    Osaka.

    Unless I've missed something she wasn't refusing to wear her sponsors logo on her shirt. So every piece of footage of her from the tournament would carry that logo. Now she's not playing it won't.

    Osaka.

    Just a quick follow up. A dig around on the French Open website, as they aren't exactly prominently featured, shows they have 20 tournament sponsors. Of those 20 there is only 1 whose logo features in the press conferences, the primary sponsor whose logo is also all around the court. The press...

    Osaka.

    Quick question about sponsorship. Lets say company ABC sponsors a player. That player then carries the companies logo on their shirt, they carry out PR and advertising for the company, maybe appear in adverts for them. The player does a post game press conference which see's a one line quote...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Anyone that has booked anything without checking they are covered for alternations and / or cancellations only has themselves to blame.

    Looks like we could lose a whole day today. On the plus side weekend forecast is decent and with a day lost we should get 2 full days of play.

    Insomnia

    I used the Headspace app for a bit but there's less than 2 weeks worth of sleep casts on there that I use (don't like having a bloke talking me to sleep!) so it get repetitive fast. Tried podcasts but I end up listening to them rather than sleeping. So its back to music. I really need to spend...

    Logan / Jake Paul / Mayweather Etc

    Can't get my head around anyone paying to watch a circus like this, let alone enough to give him that sort of payday.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Why does the simple concept of supply and demand not relate to jobs? Makes me annoyed when I see articles on skills shortages like the one today on the BBC site. On the rare occasion that we try to replace someone who has left with someone that knows what they're doing we end up with a vacant...

    Its made up really easy to see who is a management suck up. Although disappointingly it seems there's only a couple of us who aren't.

    What a complete mess this traffic lights system is. There was the survey the other day showing a decent percentage of people going to amber countries weren't going to self isolate on return and now this. If there's restrictions in place enforce them. Seeing government ministers saying its all...

    Based on nothing but guesswork I think you'd need to throw in an offer of £15m if you wanted to have a serious conversation about taking over the club.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    That couldn't have been much worse really. Increased transmission, increased risk of hospitalisation and vaccines not as effective. Going to have to keep a very close eye on things but if increased transmission and hospitalisation are true you have to doubt if we can open up as planned on June 21.

    Things that annoy you

    Every idiot in the company feeling the need to say goodbye every day on Teams. As if that wasn’t bad enough we’ve now got everyone replying to each other individually, it’s like the bloody Waltons. Also people announcing they’ve finished for the day when I’ll be working for hours.

    What an innings from Conway. 200 on debut. That run out was pretty tight as well. If Englands batsmen don't mess this up we could be in for a tight game here. Still lots of batting in the pitch.

    I had mine done when the doctors phoned up and said get here now and you can have one. They had loads left at the end of the day from people who hadn't turned up.
