    DIYers - Concrete internal walls

    Further inspection seems to suggest it's grey plaster, possibly Thistle Durafinish. It's just a bit stronger than standard plaster and grey rather than pink!

    West End.

    I'm not overly nostalgic for it, I miss it in the context of missing the rituals that surrounded going there rather than necessarily the place itself. I disagree that it was falling to bits by 2005 tbh. From 1993 onwards every seat in the ground had been replaced, the East Stand built, a new...

    West End.

    I assume you mean built without cantilevers? Thee East Stand was a real missed opportunity. I know the route of Swan Lane meant the footprint of the stand tapered quite a bit, but it was a big missed opportunity.

    Part of me thinks the 6 month thing is a nudge rather than genuine, I certainly hope so anyway

    Forgotten Trialists and Signings

    I was there, Easter Monday and quite probably the dullest game I've ever attended. It was a nice day at least which is unusual at Boundary Park

    DIYers - Concrete internal walls

    That's the plan but need to do something about the botched wall where they've cut away the concrete for a fireplace or something and just slapped plaster on its place unevenly

    DIYers - Concrete internal walls

    The concrete rendering is full height, it's directly on to the brick. I assume the whole house is the same pretty much including upstairs, the reason why I say that is they've covered all walls with paper which is painted on. The outside is clad on top of bricks and tiled. I shall speak to one...

    Why are you asking me? I am not an advocate of the rule of 6, the 10pm closing or other various blanket rules. That said, nothing stops you meeting them for a 10 hour drinking session provided there aren't any more than 6 of you.

    There needs to be a balance between letting it rip and not completely overwhelming public services. There need to be mitigation measures. The reason we end up with blanket restrictions is that we don't have any targeted ways of stopping transmission as we have no real clue where it's...

    Indeed, therein lies the inherent contradictions in the 'let it rip' type people who don't think things through. They complain on the one hand that the NHS is shut down and not providing its usual services but on the other think it should be made to deal with the potential fallout of thousands...

    I wouldn't listen too much to Karol Sikora (shares in private firm that provides cancer services, hater of the NHS). The data on referrals to cancer treatment is published by NHS England. It seems most CCG areas are around where they were performance wise on things like the two week referral...

    The estimates of new hospital cases seem to have peaked last week and has been on the decline, but no data for today as yet.
