I wasn't at York away and Schmeichal is the best city player of all time.

Even better than Andrew Cole?

When Chippy says "end of", would you stop arguing with him !!!

I am not arguing with him he is like the death statistician on here. End of.

On a separate note it looks like the angling trust representations may mean we are casting a lively line next week . Fingers crossed.

Before Covid Just imagine fishing and someone comes and sets up 2 metres away from where you are fishing . They would probably end up being thrown in!

I saw that and mentioned it in the angling thread. If anyone comes within 50 yards of me I start getting a bit angsty. I've got loads of water, river and lake, within 15 minutes of where I live now so I've got my fingers crossed. Also booked on the Wye on June 16th for a week so we'll see how it goes.

Patrick Vallance to the select committee today

It would have been "beneficial" to have ramped up Covid-19 testing quicker, the UK's chief scientific adviser has told MPs assessing the coronavirus response

A further 366 people with coronavirus died in English hospitals, a further 44 patients have died with coronavirus in Scotland and 26 more people have died in Wales

You're confusing me with Gelson's Dad perhaps.

Sir Patrick vallance been speaking to a select committee. Subtext is a 2nd peak and UK is working to mitigate against that.

I closed my FTSE deal for small profit but had to double-up on a dip to do it which was nerve-wracking as I had a large position which was under-water for a while. Going long after the market opened up 90 points was a big call. This is an easy market to trade at the moment but I am very wary of going short now. Don't want to get caught out by Covid news which could massively move the market. You could go short and then get stranded which I don't intend doing.

No wonder you want football back

Crap journalism.
I could ask is it caused by eating toast, for which the response could only be there is no evidence for it yet.

I am told if you put Marmite on the toast its safe.

Correct - for the other thread

But it is clear that some people to not understand the purpose of COBRA - what the facility is for and how it us used.

It is like the brand COBRA has become seen as having some mythical power - where special rites are performed.

Just another opportunity seen to bash the government on matters these people don't understand.

There will be plenty of reasons to criticise the government - people should not need to invent them.

It is a pandemic heading your way,you go to the meetings ffs

Sure, why wouldn't I? I've no idea whether we are having a bad flu season, but if we are then those numbers will be in there. What of it?

It has been a real mild winter,u don't know the figures but I would be surprised if the flu season has been bad,trouble is we will never know how many went down as flu when it was covid, think we have to accept we won't have exact figures for either for feb/march

Deaths were doubling every 3 or 4 days. I didn't say anything about infections. I countered the suggestion that perhaps we had 100 dead in Jan with the comment that we'd have had 10,000 dead by mid Feb. We didn't. Ergo, we didn't have 100 COVID deaths in Jan. Not possible.

When did we start testing deaths for Covid?

Prior to March Covid deaths could have been going down as Flu/Pneumonia
