My mums care home let us know last week that for the first time they have had 5 confirmed cases and have lost 3 residents, it came in they think from agency staff.
I take issue with your last couple of sentences, why do you think it’s people like me ? I follow all the protocol in a COVID safe way... my employer has asked me to work my customers want me to fix their machines. I suppose I can refuse get sacked and hide in doors till it blows over ??
Do we stop me going to work as a service engineer? Because I have worked all the way through and I meet shit loads of people in my job and have never been tested. We have to learn to except this virus and while waiting for a vaccine be as carful as you can but try as best to keep normal life...
Yes they do, it’s not uncommon to hear of a team losing 3 or 4 players to illness.
Can’t remember exactly but did Sunderland not turn up a few years ago because of illness in the camp ? The lost the points and got relegated by a point or something.
I can also remember a goal keeping coach aged...
The latest round of Premier League coronavirus testing found 18 people had the virus - the highest figure recorded in the league's testing programme.
That figure surpassed the previous highest figure recorded - 16 for 9-15 November - though the percentage of positive cases was lower.
The 18...
I went back to listening to test matches on the wireless a few years ago then watching the highlights later.
There is something about listening to cricket on the old crystal set that’s more pleasurable for some reason.
Mind you nothing beats watching live.
When I was a young punk rocker it was said my bleached blonde spikes and snarl had more than a passing resemblance :)

I am more of a cricket fan TBH. I am likely to be found either at Hove, Arundel, the oval and a couple of times a year Lords.... i can watch cricket, listen to cricket read about cricket I can’t say football holds me in such a way!
Footballs just a habit something I’ve done since 1972 with my...
Are they actually for real or just creaming the advertisement cash.
I mean throwing things around when conceding a goal is OK now and again, but every time? (Fxxk me after saturday's game my front room would have looked like a disaster zone :) )
As an example... I service equipment for companies including medical companies.
In April a health care company called because they needed a repair and some equipment calibrated.
So I had to order parts from our service department who then sent the store person into the warehouse who had to...

It’s a weird feeling, because I can’t invest my time and money going to watch like normal I just shrugged my shoulders when I saw the score.... mind you I had forgotten the game was on and only tuned in at 3 !,
Looking at the very sad numbers of deaths reported today has me thinking.
232 reported by NHS uk but the bbc report 506 ?. Are we saying that 250 odd people were so ill of the virus but died at home and did not go to the hospital? I just don’t get that if I am honest even a care home that had...
I have no doubt all of that is true, although hiding away from normal coughs and colds might come back to bite us...But listening to the wireless (auntie beeb not some right wing talk show) and a Dr did say that the average age of death from Covid is 82.4 and the average age of death for all...
