    Behind closed doors

    I don't get the mentality of supporting the club but doing things like this which directly deprives the club of income at a time they desperately need it. Appreciate there are people that can't afford it but some of the Facebook streams have a couple of thousand watching. Over the course of...

    Had a closer look at the daily testing capacity figures that are published. Seems that in mid June they added in over 100K a day capacity for antibody tests which they've rolled into the total testing capacity figure. Bit misleading IMO but explains why every day it shows huge amounts of unused...

    Same at Moat Street. It’s exactly what people have been complaining about for days. There’s sites sat virtually idle while people are sent to test sites miles away and arrive to find massive queues. Meanwhile the government are still releasing daily figures saying we have huge amounts of unused...

    Do the kids still get to blow the school up? Remember someone setting fire to the ceiling in one of my chemistry lessons!

    Are there not already existing systems that could be adapted? What happens if you do a distance learning degree or other FE course in a practical subject, or is that just not an available option?

    Doesn't bother me in the slightest, not sure why you think it would. If BHSB is enjoying being furloughed then good for him. Might surprise you to know I don't sit here wishing misery on others. To be fair I'd be a lot less worried about not having a job come November if I was due to retire a...

    What a pathetic post. How anyone can post something like this is beyond me.

    Things that annoy you

    Having to have constant work meetings when on furlough is annoying enough but having hauled myself out of bed (not being lazy, just taking advantage of furlough to be able to watch the NHL playoffs in the early hours) stop cancelling them literally 5 minutes before they're due to start!

    Jodi

    Didn't he get a new contact while recovering from one of his pervious ACL injuries? Can't imagine he's on mega bucks. Presumably by the end of this season they'll have a good idea if he's going to be able to play or not so trust the judgement of the medical and management team. Hopefully it...

    Can you imagine the meeting: "Lets make a RoboCop TV series" "Great idea, lets not have RoboCop in it"

    The other option is effective treatment. For some reason it seems very difficult to get information about that unless you have the knowledge to read pretty in depth medical papers. Does make me wonder if there hasn't been much advancement in that area as you would have through they'd be shouting...

    Its not one or the other. You can be worried about the virus, depressed from lockdown and lose your job with the financial mess that follows. I know personally I'm worried about getting it, my anxiety (which is normally pretty mild) is through the roof and I potentially don't have a job in 6...

    I was considering getting one for exactly that reason. Can't go to games but if the majority of the season is BCD worth buying to support the club. But then people started talking about letting fans back in as early as October which put me off. At the moment I reckon fully open grounds by spring...

    Feel for you mate. I'm lucky enough to be getting furlough payments but that ends soon and I'll be completely screwed if I'm not back in work when they end. Buying a house just before this all kicked off could end up being a huge mistake for me. If I was still renting and made redundant my...

    Maybe not as bad as it seems at first. It could still have gone ahead but the limit was changed from 2K to 1K in attendance. Problem is they've already shifted more tickets than that so they've decided not to bother. Not sure 1K or 2K in a 8K capacity stadium makes, is that an indication that...

    Not sure where in my post I said that but if its a straight choice between putting education on hold for a few months, or even a year, or causing an increase in virus circulation that could lead to thousands of deaths I think you have to give it serious consideration. Of course a competent...

    Yep, hire fee for the hall and staff as well as the f&b money will go to Wasps. There will also be a surcharge on merchandise so anyone who buys a t-shirt etc will be handing money to Wasps (that's not particularly Wasps being dicks, its a standard practice all venues being dicks thing)...

    There's already been two schools in Cov with positive tests hasn't there? I don't see how you avoid contact in schools. If you assume there's going to be contact, and that kids can pass it on without even knowing they have it, then you accept that there will be kids who pick it up at school and...

    They use a smartphone app with QR code in the NHL bubble. Essentially every morning they have to go to a terminal where they scan their QR code, the machine reads their temperature and if they're OK the app background goes green for the day, if they fail it goes red. They then use the app to...

    Seems details of Johnson's 'Operation Moonshoot' have been leaked. Have to say it reads more like another scheme to divert money to his mates than a serious proposal to get things back to some sort of normal. To put that into perspective that's the same as the education budget for the UK, or...
