Good stat there - Bruce hasn't won 3 games in a row since 2009 with Wigan. Fucking hell.

Captain mild understatement

Most fuckwits just want it done and don't care or understand the nuances of the talks.

They've got a ready made excuse for the shitness now though - it's all down to Covid.

I want to go to Cyprus for the last week in March but I'll wait until I'm vaccinated before booking it - I'm tier 6 or 8 so might be pushing it but if I'm done by the start of March I'll go for it. (EU restrictions allowing).

That should have been done months ago - it seems from sequencing that the second wave has been driven by people returning from holiday. (The travel restrictions that is)

He changed his mind - don't see anything wrong with that. Throughout the whole push for a second ref the strongest advocates refused to ever consider the polls which weren't moving and refused to contemplate what would happen if they lost again because they just wouldn't accept that most leavers simply weren't budging. As I said they point blank refused to consider a compromise at any point. I don't think they're as guilty as the erg mob or Johnson but they aren't innocent either.

Owen Jones has a point about remainers - during the indicative votes it was the liberals, the snp and the change uk MPs who abstained or voted against various option that would have been palatable to most including various CU options. But the purity of holding out for another ref became the mantra that was just as extreme in someone like Swinson's case that any kind of compromise was lost.

If we're skipping any of that lot it has to be Eamonn Holmes.

I don't think it's unethical at all - I think there's a huge difference between considered deliberations like that and the callous "they were going to die anyway" rhetoric of Telegraph columnists. As someone approaching your sweet spot I am keen to get it but I don't mind waiting a couple of months.

I agree to a point but if its correct that 99% of deaths are people over 50 and that's then skewed even further by age within that then I think doing over 80s first isn't a bad idea. We all want a sensible rollout with the aim of ending this as soon as possible but reducing the daily wince at the new deaths feels good to me. I know there's a lag on infections to deaths of course.

US states - there's no squares and oblongs that angular in Africa or Asia. There are some straight lines in Africa but not as widespread as the US. I agree the empires drew dodgy borders but they weren't as straight.

I know it's tantamount to fascism but this supports one of my dark views that extreme leavers should be registered or labelled so they could be denied the benefits of the internationalism they despise. The hypocrisy of Farage and his ilk standing there taking the Pfizer jab sickens me.

It still left 20m without health care because the centrist cowards won't go for medicare for all despite its popularity in polls.

Says the bloke who got virtually nothing "done". I know he lost the senate which stymied him but maybe if he'd pitched more than fuck all he wouldn't have lost it in the first place.

I'd like to see the Oxford one firm up the 90% success figure with the dosing regime change. I might sneak into the Pfizer run as a fat over 55 with asthma.

In addition to playing Barnes in the first two games - I know Bobby is held up as infallible sometimes but starting Mark Hateley instead of Beardsley was a shocker.

I think the bill says a fortnightly review but Hancock "promised" weekly.

You're right that it was lack of over 55s on the half dose regime rather than it failing but I thought the need for more data and an extended trial just delays things a bit. Having said that if the US doesn't accept it that might make the initial UK delivery more sure. I had the impression the other two were stated to be good across the entire age range but perhaps more or clearer data is needed there too.

I was a bit depressed last night assuming the worst about the Oxford figure fiddling but you're right - 22.5 million over 55s and other vulnerable get Pfizer/Moderna and everybody else getting Oxford works out pretty well.

They're still peddling that shit about him signing for them. It is true Sheff Utd we're offered him when they signed Alex Sabella but the Mackem bullshit stinks.

Shilton is a fat cunt who cheated on his wife for balance.

I know it's easy to say for someone who doesn't do family xmases any more but waiting a few more months - maybe one of the may bank holidays rather than Easter will be fine - doesn't seem too much to ask. I realise some get togethers are "urgent" but still.

The clause the stupid cunts are using only applies to 25 named barons. That document has fuck all to do with "the people".

The 70% is the average - they've devised a dosing regime that's 90% effective. Also nobody who got the vaccine and did still get it was seriously ill which is great.
