That couldn't have been much worse really. Increased transmission, increased risk of hospitalisation and vaccines not as effective. Going to have to keep a very close eye on things but if increased transmission and hospitalisation are true you have to doubt if we can open up as planned on June 21.

Every idiot in the company feeling the need to say goodbye every day on Teams. As if that wasn’t bad enough we’ve now got everyone replying to each other individually, it’s like the bloody Waltons. Also people announcing they’ve finished for the day when I’ll be working for hours.

Or they could just get out for a duck 🤦‍♂️

What an innings from Conway. 200 on debut. That run out was pretty tight as well. If Englands batsmen don't mess this up we could be in for a tight game here. Still lots of batting in the pitch.

I had mine done when the doctors phoned up and said get here now and you can have one. They had loads left at the end of the day from people who hadn't turned up.

Why is Gove talking about extending furlough past September? Even if we don't open up on 21 June surely by September pretty much everyone should have had one jab, think if we kept to the original timetable and 12 week gap (and we seem to be ahead and shortening the gap) everyone was double...

Its just shorthand isn't it? Nobody things the entire cost of a player is handed over by Robins in used notes at a service station but its all relative. If we sell a player for £1m and buy a player for £2m (wishful thinking!) it may not all be up front but it will be vaguely proportionate. We...

Totally get where you're coming from and there's no doubt there's a group of people who happily piss their money away and then complain but don't think that's the case for everyone. In my mind if you're working full time you should be able to afford a half decent standard of living. For me the...

Even if there was enough teachers and the money to employ them is that actually possible? I live near the school I went to. When I was there in the late 80s class sizes weren't exactly small and there was more pupils than the buildings were designed for. Now the pupil numbers are far higher but...

Are the England games at the Euros on ITV or BBC? Matterface is an appalling commentator, how on earth did he get this job?

Hope the Euros are better than this.

My company has a few years left on the lease of a large building but the landlord is looking to sell and we've said we're more than happy to terminate the lease if it helps the sale as we won't be going back in full time. Most people will be in 1 or 2 days a week. Every person in the company...

Fully expecting teachers to be labelled lazy if they object to a shorter lunch break and / or extending the school day.

They're way ahead of you there. Half the marketing department has been replaced with apprentices since the pandemic began. Bit of a tricky one for them as, to put it politely, they only employ a certain demographic of people which doesn't alway match up with the pool of candidates on...

Think I've mentioned it before but a client of ours is a chain of luxury hotels (in the £400 and upwards a night bracket). Virtually all their non-management staff are Eastern European and seeing the conditions they work in was certainly an eye opener. On minimum wage but live on site, in...

I was really hoping we'd get to spend the summer going over the same old 'how did we end up in Birmingham' and whose to blame. Who will be the first person to post up percentages of blame for all the parties involved?

Don’t forget cutting lunch breaks.

Is he seriously suggesting if he plays a blinder he's back in and someone else will be kicked out of the squad? Would love him to have an amazing game now just to see how Southgate gets himself out of a mess that would be of his own creating.

Not sure what you're trying to argue here to be honest. My original point was full time salaried staff being replaced by apprentices who aren't up to the job to save the company money. A one year apprentice at under £9K a year is far less than employing someone in a salaried position of £25K...
