The fact that you can't relate to it doesn't make it bizarre and no, I haven't had a sh*t life. Far from it IMO. Having your A levels messed around, whilst no doubt stressful, is pretty routine stuff. If nothing that bad has ever happened to you, then you're extremely fortunate.

Life is unfair. When they leave school they are going to put their hearts and souls into all sorts of careers and other projects, only to see them completely collapse through no fault of their own and come away with nothing. If this is the worst thing that ever happens to them, they'll have had a much better life than me or many other people I know. No you're right, I don't. That's the best suggestion I can come up with. Given that the current plan is sending everyone back to school and killing a few hundred extra people, I think my 'clueless' idea is slightly better.

Well... it’s not though is it. We’re talking about a couple of months, which will have to be taken into account when writing exams. We will just have to test them on what they have been taught this year.

Sounds like a pretty good life lesson to me.

We aren’t cancelling their entire education, we’re talking about a break of a couple of months to help control a global pandemic.

Put in one of the worst performances I’ve ever seen against Leicester. Overall I’m not convinced he has Premier League potential.

It might be just my imagination but this photo of Cruz looks like Chris Moyles has had a few too many cans at Leeds festival, got up on stage and started ranting about how ‘it’s all the Jews fault, they control the media.’

Because mixing with 150 households is slightly better than mixing with 151.

Because what’s ‘fair’ and what will control the virus are two different things. You being exposed to 30 households is slightly better than being exposed to 32 households.

They might be if they win their next four consecutive games. I just want them to score so that our proud record of being the only team who couldn’t so so against Palace stays intact.

Many things don't work at the moment, I don't see there being an awful lot of choice.

I'd hope so. We need to go in hard with this, short term pain for long term gain.

Am I seeing things? Pogba blatantly kicked the back of his own calf there. 🤨

I just can’t fathom what they’re thinking. A couple of old fables spring to mind. The emperors new clothes - It’s as if everyone on the FA disciplinary committee is ignoring the blatantly obvious; it wasn’t in any way a racist remark. The boy who cried wolf - slowly fatigue and boredom will wear in and people will lose interest in the issues that really need tackling.

The irony of the FA showing complete ignorance and intolerance of other cultures, so that they can slap a fine and a ban on Cavani is peak ‘wokeness’. There’s a wilful and deliberate ignoring of context which makes them look nothing short of incompetent.

I believe a lot of them have two, one public for generic PR and marketing stuff and the other personal, like the whole Rooney/Vardy saga. Wasn’t it Darren Bent who’s publicist tweeted, "please tweet something like ‘great win today for the team, so proud of the lads, on to the next game!’" And didn’t bother to edit it?

Both sides suffering significant losses, then using varying criteria to claim victory.

This is like the Battle of Jutland.

Bad guy - usually an international drugs/arms dealer, terrorist, stalker or serial killer - gets captured early in the movie by special forces/police in a raid which clearly took months of planning. Bad guy is then immediately granted bail, despite being a massive escape risk and danger to the public.

Watching Jurassic Park, a film I love, and the 100ft cliff which magically appears in the space where the T-Rex just ate the goat annoys me every time. It kills an iconic scene stone dead.

No mayo for me - crawfish and rocket salad from M&S, although not at the football.

All true but they’re in conjunction with the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, which will push the total numbers up a bit.

It’s an awful thing, dementia.

Perhaps you could borrow a copy of The Sun from Delldays.

Typical fair weather doggers. If you’re not out in national trust car parks in January, you’re not a true connoisseur.
