Is anyone actually remotely surprised they're just apeing whatever America does?

Why are you working in a factory producing COVID? Stop working and we might be allowed out quicker! ;)

I agree. Think I suggested that'll be what'll happen a few weeks ago on here. Extend lockdown a bit longer into Dec (can't do it too long as it's shops main revenue time) have Xmas and New Year opened up more then Jan and possibly part of Feb under tight restrictions and hope we get a mild...

I reckon gas in the home will be gone in roughly a generation. Not only is it a finite resource it's potentially dangerous if not done correctly with fire or CO risk. Although modern boilers are more efficient I find it takes much longer for taps to get hot now because it has to wait for the...

I've always felt this was the system which most mirrored current motoring in terms of fueling etc, but itself does have problems. Firstly, 'refining' the hydrogen can be tricky because it so likes to be friends with other elements it's hard to 'unglue' it from them. Secondly is the image...

Doesn't answer the question for terraced housing where you can't park the car near your house. My house is about 20 yards from the road in a cul-de-sac so having a charging point installed at my house would be pointless. Of course you can install points at the edge of the road and/or on nearby...

I've expected road tax to move more towards mileage than set rates for a while. As we change towards cleaner vehicles I think that's the way it will go with a bigger focus on the congestion on the roads rather than the pollution of the cars. Of course you can say we already do tax per mile due...

In the end I think it'll end up a merger/takover between F1 and FE. F1 cars already use electric systems more powerful than an average family hatchback and as it improves with efficiency and mileage combustion engines will become naturally obsolete. This is just giving a warning to the...

Trouble is it what they tend to do, along with Italy. Look potentially vulnerable in the qualifiers then turn up at the tournament proper, sometimes even scraping through the group stage but end up in the semi's/final. Portugal have also done that in the last decade. Spain and France used to be...

It should be a concern because it plays a massive part in getting elected in the modern day. Most people don't know many of the policies of the parties unless they're highlighted (such as Brexit). Tory manifesto last time was the most vague one I've ever read - it may as well have just said GET...

I agree with that, but at the same time when you have Starmer making more of the issue of Corbyn by denying the whip ahead of pointing out the issues those attacking Labour have, which are arguably far broader and larger, it's making it easy for them. Admittedly it's a damned-if-you-do...

I fear you may be right. A lot of people have said they've been drinking a lot more.

I think it's probably because they're trained physicians. Most of their learning is on physical things and A causes B and can be cured by C in pretty much everyone because we're built the same. There is some variation but those rules on the whole hold true. Mental health is completely different...

Games being played with greater frequency because season started late so less rest time. You could also say the lack of break between last season and this, although by the same degree us having significant injuries when we had an extended break wouldn't support that. But then how many of our...

Sorry to hear that.

But are those injuries in training freak accidents or muscle tears/pulls that could've been brought on by overwork in games? There is a great more time spent on the practice field than in games so statistically you're more likely to get such an injury in training than games. So the muscle...

I agree with this whole heartedly, although it would need to be done in conjunction with restrictions on Ant to really prove effective.

I'd have thought this will eventually be treated like work-related conditions such as those suffering from working with vibrating tools. Of course the issue being many people who aren't footballers also develop dementia, so the causal link is hard to confirm and thus affect a claim for...

This is part of the argument about helmets in the NFL. One is that the helmets give a sense of invulnerability to the player and are actually more likely to do something that will put them at risk because they feel protected. Also such devices don't stop internal movement of the brain within...

Decent point. Also with better, lighter boots players can strike the ball harder too so you're robbing Peter to pay Paul. I guess it'd be easy to prove scientifically. Group of people with old boots and old balls strike them against a force plate numerous times to create a data set, then repeat...
