One of the great pioneers of rock and roll has left us at the age of 87.

The "good old days" eh?

The key is to keep the re-infection number below 1.0. If you can do that then the infection will gradually die out. At the moment it's between 0.9 and 0.6. If restrictions are eased and it creeps up above 1.0, the lockdown will have to be re-imposed. So it makes sense not to do anything that may increase re-infection. The rush to resume football is all about money. Void the season and start again in late summer assuming that the infection rate is still declining.

Captain Smith lived at 34 Winn Road (now a block of flats). White Star Line stopped the pay of the surviving seamen from the time that the ship sunk.

Burnley. Directors are all local and take no money. Club has no debts.

Bit of creative accounting there. Includes 37000 kits that have been mailed out but not yet used.

Our defenders will have to be at least 2m away from the opposition. Nothing different there then.

The press don't owe the Government any favours. Their job is to hold the Government to account. They were slow to take action. We even had Boris visiting hospitals and shaking hands with Covid patients. Contrast their approach with South Korea, a country with a similar population to the UK. They started testing, tracing and isolating in February and within 20 days the number of cases had peaked and was in steep decline. Their number of deaths stands at just over 250 compared to our 21000 (probably a lot more if you count deaths in care homes). Their number of daily new cases is now in single figures. The UK Government ignored their own 2016 pandemic exercise that concluded that we were very short of ventilation equipment and, despite the shortcoming exposed by this exercise, they did not revise or modify their contingency plans which had been shown to be inadequate.

Working my way through the 86 episodes of The Sopranos. First watched it about 6 years ago, just as good the second time around.

A guy I was at school with was landlord at one time.

So when we get through this and life returns to some semblance of normality, will there be an acceptance that many of the lowest paid people are in fact the most valuable to society and we would be in the sh#t without them. Supermarket staff, NHS cleaners, delivery drivers, bin men, care home workers have all shown how vital they are whereas I don't think that we've suffered due to a shortage of people in marketing, public relations, management consultants and other jobs that I fail to see the point of. Will we see these valuable low-paid people be rewarded for their vital contribution to keeping the country going? Are those pigs that I see flying over my house?

Do they realise that 5G hasn't been implemented yet?

Man City will be paying all of their non-playing staff in full, no government money.

With all of the restaurants and hotels shutting down there's a surplus of meat and fruit and veg at the wholesalers.

Panic buying seems to be easing off. Went to Sainsburys in Portswood this morning and, while some shelves hadn't been re-stocked, there was plenty of fruit and veg, meat, bread but no loo rolls. As we were down to our last 3, I went to Costco where they had loads and were sensibly restricting it to one pack per cardholder.

Indeed. Kennedy was a notorious womanizer but it didn't come out until after his death.

I was in Aldi yesterday. Loads of loo roll and pasta. No sign of panic buying. Presumably, as all of the panic buyers won't need to buy for a few weeks, there will be fewer shoppers and thing will return to normal.

At the end of the Brexit transition period we could tax aviation fuel but this would mean planes taking on as much fuel as possible at EU airports or other places where fuel is not taxed.

Loganair have said that they'll pick up the routes to Glasgow, Edinburgh and Newcastle.

Double negatives often to be found in TV soaps: "I ain't done nothing"

Good to see that our wonderful new blue British Passports are produced by a German/Dutch company who print them in Poland. https://newsthump.com/2020/02/24/all-jingoistic-****-will-now-be-manufactured-in-poland-admits-government/

I'd vote for that.

No. Too old. Too injury-prone. Big wages.
