatment for premature babies. Unsurprisingly the No to AV campaign had a lot of the same people involved as the pro-Brexit campaign. Also...

Yes - in 2019 the Lib Dems lost a seat despite increasing their vote share by more than 4%. This time they've gained a huge number of seats with just a 0.5% increase.

It will indeed. It's interesting that despite multiples more exposure, airtime, money and resources than the Greens Farage and co have only managed to match them on number of seats. Total vote is higher but that doesn't take into account tactical voting taking Green voters to Lib Dem and Labour...

Half a dozen there the same time as me in Lewes around 8am this morning, no-one queuing when I left.

While in many respects this would be amazing, the worry is so few seats for the Tories that we see a Tory/Reform coalition led by Braverman and Farage as their way of resetting to be electable. That's a scenario a moderate Tory councillor spoke with me about as a concern of many in the party if...

Over 100 but fewer then 120.

This has a bit more - I don't know enough about the mechanisms of house building but it does look like the government promised to fund (possibly indirectly) 200,000 new homes but never legislated to make it happen...
