    The other big lesson is that it probably isn't a good idea to eviscerate many public services through dogmatic austerity but nobody wants to learn that

    Any idea which one? He's from Oldham originally so assumed he lived in the north west somewhere

    It'll be interesting though to see whether beyond the manager's interest, other clubs are willing to offer high wages for a player with his injury record. Undoubtedly their ceiling is higher than ours but it may not be much higher.

    Wales despite being much smaller has allowed its health boards to make their own decisions on the roll out. The post 2010 governments have centralised decision making to such a great extent that it's just utterly inflexible, all by Tory design to cut jobs.

    He's apologised for his own mistakes, he is not a government minister. I said this last year that it was convenient for the govt either way that he was around.

    MOTD Top 10 PL Great Escapes

    MoTD bizarrely has fallen into the trap of deleting its own history with the post 1992 focus. It's got a bit worse though, as the focus is now really post 2000 or certainly after the oligarchs had brought their dose of ruin to the party.

    Unsurprising, sounds like Jones is doing what he said he would, turning Luton into a big powerful athletic side.

    I don't have a problem with the local lockdowns being based on guidance, not really sure what the fuss is about. Lockdown #1 showed that the public took guidance as being equal to law, e.g. the limitation on outdoor exercise which didn't exist in law but did in the guidance

    Yeah, I do too but the percentage unvaccinated is still large enough to cause a major problem to the NHS, it's just hard to foresee such a rapid growth isn't it? I think some of the modelling doesn't factor in the nervousness that a lot of people have about social mixing or the continued home...

    Some of the data published is absolutely useless mind. NHS England publishes age band admission data weekly (even though it will come from the same collection as the daily reports published no doubt). It has a cohort that is aged 18-54, what the fuck are you supposed to do with that?

    Dublin is the only player post 87 I'd suggest but ultimately we achieved nothing relatively whilst he was at the club, you'd go with Regis over him any day. Robins' achieved two promotions so is a possibility.

    I've not tried that one. I enjoyed their water melon beer and most others, worth looking out for. They've got a brewery tap near Salford Quays where i notionally work, it's a decent night as they put bands on etc.
