    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    This is why you have modelling. June 21st was based on the Alpha variant which at the time was the dominant strain in the UK. It shows how much we expect cases to increase when things open up and given the predicted vaccination levels it was deemed safe to target June 21st. This isn't a new...

    21/22 Summer transfer mega-thread

    Doubt they were our only targets. Probably best to wait and see where we are at when pre-sesaon starts. Even then there's still plenty of time to add to the squad.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Thought they were keen on Universities being able to do whatever they liked. Or does that only apply when its certain types of event being cancelled?

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Anyone watch the Blacklist? What a load of shit this season is. Think they've 'done a Lost' and got themselves in a hole the writers don't know how to get out of. You can't spend years spinning out a huge mythology and then keep going off at weird tangents without resolving anything. 8 years...

    Offensive jokes have always been a thing. You can't look at things from 10 years ago and judge them by todays standard. We're talking about very different things to someone directing racist abuse at someone IMO. Is there really anyone who is getting offended because 10 years ago Anderson told...

    What am I missing, how is 'Sir, you're my favourite batsman' offensive?

    You can still get in with a negative test, its not only people who have been vaccinated. My question has always been if all the test events are either negative test only or now fully vaccinated people how does that give us any data on events run as 'normal', unless that plan is for this to be...

    Its actually a relaxation of the current rules. All the test events have required a negative test no matter what your vaccination status. This is saying that you now only need a test if you aren't fully vaccinated.

    Only know one person who has used it but he's always said its a complete free for all. Stewards disappear by the end of the game so there's no traffic management on the way out. Also nobody stops pick ups on Judds Lane which blocks the road and there's no traffic management on the roundabout...

    Things that annoy you

    Alright for some! I might have underestimated the time some people are taking on the school run. Started work at 8am today, supposed to be a team meeting at 8:30am but someone was missing as they were 'on the school run' which they got back from at 10:25am!!! We have to account for every minute...

    I'm in Coventry South and if this is similar to the last time it came up we were going to be bundled into Kenilworth!

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Think there's an element of some groups shouting louder than others and making them seem larger. I've noticed a couple of events recently where tickets haven't exactly been flying out the door despite all this supposed pent up demand. Download Festival is taking place at the end of June, albeit...

    How big is the bonus if the tax on it is a few thousand?! Most places I've worked bonuses have been the norm until about 10-12 years ago. They were paid 3 or 4 times a year and in the (very) low 4 figures so never really needed to make any arrangements to avoid paying tax.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Why is there no doubt? If we see that vaccines are effective against variants and those being hospitalised are unvaccinated then once we're through the vaccination program, which I think is ahead of schedule, it will just be a case of ongoing monitoring. Don't think people have a grip on how...

    This is the problem for me. If you're saying tweets 10 years ago are an issue you're saying people can't change. If you're saying people can't change then all the anti-racism programs we see if football, cricket etc are a waste of time. Is it not better to use him as an example of a guy whose...
