  1. Indeed, and such irony. The blonde blustering buffoon wanted to"get Brexit done" so as to have greater control over our borders. It's laughable if it wasn't such a serious blunder.
  2. My son is a chippy, so under CIS tax system. Three large jobs he would have been working on until mid summer have been pulled. In the unlikely event that he could find any work he has the problem of child care as the schools have closed. I should add that under the CIS system the government actually owes him a fair amount, as he's over paid tax, which is usual under this system. But it's too early to get the tax return in. So he, and millions like him are doubly shafted!
  3. Judging by the glowing praise on here following today's announcements, I would hazard a guess that no self employed skilled tradesmen are adding to the endorsements.
  4. I was going to renew my season card this weekend as the deadline is on Monday. With the likelihood of this season running on until lord knows when, booking your seat for next season, whenever that may start, by the middle of March, now seems a bit early to me. But I don't suppose the club will alter the renewal dates.
  5. I've read this bit several times, but I'm damned if I can fathom it out. It must be me though in my advancing years, ?. Reckon you'd make a brilliant politician!?
  6. This, it seems to me is very much a significant factor in the UK Gov's approach to this. I did some very simple/basic calculations based on Googling a few things. Let's say that there are 28 mill households and that £300 per week for each household is enough to keep them going over a shutdown period. Let's also say that a 10 week shut down should see us through the worst of this. That would cost the Gov £84 billion Now consider that they bailed out the banks in 2008 to the tune of £500 billion. All very simplistic, but makes you think how much our health is worth.
  7. So two Johnsons able to talk b/s. But I would have a lot more confidence in LJ running the country! ? BJ is a total buffoon, can hardly speak a coherent sentence. He's a real life spitting image ? Any way See you all at the Sheff W game!
  8. Good luck with that! The water and hand dryers are warmer in the Lansdown Stand loos than the Dolman.
  9. Seems very lax if passengers arriving from N Italy are not health screened or quarantined. N Italy appears to be more of a threat than China. Hundreds/thousands kept on a cruise ships, whereas travel to and from N Italy carries on unchecked, or so it appears. Never mind, wash your hands and sing happy birthday.
  10. Not sure about that. Oz has confirmed cases and it's well over 25 there in a lot of places.
  11. FGR's new stadium will be near J13 M5.Stroud exit, and yes definitely in Glos ?
  12. Not a clue what this is about. But FGR new ground will not be in S Glos.
  13. Computer Wiz kid, "Henbury Gas" hacking OTIB? ?
  14. Then restrict parking in most of the streets around the ground!
  15. How many Forest Green shirts need to be bought to put the blue few on the bottom I wonder? ?
  16. Good job that they weren't due to play Bolton!
  17. The last I read was that Cardiff were still in dispute with Nantes and were still querying the legality of the deal. I may be wrong but I haven't seen any reports of payments being made. I'm not sure if the bereaved family have received anything either. Tragic state of affairs from all perspectives.
  18. Looking like they could soon be dead and Bury'd
  19. Shouldn't this be on the non football thread?
  20. If it was 50/50, then during my 20+ years there, the blue 50% were very much under cover! Last 30+ years in Frenchay I can't recall ever seeing the "famous quarters" being worn in the locality. Didn't someone put some demographic maps on here showing the distribution off fans throughout the area, a while back?
  21. You can strike off Downend & Mangotsfield, having lived a good chunk of my many years in them, my experience confirms the " blue few". Few being the key word.
  22. Indeed. As City fans should we be carrying him shoulder high down Gloucester Rd?
