    Messi leaving Barca

    So where to next? Man City seems too obvious.

    I would be pleased to see this put in place in England... just seems sensible. Scots pupils to wear face coverings from 31 August

    Laptops

    I went to a independent computer shop and bought a Lenovo Thinkpad (refurbed and cost £300) about 4 years ago. It’s bulky and ugly but by far the best laptop I’ve ever bought. Had it souped up with some decent RAM like shmmeee said and it runs like a dream. It survived working from home during...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    I’m more impressed they could spot an asteroid that is only 2m wide 2 years ago.... that must be a typo.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    I really hope you are right, but Clinton had similar polling at this point before 2016.

    Gnabry.

    I don’t get the Ozil hate. He’s the best ball player in that team by a country mile. Wenger also managed to get the best 3 years of Sanchez’s career out of him. But I agree about a lot of their signings... just not good enough for the level they wanted to play at. They always had a certain style...

    It could have been worse - you could have been forced to go to church because your Mum decided we had to keep up the pretence of being religious so that we could go to a Catholic school. Every Sunday was shit for 5 years...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    No idea to be honest - we’ve not been told anything about this from either school or union. There was talk a couple of weeks ago about weekly/fortnightly tests but nothing has come through further on that. I do want the schools back open, but there are a few simple things that could go in place...

    2/3 weeks into the new school term we will learn a lot about how kids contribute to the virus spreading. I am crossing everything to hope it’s not an issue but I am ominous about it.

    I’m here looking at the situation in Northampton where I teach wondering if they are going to go into local lockdown. The rate is much higher than Birmingham currently. There seems little in terms of potential planning if they were to do some trade-offs to ensure schools open next month.

    CCFC 20/21 fixtures released tomorrow

    Let’s hope we can harness the winning mentality from the end of last season so we make a solid start. Will take a few games for teams to work us out too. Hopefully some of those teams that failed to get promoted will have a bit of a hangover to begin with.

    Putting my cat down

    What an awfully shit situation, I’m really sorry you have this crap to sort out. My only advice (doesn’t mean it’s good and hopefully not relevant to you) is that whatever you decide to do it sometimes bring the questions about their own mortality - so maybe be prepared for that if they haven’t...

    You’ve mentioned mass rape repeatedly yet not once voiced your abhorrence at systemic child abuse rampant in the Christian Church throughout the ages, the BBC and government during the 2nd part of the 20th Century. You don’t give a fuck about the abuse of vulnerable people - just want a vehicle...

    Nationalism

    There’s a train of thought that Nationalism can be considered to be the manipulation of patriotism which allows you to foster intolerance and hatred towards certain demographics in the notion that it protects your country, so it’s OK.

    You are literally a talking Daily Mail message board, and what seems to escape your thought process is that you haven’t proven a single fact in your diatribe.
