Were there 8 Derby players in the box?

If the office was open, what would be your question?

I think the general public might be more behind the mask policy, if it made more sense. 

Either make masks mandatory, or don't. 

I have no issues using them, BUT....

I'm usually doing shopping in a supermarket, before 7 in the morning. Sometimes before 6. The place is the size of a cathedral, and there's hardly anyone around. As I said, I've no problem doing that with a mask on, but it does seem unnecessary. I could have been in a pub or club the previous night, and that doesn't need a mask?!?

This third case in London sounds odd. The person seems to have left the country before getting the test result.

I think they'll have football with empty grounds again soon.

This will force eight other championship clubs into administration. Leaving Derby with a comfortable mid table finish .

I dont understand why you dont pcr at the airport

surely it wouldnt cost that much and you add the cost anyways would save the hassle

 

how long does it take to get the result? What do you do if it's positive?

I'm not sure this isolate thing will work well when coming into the country. Simple example of , lets say Stansted. There's a hell of a lot of people arriving there each day, that go straight down to the train station, and head down to London, then various tube or other stations. Plus a lot of coach traffic from the airport. You'd have possibly infected a lot of people even before you got home to isolate.

At least we'll get to see if all them Johnny Baddasses who said they would follow restrictions only until they were jabbed were all talk.

I hate masks more than any other measure so guess it's back to waiting in the car whenever we go shopping now. What a shame.

Do you have a personal shopper??

Convenient a new strain appears before Christmas just to stop everyone enjoying themselves. I bet another tax will go up due to the new strain.

 

Meh. I haven't enjoyed myself since about 1982.

Wonder how long before the first case of the new variant is announced in the UK.

Yes, there is no straightforward answer. I think he deserves a chance with a level playing field but i am sure there are better managers out there. It may depend on who is available at the time. I wouldn't sack him then start looking. It may sound harsh but i would be scouting for possible alternatives and may launch a 'pre emptive strike' if someone outstanding came up.    

I'm not sure when we are ever going to be in a level playing field situation.

Some have chosen not to do covid  boosters. Our local GP practice is one.

Instead they have opened up reception and you can go and book appointments for medical matters with an actual person.

Quite nice, really. It might catch on! 

Ours isn't doing covid boosters either. They were doing flu jabs. Messaged us both to make appointments, which we did. Got the confirmation of the appointments. Then 48 hours later they cancelled, saying they didn't have any vaccine. ?

Sounds like you'd need it for more than the one night. Depending on where you live!

Eddie, you might not have to wait that long. There are walk in hubs locally. You can try one and then cancel your other appointment if successful.

 

When I checked the nearest five venues , to see what vaccines they had, none of them mention the booster. Just doses one and two of the various vaccines.

Nearly burnt two of my sheds down last time I did fireworks at home.

Two of your sheds? How many sheds have you got?

Dune.

Went in knowing absolutely nothing about it. Came out pretty much the same , but somehow enjoyed it. 

First thing I've ever seen on an IMAX screen. Not really impressed. This film, like tons of other stuff , is way too dark half the time. When this comes out on streaming or disc, it'll be a waste of time for anyone who doesn't have a high end TV. 

Was also way too loud. I don't mind loud normally, but it was over the top. Maybe lack of people to absorb the sound didn't help. 8 people in there and capacity must be getting on for 300. 

I'll probably go and see part two if I live long enough. I'll take ear plugs.

Gives us a bit more of a breather moving from 1st to 3rd..can only imagine how our squad will be feeling by then lol

You believe we'll be top three by then? 

If Mr pop reads this , he'll have the RSPCA round there. Abandonment of little doggie to deal with all the trick or treat gangs. 

Where are you on dogs in pubs?

I was in a pub a couple of years ago and this covers band announced they were going to do a couple of older ones, then did Wonderwall preceded by the proclamation' this one's for the dads'.  

I know what you mean, but they had a point. Wonderwall is  about 26 years ago? So when that came out, it would be like the covers band doing a couple of songs from 1969. ?

The West Wing on All 4.

I realise I'm about 20 years late but it's brilliant.

Think Netflix House of Cards before the TV "Golden Age" was a thing.

If you're enjoying that, try The Newsroom on Now TV.

Board membership is most definitely the ‘Golden Fleece’ - but that’s when the real ‘Game of Thrones’ would start In those dark smokey corridors of inner sanctum, where they’d be sliding down those corridors with their backs firmly attached to the wall, fearful of who would inflict the swift bladed strike in pursuit of that ‘Golden Fleece’  -  that’s almost poetic ?

Get Netflix involved.?

Has anybody bothered taking up my recommendation and watching Better Than Us on Netflix.

I still think about it all the time, absolutely brilliant Russian series.

I did, (but you already know that). I've watched it all again since too ?

I don't go to away games. For those that do, how often do you see punches thrown etc , between fans, inside the stadium?
