Seems reasonable. Give it a few more weeks and I doubt if there will be a choice anyway.

Just been to Tesco’s. Not a loo roll on the shelf. The lady at the checkout said people have even been nicking the loo rolls from the disabled toilets. WTF?

My thoughts too. We are just at the top of the iceberg at the moment and it be worse then. I can’t see the season resuming.

Just reading about Alex Salmond’s alleged behaviour remind me of a middle manager I used to work with a few years ago at the CPS, of all places. He had a long reputation of touching the women up. On one occasion I saw him grab one of the women’s boobs from behind. I asked her if she wanted to report it and said I would be a witness but she just laughed it off and said oh that’s just Tom (name changed, not that it makes any difference. When he retired we found a load of old Mayfair mags in his desk. My wife, who worked with him for over 30 years, told me that he used to grab her friend’s boobs (she is very busty). One day after she had had enough of it, she apparently grabbed him very hard between the legs. He never molested her again!

In speeches this week, both Trump and Johnson have been exposed as busted flushes. Under usual circumstances they have both got away with bull****, bluster and waving the flag. Now they have to step up to the plate and actually show what they are made of, both self centred narcissists have demonstrated that they are clueless when it comes to real leadership. Trump was still playing the nationalistic card through his White House address and showed himself up for what he has always been. Johnson looks so far out of his depth and comfort zone I actually feel embarrassed for him. As for the quote about being prepared to lose some loved ones before their time, what a strange choice of words. Neither of these clowns inspires the slightest bit of confidence. The only upside is that people who voted these chancers in can now see first hand what an awful decision they have made. Still, at least we got our country back.

As ever, a little ray of sunshine.

If you are going to cut the season short you can’t make any assumptions about where teams are going to finish, therefore no promotions, no relegations and no champions. It’s tough but it is fair to all. People’s lives are more important than sport.

Arteta has tested positive.

The news feed about not treating the elderly was from the Mail. Nothing on the BBC tonight other than other countries are looking at Italy’s model for battling the virus.

It’s not “big news” here but a guy a work with who is 72 so is keeping a close eye on things showed me a news feed earlier on his phone which reported that the Italians were going to concentrate their health care efforts on the young and that those over 60 would not be helped.

When you hear health officials in the thick of it in Italy condemning Johnson and Trump for their reactions so far it is more than worrying. They say that their response was just as complacent as ours currently is and look where they are now.

It is. And we are nowhere near the worst of it yet.

Why?

I listen to the news.

Gabbi has tested positive for it in Italy!

I think you need to read some of the stories from the victims Nick. Hopefully now people will feel they can speak up as and when things happen. I have just read an account from Kate Beckinsale about how he treated her after a premier. Not a sexual assault but highly abusive. Going back to your Shatner comment, it is one thing to have sex by consent, another to be raped r bullied into it.

Cortese got away with being a dreadful human being because he was relatively successful with the club. It makes you wonder what kind of grief Marcus would have got if he was still with us and we were performing as we have been.

It looks like Italy are going to let their old folk fend for themselves.

So 10 years of austerity because we couldn’t borrow? Also what happened to all of the money we were “saving” by leaving the EU? It doesn’t appear to be the amount Johnson told us and it doesn’t appear to be going to the NHS?

No need to spilt the thread Lighthouse, especially as you shut the Weinstein thread down. I’m just pleased to see him get what he deserves.

There isn’t a thread entitled big things in life that bring you joy so I am making do.

Weinstein gets 23 years.

You get through one roll a day? Either you take a lot of dumps or you use a lot of paper.

The argument that poor VAR decisions even out over a season are as non-sensical as saying that poor referring decisions even themselves out. No they don’t just as if you toss a coin 100 times the chances of it being heads 50% of the time are small.

They voted against an election at that time because the democratically elected MPs thought it best for the people they serve. Sounds like democracy to me. Unlike Boris’s definition which seems to be vote for me and I will look after my mates but stuff the rest of you.
