    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Someone didn't read the terms and conditions when they bought their season ticket 😂 If you can't get a refund for games behind closed doors you're defiantly not getting one for having to show a covid pass. Presume it will just be checks before you get to the turnstiles, same as they check...

    Work Christmas party cancelled, saves having to come up with an excuse not to go!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    This is what I find fascinating with the Conservatives. Everything we know so far indicates it wasn't specifically something organised by Johnson but they will get rid of him and move on like it never happened and nobody else in the party had anything to do with it. Yet people will happily bring...

    Downing Street hosted three parties while everyone was locked down and told they couldn't visit dying relatives: November 13 2020 Carrie/Boris flat party December 18 2020 Downing Street party Christmas Quiz (date unclear) Seems that the reason this may have initially received limited press...

    Think this is the clip Labour should be trying to get out there. A Labour MP who is a doctor and was working in intensive care last December talking about what she was experiencing while the parties were taking place.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    They screwed the mask wearing thing up from the start with the self declared exemptions, something they don't seem to have in other countries. We've created a situation where anyone not wanting to wear a mask can just say they're exempt and nobody can challenge it. The random application of...

    He's been an absolute mess at pretty much every PMQs since he became PM but it doesn't cut through with the public.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Washington Post has a report about what they say is the first omicron in-depth laboratory study. Doesn't make great reading to me, although some of the experts quoted say its a mixed bag of good and bad news. And of course the caveat that this is one study that has yet to be peer reviewed. It...

    But as its the Conservatives they can just get rid of Johnson and everything bad that's happened on his watch fades into the background. For some strange reason the same doesn't apply to other parties.

    Where does everyone sit?

    Block 20 for me. More sweets & flasks than off your head on coke.

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    I'm enjoying it more than Foundation yet Foundation got rave reviews and Invasion has been mixed at best. Last weeks seemed like a season finale so be interesting to see where they are going to go with the actual season finale this week.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Looking at a completely unrepresentative sample (people I went to school with who are on Facebook!), the people who 'achieved' at school and went on to uni are mostly thoroughly miserable, stressed etc. The people who 'failed' and went off for a few years before deciding what they wanted to do...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Congrats from chiefdave BSc. Would love to be able to retrain and switch careers, not really a viable option for me unfortunately. Although to be honest I'm not entirely sure what career I'd change to! There's things I wished I had pursued back in the day but that's a bit different to making a...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    To me it seems like the charity is being scapegoated - 'its not our fault, blame them'. Not like there was an orderly queue of people waiting to get onto planes and people lost their place in the queue to make way for Nowzad. If they had far more people to get out than they had capacity for why...

    Something doesn't add up here, for a change. At the time it was reported that Nowzad chartered their own plane, the animals were in the cargo hold and they offered the spare capacity for government use. The plane left with hundreds of empty seats after their offer was rejected.

    I'm sure he's absolutely correct but I doubt I'd have much success telling the bank I couldn't pay the mortgage as I've quit my job.
