    That's bollocks. You find something and link to it, and if I'm wrong I'll put my hands up. The truth is that you can't, because there really isn't anything. You are literally making stuff up or relying on twitter. I wouldn't mind if it was football, but this is serious and dangerous because...

    Yep, and I worry that people who try to play it down are either being selfish or deliberately missing the point. The problem is that some people don't seem to see that that even very small proportions of very big numbers, are in themselves pretty big numbers. Even if Omicron is less deadly...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Without using Facebook or Twitter or some other made up bullshit, please link to something credible that shows holes in the trials that make the Covid vaccination unsafe. I'm sick of dangerous, selfish lunatics making shit up on here, because they're scared of a simple vaccination that would...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    I listened to the commentary. I don't know about the numbers, but it certainly sounded like Wasps fans were very definitely in the minority. In fact, if it wasn't for the Munster fans I fancy all that you would have heard would have been the gentle pop of bubbles bursting. :)

    I'm Sad, I need to share.

    If they've got to that age and they don't completely hate you, and they're not in a Youth Offenders Institution, then congratulate yourself on doing a decent job as a parent. Sounds like you've given them the right values and the confidence to be independent, don't beat yourself up for that. In...

    CCFC Supports Rainbow Laces - Why?

    I honestly had no idea he was gay, or indeed where he came from (I'm thinking reality TV rather than Mars, both seem equally possible). But blimey, he's irritating. And I'm scared having his teeth on screen for more than ten seconds will give me sunburn. 🙂

    Wasps downward spiral...

    God, where to start on the dislike of Wasps by City fans. Franchising of sport. No impact on the football team (lie). Primacy of fixtures, we'll play on Sundays (lie). No impact on Cov RFC, we'll play on Sundays (as above). We're going to build an Academy in the city bringing lots...

    They reduce transmission in the population, NW. That's broadly accepted and seems incontrovertible. They may not stop you as an individual catching Covid of course, because immunity wanes. But if you slow down transmission in the community, then your chances of catching it are of course...

    I'm all for skepticism, Christ knows we need a lot more of it, especially for people who take what they read on Twitter or Facebook as gospel. Skepticism used as a cloak for selfishness, and repeated in the face of the facts though, that I'm not so keen on. For example, I can't find anything...

    Can you post a link to something that he's published and that contains evidence that the chance of a virus mutating to become more dangerous/transmissible is minuscule, please? I've linked to actual evidence that you're mistaken in that assumption, you're asking me to wade through hours of...

    It's this sort of stuff that worries me. The chance of a virus mutating to be more deadly is certainly not minuscule. There is no evidence to support that proposition. So, I wonder, why do people say it or take it at face value. I tend to think it's often to justify a purely selfish position -...

    Can you link to some actual evidence for this please?

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    If I could make only one wish with regards to this thread, it's that we should not let anecdotes trump data. The point of vaccination isn't just to protect the individual, it's to protect everyone. Politely, I think there's far too much weight here given from some people towards anecdotal...

    Viruses can mutate to become either more deadly, or less deadly. At the moment I think the jury is out on the Omicron strain: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41564-020-0690-4

    I could live with that if we bring in some kind of regulation: Goals per season (excluding set piece headers): 0-5: You're in black, mate. 6-10: Dark blue, dark olive, brown. 10-15: Subdued red or orange 15-20: Yellow, white, purple. 20+: Hi Viktor, dayglo pink again? 😁

    I can live with the laces, that's for a good cause, but boots should be black, properly polished, and the makers logo should be understated. Six studs per boot, or moulded, never blades. Laces need to be on top of the boots, never on the side, and never tucked in, and there are extra form...

    The problem is that you've chosen to wind people up and be deliberately provocative, and frankly, post rank untruths. And guess what, people have bitten. Are you saying that you've done this because you've got mental health issues? If so, I'm genuinely sorry if I've hurt your feelings, but I'd...

    Isn't this the classic story... Scribbled onto a desk at school, "My grandmother made me a homosexual!". Written underneath, "If I buy her the wool, will she make me one too?"

    And the other point here, even if in the face of all logic you still think it is a choice, what gives you the right to refuse to accept it? It's their life and their choice, not yours. P.S. It's not a choice, ok, get your head around that and you'll be on the right lines to understanding why...

    Use some critical thinking mate. At what point in your life did you sit down and say, having thought it all through, I've decided to be attracted to women? It's a pretty big decision, surely you can remember it, no?
