FOOTBALL

A Monday take on the weekend. A nice win for Plymouth takes them top of the table, and a nice gate of nearly 12000.In fact gates in Div 1 were high with Sheff weds getting over 23 thousand and Ipswich over 19 thousand. Forest Green lost at Home to Swindon but remain top and the gas moved away from relegation zone (just) with win at home with an impressive gate of oner 6 thousand.

The internationals were remarkable for the lack of huge scores. 5-0 is not humiliation and achieved by San Marino, Andorra and Liechtenstein. Otherwise no real surprises, Hungary losing at home to Albania and other results being closer than expected. Wales need a win tonight in Estonia.

COP26

Setting an example would be good! So ban internal flights ing the UK where a train journey of less than 5 hours is available – maybe the government should charter a train to get their entourage to Glasgow in November.

HORRID SOCIETY

What sort of moron sets fire to someones car because they disagree with them? If caught they should certainly be jailed. There are many people I disagree with, sometimes passionately, but would respect their right to disagree. I hope Chris Packham remains steadfast and strong in his beliefs.

888

Johnson states that there is no need to make misogyny a hate crime as all the laws needed are there. So why then does Priti Patel announce a new emergency number proposed by BT and then adopted as her idea? Is she saying that dialling 999 will put a woman in distress in contact with a misogynistic male police officer? Perhaps we need separate numbers for racist attacks and homophobic attacks.

LIVING WITH THE VIRUS

Government policy seems to promote this. 500+ deaths a week, 3 million cases since 1st June, thousands in hospital. But all this is now ignored as the government has passed responsibility to the people on this, and everything else that is problematic.

KIALO

A new toy to play with. I think it could be brilliant in schools at 6th form level. My first attempt is here. https://www.kialo.com/lawns-are-an-environmental-disaster-53664?path=53664.0~53664.3&active=~53664.3

COVID OCTOBER

Still do not understand what is going on. Yesterday 122 deaths from Covid, 6817 people in hospital with it. Over 40000 new cases. To my mind that is reasons for a bit of panic? But no – nothing from government – it is like they have accepted the 1460 road deaths in 2020 and now expect us to accept 30.000 deaths a year from Covid?

Or are the deaths reported not solely down to Covid, can someone please explain?

FOOTBALL

So the barcodes have been sold to the Saudi’s. Will they sign players like confetti – Haaland, Mbappe, for starters? I would be looking at my CV if I was Bruce – I suspect we will see big names mentioned over the next few days/weeks.
