    CCFC Supports Rainbow Laces - Why?

    I honestly had no idea he was gay, or indeed where he came from (I'm thinking reality TV rather than Mars, both seem equally possible). But blimey, he's irritating. And I'm scared having his teeth on screen for more than ten seconds will give me sunburn. 🙂

    Wasps downward spiral...

    God, where to start on the dislike of Wasps by City fans. Franchising of sport. No impact on the football team (lie). Primacy of fixtures, we'll play on Sundays (lie). No impact on Cov RFC, we'll play on Sundays (as above). We're going to build an Academy in the city bringing lots...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    They reduce transmission in the population, NW. That's broadly accepted and seems incontrovertible. They may not stop you as an individual catching Covid of course, because immunity wanes. But if you slow down transmission in the community, then your chances of catching it are of course...

    I'm all for skepticism, Christ knows we need a lot more of it, especially for people who take what they read on Twitter or Facebook as gospel. Skepticism used as a cloak for selfishness, and repeated in the face of the facts though, that I'm not so keen on. For example, I can't find anything...

    Can you post a link to something that he's published and that contains evidence that the chance of a virus mutating to become more dangerous/transmissible is minuscule, please? I've linked to actual evidence that you're mistaken in that assumption, you're asking me to wade through hours of...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    It's this sort of stuff that worries me. The chance of a virus mutating to be more deadly is certainly not minuscule. There is no evidence to support that proposition. So, I wonder, why do people say it or take it at face value. I tend to think it's often to justify a purely selfish position -...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    If I could make only one wish with regards to this thread, it's that we should not let anecdotes trump data. The point of vaccination isn't just to protect the individual, it's to protect everyone. Politely, I think there's far too much weight here given from some people towards anecdotal...

    Viruses can mutate to become either more deadly, or less deadly. At the moment I think the jury is out on the Omicron strain: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41564-020-0690-4

    I could live with that if we bring in some kind of regulation: Goals per season (excluding set piece headers): 0-5: You're in black, mate. 6-10: Dark blue, dark olive, brown. 10-15: Subdued red or orange 15-20: Yellow, white, purple. 20+: Hi Viktor, dayglo pink again? 😁

    I can live with the laces, that's for a good cause, but boots should be black, properly polished, and the makers logo should be understated. Six studs per boot, or moulded, never blades. Laces need to be on top of the boots, never on the side, and never tucked in, and there are extra form...

    CCFC Supports Rainbow Laces - Why?

    The problem is that you've chosen to wind people up and be deliberately provocative, and frankly, post rank untruths. And guess what, people have bitten. Are you saying that you've done this because you've got mental health issues? If so, I'm genuinely sorry if I've hurt your feelings, but I'd...

    Isn't this the classic story... Scribbled onto a desk at school, "My grandmother made me a homosexual!". Written underneath, "If I buy her the wool, will she make me one too?"

    And the other point here, even if in the face of all logic you still think it is a choice, what gives you the right to refuse to accept it? It's their life and their choice, not yours. P.S. It's not a choice, ok, get your head around that and you'll be on the right lines to understanding why...

    Use some critical thinking mate. At what point in your life did you sit down and say, having thought it all through, I've decided to be attracted to women? It's a pretty big decision, surely you can remember it, no?

    Selling House Privately

    I take your point entirely mate, but flip it around - if I'd have been a potential purchaser and found out that that someone had been allowed to make another 'final' offer after the estate agent had closed the book, I'd have been outraged (and raised a complaint at the very least). I'm not...

    CCFC Supports Rainbow Laces - Why?

    It's a really easy answer this. It really isn't a choice. If it was, then perhaps given all of violence and bigotry and prejudice that's gone on over the years, most people would have 'chosen' differently. Particularly the ones who killed themselves or were beaten, 'converted', or chemically...

    Selling House Privately

    I think it's something to be proud of mate. You stuck to your word and the developer missed his chance. If I'd have been the agent I wouldn't have even passed it on to you, at least unless every other party was also given a chance to reconsider and was made aware of the new, increased offer...
