    [Humour] This is genuine from my University

    And those who can't hack teaching sports science at a University go to Sweden and end up managing Brighton and Hove Albion?

    Main Coronavirus / Covid-19 Discussion Thread

    What is stopping her, and many others, that will (or won't) change on 21st June though? Personally, I remain reluctant to drink/eat at restaurants and pubs indoors. and any increase in cases makes me even less inclined. I'll stick to the beer garden for as long as I can. But that has nothing...

    Main Coronavirus / Covid-19 Discussion Thread

    Increase in numbers of cases certainly starting to accelerate quite quickly now. If that trend continues, and given we don't yet know precisely how much the vaccines will lower transmission rates, especially with the added unknown of the new variant(s) in the mix, a very rapid spread (while...

    [Humour] This is genuine from my University

    Christ yes, I knew I felt offended by something in that statement, but couldn't quite work it out. You've nailed it. Disgusting!

    [News] The Coronavirus Good News thread

    I am struggling to handle this. I so desperately don't want to gloat. I know it makes me a lesser person and brings me down to his level. And that his illness will be causing pain to many of those around him that might not share his views. But then I read some of the stuff he has said... And...

    [News] The Coronavirus Good News thread

    Always a good bit of balanced, information based, insight and always well worth watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WFckBrljsk&t=294s Yes, cases are rising, but mainly in a relatively restricted number of hotspots. Likely to be a ripple rather than a wave. Vaccinations are working...

    [Albion] Covid Passports *may* allow return to full Premier League crowds

    Glad someone said it! So important to understand the data properly before making silly comments about 'half decent' vaccines. All indications are that, once full protection is reached, AZ protection will be as good, if not better, than any other vaccine.

    [Football] Villareal v Man Utd - Apparently means a lot to Utd

    I didn't watch, or care about, this match. But am I to understand that Man Utd lost to a penalty scored after the final whistle? What a shame.

    [Politics] Dominic Cummings v H&SC and S&T select committees *Official Match Thread*

    I think you nail it when you say 'we did not need Dominic Cummings to tell us all this'. I am struggling to find anything he said that was not already well known. You can add that Carrie Symonds is a self obsessed snob and Cummungs himself is a nasty, vengeful piece of work. But again - aleady...

    [Football] Casuals: The story of the Legendary Terrace Fashion.

    Most normal, decent, people do not see 'being intimidating' as a positve character trait. The need to indimidate others, and taking pleasure in doing so, is a sign of deep rooted insecurity and a weakness. Hard as that is for some to understand.

    [News] The Coronavirus Good News thread

    Cases seem to be rising slightly I think, but only slightly and not enough to be of any real significance. And certainly not enough to be of any consequence. Case numbers may get influenced by testing regimes, so I don't think it's the most reliable indicator. Deaths wouldn't rise or fall, for...

    I scored 24 - only just below the threshold, so maybe sometimes I make jokes when I shouldn't.

    [Albion] City fans reaction

    Stop digging. You are looking more and more stupid. The most telling thing in all of this for me is the expressed outrage that somehow Brighton - the team, the manager, the fans - should have cared about Citeh's upcoming champions league match and been more careful not to tackle the little...

    [Football] Casuals: The story of the Legendary Terrace Fashion.

    I'm with Charlie Brooker on fashion. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2007/apr/30/fashion.comment 'As far as I can tell, fashion is nothing more than a handy visual system that gives people with no personality some palpable criteria to judge each other by'

    [Finance] The cryptocurrency (Bitcoin etc) thread

    Genuine question, can anyone tell me what the 'crypto ethos' actually IS all about? Apart from trying to make more money without working of course. Which seems to be the main driver.
