In fact, here... "postponed an urgent operation"

MASSIVE error. Just huge. Blow the moralising (I don't mind it personally but then I'm long overdue another Glasgow welcome, as we all agree (about which, more later, y'lucky pup...), it's really irrelevent. The comedy at its best is just tremendous and however it chooses to get there, just let it choose - it really isn't important. It's a comedy programme, not a Party Political Broadcast (however it might feel). Just look the other way when you need to because when it's funny - and it's really REALLY funny for a few series beyond 2 - it makes the rest irrelevent. Trust me on this. You won't regret it. Glasgow kiss. (This hasn't rankled, honest, Guv. This much is abundently clear...) It probably doesn't shock you to learn you're not entirely unique in that opinion. (Hope your ego can withstand such a mortal blow.) Fortunately, it doesn't matter a jot as I'm safe in the certain knowledge you're all wrong. So nerr. Plus I have an extraordinarily high pain tolerance so you'd be much better advised to piss in my pint while I'm not watching. Now get on with showing the rest of your peep. They just MIGHT be too diffuse, that's all I'm saying. I AM James Bond. It's like a moral decision. Except it's not, because nobody's watching. Y'piss kidney. De Botton wouldn't kill. (Just realised you probably CAN'T survive a mortal blow. Clue's in the description. Oh well.) If this whole virusy business achieves nothing more than offering you the opportunity to get yourself up-to-PS-speed then it might, just might, have all been worth it after all. Sometimes yer silver lining needs seeking. Edited by Eustace H. Plimsoll (27 Mar 2020 12.31am) Alright, alright....I'll take another peep at peep show.....But it's very beta male like all their stuff. You must have been pissed when typing this....then again who can blame anyone for that.

Fit as a fat fiddle. I'm just completely bemused by it all. The reaction is way overboard. It's a media run society from the politicians down. When we go back to work with the virus still around...which we will, though hopefully with testing kits...everyone's taxes will be going up. I just hope it isn't a world recession and people can go back to their jobs.....However, If there's no grumbling on here then I guess that's fine. Japan still under fifty dead and no economic lockdown. There are lots of lessons to be learned....but the creators of the society we live in won't want to address them. Downgraded society.

I suspect that he's by far the most important man there.

Maybe "milestone payments" for the charities Originally posted by blackheatheagle
In terms of 20% wage cut for players. As of now, there seems to be 3-4 month break. I don`t think 20% for 3-4 months will be dramatic change for clubs (for eg: if clubs` annual salary cost is £60 mil, that is equal to £3 million for 3 month impact) However this can be game changer for community who is impacted due to virus. If players are ok for this cut, i would prefer clubs to keep this money at a pool account to be handed over to charity for this purpose after the outbreak ends. I understand 3 month can be extended (thus keeping the money at the pool) and not every club will be able to support due to their debts. But as it is already optional, they can decide by their own. When there is players / coaches who donates £1 million, clubs can contribute similar / more as well and this can come from these overrated wages..

Something positive about the whole world locking down. Pollution is already at the lowest level for 5 years and the hole in the ozone is closing. Now this doesn’t excite me enormously however it does show that enforced reductions in CO2 and other emissions can have a fairly rapid impact on our environment.

I have read an article which claims that average 55,000 lives have been saved due air improvement due to lock-down in China. So their balance sheet is positive.
