Carroll seemed like a panic buy from FSG (who'd not long taken over). After Torres going, signing the current flavour of the month was more about PR than anything else- they didn't want to be seen as asset strippers like Hicks and Gillett.

To be honest they look like bellends with more money than sense rather than winners. My missus is a fitness instructor and does or teaches various classes from kettle bells to spin to bootcamp-style circuits. The people you're thinking of, along with the muscle Mary poseurs and sted heads, are objects of ridicule to her and her fellow instructors. These are generally not particularly fit but have massively overtrained in a specific area and are very weak when asked to do something else. Think of your bodybuilder who can barely run or a runner with cheese string arms and a weak back who puts massive pressure on their knees because their posture is shit. Spending a fortune on a Peloton bike and the sub and revelling in 'muh gainz' is pointless unless you combine it with something else.

Hearing he just called Johnson a cunt and said he'd kick crap out of him after next week's PMQs. Nice to see some spirit.

Despite the ugliness of the band, I'm standing in solidarity with Mook.

Not even sure that was a corner, it looked like Beek had run the ball out

Hilarious. If you know yer 'istory, tables never used to get published until 3 games in.

Shouldn't you be 'Mildly Peeved in Sefton' now?

It's ridiculous, especially considering the open source German app- https://github.com/corona-warn-app

World beating.

Fuck me. I would ask where the police are, but I guess they're either with these apes or busy cracking unarmed protesters' skulls.

Now now, I'm sure they'll take it as seriously as their student fees pledge if God help us they ever get the chance to be part of a government again.

My eldest had his first year at Uni last year. We paid his rent to help him out so he could concentrate on studies and enjoying Uni life- £6K for 9 months for a pokey, basic room which looked worse than the place I was in in the early '90s. For this year, he's got a flat with his mates- rooms are at least twice the size, massive bathroom and well-equipped kitchen, it's barely 100 yards from his old campus room and it's half the price. It's absolutely infuriating that these money-grabbing wankers appear to have done absolutely fuck all to protect kids moving away from home for the first time. No contingency plan for this inevitability, nothing. Where's the duty of care?

As if Johnson would be anywhere near the front line. Heseltine had it right- "A man who waits to see which way the crowd is running and then dashes in front and says 'follow me'".

I think it could be the steroids. Both myself and my sister take methotrexate for rheumatoid arthritis (albeit in much lower doses than a cancer patient would). She's also been on steroids for quite a while as her condition is more serious; she's a teacher, and was immediately put on the high risk list and told to self-isolate. I was only told to do so after I was prescribed steroids following a flare up close to when lockdown started, and was told it would need to be 8 weeks before I could do anything. I can vaguely remember some list where you got points for various conditions/ medications, and the steroids put me over the 'limit'. Anyway, hope she stays well, along with the other elderly relatives mentioned.

Yeah, I think the ONS data is about a week or so behind. As you say, it's a single data point but it's something at least.

Fingers crossed, at that rate it could peak in a few weeks and actually start to decline.

Aye, at the same time, we had Johnson dodging COBRA meetings, saying that us brave Brits could 'take it on the chin' and shaking hands with potential Covid patients. Smoking's a good example of how bought and paid for scientists- vociferous, but in a minority- can confuse the public over the safety of something with bullshit and allow a view opposing the general consensus to become normalised. See also climate change deniers and the likes of Sikora and Gupta now. These aren't trailblazing geniuses that have spotted something 99% of the scientific community missed, they're cunts.

From about 4:20 here- The full scene is much longer and can be found on your favourite porn sites. Tits only, but pretty good for a TV show. The actress is Amy Beth Hayes-

True, but that's entirely due to the response of the government- it dithered and locked down way too late, hence had to lock down for far longer than if it had gone early, ruined the collective response with the Cummings debacle, and then opened things back up too early with still significant numbers of infections and track and trace nowhere near functional. If we'd done it properly, we could potentially be in a position where we're just suppressing localised outbreaks with much of the place back to relatively normal, instead of re-imposing restrictions on the whole country. As it is, we're between a rock and a hard place with all avenues leading to some degree of shite.

Thanks for the recommendation, really enjoying this now. I just finished series 1 last night. The only reservation I have is that there weren't a lot more sex scenes with 'young Ruth' like in episode 2... Nice 'spot the Game of Thrones actors' bit in the first few episodes too.

Yes, you should...

Well, you'd better get on to King's College, the Scottish and Welsh governments, the NHS, the DHSC and God knows how many other departments and bodies that analyse or supply data with your devastating revelations as I'm sure no one will have considered that and corrected for it.

I'd send it to Zoe, I'm sure they'll be astounded at their obvious error.
