That made me laugh out loud! Thanks

I don't understand the whole ASMR thing! Youtube appears to be littered with videos of women vacuuming or washing up or changing the duvet cover, and this is supposed to induce some kind of goosebump tingling sensation? Doesn't do it for me, i must say. The fact that they are often scantily-clad...

WTAF????????

I haven't the faintest idea what this means, but i'm not using my work laptop to Google it, just in case it is NSFW!!

Yes but it's only 15 minutes from Kenilworth and an hour or more to Leam/Warwick!

I made the mistake of going to Brean Sands (the beach NOT the Pontins) a few years back when they had some kind of Country & Western thing going on! The number of Confederate flags flying off people's caravans was a good correlation with the degree of inbreeding, i think. Absolutely horrific...

The Coventry Hill is the one out at Allesley, right? I'll take the recommendation of the Britannia in the same vein, shall I? Thanks @Grendel :) Thanks to everyone who has suggested places. I've also suggested the Holiday Inn in Kenilworth as it's a reliable chain (albeit with a shit breakfast...

Cheers - i don't know if some of my visitors may be coming by train, so is that a bit far from the station??

Hi all I am running an event at Warwick Uni in a few weeks' time and have been asked whether the hotels near Coventry station are any good? I don't live in Cov, so I'd appreciate some input from you knowledgable folks on where to stay and NOT to stay (i will put the Hyland and others bookable by...

Just a couple of comments on your excellent post ... 1. Viruses will be mutating all the time, and some mutations will enhance its activity while others will reduce it. Those activities include the ability to bind to its target cells, which is in general an indicator of how fast the virus is...

That lasted well, didn't it? Thanks to @Sky Blue Pete for laughing at that, 3 1/2 years late!! No-one would believe i'm a biosafety specialist, would they?! It's actually quite cathartic reading back the early posts on this thread. Like they said in the First World War: "It'll be over by...

I was recently watching the C4 documentary where Guy Martin did a trip round Japan, and he says the culture is to obey the law, and has one of the lowest crime rates in the world. Fucking weird place though!

Her Panorama report last week was exceptional. Bafta territory, in my view, despite the tragic background. Couple of other points catching up ... 1. Allitt is still in Rampton 2. The murder or abduction rate of children by strangers is no higher than it was 50 years ago - but the public...

Wouldn't be an official state visit though, would it?

I think Prince William has a bigger question to answer. As patron of the FA, he should have had the final date in his diary a couple of years ago, and it is poor to say his diary didn't allow him to attend. There is NO WAY he would have missed a men's final!

I see the nursing manager who was in charge at the time has today been suspended from her post as Nursing Director of an NHS Trust operating 5 hospitals in the Manchester area "in the light of evidence presented at the trial"

Did you see that Panorama special on Friday night? Quite horrifying the way the hospital management were more worried about the hospital's reputation than patient safety or harbouring a killer. Article in The Observer yesterday quotes the consultant who first raised concerns :- "Brearey, who was...

There's nothing 'gammon' about this debate - enough of the Twitter lazy stereotyping, already! Just because you (seemingly) don't agree with the reintroduction of the death penalty for killers whose "cruelty and calculation was truly horrific" (as the judge said in his sentencing remarks) it...

Whole life on each and every guilty verdict. In US she would have 13 consecutive life sentences. Good riddance!

Thanks for the insight. It's what it makes it more surprising that she wasn't told he was near the end and she could say "bollocks to the football - it's only a game. I'm flying home".
