  1. All the democrats had to do was find any straight, white, married man aged 40-60, stick him in a suit and he'd beat Trump. Instead they go with Biden.
  2. Yes, the latter. The government ones are sadly necessary as some people are quite dense and still don't get it. Next it'll be Ann Summers giving away free nurse/police uniforms to all essential staff or 30 seconds of former XFactor nobodies clapping for our heroes.
  3. Or Sofiane Boufal.
  4. The TV adverts are becoming insufferable.
  5. 'Too late' is a relative term and in this context doesn't really mean anything. Peak deaths were always going to come about 3 weeks after peak infections and peak infection was always going to be the day before the lock down, whenever it was implemented. If we'd done it a day earlier, deaths would have been fewer; a day later and deaths would have been more. Anything else is fairly arbitrary.
  6. When I was at school the 'far right' was the BNP. Then, more recently, it was UKIP. Now it seems to be a democratically elected Conservative government.
  7. Was going to suggest Darren Powell because he was always injured and terrible but it turns out he was only 29 when we signed him.
  8. His 'far right watch' website seems to back that up - 'far right' being anyone right of Corbyn and 'watch' being any rumour or hearsay which fits his opinion.
  9. Yes, that’s exactly my point. You can have no information with which to make a decision and therefore neither believe nor disbelieve.
  10. Which contradicts his earlier post There is a third option, that you are agnostic and don't hold a belief either way. That was the point of the goldfish example, he clearly has no belief either way. I don’t believe that your sister won the lottery because there is strong evidence to the contrary, I.e. the mathematical odds against it. That’s different. There is no evidence supporting or contrary to there being a god, hence it is possible to be purely agnostic.
  11. Stop posting that diagram and the bit in bold is fundamentally wrong. That is not a belief, that is a necessary truth, we know it to be possible. I asked you for your belief, you don't have one either way. In this context, you are neither theist, nor atheist. You are agnostic.
  12. He was 33 and I think he basically retired after we released him a year later.
  13. That much is obvious, the original question was not about knowledge. I asked if he believed I had a goldfish, he said he believed it is possible, which isn’t an answer. We know for certain that it’s possible I have a goldfish, that isn’t his belief. What he is refusing to admit is that he doesn’t have a belief either way and is therefore neither theist nor atheist, in this context.
  14. That makes no sense. Agnostic literally means you are neither a believer nor a nonbeliever. You can be atheist, agnostic or theist. There are (at least) three options.
  15. Same principle. You've said that you are an agnostic theist because you believe it could be possible. You have also said if you are 'not sure' you don't believe and are therefore an atheist. Will you concede that belief is therefore not a binary choice and there is a third option other than believe/disbelieve?
  16. But you said So you’re an agnostic, theist, atheist?
  17. If belief is a simple binary choice as you claimed, do you believe I have a goldfish?
  18. So you neither believe not disbelieve that I have a goldfish. You simply acknowledge that it could be possible, based on the fact that you have absolutely zero information about my house, which is essentially what agnosticism is. An invisible pet dragon would be akin to me disbelieving stories in the bible. I don’t believe Moses parted the Red Sea for example, because that contravenes known science. However in terms of there being a greater power in the universe, there is no known science, so there is nothing to contradict.
  19. Dan Petrescu
  20. Do you believe I have a pet goldfish?
  21. Still over £1.10 for a litre of unleaded last time I checked.
  22. Question for the floor - if this dip in fatalities becomes genuine and sustained and you could pick one restriction to lift, what would you pick? I think I’d allow shops to reopen but make masks compulsory in shopping centres like West Quay.
  23. 31 was nowhere near past it in those days. I wasn't around to watch him play but wiki says he played for another 7 years after signing for us, not really 'past it'.
  24. Go on then, what are your stand-out memories from Saints games where the football may have been unremarkable but something else happened which sticks in your mind. Maybe you were at Brighton on 9/11, or proposed to your GF after a home defeat by Watford. Maybe you were lucky enough to get noshed off in the bogs during a cup tie at Port Vale. I'll get the ball rolling with a couple. 0-0 draws with Bournemouth and Hull under Puel - I took my then GF to both in the hope of getting her hooked on the beautiful game. It didn't work. Leeds away in 2009. It was quite astonishingly cold. Palace away in January. I picked up what I think was Norovirus in France and spent that game being most violently sick, whilst the scores came in on my phone. Didn't give two sh*ts whether we won at the time.
  25. Jason Euell Chris Perry Chris Lucketti Radhi Jaidi Graeme Murty All past their best, some better than others.
