Trend in both government and Zoe app figures now definitely upward, but not dramatic and expected/inevitable (for most of us anyway) after the final stage of opening up. Hopefully any rise will stay reasonably gentle and shouldn't cause a major problem or change in terms of restrictions, given...

I'm pretty cautious, and you can't dismiss any new variant threat lightly, but 'more resistant' can mean just a little bit less likely to stop you catching it, but still effective and still massively improving utcomes if you do catch it. So far where we've seen variants being 'more resistant'...

Squash is a genuine mystery. I have zero interest but it seems to be far more suitable than 75% of sports that ARE in the olympics.

This might be a subject for a seperate thread, but if anyone could come up with a practical and realistic proposal to make the companies pay when their disposable packaging is dumped in our hedgerows I'd be up for a campaign. I just can't quite see how it can be done. It seems to me that around...

Naive but well meaning protesters vs hairy homophobe with anger management issues. Oh well. Doesn't change the fact that McDonalds is an exploitative, tax dodging, global multinational making a fortune from marketing unhealthy, fat laden crap to children.

Called it!

Some of the methods of investigation are sort of scientific, and its certainly extremely far-fetched. But I am still not sure I'd call Death in Paradise 'sci-fi'?

Good call that, he's been written out of next series of Bridgerton I believe. I have no interest in Dr Who and I'm pretty much straight. But would still have ME watching!

Yeah, but medals aren't everything. Look at all those wotking class council estate kids that have been inspired to pick up a scull and pair of oars, join a rowing 8 and get out on the Thames instead of sitting around playing video games and being drawn into a life of drug dealing and knife crime.

I haven't done any reading, so hoping someone will either do it for me, or already knows. Does the amount of funding that a sport gets only relate to success in terms of medals? Or is there a measurement of how much participation is increased, and how wide across society that participation is...

I like the idea of mixed relays. Nice to reward investment across both women and mens teams. Also going to see a mixed triathlon relay (Friday night? Saturday?) for the first time. Which is great as a spectator event, great in terms of the opportunity to show overall depth in the sport and...

Since your main question has been fairly well answered, both here and on other threads, I'll leave that and ask you a question in return. If you think (and I agree) that we owe the people of Hong Kong a debt, would you not say the same about people from other countries which Britain invaded...

Like others I think there is a good point being made here in terms of the problem. I am not a prude about porn for adults. Fill your boots (if boot filling is your thing). But it horrifies me to think that increasingly young children are 'learning' about sex through easy access to hard core...

'Nobody knows... except that I think I do' Not sure if you've done any background reading, but if you have you'll understand that whie we may not 'know', there's not exactly any shortage of reasons to believe what she says. Not least the fact that it would have been far far easier (avoiding...

I'll be honest, my very first reaction was a cynical one of 'sulking because she's not doing well' Then I took the time to listen further and think about it properly. And changed my mind completely. If she had pulled out because of a physical injury, no questions would be asked. In some ways...

Most shops are politely requesting that you wear a mask for 'the benefit of staff and other customers' For most people wearing a mask in shops/public transport is a very minor thing to do, especially as we are all used to it now, so when asked politely, we'll do it. You seem to hate it, for...

We aren't going to win this on here, where Corbyn is the anti-christ and you can ONLY ever be 100% for or 100% against Brexit. But nice to know at least there are two of us.

I 100% agree with you that Corbyn should have stuck to his guns if he was going to have any chance of winning. But I genuinely don't think he ever had the option. There are multiple reasons why, once the vote had happened, Labour needed to commit to Brexit and make sure that what we got was a...

We are getting way off the original topic, on which I suspect there is far greater agreement than on this side issue we have been drawn into. But I know you are a man that likes to see evidence, so I'll leave you with this (specifically the statement and transcript from Carne Ross) to consider...
