  1. 4-0 at home to a team from a country with a population barely more than Old Trafford's crowd capacity is an underwhelming result.
  2. What was the "Covid related issue within the Hampshire squad" ?

    Therefore : "Strange how the New York Times is so easily taken in.". Whilst I appreciate how dodgy news and conspiracies can spread quickly through social media, you would expect a degree of professionalism from what Scally would call the MSM - they all seemed to be happy to put this story up, apparently without verification.
  4. The usual strong first innings today.

  6. I like Arrival as well, so he does seem to have a knack with the genre. There is also Foundation, based on Isaac Asimov's books, coming up on Apple TV, though I hope to find a way to get to see it.

    Hospitals in Oklahoma saying that their emergency treatment rooms are so full of Covid patients and people overdosing on Ivermectin, an animal wormer that some think will cure Covid, that gunshot victims can't get in.

    It could contain a permanent flourescent green dye.

    If it is a peaceful protest then OK, trying to storm an office block and injuring the Police, no. I can to a certain extent understand the XR position, in highlighting a situation of concern and asking for more immediate action, but what are these anti-vaxxers protesting about ? Nobody is strapping them to a gurney and forcibly innocculating them. Anybody known to have particated in this latest event should have a marker set on their medical records, and then if they present at hospital with Covid, should be denied treatment until they agree to the jab as part of their treatment. ( I wonder if that bang on the head has turned me into a reactionary old fart ).

    If you are "anti-vax" that is your choice, but it isn't an excuse for public protest/disorder.

    Use a water cannon to spray them with Covid.
  13. Just checked out the bike and luckily I'm in worse condition than it is. Retrued the front wheel, checked the forks ( carbon ) but they seem sound apart from paint chips. It will need a new front derailleur cable and a new big chainring - four teeth have bent about 7mm inwards. EDIT: Just uploaded the GPS track to STRAVA; there is a 38 minute difference between the "moving time" and the "elapsed time". Allowing for traffic issues, stopping for a quick feed, and phoning my wife I can probably account for about 8 minutes of that. OUCH !!!!!
  14. Twat. Read your post - you just called yourself a loser.
  15. https://www.personneltoday.com/hr/brexit-steady-flow-of-finance-jobs-to-eu-continues/ COVID has probably had a decellerating effect on the rate of people/ jobs moving.
  16. Kyle Abbott's body language stating that he is staying exactly where he is standing, don't even think of running.
  17. My son once got hit on the head by a goose whilst riding near to the wall.
  18. I can remember adverts much older than that.
  19. "I see you baby, shaking that ass".
  20. They haven't been discovered, they havd been manufactured in laboratories and particle accelerators; they do not occur in nature and for many only a handful of atoms have ever been created, and are also highly unstable - degenerating into more 'traditional' elements.
  21. Ever set out on a 55 mile ride, and after 54 miles found yourself stood next to a bike with a broken chain, with blood running down your face from your ear, thinking you may have done your collar bone, then ringing your wife, ( luckily the phone wasn't damaged ), and saying "I think I've come off, where am I ?". The last thing you can remember is a point about half a mile before the spot where you are standing, and when you take your helmet off there is a big ding in it. When you get home you find a row of tears across the back of the shoulders of your jersey. After spending almost all night in A&E I still have no idea what happened, still no recollection of that "lost" half mile, but al least the multi coloured bruising covering my left shoulder isn't hiding any broken bones, and given the number of tests the hospital did I have a clean bill of health, ( other than a stiff back, the torn ear, and the bruises ). Just grateful that it was on the sea wall and didn't happen on a main road. Oh well, time to buy a new skid lid.
  22. Glad to be of service.

    @haveigotnews BREAKING: Rishi Sunak extends the Job Retention Scheme for Dominic Raab and Gavin Williamson.
  24. True, but a late arrival does not disprove the claimed outcome. There are predictions about the loss of the Arctic sea ice, some of which have proved to be very pessimistic in timescale. However, the ice is declining, just not as quickly as the worst case scenario presented.
  25. If somebody predicted in 1998 that an event would happen by 2020, and by 2021 it hadn't happened, but by 2025 it does, does that invalidate the original claim ? Many of the predictions on ExtinctionClock may perhaps have had overly pessimistic 'deadlines', but the predicted outcomes have not been proven to be false, they may well be merely later in arriving than originally presented. For each of those predictions, have you any evidence that totally debunks them ?
