    Power and control are too elements they share, yes. They're not closely comparable.

    Contact Tracing App

    A better way to look at it would be to ask what they won't try to do. This is the Vote Leave bods we're talking about. As for the comparison between this and Google...monetisation and surveillance are very different. People really shouldn't download it or encourage anyone else to. There's...

    [News] The Coronavirus Good News thread

    Aye. And some companies that had no home working policy or IT infrastructure to allow home working have now created those. Hopefully that will mean more time at home, less hours of travelling to empty offices and brief meetings.

    [Football] Salomon Kalou's brilliant wallraffing threatens Bundesliga restart

    Yeah, I wondered if it was a Duffy-style intentional suspension. Kalou's already said he doesn't want to play. Could be a more selfish thing if they can't dock his pay while he's suspended, though. Cos if Bundesliga clubs really are at risk of going bankrupt, that might not be too useful for...

    [Music] Oasis, Noel and Liam

    East Wing ahoy. Scene of many terrible gigs and a few good ones. Think this might also have been the day they did the tellies and deckchairs shoot by the pier. Liam's voice was summat here. Would have been good if they'd just stuck to being a little punk band (Fade Away) and done more of the...

    [Football] What would you do about this season?

    Some of the Dutch divisions have mathematically dizzying arrangements where the season is divided into quarters and the winners of each quarter enter the play-offs etc. Could be a bit of that to it now that everyone's aware that a new version of the part-apocalypse could arrive at any moment...

    [Football] Premier League / Football League attempts to finish the season

    The players don't seem to understand what is being proposed. The PL will continue if players test positive. They will replace whatever they are perceived to be "taking" from the NHS (ambulances, tests) several times over. It's not that implausible but they need to make the scientific reasoning...

    [Football] French league 1 abandoned

    Want to know if Toulouse are going to escape relegation. They're 17 points off safety, haven't won in 19 and have a -36 goal difference. Their president is threatening legal action if they're relegated, saying it would be an "abuse of power". They'd have needed at least six wins from their final...

    [News] Lockdown lifting - when?

    Instinctively understand why they'd pick Sheff over those...although Leeds is probably better but dun't know enough about it. Cambo might be better but everything is twice the price there...

    [News] Lockdown lifting - when?

    That is exactly what I imagined happening in those kinds of areas over the last couple of weeks. The pubs out there are pretty intrinsic to the localities. I've got a mate who's a cartoonist in Sheff and he'd been drafting some stories along those lines. That pub looks like the archetype of...

    [Football] Kitson v Taylor

    For anyone continuing to be baffled by the thread, wondering if it's Daniel 'Goodbye Forever' Kitson vs Phil 'The Power' Taylor etc etc, here's the story... One of British football’s brightest former players, David Kitson, today launches a campaign to overhaul the Professional Footballers’...

    [News] The Coronavirus Good News thread

    All a bit coulds and claims, that one. Accuracy is more likely to be 90% if prevalence is low, and it costs £110ish, requires a blood draw and might detect other types of coronavirus a person has previously had. But definitely closer to being able to accurately test than before...

    [Football] Premier League / Football League attempts to finish the season

    Almost certainly comes down to money, which no-one minds paying cos fulfilling the surrounding contracts is so lucrative. They're proposing to test everyone who enters and leaves training grounds, so matches might be relatively straightforward. In Germany, they've said football will account for...

    [Football] French league 1 abandoned

    I didn't know that about the tests. But if they were accurate, wouldn't the basis of the FIFA guy's argument be wrong? Wonder how much influence his words will have when the decision is made in Germany on Thursday. I guess everyone is quietly hoping permission will be granted and the Bundesliga...
