    They don't anyway, do they? Not in any significant numbers, at least!

    What is your specialty?

    Did a degree in Biochemistry then kind of fell into doing a PhD in a similar field. Then had a fairly successful career in genetics research. Still use my scientific knowledge in providing health & safety advice to the science community at Warwick Uni. So yes, my degree became my specialism, but...

    We said exactly the same, FP - no commute, no Xmas songs! I tend not to listen to music radio at home

    Sadly, the Registrar of the University of Warwick (my employer) is also a governor of WCG. Shame, as i have quite a lot of respect for her in other areas.

    Wasps downward spiral...

    WCG are by no means blameless and are showing themselves to be greedy mercenary twats. They bought all of the FE colleges in South Worcestershire (Malvern, Pershore and Evesham) with promises that they would maintain the educational offering. Four years on, and whaddya know? They are downsizing...

    Amanda Rae does have a pretty dreamy voice, in my opinion. Some of her content is a bit lame though.

    "People" in ONE constituency out of 650.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Should have said "a proportion of the residual 53%" in case someone might have taken it literally just to be obtuse.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    A lot of people will vote differently to their normal habits when nothing is at stake. It doesn't really affect Boris as he still has a huge majority in the Commons. Protest votes quite frequently occur at by-elections then revert at the next GE. I predict the remaining 53% of the electorate...

    COVID pass

    Can i just say (possibly not for the first time, for which my apologies) that this should NOT be a difficult system to use and embrace. France have been using their "Pass Sanitaire" system successfully for months and having been fortunate (depending on your point of view!!) enough to go there...

    I think we *may* have invented the Michael Doyle song - didn't some saddo from Leamington actually make a record of it??

    The Christmas 2021 thread

    You were clearly dreaming of a Wight Christmas, HH! We lived near Cambridge then, and the snow started as we were driving home from doing the Xmas shopping two weeks before. We got dumped on and it stuck around for ages. I don't recall whether it actually snowed on Christmas Day though. It was...

    The song "[enter team name] get battered everywhere they go" no matter who is playing gets on my fuckin nerves!! And i don't like that there appears to be a franchise on the "Olé ..." chant (anyone know it by another name?) every time anyone scores a goal, at every ground in the league. So...

    The Christmas 2021 thread

    Not Christmas until i have heard this - goosebumps everytime! The repetitiveness of Elton's "Step into Christmas" does my fucking head in. And Beach Boys lyric "Christmas comes this time each year"? No shit Sherlock! FOOK OFF!!!
