  1. I think the "two weeks" bit is you won't get a passport (under the vaccination branch of the eligibility options) until 2 weeks after your second jab. At some point they will make it the booster jab that counts, no doubt
  2. Is this how it works with the COVID-averaging? I thought it was 13 + (35 + 13)/2 + 13 = 50
  3. Sorry, but they use "short form billions" these days - so it is 10% of his wealth, not 0.1%. Also you are comparing his wealth to your available cash - I very much doubt he had £150 million in loose change down the back of his very expensive sofa. There were several sales of H-L shares reported at the time if I recall
  4. The only thing I can think of here, is with the -12 from admin as well, is the EFL view that they will get relegated without question - so adding more to the points deduction is not going to make any difference? If so, then the extra conditions are what makes a difference and they appear to be more stringent than for Reading
  5. I'm lucky in that my work offers a salary sacrifice scheme which with the government rules on the benefit in kind tax effectively means I can lease it for half the headline price. many people are not so lucky or couldn't afford it even if their employer ran the scheme. We need two things to really get people to move over in large numbers: 1. a functional second hand electric car market. That will probably be a few years away, as it will need some of the current new models with better ranges (mine does over 300 miles on a full charge) to come onto that market 2. sufficient on-street infrastructure to allow people with no driveway to charge their car. There is a Post article that converting lamposts to work as charging points was "coming soon"...in November 2017! The chargers in many local park carparks now charge £1 plus 30p per Kwh, a lot more than your household electric but apparently if they used the right scheme it would be possible to get this electricity directly billed to your household account as if you were plugged in on a driveway. An alternative would be to allow culverts to be installed into a pavement (at a sensible cost) so that a charge cable can be run to the car without causing a trip hazard
  6. Those who are giving him a hammering for sitting in the stands might also need to reflect on whether it is because he has been trying to struggle through whatever illness he is dealing with, rather than not feeling the need to be in the technical area barking instructions
  7. Given the number of times this season that we didn't hang on, I would call that an improvement, albeit one that doesn't help our hearts. This win is like a striker ending a goal drought by having the ball go in off his backside, lets hope that the result is the end of our particularly poor run of home results rather than a flash in the pan
  8. Cue some clubs giving lessons on how to "fail" the concussion protocol on the correct sign from the touchline...even with an enforced layoff for following matches

    The problem with "All lives matter" isn't the words themselves - in isolation they should be clear and obvious to all. It is the context of how they are used as a rebuttal of the "Black lives matter" line. If only the phrase used had been "Black lives matter too", then we wouldn't have this as a linguistic issue where a conflict between the two phrases is generated
  10. Get well soon NP! Hope this is as mild as possible and at least nobody will be moaning at you for not being on the touchline....
  11. I won't dismiss that out of hand, but you have seen counter-arguments here already. Yes, the income will have dropped for sure.... but the same is true for all of the clubs in the championship (parachute clubs excepted perhaps) - none of them have had income from tickets or hospitality/commercial streams. SO the question to ask is why Derby and not most of the clubs? For that the answer most would jump to would be the "shenanigans" that Mel got up to chasing the dream.
  12. urgh, that ad-strewn forum just served toremind me what a gem we have in OTIB... renewed earlier in the week, a fiver very well spent
  13. Genie: "You have one wish" Gashead: "Make me immortal" Genie: "Can't do that, ask for something easier" Gashead: "make me live to see the Gas overtake the gurt 'Teds" Genie: "Immortality it is then..."
  14. Looks like they are trying to out-tinpot the Gas
  15. Interesting to note a methane snorter appearing in the comments for that article to try to take credit for Connor Roberts scoring at the euros, on the grounds that he had made 2 appearances for them 5 years ago....
  16. That was truely scarey - I was in the middle of that mass with my then-girlfriend....she's never been to a football match again and took some serious persuading before i was allowed to take my eldest for his first match edit: with tickets, of course - can't remember if everybody had them and they had been oversold, or some turned up expecting to POTD
  17. unfortunately the bolded correction is more accurate I think. That isn't even a comment on whether such measures are a good thing or not, more that a high level of compliance will be needed for permission to start to return to be given
  18. When (no idea timescales) they do start to allow fans back in, I can imagine it would be a nightmare trying to work out who sits where. We have five STs from one household so it would be fine for us to sit all together - but how many small groups are booked by one person but are from multiple households...
  19. 600 STs.... about where we were after hour one of the first day of renewals... or am I underestimating our side of the equation?
  20. The Beeb must be slipping - why doesn't this article wax lyrical about "Da Famous QuarterZZZ" https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52224708
  21. Free to leave, yes I can see that. But if the league rules preventregistration at another club at the time, then freedom to move will be limited I would think
  22. Given that the runway is not operational any more, that would put it in the same category as just about anything to do with that sickening excuse for a club ****ing useless
  23. Chickenpox twice - yes, 100% First time around my brother was plastered, I had a few spots but not many. Second time around, I was plastered even more than my brother had been This one? No, not once and I'll try to avoid it having diabetes....
  24. Unfortunately true - I had it twice... apparently the first time was very mild sonot enough to give me immunity, I made up for that in spades second time around. I was told on Friday that I was to be working at home for the foreseeable future, guess I'm one of the lucky ones that can. It also means when the kids' schools are shut (one is from tomorrow, only partial but affecting his year) it won't affect my wife and her 111 shifts
