  1. I note the attempt to rehabilitate alleged ephebophile Andrew in the wake of his father's death.
  2. Lucky page 11 - and 11th place still a possibility! Oh no, first post on page 12 - ain't life a bitch!
  3. It was reported that we had made an offer on Dec 22 (just checked) and that we were hoping for a reply within a week or so... He's not staying, but then come the end of the season there's always one or two players in this category (at every club), I'd still play him and wish him all the best when he leaves.
  4. How many times to I have to remind you that there is no benefit for the ONS in providing inaccurate figures while there is clearly a benefit to the government in providing artificially low figures? Why do you think the government's figure is more accurate and once again why would the ONS provide inaccurate figures and numerous respected scientist back them as being correct? Even the Daily Mail knows which figure is correct... UK's real Covid death toll hits 150,000, according to the Office for National Statistics | Daily Mail Online **************************** Yeah, sure the public at large haven't been blameless during the pandemic, I don't think I've ever said otherwise, but given the clusterfuck of gammon prevarication the government chose to follow during the first 9 months of the pandemic I still say the bulk of the blame like at the top. Are the following unanswerable gripes, saying we should have followed the majority advice of the government's scientific advisors all along and that now we have a roadmap out of lockdown we should stick to it? I'd say No & No.
  5. Flawed/Lied - OK I'll concede the semantics - now why would they produce incorrect figures? All the examples I gave in the previous post were predictable & were predicted, up until Lockdown3 the government consistently chose the gammon options - which cost people's lives. Different politicians in different countries making different mistakes doesn't change this.. Old ground indeed but then you've never had any convincing answers.
  6. Everyone's got an agenda, even you I daresay. My opinion is that the government's preferred count is wrong and I've cited organizations and Scientists who have provided a more accurate one, I trust them above a proven liar with a reason to minimize the death toll and his gammon acolytes. Once again I'll ask the question you've never answered - why would the ONS & the scientists who've backed them lie? None of these blunders below can be put down to hindsight The "non policy" of herd immunity that meant we went into Lockdown1 too late Not making mask wearing compulsory in enclosed spaces compulsory coming out of Lockdown1. Going into Lockdown2 too late (go back to Oct4/p323 of this thread) England coming out of their second lockdown too soon and putting London into Tier2 when the new variant was exploding down there - how many lives did that cost BJ? The Christmas fiasco (again go back to Oct4/p323 of this thread) Any suggestions that the Covid getting worse over the winter was not foreseeable/inevitable and that the peak would be in the "flu season" Jan/Feb are apologies and not very convincing ones at that!
  7. The 150,000 deaths is not my "one sided view" it's the ONS figure and shared by many leading scientists who have no axe to grind, unlike the government who after a number of changes conveniently settled on the lowest figure - in reality as I said the total currently stands at 150,000 UK Covid deaths. As for spinning BJ as "some sorta hero" it's already happening, there were no mistakes. just unfortunate decisions that can only be criticized with the benefit of hindsight (Keir Starmer = Captain Hindsight) and a vaccination success which could not have happened without Brexit, conveniently forgetting that the program started before we "left" @antrin and implemented under EU emergency protocols
  8. I only have a limited number of changes of underwear - is there much likelihood pf this happening?
  9. The government's gammonesque policies wrt the pandemic from March-December 2020 were a disaster and the reason for many of the 150,000 Covid deaths the UK has suffered - that's all been pointed out before. Since then a combination of a successful vaccination program and a third lockdown has brought the situation back under control. We currently have a route out of Lockdown "dates based on data" which I see no need to change. It would've seemed incredible 3/4 month's ago but our leader and self-styled "King of the World" is likely to come out of this smelling of roses!🌺
  10. Hampden to be open in June for last year's Euro Championships - prob'ly. Euro 2020: Hampden gets approval for 12,000 fans at each game - BBC Sport
  11. Yup - A truly Boormanesque fillum which initially received scathing reviews altho it's reputation has since improved among the SYFY community. It's now a bit of a cult fillum... *********************** Probably his masterpiece, featuring Helen St. Mirren in a fetching metal corset!
  12. The Saint - yup Covid has reduced me to watching one of Roger Moore's pre-Bond career highlight's - as usual it's "the bird of the week" whom Simon has to rescue that's the most interesting part of the show. Shirley Eaton & her cleavage!
  13. ...and a man in a red leather nappy isn't porn? PS - Despite being well into the bald stage of his career Shir Shean was sporting a pony-tail wig and the Scotland's second best porntash from the 70s!
  14. I opened the link and saw Sean Connery in a red leather nappy...
  15. Great result for us today, looking at the tournament as a whole Ross County are the only top flight side to be put out so far so it looks like we'll have to do it the hard way - bring it on!
  16. Well that's a slightly different argument and one that after a blissful shower where I washed my opulent hair with Raspberry Shampoo followed by Lemongrass & Mandarin Conditioner not one that I care to challenge.
  17. I was just saying the calculations were relatively straightforward and unlikely to waste much time, although how anyone could consider time spent on mental arithmetic a waste is beyond me! As an aside. and like my comedic hero Ronnie Corbett. I do like to drift off-topic - is it not a pure fanny of a scandal that our public health stattos in Scotland are taking 4 days off and won't be updating us on the pandemic until Tuesday when they will no doubt return hungover and with chocolate smeared on their nipples.
  18. Will be burning bread tomorrow so I'll get this in early -COYS1
  19. The calculations were relatively simple - give bottom place Hamilton 5 wins, next bottom Killie 4 qnd so on...leaving us with a Eurovisionesque Nul Points to add to our total! I'm impressed with @Slartis plan to best Well in our next league game - that would leave us 8 pts ahead of them with only 4 games to play. *********************** General question - do we want the final game against Utd. to be a 7th/8th place decider or would we prefer it wrapped up (either way) before? *********************** Torturous Pun Alert - I prefer Burlesque to Eurovisionesque!
  20. Is it the bribe aspect you object to or the worry that you'll be asked to pay for it 6/12 months down the line?
  21. It's not really an equal comparison though England comprises 83% (last time I checked) of the UKs population and policy is skewed to the SE of England, even Ruth Davidson admitted this while the EU comprises a number of successful countries whose populations are in the 5-10M range - the EU is much more mindful of it's smaller members than the UK.
