    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    The news today all seems pretty gloomy. Record numbers and increasing restrictions in many places around Europe. Given the way things have gone so far can see this happening in England in a couple of weeks. Same is happening in Paris and in Brussels to try and get things back under some sort of...

    Fresh Ricoh talks

    Story seems to be lacking on any actual evidence. First and foremost unless Wasps have changed their stance there is little chance of things moving forward. We’ve had months of talks in the past and got nowhere. Not going to get too excited about this unless more info comes out.

    When you say it is doable what do you consider an acceptable number of deaths to achieve herd immunity?

    Not really looked at the numbers for London but if they are lower than the rest of the country then I hope someone is looking into why that is. You'd expect the tube to be a hotbed of transmission.

    Why not move your only warehouse and change to a new automated system at the time. Even better do it in the middle of a pandemic. Can't foresee any potential issues there. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-54435226

    Isn't this based on continuing restrictions? The report specifically says its not "predictions of the expected effects of COVID-19".

    Mutton resigns!

    Seems he turned up at the council house when he should have been quarantining after a trip abroad. Wonder if there's more to this as apparently he resigned after Martin Reeves reported him to the police. Seems an odd thing for Reeves to do given the councils usual method of dealing with rule...

    Its not just match days, its going out to schools, community events etc. You can even hire him to turn up at your own event. Realistically how much can the hourly rate be and how many hours a week is the guy working? Can't add up to much over the year. Did nobody stop and think about the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Sounded like we've moved past the pretending to give a shit about stopping poor people dying stage onto the how can we make money out of this stage.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Excellent post from Hayseed Dixie of all people. Still got a lot of contacts in that industry from my time working in it and its desperately sad seeing people losing their jobs and being told they aren't viable when they are ready and willing to work but being prevented from doing so by the same...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    The idea of a white knight was being floated in the other thread, is that realistic? There won't be many people in the area who have a strong enough connection with them to be willing to cover tens of millions every season in losses. There's always the prospect that as with the takeover of...

    When this idea of a circuit breaker lockdown was first raised not long after the schools went back I heard a scientist who is on SAGE talking on Radio 4. He said if we were going to do it we needed to do it immediately. Said if we waited to try and tie it in with he school holidays we'd be too...

    Football is back!!!! Premier League

    Brilliant gesture from Ozil but the fact Arsenal were happy to get rid of a part time employee of 27 years to save a few quid while spending £45m on Partey, not to mention £1.3m on two players for their U23s, pretty much sums up everything that is wrong with the Prem.

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Interesting given that we were told the reason the arena valuation shot up after Wasps takeover was down to the fact the valuation was based on projections of future business. Given that pretty much all their business has ground to a halt, and is likely to remain that way for the next few...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    What I don't really get with the covid deniers is how do they think someone has managed to get every government in the world, every public health service, and the vast majority of medical professionals and scientists to agree to this plan? That's even before you consider what the purpose of it...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Their thinking seems to be Wasps can get a huge government covid loan, which will be on preferable terms, to refinance. Surely that can't happen.

    Money. If you were asked in a job interview why you wanted to work somewhere would your answer be that you couldn't give a shit about the company and how it performs. That your aim is to do the minimum you can possibly get away with, for example not turning up to meetings, while collecting your pay?

    Wasps downward spiral...

    If you look at that chaps posting history on there he only ever comments on Wasps bonds, always thinks things are going fantastically and "I am a holder of these bonds". The refinancing has got to be a huge worry at this stage. That's only 19 months away and it looks like we've got a few more...
