    [Politics] Time for Parliamentary change ?

    I would love to see the whole apparatus moved to a city in the North or Midlands. I suspect that JRM and his friends would develop a new enthusiasm for online voting should this happen. The only reason that I could see the Tories supporting this would be to hang on to their new northern seats.

    [TV] Your favourite Western films and tv series

    I remember The Virginian. One episode was all about rabies and it scared the life out of me as an impressionable child.

    [Film] In Praise of Michael Caine

    I met him when I was 7 on the set of the Billion Dollar Brain. Not one of his best but still worth a watch.

    [Politics] Universal Basic Income anyone?

    The devil would be in the detail but I am generally in favour. It will enable people that want to carry out charitable and caring work to commit to this and for people who want to start their own small businesses to take calculated risks. Currently the time that claimants spend going through...

    [Albion] When will we, and when should we next play at the Amex in front of a full house?

    My rough guess would be around Jan 2021. The rate of infection may drop to very low levels by the autumn this year but they will be wary of a new wave of infections in the winter and will wait and see if that occurs.

    [Food] Colindale KFC.

    About 20 years ago I used to manage the imaging and microfilming teams at the Library in Colindale. You should now be able to get access to the archives at the Library in St Pancras, or at least you will when it re-opens at some point when the Covid.crisis eases.

    Awful news that made me shed a tear today. Definitely one of my all-time favourite Albion players.

    [News] The UK’s “Three Stage” Exit Strategy To Ease The Coronavirus Lockdown

    I'm in the 1.5 million group as well due to an underlying condition and I don't expect life to return to normal for me for a long time but, I would hope at some point this year, I would expect to be able to make calculated decisions on low risk things I can do outside and measures I can take to...

    [News] Close supermarkets on Sundays?

    I remember the sinking feeling when you tuned in expecting The Big Match maybe with Peters, Osgood, George or Bowles to find that it was going to be Southern Soccer with Hiron and Milkins. To be followed by Bernie the Bolt and God. Those afternoons seemed to last forever.

    [News] The Coronavirus Good News thread

    As one of the 1.5 million I am resigned to this being a long and slow business. Being a member of this club is helpful in getting delivery slots but it does have a darker meaning when it comes to clinical decisions.

    [Football] Liverpool are the next club to announce furloughing non playing staff.

    The principle is the same. Tough decision to make but I would have to consider whether I could stomach paying for a season ticket anymore if we did this. My money could be much better directed elsewhere.

    [Football] Liverpool are the next club to announce furloughing non playing staff.

    Looking like it's non-league football for me from now on the way it's going. Fxxk the lot of them this was obviously not what OUR money was meant to be spent on.

    [Drinking] How's your drinking ?

    Not excessively more but a bit, usually in response to watching the news. I have got 11 more weeks of this, at least, so I have to get into a routine which is a bit healthier.

    [Misc] Will you Grow your Hair Out or Will You Do it Yourself?

    Clippers delivered by Amazon this morning. I have to isolate for 12 weeks so it seemed the only option unless I have to go back on chemo which would sort it.

    [Finance] Self employed to receive 80% of income from the Gov’t too

    Heartbreaking... especially at a time when people are relying on the health services their actions have helped to starve of funds.
