    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Should be paid IMO. On call is a cop it for companies who want to provide a round the clock service, which you know they are charging for, but don't want to pay to properly staff it. Even worse when you're talking about staff on minimum wage. I work in IT support and on-call has exploded in the...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    We don't seem to learn. Before Xmas we had the scientists saying it was a bad idea and would lead to a surge in cases but anyone that mentioned that got the same 'you want to be in lockdown forever' line being thrown out now. Not sure why everything has to be one extreme or the other. Its not...

    Club could knock out some of these neck warmers which seem to be popular with PL players at the moment. I'd have no problem wearing something like that. Its freezing cold most of the season anyway!

    There must be data on that. Mask wearing became prevalent in Asia after SARS which was back in the early 2000s wasn't it? So there will be nearly 20 years worth of data. Interesting that after SARS people living in the countries who suffered the worst were happy to wear masks in public yet here...

    Hamer’s dip

    Probably a combination of things. A lot of players coming in from overseas struggle with the pace of English football. Quick look at the Eredivisie schedule would suggest he's playing a lot more games this season than he has previously even before you consider we're on a condensed schedule...

    Tips for how to watch a game with others over Zoom/Teams

    If you all start the game at the same time you wouldn't be that far out would you? What you really want is ifollow to have a feature similar to Disney Plus's group watch or Netflix party but given they can't even be bothered to create an app for smart TVs and other devices I suspect the...

    Rotherham v Cov game now off too !

    That's the question isn't it. There's supposed to be procedures in place to stop this spreading if a club has one or two cases and that seems to have worked at every other club. It could just be bad luck but you'd expect it to be looked at even if only to be able to advise other clubs on...

    Things that annoy you

    The Telegraph. The standard of 'journalism' is woeful. 8 days ago they quoted Trish Willetts, director of business improvement, talking about who would be moving into the empty unit in Cathedral Lanes that was previously MOD Pizza, "The city will go crazy, whenever you say 'what business would...

    I would assume because at the same time European countries are pausing AZ vaccinations and 'undermining confidence' they are also threatening to block exports destined for the UK.

    Good start. Wasn't a lot of notice so suspect a lot of people will be waiting for pay day.

    The hotel, if it ever happens, is only taking up a small part of the car park from the images that accompanied the planning application. There's also supposed to be a new car park on the wasteland next to the shops to make up for the lost spaces. But I wouldn't bet on any work starting on a...

    I've been pleasantly surprised by Sultana, seems to work hard and actually get involved in the local area. Think the Conservatives are going to need someone much better than Mattie Haven at the next election if they want to take the seat. She appeared at my door during the campaign and was...

    Hartlepool by-election could be interesting. Suspect both parties will be going all out for that one.

    Have you tried buying an extra one? I've already renewed mine and I can still select a seat and get as far as the checkout without it saying I'm not eligible.

    Only really keep it for the bands I follow and music groups I'm in. The number of adverts have gone through the roof recently though which is making it virtually unusable. All people want is to see their time line and see it order, shouldn't be that difficult. How are these not classed as...
