Steady, gents, steady. I'd confidently challenge anyone here to a 'who hates Wasps the most' competition, but this all feels unnecessarily personal. Could we just back to hammering the stripy bastards for the obvious crap they've pulled and let the other stuff go for a bit maybe? I can't see...

A word on OSB. I don't know if he's been to Wasps or not, but who here hasn't done something they're embarrassed about at some point in in their life. :) Even if he had, or does, it doesn't diminish him or his opinions in my book. We don't always agree but he makes his points from a position of...

It still looks to me like a slow motion train wreck. Covid has obviously hammered them, like a lot of other businesses, but the bond means that they are hugely over-leveraged imho. The point of the bond, as I recall, was to make Wasps the richest club in Europe. It was a gamble on making them...

Absolutely fair point. I've never done it, and likely never will, but I'm guessing you don't have to go too far into the jungle to never be able to find your way out. A bit like an IKEA store, or supporting City! :)

Good story. Probably a completely daft question, but wouldn't it have made more sense to just stay at the side of the trail until daylight? My bike broke down in the Cotswolds once, in the middle of a wintry night. I took shelter in the men's bogs in Broadway, running the hand dryer every now...

I wish her no ill personally, there are probably bigger concerns about democracy in this country than her role in it. However, it isn't quite right to think that the Crown's role is purely ceremonial. There's quite a long history of interference/lobbying that isn't appropriate for a...

Worth a punt, there was obviously a good player in there somewhere. I can't wish the bloke ill, I doubt he's taken us for millions. I hope he gets himself sorted out and makes a life for himself even if it's not in football. He might well be better off outside the pressures of the game, who knows.

Bleak reading, some parts of this thread. The last thing we need is pissed-up/coked-up dickheads being egged on or justified by our own supporters. Let's be clear here, the people involved in this shouldn't be encouraged in any way. They're just wrecking the day for the rest of us who want to...

Because you know you're talking bollocks, so you've bottled it. There is no evidence whatsoever for your utter bullshit. Fuck off and troll on Facebook, loser, I've just shown you for what you are.

I'm not quite sure where you're going with this. Is there a suggestion that because we're testing more it's somehow influencing the number of people getting ill and/or dying from Covid? That seems illogical. Here are the figures for people dying of Covid in the last seven days (I've gone for...

What's bollocks is your complete ignorance. Try reading it again... here's the magic phrase that shoots down your ludicrous comparison to flu... The death rate among COVID-19 patients was 18.5%, while it was 5.3% for those with the flu. Those with COVID were nearly five times more likely to...

No it really isn't. You are absolutely and completely making shit up, presumably because you don't want to suffer any personal inconvenience. https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20201218/covid-19-is-far-more-lethal-damaging-than-flu-data-shows Who's the real baby here? There are some people whose...

It's funny isn't it. If you're going to vote Brexit to make the country a better, stronger place that "stands in the world on its own two feet", "British jobs for British people", etc. etc., then I'd have thought food security and keeping our farmers and fishermen employed would be fairly key...

1. Until now I didn't see you stepping up to complain about the 'kitchen' jokes. So unless I missed it you didn't say anything until the joke was turned back on men. Interesting that. In my book, if you walk by it, you stand by it. 2. Two pithy comments don't even start to address the issue...

Good point, but it might be a bit ambitious for them *all* to chip in tonight. I'm listening on the radio, but will be happy to offer my unvarnished opinions regardless. :)

A fair point, but look at it this way. As a white, middle aged dad, the stereotype which gets a few laughs is that of an overweight, bumbling, clumsy buffoon with no culture and who can't be trusted around fragile objects or alcohol. It doesn't help that I fit that stereotype rather neatly, but...

It is. I suspect every culture has its 'Irish' jokes. That doesn't make it right though. I don't think Irish jokes hold as much power now as they did over here because it's widely known that those of Irish descent are obviously better educated and better looking than most of the locals. :)...

Interesting point this. I'm not saying you're wrong, but there are kind of two aspects to this joke... The first is it's a reversal of an old saying, "The quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach". We're back on women cooking with that one, and there's no equivalent saying for...

Which brings to mind a great retort from Jo Brand... "The quickest way to a man's heart is straight through his chest with a carving knife."

It just doesn't fit in with Boris's boosterism, Torchy. It's a simple as that imho. He can't bear a bad news story unless it's something he can blame on someone else. There's never been a PM (or cabinet) less fit for office. We may or may not have to learn to live with Covid, but there's no...
