    [Football] Euros 2024 - Round of 16 (England vs Slovakia & Spain vs Georgia)

    Well, I've been entertained - by the Rock Choir at Guilfest :D

    No local parkrun for me this weekend as Guilfest has returned to Stoke Park after an absence of ten years. Fortunately my Garmin seems to have me on a break from long runs this weekend, and had me doing a progression run instead. The easy part was easy enough, but I was about 15/20 seconds per...

    [Politics] Julian Assange

    While the documents may well be still available to read for those who are interested, let's not perpetuate the myth that he has ever been locked up for releasing them. Locked up for skipping bail, yes; detained pending extradition, on account of having previous for skipping bail, yes.

    [Politics] General Election 2024 - 4th July

    Mostly Liberal Democrat bumph through the door here in leafy Guildford, even got canvassed by them too. Nothing else from the other parties apart from one flyer from the encumbant Conservative MP.

    Well done, I'm relieved to say I did not. :D

    [Politics] Julian Assange

    He was only imprisoned in this country because he failed to comply with his bail conditions pending extradition to Sweden by hiding in the Ecuadorian Embassy. https://www.cps.gov.uk/cps/news/uk-julian-assange-extradition-case-concludes

    [Football] Heading and brain damage

    Well, that is where the research is needed, but basic physics would indicate you are less likely to sustain a concussion due to the direction of travel of your head (and it's contents) being maintained past the point of contact. Your brain is still going to get rattled to a lesser degree, but...

    [News] Vaccination crisis

    Absolutely not. My kids ended up having one dose each, we didn't bother with the second - they've been fine, I've had COVID twice, but not been killed by it thanks to being fully vaccinated.

    [Football] Heading and brain damage

    This is precisely why you are taught to head through the ball rather than just let it hit you.

    [Football] Euros 2024 - Matchday 12 (Netherlands vs Austria, France vs Poland, England vs Slovenia & Denmark vs Serbia)

    The fact that that was England's best performance in a piss-poor group shows how low the bar has been set. I was more than a little concerned by the panicked reaction of Guehi the one time he was actually required to defend. Let's hope he is more composed against teams that are more aggressive...

    [Football] Euros 2024 - Matchday 12 (Netherlands vs Austria, France vs Poland, England vs Slovenia & Denmark vs Serbia)

    Doubtful, though it is difficult to tell whether the England defence are up to much given that they've had nothing to do so far.

    [Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

    The Amex, and the training ground at Lancing, was funded by interest free, unsecured, loans. Some of that loan was recently repaid. I don't know where this idea of a 'gift' has come from.

    No including them too, the Celts pushed the native Pict population out of Scotland.

    [Football] Heading and brain damage

    It needs a lot more research, and not just with former professional players but amateur ones too. Professional players are most likely exposed to a greater amount of impacts due to their playing and training schedules, but they are also a far smaller cohort within the total population of...

    [Football] Heading and brain damage

    There is already a ban on the training of heading in the younger age groups, and in my experience that translates to very few headers in actual matches.

    [News] Just Stop Oil

    Cost will always be the key driver of change, if it becomes cheaper to produce energy with less emissions then that is what will happen.
