Don't change the subject. You said that 15-year forecasts were useless. Using your impressive academic qualifications and access to sophisticated computer modelling, what do you think will happen?

So it could be even worse then?

She did really well with Japan. If we'd stayed in the EU the Government reckoned that our GDP would have benefited by £2.6 billion over 15 years (using the EU-Japan deal). The new deal will increase GDP by £1.5 billion over the same period. So a loss of £1.1 billion. Also we wanted quotas on some agricultural products to have lower tariffs. The EU already has them. Japan has said we can have any quotas that are left over if the EU doesn't use all of them.

Always seemed like a decent bloke. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55300386

Probably annoyed because his socks had shrunk in the wash.

A few in the Itchen. Presumably corporates.

I was due at 10.30 but got there at 11.00 and joined quite a long queue. The stewards were telling everyone with earlier slots to join a much shorter queue so it didn't take long to get inside. Everything was very relaxed but well-organised with no jobsworths. I'd done my form online so it was just a case of a temperature check.

I'm supposed to be there at 10.30. I'll probably be stuck in traffic 😉

There's also a bit on the Club site about having to use the NHS Track and Trace App. I haven't got it as my phone is about 3 years old. So I assume there will be some form filling to be done.

They are just following the Government regulations.

Same as mine. It says that the actual ticket will be available in 3 days.

Calling public sector workers "yoghurt knitters" denotes a somewhat immature attitude. It's quite possible to put forward a cogent argument without resorting to childish insults. It just weakens your case.

That's a very sweeping statement. I've known many managers in the private sector who didn't want to do their own jobs let alone anyone else's. Back in the summer I had to go to A&E at Southampton General with a nasty head injury. After an X-ray and 35 stitches I was given a prescription for a couple of items from the hospital pharmacy. By now it was quite late and the pharmacy had closed. I mentioned this to a passing nurse who disappeared and came back with the pharmacist who was about to go home. He opened up the pharmacy and got me items on my prescription. He didn't have to do it but he went out of his way to help me out.

They did mine in the car park.

Must be past his bedtime. He's got school in the morning.

"No one else would have faired any better"? He was part of a government that has presided over one of the worst death rates in the world (even higher than Trump's). Many other countries have done far better Not sure what he was boasting about. The vaccine was developed by a Turkish scientist working for a German/US company and is manufactured in Belgium. He says we're better than the EU countries because they want to take a longer look at the safety issues. Just hope no corners were cut.

When he was Defence Minister, they didn't call him "Private Pike" for nothing.

Talentless people I've never heard of who are described as "celebrities".

Credit to Sir Alex for sending Ralph a supportive message after "that" result which we no longer mention. Thought Holloway quite entertaining as is Neil Warnock especially if he's upset about something. Clough was the master. Don't remember any other manager being applauded by the home fans as they walked to the dugout at The Dell.

You're contradicting yourself there. If there's no evidence, you're just speculating.

I was reading some Maradona quotes. On Messi and Ronaldo he said: When Messi scores, he celebrates, when Ronaldo scores, it's like he's posing for a shampoo commercial".

I was phoned this morning checking if I wanted to be in the ballot. If you are successful, you don't go into subsequent ballots in order to give others a chance.

Even with his hand in the air, how did Maradona at 5ft 5in outjump Shilton at 6ft?

Yep, the lot of them. Everyone's always going on about their "rights". There should also be responsibilities, one of which should be to look after yourself and not expect the state to pick up the pieces of your irresponsible behavior. I'd have thought that a right-winger like you would approve.

People who decline a vaccination should sign a waver that says, if they later contract Covid-19, they do not want to be treated by the NHS.
