So I just watched the first episode of the remake. Thinking it is better than the original is akin to thinking a Vesta Beef Curry is the best form of Indian food
-
I had heard the US remake was a pale imitation of the original, but now I might give it a whirl. I will report back, but it sounds to me you weren't quite clever enough to understand the original withot being spoonfed a watered down version

Utopia. The original on Amazon Prime. I don't know how I missed this in the past, but it is magnificent

What you don't understand here is that Trump isn't going anywhere. There will still be 60 million people voting for him. Much like Brexiteers these cunts are in their element when not in power but shouting bullshit from the opposition.

He certainly wouldn't have been my choice, but electorally I don't think he's that bad a choice. I mean in a sane world he would be the Republican candidate. USA pretty fucking far from sane at the moment

Both sides at it's finest, happily ignoring that one side is a literal white supremacist. Well done

The Special One vs The Special Needs One

When I used to play football in the park if the ball touched your arm or hand even if slightly or completely by accident it was tough shit, handball. I am thoroughly enjoying the new rules, I just don't think they go far enough -
This is exactly what I meant by the Republicans are playing a different game. If the roles were reversed the Republicans would do this in a heartbeat without a hint of regret. If the Dems don't sweep this election, give Puerto Rico and Washington statehood and pack the Supreme Court, then USA election going forward will be about as fair as Russia's

They've still got three months after the election to force it through no matter what happens. The Supreme Court will have a 6-3 crazy right wing majority for the next generation. The only possible chance the Dems have got is if Biden wins and they flip the senate and have the guts to increase the number of judges on the Supreme Court.

Got to get it much lower for anything like that to work. Full lockdown and full social distancing in her opinion. Masks not being mandatory everywhere sends her into something of a rage as well

As I think I've mentioned before my daughter works for PHE and her job is literally collating the infection/death statistics for the South East and presenting to the Emergency Response committee amongst others. I've just got off the phone and she is beyond frustrated as she says everybody is just saying exactly the same things they said at the same stage of first cycle, and making exactly the same mistakes Current drivers of infection are household to household, followed by school and office. Everyone ar her place is in full voluntary lockdown, and they have all the information
-
That's a bit more hopeful, but if testing is finding more instances earlier, and if younger people are driving the increase it's possible the more vulnerable havent caught it yet, then its possible the lag might be longer. Hope I'm wrong but I think it's going to get a lot worse before long
-
Also seems to completely ignore the 4 week lag between catching the disease and dying.

One of my workers is on holiday in Greece. On Monday the island he was on got added to the quarantine list. He tried to fly back early but flights were were 900 quid each. Instead he got a boat to mainland Greece on Monday and arranged a flight from a non quarantined area. So he arrives back on Thursday but I can't work out whether by the rules he has to quarantine or not. Waiting for the compliance dept to let me know.

Well if it's an error they didn't do it on purpose, and every person in the world knowing it originated in your country doesn't strike me as the perfect cover up. But hey ho, carry on

If China had manufactured the virus to attack it's economic enemies I would imagine the optimal tactic would be to release it in say New York or Los Angeles or London rather than Wuhan. Seems a silly strategic error to release your man made killer plague in your own country

Newcastle United: Club Sold To PCP - Official
spongebob toonpants replied to The Mighty Hog's topic in Newcastle Forum
There's no such thing as clean money. And making comparisons between Ashley and MBS is absolutely futile they are both sociopaths who have no regard for anyone but themselves and their money. Ashley might not have ordered anybidy murdered but he undoubtedly has caused people to die through his behaviour -
Newcastle United: Club Sold To PCP - Official

Ah well, it would have been nice to know what being the richest club in the world felt like. Like Renton I am surprised how down I feel. I can't even be bothered to be annoyed -
https://chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2020/07/a-new-start-built-on-old-lies.html?m=1 The convolutions of this logic are dizzying. Brexit must happen so that the UK parliament can take back control from the EU of something over which it did in fact have control but had foregone the right to exercise, but since it had done so then now it has taken back control that foregone right should continue to be denied parliament because it would have no fewer rights than if Brexit hadn’t happened in the first place.
