    What will be your daily routine be in isolation ?

    I had this for 6 weeks last year after a stem cell transplant which decimated my immune system. If you are feeling well enough make sure that you do something active like stationary biking, gardening... anything to stop you sitting around all day. Have a routine to break the day up, fine to...

    [Drinking] What did you drink when you first hit the pub

    I think I started with Ben Truman and it would have been around 1975. Seem to remember it being 20-25p a pint.

    [Football] Going to the Game Saturday or Staying away because of Corona Virus?

    I am still travelling on the tube and delivering training etc at work and I think these activities are riskier than sitting in a crowd in an open air venue, so I'm still going on Saturday. If I get any symptoms I will immediately self-isolate.

    Main Coronavirus / Covid-19 Discussion Thread

    I agree that panic buying in the UK is insane but Italy presents a picture of how bad this could get and just dismissing it as media hysteria is slightly delusional. We need to get to the bottom of why it is so bad in Italy, Iran and China and then maybe we can rationally assess what the...

    Happy memories of a trip to Tokyo a few years ago. Turn up the pressure and let it do all the work.

    [Music] What is the most that would you pay for a concert ticket

    Recently paid £75 x 2 (me and my daughter) to see Kraftwerk in Victoria Park in May this year. The overall lineup made it look like money well spent: Iggy Pop, Johnny Marr, Kim Gordon, The Orb, Anna Calvi, Grandmaster Flash. Almost looked a history of popular music in one day.

    [Misc] Ben's Grandad Has Passed Away

    Really sad news. I rarely agreed with what he said but to his great credit he always came back for more. Such a range of views and personalities is what makes this forum so interesting and why I value it so much. The one that binds us all above anything else is our love of the Albion and BG...

    [Music] Cover versions that should never have seen the light of day

    Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris' version is subtle and exquisite and then we have this assault on the ears

    [News] Storm Ciara

    Looking forward to taking off from Heathrow tomorrow morning. I notice though that other websites like Weather.com and Weather Underground have forecasts which are not as extreme as the Met Office.

    [Politics] MEN. Stop talking about sport at work. NOW.

    Continually talking about topics which exclude some people isn't sexism just poor manners. I talk to people in my team about all sorts of subjects including football.

    [Football] Time for the British Library to be disbanded?

    Although I don't work in the department that does web archiving I do work at the British Library. It does a sweep of all of the UK web domain which means they take periodic snapshots of the websites for future researchers to view. As in this case they seek permission of from some website...

    [Politics] Are you a so called working class Conservative ?

    As an incurable cancer patient I have had brilliant treatment but my life expectancy would be increased by access to maintenance drugs that are viewed as too expensive. This is not because of too many Romanians using the service, who the fxxk do people think has been providing the care, but...

    [TV] Derek Acorah RIP.

    Fair enough, we will have to agree to disagree. My point was that agnosticism is about knowledge and atheism is about belief and that these are completely different things. I used to call myself an agnostic, usually to try and end the conversation, until I realised that it isn't a scale that...

    [News] Top Iranian military commander killed by air strikes

    It will strike the right emotional note and keeps the story simple which is all that is needed these days. The distinction between the 2 will be lost on most Americans as it would be lost on the majority of people in the UK.

    [TV] Derek Acorah RIP.

    As an atheist, who is respectful of other people’s beliefs, I would challenge your definition of atheist. Atheists do not say that they know there is no god they say that they have no reason to believe that there is. The key thing here is belief and not knowledge. The most ardent follower of...

    [Football] Right then. After that demonstration... VAR? Yes or No?

    At last something that can unite the country. We all hate VAR.

    [Misc] It doesn’t really matter, does it?

    Sounds like you are having a really rough time. This is a really scary stage as you are waiting to know what the treatment will be but I hope that when a plan is agreed you will be able to settle into a routine. I totally understand how she feels about leaving the ward. I couldn't wait to get...
