  1. And in response to your initial query if anyone can explain the levels of CO2 compared to temperature, start with this... https://www.nature.com/articles/srep21691 "We use a newly developed technique that is based on the information flow concept to investigate the causal structure between the global radiative forcing and the annual global mean surface temperature anomalies (GMTA) since 1850. Our study unambiguously shows one-way causality between the total Greenhouse Gases and GMTA. Specifically, it is confirmed that the former, especially CO2, are the main causal drivers of the recent warming." But yeah, let's just accept the word of a blockchain-selling Trump supporter instead.
  2. Jeez Scally! Did you even bother to take one second to research who this guy is and what is agenda is? https://twitter.com/Gary_Bernstein Yeah, he's totally qualified to be contradicting the entire world's climate science community isn't he
  3. TBH mate, I really don't care as long as I get to watch the team I grew up supporting playing decent football and competing. I'm sorry* if that makes me not a real fan in your eyes. It's not like we haven't changed our name or our badge before. * - I'm not sorry at all. I don't give a toss what you think really.
  4. Edit - duplicate post
  5. It's very interesting to read about your experience with Citalopram, and thank you for sharing it with us. My wife is currently trying to get off it after she was put on a 'short course' of it when she experienced post-natal depression after the birth of our daughter. That was six years ago, and she now believes she wasn't really suffering from PND anyway and just had a short-term hormonal imbalance (to which she has always been susceptible). She has never quite been herself since going on to citalopram, and the really frustrating thing is that doctor's seem very quick to dish it out to people, but are absolutely hopeless when it comes to giving appropriate advice on how to come off it. Initially, she just tried to reduce her dosage, but found that she had an awful reaction to that and even suffered a manic episode, so she immediately went back on to her prescribed dose. She tried desperately to find support and guidance on how to come off it, but there was just nothing (not in our area anyway). She is now on her third attempt and reducing the dosage so gradually that it will have taken her two years by the time she's finally free of it. Every time she drops her dose incrementally, she has a severe reaction - dizziness, brain-fog, headaches etc... so the cold turkey approach is off the table for her. Mental health is such a complex issue that requires bespoke solutions for each sufferer, but GPs only really seem interested in using a one-size fits all approach and prescribe something that ends up not being appropriate. Whether that's due to lack of awareness, lack of funding, time pressures, or a combination of all of them, it's a very sad situation that we now find ourselves in. I have had my ups and downs, but I am resolute that I will never go onto anti-depressants because, without exception, everybody I know who has gone onto a short course of them is still physically addicted to them to this day. As SOG points out, the human nervous system did not evolve to cope with the pressures of the 21st century western world, and it never will. The way I see it - if everyone needs medication to fit in to the system, it's the system that needs changing. We need to all slow down and stop operating at hyper-speed and wanting to be fully connected all the time. Our bodies just aren't designed for it. I read somewhere that the average person living in medieval times would, in their entire lifetime, absorb as much information as is printed in a single daily edition of the NY Times (or something along those lines). We are constantly bombarded with information and adverts telling us to buy more, spend more, want more. The bubble needs to burst, but sadly it won't - it will just keep getting bigger.
  6. Season 2 of Altered Carbon is out on Netflix now. Only watched the first two episodes so far but it looks decent. Got a new lead actor playing Kovacs, but the whole premise of re-sleeving means this fits perfectly well into the AC universe. Still got the AI hotelier guy though, and he was great in season 1.
  7. Every ball in is just far too easy for their defenders to deal with.
  8. And then we go from Armstrong having the ball in a good position on the wing to passing it around at the back - again.
  9. One of those days today. every single deflection or loose ball seems to fall to WH. No lack of effort from Saints today but just a lack of quality and luck. And then Long does that when he's in a great position and under no pressure. Absolutely dreadful.
  10. F*cksake. Stupid foul. 3 players around Haller and he's going nowhere.
  11. Our record against them in recent years has been really poor. No matter how bad their form, we never seem to get a result against them.
  12. Great. Just what we need to shore up the defence.
  13. F*ck me. That was so blatant by Cresswell it should be a straight red IMO. And yes, before MLG comes on to correct me, I know that's not in the laws of the game.
  14. Jesus. All that possession in their half - give it away and straight away they should have scored again. Utterly shocking defending from us today.
  15. Dear oh... Why do we always fall to pieces against this lot? How can they look so bad against everyone else but look so good against us?
  16. Those 'handball' decisions going against Bournemouth were f*cking ridiculous. Both quite clearly off a shoulder and never in a million years handball. The people operating VAR have lost the plot now.
  17. If you'd seen what the weather was like here this morning you'd understand why lots of people will have decided to stay at home and watch it on TV instead.
  18. I reckon today's games could get postponed. The weather up here is atrocious today - storm force winds and torrential rain.
  19. And the main reason for that being that we had Vestergaard on at CB, and Romeu's legs had gone, which left us far too open and easy to get at through the middle.
  20. Because they are too scared to overrule their mates, so will do anything to avoid having to. It's ridiculous.
  21. Thoroughly sh!t night all round then. Lose to a very dodgy penalty after putting in an immense performance, out of the cup and potentially lost JWP for the rest of the season. If Carling did FA Cup replays.
  22. Never. And the fact that VAR checked it and agreed with the ref is just infuriating. What a travesty. It's such a clear and obvious dive from Son. Trailing leg left out, flying over already and no contact whatsoever. F*cking cheating pr!ck.
  23. That's a blatant dive from Son. Clearly already going over before there was any contact (if there was any at all!) And there it is. Cheating c*nts.
  24. Ref just giving out yellows for every foul now. It's getting silly.
  25. We look knackered now. The chance has gone I reckon. We'll pay the price for not holding onto that lead.
