    Things that annoy you

    There was a sea-change in the scientific literature during the Covid-19 pandemic which saw the advent of "pre-publication" databases. That is, to see submitted data prior to it having been through the peer-review process. There was sort of a sound rationale for doing this, in that it was such a...

    Is it illiterate to be unable to recognise why there is a queue, instead forcing yourself against the flow of traffic? No - they are just impatient c*nts!

    Things that annoy you

    I respect your opinion, but my "trust in medical science" is based on a forty year career, first in medical research and more recently in biosafety, so i have an understanding of the subject and a respect for the published evidence-based and peer-reviewed literature. As for the risks to those...

    OK, so the method of inactivation of live influenza virus, once it has been isolated from eggs or cell cultures, is conducted by a technique which has been "validated", as it is called. These validation tests have been conducted for decades, and are proven (by subsequent, very sensitive attempts...

    Also, well-known TV and broadband providers who ring up to offer you a great deal on your package, but won't email it to you for you to consider it (as they want you to sign up for it while you are in a rush). TWATS!

    Can we get to 50 points

    Record GD in English football was Bradford in 1928-29 in Div 3 North. Can we beat their +85?? Man City got +76 in the Prem in 2017-18 (won the title with 5 games to go)

    Yes i have heard that, and i am bloody fuming - trial by a jury of your peers is a tenet of our judicial system.

    Leaks (deliberate or just rumours) of proposed government policy undermining the sovereignty of Parliament. The Chancellor should announce everything in Parliament at the Despatch Box, not via the media.

    What the hell just happened in Dallas?? Eagles 21-0 early in the second quarter, just for their defense to fall apart in the second half, Dak Prescott has an MVP performance and they run in 24 unanswered points to win it at the death! Jameis Winston had an astonishing game at QB (and RB, and...

    The 'not so obvious' hot babes thread!

    Does this thread need to be re-titled "The not obviously hot but politically-questionable babes thread"?

    The best part of that being that NFU Mutual have now moved all operations from Ryon Hill to Tiddington - the gates are chained shut! Utter waste of time and money.

    I wonder if Man U are regretting the decision to play their Women's Champions League against PSG at Old Trafford last night? Attendance 14k did not look good!

    Yeah he did look good, but not the best defense in the world facing him! The shock from last night was how ordinary Josh Allen was made to look against the Falcons defense. Real shock result, that. Penix looked superb. Daniels and Croskey-Merritt should get docked a week's wages for that...
