    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    15 minutes cities (the number sometimes changes but the basic idea doesn't), something that was a hot topic in urbanism even before the pandemic. Might have posted this before but its worth a watch as a basic intro to the idea but its pretty much self explanatory. Everything you need within 15...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    No chance of something like the 4 day week coming in here when we have a government whose views are so far behind the times, or more likely who are more concerned about their property owning donors than the health and wellbeing of the workforce. How out of touch can you be. I don't know anyone...

    England World Cup Qualifying Thread

    What is the benefit of these games? It doesn't help England and it can't be fun for San Marino. Is it a money thing? Qualification process needs a rethink.

    International break - things that will/may affect us

    Thought when it happened if it was our game they'd be getting slaughtered. There was more than one or two at the weekend as well by top Prem strikers. BBC put up a stat, no idea how accurate it is, of who converts the most chances to goals, top was only 1 in 3 which seemed low to me.

    England World Cup Qualifying Thread

    Can we go a game without a minutes silence or clapping. Sure we used to go whole seasons without them and only bother when it was a big name - Jimmy Hill or Cyrille Regis level. Now its constant, plus when we're allowed in at pretty much every game you've got to clap at a certain time for something.

    U23s v Wigan

    That could be able anything but assuming it is about not being picked I'd much rather have players who are pissed off when they aren't picked and have a point to prove than those that are just sat around happy to collect a wage. Not like he's said anything controversial or called anyone out.

    At the end of the day we're all guessing how any sort of vaccine passport would work. Is this another case of something being thrown out there to see the response before the government decides what to do?

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    They have, but selling tickets doesn't mean it will go ahead. How many events have been postponed or cancelled over the past year? I've got a ticket for one in June which I'm 99.9% certain won't go ahead and another for September which I would say is 50/50 at best. They're clearly not chucking...

    Its certainly being looked at seriously for concerts. No way the likes of Ticketmaster and Live Nation are putting a significant amount of money into updating their ticketing apps to link with public health services to show if people have been vaccinated or had a recent negative test with no...

    Wouldn't be any different to now being allowed in under age would it? Bar staff check id for that.

    Wasps losses and ricoh return catalyst

    It was in the bond prospectus wasn’t it? Seem to recall it was vaguely worded which seems to be where the confusion started.

    U23s v Wigan

    Looks like the international break is allowing the likes of Walker and Godden to get some desperately needed match time.

    Yes, has been confirmed by the Chief Constable at a press briefing. The apology relates to this Didn't a (Labour?) MP get a lot of criticism for going on TV and saying we should wait for the full facts to come out?

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Its not being denied is it? The discussion I heard on this earlier today was suggesting that business owners can make a choice. Either open to everyone but with similar restrictions to those in place previously (rule of six, social distancing, table service) or open to only those with vaccine...

    Wasps losses and ricoh return catalyst

    Two questions for me. Is the refinancing going to be as easy as some make out. A newly moved Wasps proclaiming they will be the richest and most successful club in Europe is very different to where they're at now. Who is going to be rushing to put money in? Also what happens when the owner runs...
