Launchbury out injured. Joe Marler out- personal problems. Ewels in, Tom West in !!!!!!! I assume I'm not the only person not entirely sure who Tom West is - not to knock him, more to say this whole covid nonsense has left me totally out of touch with club rugby. Having watched him a fair old bit a...

Fair play to the government and the NHS, looks like they will hit their target of 15 million getting their first jab by mid February. This covers all over 70s, all health care workers and all people with underlying health conditions. 500,000 got their first jab yesterday. Superb effort!

Seems an idea to bring them all together for 6 weeks, but why on earth in france? Bringing in 150+ players and entourages from areas where the UK variant is prevalent into the Paris seems like a ridiculous idea. Add to that an artificial playing surface that may not be fit for test rugby. Twickenha...

So do we have any idea how fast Ineos mk 2 is compared to the NZ boat?

Answer the question and try not to use a smilie Terry. Have you ever voted for the Prime Minster of the UK? The answer is no Terry, why is so hard for you to say it. Well I voted for him as Conservative leader and then voted for his party in the GE. Not sure what the tiny, pathetic little point you...

Do you deny you've never put an "X for Boris" Let's face it, you don't have the cash to live in West London. I did actually join the Conservative party for a few quid and did vote for him as the leader against Jeremy Hunt in the leadership election. So I have voted for him. I’ll accept your grovell...

Sweet move lads. :lol: We’re not the ones stuck with the Brussels clowns in charge. :lol: Yeah you have Boris running the show. :lol: Ursula speaks better English than that mumbling adulterous liar :lol: Boris is doing ok. At least we voted for him. When did you put a X for VDL? Where do you put an...

Pigdog in not knowing how Parliament works shocker

If you’re happy continuing as Merkel and Macron’s plaything while they build some sort of grotesque superstate then fine. Good luck to you.

Can't help but feel the format of the Prada Cup is left wanting. Rounds split over 2 days, 10 days of racing before the PC Finals. For a $100 million programme?! Ideally there would have been more challengers game enough to try the new boat format It is a farce. Only 3 teams could afford to challen...

Nissan to build new battery mega plant in Sunderland.

You had your opt out and rebate Do you know how much our contribution was even after the rebate? Yes. But this is the modus operandi you signed up to in the first place. We actually signed up to a trade deal and a trade deal only in the first place. EU project has always been about further integrat...

Good news from Nissan today. Looking to expand production in Sunderland.

The sight of Delors, Juncker, Tusk, Macron, Merkel etc saying to a proud country like the UK, you must do this or you cannot do this was too much for them to stomach This, although the Frenchies will protest, is quite true. Name one law or piece of legislation that was imposed on the UK against the...

This is all interesting but ultimately Brexit came down to ordinary folk not liking leaders who they did not know and had not voted for in another country saying what UK could and could not do.

But none of that negates the fact that when Italy was looking like an obvious disaster the UK and all other European countries should have closed borders and initiated hotel isolation and/or testing where possible for anyone entering the country to stop the spread of cases. Now European countries n...

I wonder how long Biden will keep going. He is ancient. Kamala Harris should step up soon. Very impressive lady.

Superb by India. Greatest ever away series win, given the circumstances?

Just saw an interview with one of the Mercedes F1 nerds helping Ineos Team UK. Sounds like they have provided an upgrade methodology like used in F1, data driven, ‘driver’ feedback driven.... fascinating. They also think they have massive improvements still to make.

terryfinch

Dean will cop some abuse, but I don't think he was at the helm when it went over. Switching sides at the time. Yeah but he made the call to tack and bear away in the squall. Coms off the boat had the main trimmer advising Barker its going to be a difficult manoeuvre and should bear away to the righ...

Looks like UK has dodged a bullet.

terryfinch

Addicted to this event now! Every day is impossible to predict. Team UK looking most composed of the challengers but their grinders (only 6 versus 8 for the other crews) working very hard. Upside is more boat trimmers and tacticians which is paying dividends so far.

AM appeared to have the wrong set up the last 2 days banking on expected forecasts and not current info. They seem under powered and made some critical errors in course navigation. I love the boats but they are complete shit in little wind. Their vmg sucks. I really don't understand the format of t...

Minorities also distrustful. African-Americans and Latinx communities displaying a lot of resistance.

Similar to UK. Apparently fake news being put out that vaccines contain pork products.

So seems this Johnson and Johnson could be the best vaccine yet. Single shot Deactivated virus and not mRNA trials likely to show 90% efficacy Ready in February The Deactivated virus in the vaccine means it's likely to work against the mutated variants. Pfizer and Moderna need to update theirs to a...

Team UK win in a ridiculously light breeze. This format of racing is ruined by light breezes. Uk 3 Italy 1 US 0.

Over 300,000 vaccinated yesterday in UK. :thumbup: Getting up to the rate needed to get all vulnerable groups vaccinated by mid February as predicted. Targetted rather than predicted. I guess it depends on the take-up rate amongst those groups, as it will take half as long if only 50% want the jab....

Have UK been sandbagging? They looked out of it 4 weeks ago. Maybe it is the stronger winds that suit them?

terryfinch

Great start for Ben Ainslie and UK boat. Hammered the Yanks and then comfortable win over the Italians. Looking very good!

I heard someone on BBC Radio this afternoon say that two thirds of CV deaths are disabled people. That can't be right, surely.
