Maybe, but I find it hard to believe that being a professional athlete doesn't have a positive effect on life expectancy. Surely the best way to gauge the effects of heading would be to compare outfield players to goalkeepers, both are professional footballers with similar lifestyles the only difference would be one lot don't do headers. It may be that the lifestyle you mentioned (being very fit then letting yourself go and hitting the bottle) is a big influence on wether you die from it.

3.5 times more than who? I don't doubt that there is a link but doesn't the fact that footballers are professional athletes mean they are more likely to be fitter and live longer than the average person so are bound to have a higher percentage of deaths from a neurodegenerative disease? If outfield players are 3.5 times more likely than goalkeepers then that would show the true effect of heading.

No shit. Most behaviour of football fans is for the play ground.

Fuck me it’s not rocket science, a lot of England fans don’t like him because his cheating knocked us out the World Cup. It’s really not that hard to understand.

This is a good write-up of the whole shit-show: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-election-overturn/2020/11/28/34f45226-2f47-11eb-96c2-aac3f162215d_story.html Trump was, in the telling of one close adviser, like “Mad King George, muttering, ‘I won. I won. I won.’ ”

Me me me!

That wasn’t opinion it was facts.

There is not one thing posted on here I give the slightest shit about, I only looked to see what the latest thing you were wetting you pants over was.

Like spending your day starting pointless threads about racism on a football forum?

I can’t believe I wasted 10 minutes of my life watching that, zero evidence of fraud yet again. It was an extraordinary election but it was always going to be with a complete fruitcake in office and taking place during a pandemic.

He was a cheating cunt, I hated him at the time because Shilts was my hero as a kid. You have to admire his football though, and his passion for the game and country, plus his mental lifestyle.

I'm not sure it will work like that. Most people will just read the words 'it's OK to meet up at Christmas' and just rip the arse out of it. Plus you have all the people of other religions who were not allowed to celebrate their religious festivals who will just say fuck you and do what they want for the whole of December.

What about the 10% or so of the people that the vaccine doesn't work for?

As long as there actually is a proper debate ie: between experts in virology. Not the worlds best scientists vs a bunch of conspiracy theory whack-jobs who have no interest in actual science. Reminds me of the climate change ‘debate’.

We can create more money every day but fact is at any one moment in time there is a finite amount in circulation. Anyway, my point was that if I build myself a website and make a Billion quid it is all money I have taken from other people, it’s just moved from their account to mine. By getting rich in itself I havn’t created any wealth.

Think you're confusing money with wealth.

This. I'm looking forward to not seeing the in-laws this Xmas.

How is that incorrect?

No, I have no idea what his bank balance is, that's why I used the word 'if'.

Of course you can to an extent, that's what tax has been doing for ages. At any one time there is only ever a finite amount of money - if a few people have most of it then most people will have less, that's simple maths. Every penny Jeff Bezos has made he has taken from someone else, it hasn't appeared out of thin air by magic. If he has £180 Billion sat in his bank it's £180 billion that is not in other people's. The same amount of money shared out would mean 180,000 millionaires.

Yes. If the vaccine is 90% effective then one in ten are still at risk is some selfish cunt is going around spreading it.

Another big difference is that the only way to stop this virus spreading is a vaccine so by refusing it you are endangering others.

Aren’t symptomatic people at or near their most infectious just before they develop symptoms though. That’s what I have read and what makes it Particularly bad. I think when you are most contagious with the flu you are usually in bed feeling like shit, with Covid you are just out and about like normal.

Let’s hope so.

I wasn’t boasting or am not particularly happy about the situation, I just don’t have an issue with helping out by paying more tax. It’s pot luck as to wether you’ve been able to from home, had to be furloughed, or been made redundant - I don’t see it as fair to make certain people foot the bill when we are supposedly to be all in it together.
