  1. I've just had a look and only two seats in Block 30 are available in the Kingsland. Block 43 in the Northam has plenty.
  2. I'll be there tomorrow. I shall be trying out my new seat
  3. 1.2 miles, 27 minutes according to Google Maps.
  4. What date is this? I ask because I'm thinking of booking a holiday and I'd hate to miss it.
  5. Er... What's Facebook?
  6. It’s typical of his refusal to take responsibility for his actions.
  7. In my childhood during the 1950s it was quite common to see unfortunate children wearing leg irons and to hear of people being in an ‘iron lung’ was also common. FD Roosevelt is a famous victim of the disease having contracted it in 1921.
  8. Of McCarthy or the ball?
  9. You think his Poirot was strange. We saw him play Lady Bracknell in The Importance of Being Ernest at the Mayflower. He was quite good.
  10. Nothing silly about it. It's from the Bible. Luke 4:23 to be pedantic. It's worth a read sometime.
  11. And has a tendency to give away penalties.
  12. I’ve never found the plastic seats to be uncomfortable but I do have a plentifully padded posterior.
  13. Grown adults? I see no evidence of that.
  14. And padded seats. Don’t forget the padded seats.
  15. Spoiler alert! Well that’s ruined this season for me before it’s even begun:(
  16. From those two examples Che seems to have learnt a bit of subtlety with his finishes.
  17. You do realise that when Ron says 'jabbed' he's not talking about a vaccination?
  18. But are the kids going to come out looking like Bill Gates or even worse... Donald Trump!
  19. If it affected my fertility it would be a bloody miracle! Hopefully it might even replace those blue pills. What makes you think that it would make you infertile? Hundreds of millions of doses have been administered so far and if there were any serious side effects I'm sure some would have shown up by now. I can understand a reluctance and uncertainty but why just not admit to being scared of it? You can always find a reason not to do anything if you don't want to.
  20. Or gross misconduct. Letting in a few goals doesn't count.
  21. A nominee for a Darwin Award.
  22. Slightly less than two years because you have to allow for a notice period.
  23. In Australia they are so desperate to get more vaccinated that they have changed advice and recommend Astra Zeneca for all adults. https://bbcgossip.com/australia/all-adults-in-sydney-recommended-to-get-the-astrazeneca-vaccine/?amp=1
  24. Nothing to work out. Your sample of acquaintances is very small and meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Presumably you've just paid for a renewal and are seeking a cancellation before ever going to a game.
  25. Being vaccinated protects me quite well. It’s all the unvaccinated who are at risk. If someone is not vaccinated they are a potential danger to that part of society who is also not vaccinated and to some extent to the vaccinated too. If an unvaccinated sits amongst a thousand vaccinated then he is not probably not going to infect anybody. But if he sits amongst a thousand unvaccinated and one vaccinated then he has the potential to prolong the spread of the virus and cause harm to some of those he infects, and the one who is unvaccinated can feel somewhat smug. Anyone who chooses not to get vaccinated is riding on the backs of all those who have chosen to get jabbed. It’s his privilege, but he shouldn’t be surprised if the vaccinated majority elect to impose restrictions on him. Personally I feel that anyone who doesn’t get jabbed is a mug. I have just had a look at my immunisation record and it’s quite a long list including polio, tetanus, diphtheria, Hepatitis A, pneumonia, multiple influenza, yellow fever, typhoid, shingles and some I can’t remember. The only one I had to pay for was yellow fever and we are fortunate to live in a country where healthcare is mostly free to access. I had repeated tetanus jabs when I used to play football. Catching tetanus and dying from it would be a stupid way to go.
