COVID question
Eugene's Lair Disturbing but hardly a surprise, as it's not a new tactic by any means. China's been using such strong-arm tactics for "soft-power" purposes for years. Consider their targeting of companies dealing with Taiwan, or their recent dealings with Hollywood re the nine-dash line (cf. "Abominable")... [ more ]

Happy Anniversary, Gaga!
Baz No thanks needed Mollie ....but thank you for having me [ more ]
*mollie* Happy 11th Anniversary to this wonderful forum and to all who keep it going. I know this place daily enriches my life and is even more important during these difficult times. I too sadly miss mine and Hicky's special friend Emptybox after all those years we posted here with him. Such a nice idea to set up the Memorium. A big thank you to the lovely Baz who came to keep us company in HIcky's thread when Hicky and I were so lonely without Emptybox. You're a star Baz. [ more ]

The BBC's Big Night In
Carnelian I watched Davina McCall tell Sam Smith his song was about the best music in the history of music then a few minutes later she was telling a woman with dyed red hair that her hair was practically the most beautiful hair in the history of hair. She really does love her superlatives. Back to the 80s with Dawn French and her toe-curlingly unfunny shtick. That was about as much as I could bear [ more ]

Carnelian Oh, is that Sam Smith? He's a top-selling artist. I know that much. He X-Factored that song up to the max. I'm listening to it on YouTube and it's like fingernails down a blackboard while strangling a cat to me. Loads of people like it, I just don't get it at all. [ more ]

Job Retention Scheme
Carnelian My firm is taking the piss, in its good times when it expanded its workforce from around 30 in 2011 to 150 in 2020, yet still froze salaries, for 8 years basically screwing over the workers who'd worked hard to aid that success. Now it's pleading poverty and wants to lower salaries by 10%. [ more ]
El Loro Chancellor didn't mention this. Looks as if the HMRC email was only sent to tax agents such as myself and that the public announcement "will be made shortly" [ more ]

Virtual Grand National
Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing Well, the 'race' was only half way through and hubby told me what he'd heard about the result and that's what DID happen, so...…. [ more ]
Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing Profits to the NHS is all very well, but who decides the profits? [ more ]
Eugene's Lair Yeah; I know what you mean, Velvet. My initial reaction was "Oh dear, no.", and with some practical experience of "pseudo-randomness" from way back I have fundamental problems with the notion of gambling on what is ultimately just a computer algorithm. That said; my understanding is that the virtual race wasn't originally intended for betting on, and was only meant to provide the TV pundits with a light-hearted talking-point before the real thing. There's definitely an argument that the... [ more ]
