    [News] The Coronavirus Good News thread

    ...and a transmission rate of below 1.0 means actual decline. 0.62 means quite rapid decline. And given that the period between getting the virus and death is around 17 days the death rate should start to fall, quickly, by mid-April. Am I getting this wrong?

    [Drinking] Social distancing

    The rules do seem to be simple and clear. It's important that they are there as ultimate sanctions but it also matters that public goodwill is retained (vital) by them being enforced with good judgement and discretion. Box-ticking midlands police forces aside, they are being. On mothering...

    [Football] Disparity in earnings

    We can wring our hands all we want but top level football is international and top level footballers' pay can only be controlled internationally. The same is true in any trade where employees are recruited across borders. (One of the reasons why I support the principle of international...

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

    I'm not sure that considering ways of avoiding losing £762m can be characterised as greed.

    [Football] Will this season be completed?

    I came clean in post 100. I am sure most of us would accept that our views are coloured by expediency if asked

    [Football] Will this season be completed?

    I intentionally didn't even think about the clubs involved when pushing the promotion-but-no-relegation solution. I've little love for Leeds (although they are a big club for sure) and even less for West Brom.Now Brentford... what a lovely set up that is.

    [Football] Will this season be completed?

    I think the point being made by Bold Seagull, me and others is that ending (not voiding) the season now would allow the clubs that had at this point in time actually battled themselves into winning positions would be rewarded for their efforts. Yes, that would be unfair to chasing clubs that...

    [Football] Will this season be completed?

    Don't void the PL/EFL season (too expensive) but conclude it now, activating promotions but not relegations (would attract ferocious litigation) and adjust the excess numbers in each division at the end of season 20/21 by increasing relegation numbers. Like every solution it's not fair, but...

    [Misc] Taking your dog for a walk

    Very true about the Beacon. Tomorrow morning though I'm being dropped off there and walking to near Lewes prison with our dog. The walk of heaven. Amex visible to your right for the first half an hour, the sea twinkling, the Weald stretched out to your left and the sun in front of you the whole...

    [Finance] ******** The Scam Thread *********

    Spotify. Email headlined We're sorry to see you go followed by explanation that they couldn't take payment. They use genuine Spotify wording and conclude with an Update Details Now button. It's not genuine.
