Not bad. But 'Karen Brady and the Dildo Brothers' would be better imo

The thing I keep wondering is how many times was he told 'you are too small to make it as a professional'? I'm guessing more than once. Glad he didn't listen.

Don't really get all the dislike for Bournemouth. Happy for them to stay up. Eddie Howe is a good young manager, plus they could be one of the easier teams to stay above next season. I actively like Watford, and I think they have what it takes. Norwich are gone, and I don't care too much one way...

It's definitely not the same as the real thing. But I have been enjoying it considerably more than I expected. Especially our match. It's nice to have something to worry about that doesn't matter.

When I say I am 'happier' on other forms of transport, it's not a fear of flying. More an expression that i actively enjoy a train ride through beautiful scenery, the sensation of riding a bike or waking up on a ferry, crusing past sun soaked Aegean islands. And I am never, ever, more relaxed...

Not THAT bloody high.

Yup, been decreasing flying for holidays gradually in recent years. If it was just me I doubt I'd fly at all, or only very rarely, as I'm far happier on a train/ferry/bike, and like to see the travel as part of the holiday rather than having two days (or more) of pain-in-the-arse hassle (whilst...

Indeed. Apparently Leno 'proved' Maupay assaulted him by...errr...pointing at him.

I'm suggesting they do hold up (potentially) to scrutiny, geven the reasons I have suggested: Spread being much slower if starting from a single infection point, in a society where people tend to stay more local and with an utterly ruthless lockdown by a government willing and capable to enforce...

I am sure China's official numbers are lower than the reality, as with many countries for various reasons. But I am puzzled by the absolute certainty, here and elsewhere, that they are so far out. The main reason we don't like China is that it is a powerful authoritaran state that exerts...

Too many if's and but's to be sure of course. If there is anything we have learnt to predict in the last few months it is that the future is unpredictable. Any kind of significant second wave and we won't be back in the stadium this side of 2021. But I can also see more than one scenario where...

Covid symptom study estimated rate of new infections updated yesterday for the period 31st May to 13th June. shows 26% reduction over that period (during which a fair amount of activity in terms of opening up) for all UK and 25%for England. Down from 4,900 to 3,612. As I have said before I think...

Was going to post the same as the OP myself this morning. A plea to get on and create the snake pit/septic tank ASAP. I used to value NSC as a place for political discussions, especially as a way to get out of my bubble and listen to views I don't normally hear, even if I don't agree with them...

Yeah, we'd like to think that paying more for stuff provides longer lasting quality and that some of the additional cost finds it's way back down the supply chain. But in reality I suspect most of the additional price paid goes into the pockets of the marketing consultants that companies use to...

Probably one for another thread. But my take is that, with between somewhere in the region of 5,000 new cases daily (who knows exactly what the reality is), we are at point where level of risks are low enough for us to feel individually pretty secure going out and about, especially if we are...

Ah, got it from a second hand source. Anyway, I don't think (as said elsewhere) these figures are prticularly meaningful beyond the long term trend. Too many variables.

Except that, with a little bit more care for a little bit longer maybe we could get the virus to an even lower level, and that would then make it a lot easier to keep at very low levels, especially over winter, making it possible for vulnerable people to also begin to enjoy a bit of freedom at...

Also reported new cases dipping below 1,000 for first time since late March

Prince Andrew may have some answers to that particular mystery.

Very good interview that. Nice format, easy style. I was a huge Ashley Barnes fan. I really appreciated his work rate and attitude, and (as he went on to prove), he was a natural goalscorer when given the chance. Been happy to see him do so well and just wish he could have stayed and done it...
