No poll? if you add one please make sure there is a 'couldn't give a flying f*ck' option.

Yes there was. Can't remember what it was, but there was one.

No. Not nasty (with he possible exception of Ali J's tackle) i didn't notice it being a particularly dirty game, from either side. The City fans moaning about having 'lumps kicked out of them' are talking bollocks. I actually mentioned during the game that the referee was good at letting play...

The problem with gathering anecdotal information, eg by asking people on NSC, is that I strongly suspect that the more someone has suffered, the more likely they are to make an effort to tell others about it. Almost any approach will carry some bias, but as good a picture as there is...

Whether the final game is being shown live in its entirety is not your main problem here.

It always seems to be referred to as an insurrection, and for most of my life I accepted that, based on what I was told, by family and teachers. But (having finally been made to think about it properly) that word implies a challenge to legitimate authority. Which is not really the case. For most...

Anyone interested in gaining a more complete understanding of Britain's occupation of Kenya should read this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Britains-Gulag-Brutal-Empire-Kenya/dp/1844135489 Also, btw, nobody I ever knew in Kenya ever called it the Mau Mau 'insurrection'. I see that phrase as part of...

Maty Ryan's Arsenal dominating so far.

Yes. It would. If you are running it as a test (and it is one of quite a few different types of test event as I understand it), then make damn sure you get the best possible data from it! The possibility that you may have picked it up in the following days is of course there. But obviously...

I am very positive about where we are. But we got here through a number of measures, based on a careful, well planned process. And we need to get out through a careful and well planned process. Not by declaring it 'over' and rushing out to mingle as we please. If you think this can't still go...

God only knows what the truth of any of this is. But Cummings is doing to Johnson exactly what he did to Corbyn. Using his pet media to throw so much mud that some will stick in people's minds. So if you believed all the media hype about Corbyn, then you should be lapping this up.

Plenty of room for optimism in this country. And I hope it will stay at least as good as it is now. Like others, I am not really worried by a couple of football fans (who have been tested) not wearing masks while outside. Although I'd also say at ths stage, if rules say wear them, then wear...

Only language these people understand.

You call it creating employment opportunities. I call it exploiting the labour of workers. We disagree. Others will make their own judgement.

Nah. I don't care how it started. Any more than I care how the Glazers made their initial money. I care about how it is run now. I care about how workers are treated, tax avoided and small companies crushed. There are parallels. In the Amazon scenario though it is we, the consumers, that play...

See also statement from Amazon Prime. 'So, Mr Bezos...what is it about the concept of a greed driven, risk free, monopoly designed to make rich men even richer that you feel comfortable enough to live with just as long as it might make you more money?'

Doubt the club or players will do anything, though I'd like it if they did. But if anyone has the old bedsheet and a paintbrush out, and is thinking of heading up to stand outside Stamford Bridge tonight, can I respectfully suggest that an appropriate slogan could be: 'Legacy Fans United'...

I decided to revive this thread, and maybe bring it back from the slightly off topic, but fascinating, discussions on alien visitations (by the way - the reason that so many different ancient civilizations built pyramids is probably not because they were shown how by aliens but more likely...

It's a terrible piece of fence-sitting PR puff. But the definition of 'mealy mouthed' to me was Gary Lineker on five live earlier. I wonder if someone has had words after the reactions from the pundits on MoTD last night.

There is a big gap between 'not 100% effective' and 'what's the point' no? If it stops you catching it and spreading it 75% - 85% of the time, then a) it works and b) it's worth doing, to protect others? Also, if more people get it less severely, then there is less pressure on the NHS, and...
