    Write what you actually mean, then, instead of the usual riddles and sarcasm.

    So, you’re happy Joe Biden’s bill that would make the US slightly less neo-lib has failed, because Joe Biden is really a neo-lib and no better than Joe Manchin who is stopping Biden’s bill to make the US slightly less neo-lib? Or what?
  3. A quick Yougle suggests it’s on Paramount+.
  4. If you’re talking about current rules and guidelines in the UK, maybe. If you’re talking about the monumental burden some groups and industries have carried, and are currently carrying in other countries, through lockdowns and restrictions, it’s way off the mark.
  5. No light, Mexican lager to wash it down? /dad jokes
  6. There is no other explanation for this than big club bias. It’s f***ed up.
  7. We were just going to have two immediate family members over for xmas eve (which is the main event here). According to quarantine rules in Norway, we probably won’t be allowed to do that, even if we all test negative by then.
  8. PCR confirmed as positive. I feel awful, not from COVID, but from the fact that my six year old son almost certainly has to spend xmas in quarantine because I had (effectively) a sinus infection the week before. None of the other two in the house are experiencing any symptoms, almost a full week since mine started. They’re getting tested tomorrow, but you’d think they’d have been showing symptoms by now.
  9. Absolutely. And, even more importantly, vaccinate the world.
  10. Won 3-2 in the end. That is one inexperienced and unglamorous Barca side, though. Is Xavi doing a complete rebuild? Or is it just the result of a bankrupt club and a depleted squad? Or both?
  11. This definitely wasn’t meant to lead down a path where I end up defending Bayern. I was emphatically saying an «f RB Leipzig!», not an «f RB Leipzig and yey Bayern!» It’s just that RB are a) actively mocking the German membership model and b) part of a group that has committed unspeakable crimes against football. Which means they should be nowhere near the professional end of the German club football pyramid, let alone the higher echelons of European football. Bayern can go do one for all I care, but I recognise their right to be part of the league.
  12. Again, no love for Bayern. But again, they are 50+1? Which, if they are, make them just a trifle more palatable than RB.
  13. Surprised to see Blackburn flying high. Even more surprised still to see Tony Mowbray still in charge there.
  14. I was gonna say, the only slight diffence from your ordinary light winter cold, is that maybe it’s lasted a bit longer. Maybe. Still not even a week, mind, but I’m not usually ill for more than a couple of days. Then again, I probably wouldn’t have usually classed myself as being ill with my current symptoms.
  15. Looking forward to starting Witcher s2 tonight. Most recently finished Only Murders In The Building on Disney+. A kind of true crime satire, light comedy and decent whodunnit, starring Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez. I enjoyed it. Harmless bit of fun, and kind of clever at times.
  16. IF I have it, which is likely given the positive lat flow test, I have to say my symptoms have been/are incredibly mild. Like your ordinary common cold or mild sinus infection, the kind where most people before COVID would have just laboured through and gone to work. Awaiting the PCR results now.
  17. Got no love for Bayern either. But aren’t they at least 50+1? Everything RB can get in the sea.
  18. Much like COVID, that show really didn’t need another season.
  19. Probably for the best, from a Villa point of view. If the virus is spreading at BMH, we probably wouldn’t be in great shape fitness wise anyway. That said, my own covid isolation just got even bleaker. F*** this s***.
  20. Wish I could! Too late, probably, and the wife made it very clear she’d rather we all get it than her be a single mom for a week. And we don’t have a loft Joking aside, according to Norwegian rules, they still have a mandatory quarantine period of one week minimum, even if they are symptom free and test negative.
  21. Thanks. But quarantine rules for family members probably means the wife and Zen jr. are stuck, even if I’m in the clear by xmas.
  22. I’ve been having a slight cough and a runny nose all week. Did a lat flow test monday night, which was negative, but stayed home from work anyway, to be sure. Did another lat flow today, which came up positive. Feeling just fine, but am fearing that xmas is buggered for me and the family.
  23. And that seems entirely fair. But it’s equally fair to discuss and raise concerns about panic and overreaction.
