Great thread. Pity you guys are all too young to have been knocked over by this stuff when it first erupted onto the (very small) pop music scene. I was a teenager then. The really sad part of it all, to my mind, is that we were not exposed to the real thing at the time, most of what we heard was s...

Thanks Niegs. Good work. ( The Platters are on my list at No.2 8) ) You are right, it was the Penguins. That version for Back to the Future was a cover version for the movie I think. Great scene that one. :thumbup: Love the Platters. Tony Williams was one of the best pop vocalists of all time IMHO....

I've been rewatching some fights since there's nothing happening. The Inoue-donaire fight is top quality, but fights are wasted in Japan. The audience sit there in stony silence even for a home fighter, it's bizzare, you can hear every word from the corner. Sky sports mix had on an Azumah Nelson fi...

An angry aggressive president who is making increasing bizarre statements as he ages I can't make my mind up whether you mean Biden or Trump. At this point the line of succession for the presidency is 1. Mike Pence. 2. Nancy Pelosi (holy shit) And you all wonder why Trump still has supporters??

Whiling away the time here...... given that TDS is so prevalent, should not there be a huge effort of research into its symptoms, effects and a cure? Well I did some research on this at the last full moon if you remember. Sadly TDS has continued unabated since then so that rules out moon madness as...

Sadly , True . Refusing to look at the evidence , Bills fanaticism now marks him as an unblinking zealot . What happened to BillW? I always thought of him as a quiet, unassuming, middle aged Crusaders fan who rarely posted outside Crusaders match threads. Under isolation, he's suddenly emerged as a...

Tucker was on fire last night, excoriating Trump for his lightweight ineffective immigration proposals. :thumbup: What you are saying is that the little that Trump has done in response to the crisis has been woefully inadequate, poorly implemented and tardily enacted? It's kind of nice to know that...

I'd love to see Bill put in charge of the FDA drug approval process. The vast time and cost of developing and proving a drug/treatment could be dramatically reduced, making drugs cheaper for all.

So Trump was right then. He repeatedly stressed that it may not work. https://www.snopes.com/tachyon/2020/03/Screen-Shot-2020-03-24-at-4.45.29-PM.png?w=1005 Quick question, Billy. Are you a contrarian or do you actually believe Trump didn't push this drug as a cure? So Trump was right then. He repe...

Surprising no-one: Despite limited and conflicting data on the use of hydroxychloroquine in patients with Covid-19, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has authorized the emergency use of this drug when clinical trials are unavailable or infeasible.

I know you and I very much disagree as to whether the level of immigration was stupid. There you go though. Who decides? The ancient battle between liberalism and democracy laid bare.

What has been the infection rate among supermarket checkout operators? If it is zero or negligible in that particularly vulnerable group, then that would indicate that it would be an acceptable risk to allow some other other retail outlets and workers with lesser public contact, to return to work.

What I find really odd is the amount of Americans who think he's doing an excellent job. Goey was suggesting on the Virus thread that Trump has been better than a lot of Western Leaders, although he claims not to be a supporter. I cannot think of a single Western Nation that has been as badly serve...

Comparing Trump to a gibbon is really f**king harsh on gibbons. A gibbon would make a much better President and would also make a much better human being than Trump.

In a nutshell, grabbed from the linked Stuff live feed. Bars, restaurants, and most retail still closed: But delivery/takeout and click and collect would open. Schools will partially reopen up to year 10, but attendance is voluntary. People should still work from home if possible. If they can't and...

You are right but anyone likening CNN to The Sun has rocks in their head. Wouldn’t say they are a million miles a part in that they sensationalise headlines, but as has been said, so does Fox.
