This is all being done very quickly and decisions being taken locally and at short notice, so there are going to be a lot of inconsistencies and decisions that would have been made differently if it was planned out years in advance. Check carefully of course, but I certainly wouldn't assume it's...

Quoting myself from start of January. This was always a 'best case' scenario - but still seems on track so far :)

Someone correct me if I am wrong - but from my reading of that thread, probably the most important point is that the UK (Kent) variant is 'outcompeting' the South African variant. So the South Africant strain is unlikely to become dominant in the UK. Since the vaccines we are using are very...

Zoe App continues to show a steady drop of 1000+ cases per day nationally.Now down to 18,000 cases per day (from 70,000 at the start of January) . And cases in the South East showing the same rate of decline. At this rate we will see cases dropping below 10,000 per day by mid February - as we...

I like him a LOT more now

OP asks a serious question and all he gets is a load of fish puns. It's pathetic. Anyway, don't worry Cowfold Seagull, I am sure eel be back soon.

Absolutely, don't get me wrong - I'm delighted you got vaccinated - under those circumstances it's exactly the right thing to have happened. A sign of how things are being managed flexibly and pragmatically. I just wanted to be careful to manage other people's expectations.

This is undoubtedly good news, and very pleased for you. However, a note of caution for others. I believe that this situation would have been relatively exceptional - being (i'd guess) at the end of a 'Pfizer day' when there is a determination not to waste any doses. After coming out of deep...

Warning! Having bought the £25 montly pass (thinking ahead to other games) it's now telling me I need to upgrade to watch the brighton game. Edit - it looks like I may need to wait for my subscription to start. Not sure.

Interesting blog in the BMJ In essence, people are stickimg to the rules much better than most of us assume! https://blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2021/01/07/pandemic-fatigue-how-adherence-to-covid-19-regulations-has-been-misrepresented-and-why-it-matters/?utm_source=pocket-newtab-global-en-GB

This has been by far the most reliable indicator of trends since last March. And showing a very steady downward trend now, with no obvious reasons why that trend should do anything other than continue, as effects of lockdown + vaccine kick in, followed by spring. Keep it going another 4-6 weeks...

One of my all time favorite pieces of comedy dialogue, from 'Spaced' series 1 episode 3: Daisy: Right, I’m going to the shops. D’you want anything? Tim: Porn. Daisy: Tim, I’m not going to buy you porn. You can get it from railway sidings like everybody else. Tim: I can’t, I’m an adult. I’m...

FFS Maupay. Total dive. Hate that. And missed a good chance in the process.

Interesting point relayed to me from someone directly involved in giving vaccinations. At this stage most of those receiving the jab are very elderly and/or have restricted mobility etc. This makes the process much slower, as it takes, on average, quite a while to move each person through the...

OK, but apart from the throw in, the corners and the free kicks. What has Solly March ever done for us?

10 good games, one below par and apparently that is a reminder he's shite at this level? Nope. It's a reminder that even the best players have off days is what it is. And he wasn't even that bad tonight, apart from the corners.

Was also my exact reaction Going to be interesting

This is not the thread, and probably not the forum, for a debate on South African land rights. But if you think that what may (or may not) have happened in 11th century is equivalent to the 1913 Native Land Act, and it's present day impact, then I think we can safely agree to disagree.

You mean, originally?

More significamt I imagine would be how quickly and how easily it could be administered. For poorer countries especially, this could make a very big difference, although there is clearly a lot more proving of the pudding to be done to know if it really works!
