    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    What are Morrisons actually doing? Are they removing the temporary changes they made to their sick pay so that it covered those who were having to self isolate or are they saying those who aren't vaccinated won't get sick pay in any circumstances?

    Think the Manchester one has just opened. They've done a deal with the company Ian Bell has just setup to provide the bats so fingers crossed there's a Midlands one soon.

    Annoy is nowhere near a strong enough word for this https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58518892

    All purpose cricket thread

    Posted similar on twitter earlier but this is a bit different IMO. Not least because that was in a pre-vaccinated world and a game scheduled to be behind closed doors. The players were in a bio-secure bubble which was breached leading to multiple positive tests including among the playing staff...

    Don't think the ECB will let this one go easily. Seems that if India forfeit event insurance kicks in, if its called off by metal agreement no payout. Think there's going to be a lot of questions about Shastri holding a book launch attended by members of the playing squad when they're supposed...

    Test match is off. Rumours the Indian players involved in the IPL contacted the BCCI overnight. Interestingly the initial statement said India couldn’t field a side and we’re forfeiting but that line has now been removed so looks like the BCCI throwing their weight around again as I doubt a...

    World Cup and Euros every other year?

    Certainly has. These competitions used to be watch every game possible, these days until we get to the knockout stages I hardly watch a game. Sure I'm not alone in that.

    World Cup and Euros every other year?

    When are they going to get it into their heads that over saturation kills interest and therefore value long term.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Would be useful to know what question was asked. Do you support lockdown if cases, hospitalisations and deaths stay at the level they are now is a very different question to would you support restrictions if cases, hospitalisations and deaths rose rapidly.

    Fucking work - again. Someone makes changes at 8:30am this morning. Customer then calls up to say everything stopped working at 8:30am this morning, Call gets assigned to me instead of person who made the changes. Person who made the changes then claims this is completely unrelated and...

    Fever Pitch : The Rise of the Premier League Documentary

    How many episodes are there? Next one, according to the listings, is about Cantona and his lunge into the crowd and the Blackburn / Man U title race that season. Would love there to be an episode on the impact its had on the clubs left in the EFL and / or clubs like us that voted for the Prem...

    Fever Pitch : The Rise of the Premier League Documentary

    Was OK but not really about the Prem League, was just about Man Utd winning the league. Seems criticism isn't allowed, apparently everything about laughing the PL was an overwhelming success and went perfectly. Sadly they didn't seem to have time for anyone who might say anything negative.

    Things that annoy you

    Not just people that are relying on you to go home. Even when that's not the case it gets pretty annoying for those of us without kids. There's multiple people at my place who take an hour, or more, in the morning for the school run and the same in the afternoon who never make up the time. That...

    The problem is we're starting from a point where the NHS was already underfunded and having a crisis every winter. When was there last a winter without reports of hospitals turning patients away because they were full and ambulances queuing outside A&E? That gives you very little room to work...

    That was the original plan. I made my parents flu jab appointments as soon as they were accepting bookings for that reason. Now it seems they won't be doing the 'one in each arm' which, assuming eventually they will say boosters are needed, just seems to be creating more work as people will need...

    Things that annoy you

    I live 0.3 miles from the school. There's at least two sets of kids by me who get driven to school by their parents who I'm guessing aren't on their way to work unless they go to work in their pyjamas.
