I agree, it would be unforgivable to continually undermine the party leader and form a breakaway party...

It's just the reverse of what was flung at Corbyn- i.e. why didn't he win in 2017 (even though Labour started the campaign 20-odd points behind) and why wasn't he x amount of points ahead of one of the worst UK governments ever. Stupid, really, the trend is very encouraging and it's not going to shift into a massive Labour lead overnight despite how bad the Tories are. I wouldn't be too exercised about 'Corbynistas' not voting for Labour because they're not pure enough, these are a pretty small group. Getting those who voted Brexit back onside is going to be the bigger challenge.

The first 3 are fantastic, 4 was a bit disappointing as it had 3 shorter stories rather than one long one. 5- the one based in Manchester with a criminal called 'The Street' was pretty shit. 6- about Bosnia- wasn't bad but nowhere near the quality of the first few. 7 was really good though, with a washed up Tennison barely hanging on.

Without taking dozens of seats off the SNP, there's no chance of Labour winning an outright majority. The party's pretty much dead up here now.

I think so, yes. Just had a look through the Britain Elects Twitter and more recent polls have a small Tory lead or the parties level, so this was likely a bit of an outlier.

He looks fucked.

Gerrin there Vicky.

Like dexamethasone (first synthesised in 1957 and its efficacy in serious cases of Covid proven by the NHS) or Remdesivir, made in 2009 under the Obama administration.

They'd do it in Word.

Isn't it just? Aside from cutting off rows, Excel can do all sorts of things you don't want it to from reformatting dates to stripping leading zeroes off identifiers. I bet they were opening it in Excel and sticking a date filter on to get the latest data, then pushing it into a database, which suggests they haven't even got a proper SSIS package or loader script set up, something you'd think would have been the first thing developed.

Dear God, what amateurish clowns. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/oct/05/how-excel-may-have-caused-loss-of-16000-covid-tests-in-england

You should change your name to Harry Kewell you malingering git.

No idea what they were doing. For my work, we load and manipulate from a hundred thousand up to a few million rows per day for customers, so it's not really 'big data', but Excel doesn't come anywhere near anything- it's text, csv or XML for the raw data, SQL Server for storage and Reporting/ Analysis Services for customers who want to drill down into the data. The only people who would use Excel are managers for their internal monthly reports.

Hahaha-

WTF? Are they using an early version with 256 columns or something? I think they might be, 256 days or so ago was the last week in Jan. And why the fuck would they have dates in columns rather than rows? And why aren't they using a frigging database? No wonder they couldn't correlate stuff properly.

Bit harsh from the Mail-

Sounds like a porn film plot, Mature Nurses Get a Prick.

On the bright side, those 2 away goals could be crucial come the home leg.

I'm pretty sure Origin (EA's shit version of Steam) also give it away from time to time. If you're after a good city builder rather than SimCity 2000 in particular, Cities Skylines is probably the best one these days in that mould- https://store.steampowered.com/app/255710/Cities_Skylines/ - and it regularly goes on sale for cheap.

It's just the first series on there at the moment. Had a look around, and it was on TNT, whatever that is, and should come to Netflix some time in October- https://www.radiotimes.com/news/on-demand/2020-07-14/the-alienist-season-two-release-date/

Is this on any of the streaming services? I enjoyed the first series, and didn't even realise there'd been a second.

Just a rounding error.

It's sort of half-true- https://www.theguardian.com/film/2009/oct/13/making-of-alien-chestburster They knew something was going to happen, but hadn't seen what the Alien was going to look like.

Fortnite, I take it.
