    said early last season he's the best player in this draft. a game changer. Teams will be double teaming him from the off. day 2 & 3 is when teams can really make or break their drafts. Finding players good enough to start in rounds 2 through 5.

    Only real surprise is Packers giving up picks to draft Love (especially as just given Rodgers a big 4 Yr deal). Love is a good prospect but Packers had bigger needs. Perhaps Patriots trading down. Means they must have a QB plan but would have thought they'd draft him some weapons. Happy enough...

    Made this point last week. (I think. Dates & times blurry now :)) Govt here had said we were weeks away from getting any EU organized PPE etc. Everything here so far organized by Govt on an individual basis.

    Odds on this draft going without a technical hitch?

    Maybe because at last count there's 33 mutations of the virus - maybe it is more successful against certain strains. These mutations are being used as one explanation for differing geographical mortality rates.

    "Interesting" to see some EU countries refusing to help companies that are registered in tax havens.

    We've been linked for one of our 1st round picks but don't see us having the cap space and 1st round is a bit high. Think Foster back makes a big difference - if fully fit and behaving himself. A real talent on the field.

    we have strange official numbers and no-one is allowed to question govt or medical people under the new laws here!! Many cases not registered as people just told to self-quarantine and only getting tested if symptoms seriously deteriorate after a week. Get a red sticker for the front door and...

    So we've furloughs etc. here in Hungary. "Non-essential" businesses going bust Hungarians generally don't have savings or credit cards so things pinching after 5 weeks. Most live pay cheque to paycheque - utility bills etc. still coming in (here 60 days to settle or you're disconnected - no ifs...

    I'm sure Burrow will do okay but one great season (in a very good system) has masked the previous 4 years. Everything hit for LSU (bit like the Eagles SB season). Were lucky to get past Auburn and i still think a fully-fit Tua (wasn't more than 75% in that game) could have got Bama past LSU -...

    sure. But they said the same about Murray taking more hits. Tua has great pocket awareness and movement. The latest injury was a freak one.

    Would still be Tua for me. Consistent body of work at a high level - even when not fully fit. Herbert's senior bowl redeemed him a bit after a poorer season than last one. I had him ahead of Jones and Haskins if he'd been in last year's draft. Mind you I preferred Lock to Jones:) Depends on...

    so weird the lead up to this draft. Normally you have all sorts of movers (up and down) after the workouts etc. (which were all cancelled).

    Key point this. Voters are individuals no matter how much people try and bloc them into groupings All parties susceptible to vested interests. But, for example, large Trade Unions that are Labour backers can't actually block deliver their members votes in an election. Large companies that back...

    Interesting this. Talking to one of my brothers and some friends in UK (1 in Brum, rest in London) who have seriously realized how much work can be done from home and are looking at the merits of relocating (particularly northwards) due to the cost of housing (and the rent/mortgages they are...

    1/3? Does that mean we're going to live into our 100s? That's a way a way surely. state picking up the tab will come from higher taxes for those in work. As to investment in medicine, healthy lifestyles - some comes from trying to reduce the burden on health services, the rest from individual...

    you've got a figure for the outright tax evasion, then there's a figure for the "legal" evasion (like Google, Amazon etc moving their daily income offshore to tax friendly environments)

    It does raise economic issues for the future though (not the euthanasia bit). Companies investing billions in extending life spans = normally at the "unproducive" stages of our lives. Getting to the situation where around half of our life spans will not be spent working (paying into the system)...
