OxfThe ord vaccine has passed review...fantastic news. Is there an update on its efficacy? Is it still 70%? What would be the point of that. Surely a half dose followed by a full dose giving 90% efficacy is the way they will go. It will be. But as a lot of the data was the 2 full doses, obviously t...

On a sort of similar tangent, John Tyler still has a living Grandchild, 175 years after he left office. That one blows my mind.

The USA only stopped paying out civil war pensions in June this year!

France B' asking questions to the mighty English. Looks like England are too much pasta at lunch before the game. They are slow, and mainly seek to get rid of possession. Bizarre tactics. The bench will be key. France C bench versus England usual bench. So Frog, what did you think about Jalibert's ...

Netflix has knocked out a few decent series recently after a rather flat patch. They have also been putting out series that look beautiful. Umbrella Academy & Queens Gambit both look sensational with that retro vibe.

Ban gambling on credit. It needs to be controlled and limited for sure, but I don't know that an outright ban on using a credit card to make a deposit on a gambling site should be banned outright. I guess debit cards are so ubiquitous that maybe it wouldn't make any practical difference. @Jim They ...

A chap I used to know consistently made a few quid betting on the horses. He has a list of bent trainers he followed who would send their unfancied horse halfway across the country for a minor race. If you aren't being greedy it probably won't get noticed.

So, I’m assuming it’s about style, rather than accuracy, because a digital watches are ‘accurate’. What is it about Swiss watches? History? Yes, pretty much.

That was a hell of a TT from him. Much bigger margin than I expected.

How do they compare in the time trial?

It's not clear cut but Tao, while erratic, has a better TT record.

Yes, I've been told a lot that it's really easy, I'm just lazy. Mind you, the pastry for an English-style pork pie is quite different to an Aussie-style meat pie. In my experience the English style is a lot more "bready" and the Australians is a lot more "flaky". A meat pie in a cafe in the UK will...

This weekend's effort. https://i.imgur.com/9p3IlrIl.jpg Very impressive. After a weekend in London my perception of English cuisine changed hugely and part of that was the baked goods in the markets, pork pies sausage rolls, etc. What did you use for the pastry? Homemade? If so, what's your method?...

I think Daddy Stroll wants Vettel at RP so his son can go up against a former world champ that is in continuous decline. Stroll will look good if he stays anywhere near Seb even if Seb is way off the pace. Billionaire daddy buying success for his son. I've always thought that Vettel was overrated. ...

To all you Dune freaks out there. How far did you read this series? I read all the way to Chapter House.

Like a lot of anti-discrimination laws, the quoted law distinguishes between sex and gender identity. I don’t know if it has been litigated but there is a very reasonable basis for mungo’s opinion.
