    Yeah, Allassani seemed like a big prospect that'd been unlucky with injuries and had worked hard to try and get back up. Bosma had never pulled up many trees elsewhere. I didn't expect Allassani to get into the team straight away, but it's not even like he's featured much at other levels and...

    How do you know they're not trying? Only so many jobs in journalism to go round if that's what they want to do and they've still got bills to pay in the meantime. It's a first step on the career ladder for many aspiring journalists and even if they manage to get away there'll be a ton of...

    After talking a bit about Johnson in isolaton yesterday I was wondering what he'd do when that isolation period ended and had a suspicion he'd somehow find a way to remain in it for longer. Suspicions proven. So given that I thought we could have a quick game of an old family favouite

    I was there early-mid 90's. Some hard buggers and we had an excellent rugby and footy team.

    It is useful for trends, but as with all things it shouldn't be used in isolation. The raw figures are also needed to highlight that even if trends look good the actual raw figures are still quite startling. And you also need to highlight that countries are recording and testing differently and...

    Tile Hill Wood was all-girls until a few years ago when it merged with Woodlands. Think it got some new name after though.

    Problem with that is one year someone could get a lower grade but a higher mark than someone the following year due to a 'poorer' standard. Why I've preferred actual marks to grades etc. Also give the percentage of high grades had consistently gone up over many years this can't have been the...

    They have been warned that a pandemic was one of the most likely 'worst case scenarios' to occur and that the health service was woefully under-funded and under-prepared in terms of equipment for that scenario. They chose to ignore it and implemented austerity cuts resulting in real-term funding...

    If I were you I'd have added an extra bit on the end of "unless you're a multi-billion dollar individual/corporation able to 'sweet-talk' your way out of it"

    You do seem obsessed with the daily figures and extrapolating stuff from them. You really can't do so - things could fluctuate quite significantly day to day.. Best thing to do is check them weekly and look for a trend in that data.

    While it is annoying it needs to be remembered that they're not the only ones. EVERY local paper owned by the organisation has been told to operate in the same manner. I'm sure most of them are frustrated, know it isn't proper journalism and want out but everywhere is the same. So their heart's...

    Only because I did a tall CCFC XI thread a few days ago. I thought he was about 6'2'' (maybe he grew a bit more after leaving as he was still young)

    Sunday league tales

    At around U13/14 possibly against Whitley Abbey we had a corner and I was designated to stay back (only a short arse). Corner was cleared and was being chased down so passed the ball back to the keeper from inside their half and was keeping an eye on the striker to cut him off from closing down...
