    New ricoh tenant

    The government don't seem ready to hand over any bail out to sports. There was some money that went from the National Lottery to Sport England but that is aimed at grassroots. The plan for 'elite' sport seems to be for the top levels to bail out those in trouble, eg the Premier League helps the...

    Kastaneer

    Got two years left hasn't he? Not sure paying that off is going to be top priority on a limited budget.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Oddly enough the EU don't consider Japan and Turkey part of Britain. Seem to be recall this being one of the things labelled Project Fear. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-54345882

    New ricoh tenant

    Wonder if they are moving it or just going to have mobile units like we did. There's nowhere obvious for it to go to that would get the foot fall of the current location. Obviously far too complicated a question for a Telegraph journalist to ask.

    Football is back!!!! Premier League

    Changing from unnatural body shape to could a player be expected to have their arms in a position taking into account how they were positioned or how they were interacting with opponents. Obvious there was an issue but find it a bit odd you can change the rules part way through a season. What...

    U23 Game

    At this point you'd even consider loaning Kasta out and paying a decent chunk of his wages. No point him being here playing U23s when he's clearly miles away from getting a chance in the first team. Not helping anyone him being here another 2 years playing reserve games.

    Coventry University - Covidiots.

    I would have pointed out the poor build quality and small room these student blocks have. Then I saw what passes for luxury apartments in the former co-op building and how much they're charging for them.

    Even by the Telegraphs standards this is poor. They've managed to spin Wasps letting out some office space into a everything is fantastic article which convienently comes sandwiched between reports in the national press of Premiership rugby clubs potentially going bust and their next financial...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Obviously that's from the journalists side but sounds like they aren't getting their wages which isn't good.

    Not sure if it's still true now but read a council report on student accommodation a few years back that said Warwick Uni students were more likely to be in halls and close to the uni where Cov Uni students were spread around the city in private accommodation.

    Its horrible mate, there's literally nothing to look forward to. I'm still furloughed, no idea if I'll have a job once we get past October so sit here worrying about how I'm going to pay the mortgage and bills. Haven't seen anyone apart from my Mum and Dad in months. My Dads 86 and I can see...

    Some good news. Although this sounds a bit like the moonshot test, Johnson will be annoyed if someone has already developed it and he can't chuck a load of money to his mates. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-54331921

    Football is back!!!! Premier League

    Bit disappointing to see Villa doing so well early on. Was hoping for another relegation battle! Hopefully this is a one off and not a sign that numbers are going up. Presumably if too many players start coming back with positive tests they'll have to look at postponing games which could be...

    This never seems to be explained when people say just get on with it and open everything up. Even if you look at the numbers suggested in Steve's post (#32,717) thats huge numbers of sick and dead, and those numbers were based on restrictions being in place. Is there an acceptable deaths figure...

    You're a couple of years out on the age but at the moment only having 25 years knocked off would feel like a victory. But you can't just dismiss those people with a wave of the hand as acceptable losses. People talk about those who are elderly or have underlying conditions like they're at...
