The White House has called the press corps in. Trump has nothing in his schedule for the next hour. Suggestion is he's going to start a press conference as soon as Obama starts speaking at John Lewis' funeral in the hope that cable news channels will cover him instead of the funeral.

Been looking at the latest UK weekly ONS data. 5th week in a row where the total deaths is UNDER the 5-year average. 1,100 fewer deaths in the last 5 weeks (up to 17th July). The 'Covid on the Death Certificate' has dropped below 300 in that latest week. Back at the end of May it was 1,800. And tha...

There's probably someone who knows a hell of a lot more than me about consitutional law, but I saw something a while back saying that even if the election was delayed, Trump and Pence's terms come to an end regardless and a president is appointed by congress. Anyone know if that's right? However he'...

Could they change the logo to a Celtic / Brythonic-type Chief (or is the proper term Chieftain in this case)? A la Asterix and Obelix type of Chief But perhaps better to bin the association with the current meaning altogether and start over with some harmless animal or colour. Exeter is in Devon, n...

So they’ve decided they’re going to retire the mascot because it’s disrespectful, but keep the rest of the branding and will not discuss the matter further.

I'm not going to try and read through the previous 28 pages but if Australia do their own thing then SRA is unsustainable in my opinion. These derby clashes have been absolutely brutal, hence the number of injuries. A 5 team competition is another reason why this won't work, perhaps its time to loo...

That’s the Cummings brief - if anyone disagrees with you, call them a remoaner. “It plays well to the base”, which is fine and dandy, unless you find the base is shrinking.

I brought this same subject up with some mates the other day ( one of whom is of this parish ) after I watched a documentary on Albert Speer (Hitler's architect) which stated that he played rugby ( 2nd Row ) when at school in Heidelburg.

Daniel Craig played fly half. Andre the Giant played up until the age of 16 before starting wrestling. At that age he was 6'6". Jaques Chirac played second row for Brive's youth team.

Richard Burton. Burton's memoir recalls the last game he ever played, having snuck away from an acting contract that specifically precluded his participation in rugby. At an away match against a village "whose name is known only to its inhabitants," he describes it as the type of place where "towar...

National Records Scotland is collecting figures where CV19 is refernpenced on the Death certificate. That’s the clearest number for us, so far as I’m concerned. But even then, it’s complex.

If you’re saying the idea that a populations density doesn’t have any effect on how viruses spread, I think you might be the one out of step.

I'm not. And neither is the paper. So what's your point?
