    Alcohol deaths up 16% in 2020

    The government. I want to see data and spreadsheets for suicide, mental health referrals, self harm, alcohol deaths. We can instantly say categorically that someone died of covid even though they died in a car crash 28 days after testing positive and not question it but we can’t say right away...

    Alcohol deaths up 16% in 2020

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-55900624 Obviously nothing to do with the pandemic whatsoever. Lock people in their homes for a year as their lives crumble and then wonder why they drink themselves to death. Yet still we don’t acknowledge the cost. Pretty sure the government won’t ever talk...

    Covid - Kent strain mutates to South African strain...

    May, could, might. Time and time again tbe experts speculate and the government jump the gun, making announcements based on incomplete data or even quoting advisory groups that then turn round and say the data is incomplete. I expect nothing less than mass hysteria when someone even coughs on...

    Vaccine passports

    Sure. Anything that gets people travelling. There needs to be a global standard and plan though. Testing still has a place though. I can get a lamp (spit) test once a week for free at work. It was designed for flight crew but has been rolled out to engineering. Download the app, scan the box...

    Our strongest lineup?

    It’s the best squad we’ve had in the championship in years imo. Pace, power and finally some width and creativity. Don’t think we’ve had this amount of attacking midfield options in, well, ever. 4-2-3-1 isn’t a bad shout with the likes of Bolasie, Mendez Laing and Kebano now. We could of done...

    Patrick Roberts?????

    I’d prefer Kebano to Roberts tbf. No doubt Roberts is a talent, just not sure he has the work ethic for Warnock or fits in with his pressing and defending from the front. Unless he has the ball at his feet he’s anonymous.

    Mendez-Laing done

    Good news. We’ve only got ourselves a left and a right winger this week. Can’t remember the last time we had two proper wingers.

    Nathan Wood gone to Crewe

    Most these loans out will have recall clauses so it’s no big deal.

    Reading about to splash the cash

    It depends on the how the deals are structured. Losses for ffp are over years remember. No one really knows the ins and outs of clubs books, we are probably still being paid for players we sold 2 years ago and vice versa. This is probably the first year I can remember that Reading have spent...

    Dustin Diamond RIP

    No way. That’s awful news. Heard he was getting treatment a few weeks ago. Shocked.

    Mendez Laing

    Would be happy with this. It will be a low paid, low risk deal for a player with a point to prove and desperate to get his career back on track. We’ve gone from having no width to bringing in Bolasie and Mendez Laing in the space of a week. Can’t remember the last time we had two decent...

    Resident Alien?

    I quite enjoyed it. Tudyk is class and a very talented and funny actor (he was brilliant in doom patrol too). I find myself distracted quite easily when I’m watching tv but I didn’t switch it off or do something else whilst it was on in the background so I’ll stick with it.

    Captain Sir Tom Moore

    He’s not in intensive care, fingers crossed he makes a speedy recovery. He probably caught it from his daughter whoring him out for some event. He did a wonderful thing but at times I couldn’t tell if his daughter was his daughter or his agent... Also see MPs haven’t missed the opportunity for...

    Hobbies ?

    Fishing (sea and course), gym, collecting fossils and dogging 😉 305 lb is my biggest fish and I have a T. rex tooth from the US and a Mammoth Tusk from Siberia.

    EU slaps vaccine export ban rules on UK

    Takes a lot to unite the Irish nationalists and unionists and it just shows that project EU will be put above anything else. Even though they have backtracked the damage is already done. Politics aside, I wouldn’t swap our vaccination situation for the shambles that is the EUs, even the most...
