So there's a big Public Health England report out discussing vaccine effects; single shot looks like it's reducing hospitalisation by 80%. The death rate of the over-80s, previously the main contributor to total deaths, is falling faster than for everyone else.

It makes me wonder how the "ah ah but they count it as a covid death if you get hit by a falling safe and then do a little accordion dance if you had a positive test within 28 days" lot are going to spin the sudden decrease. Brexit impact on ACME imports?

My work just emailed everyone to say they plan to reopen offices on 12th April. Since non-essential retail is opening then, apparently the office can too! Sounds like bullshit to me, from reading the government website.

E.on finally forced me to get a smart meter. They installed it on Friday. Now it's showing I've spent £130,000 (yes 6 figures) on electricity since then. Why is everything in this country so relentlessly poo poo when it comes to utilities. From broadband being slower than the slowest deal in Spain, to my water company constantly trying to upsell me blocked drain insurance, to this poo poo.

I actually had something like that happen with my heating - some weirdness with them crossing up my account with someone with a similar address meant that the best way they could think of to rectify matters was to refund us both everything we'd paid over a couple of months then credit both our accounts with the full amount each of us had paid, so I basically got a free year or so of hot water and heat. (This was after their phone app went haywire and took 70-ish £1 "verification payments" which they likewise refunded me in full and let me keep the credit - I find it hard to hold the fairly frequent little admin cockups the small firm that looks after our CHAP system makes when they're normally so quick and generous when correcting them)

Two flats in our block had smart meters put in and they stopped the storage heaters working so SSE had to come and put old ones back in. The 'landlord' meter (communal one) doesn't show any readings so I pressed a blue button to see if it showed any (which works on mine) and it just said 'reset' so god only knows if I have set it to 00000 so they'll think we've gone round the clock! We haven't had an actual meter reading for quite a long time, all estimates, as noone knew where the key to the relevant cupboard was! Once the winter is through (don't want any disruption to the overnight storage heaters in the communal areas during the cold months with all these 80/90 year olds knocking around) hope to somehow get an employee with a technical brain cell /ability to make decisions to visit rather than getting into a dispute.

How does this count as either an exclusive or as news, given it's not anything at all in Johnson's power to do and UEFA have already said they're exploring the possiblity of hosting the whole lot in England? e: That is the postponed Euro 2020, even UEFA can't force pubs to open. Given the original plan for Euro 2020 was to have it splattered across the entire continent, which was a loving stupid idea even before the pandemic, it's pretty inevitable that they're going to have to revert to having the whole tournament in one nation to at least pretend like it's not just one pancontinental superspreader event, and given that the semis and final were already going to take place at Wembley and England is the only country in UEFA to both have enough stadiums ready to go and a government dumb enough to let them all be used, it's only going to end up in one place anyway. goddamnedtwisto fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Mar 1, 2021 |

I guess he could veto it. Also I think i disagree that a paneuropean tournament was a stupid idea before covid. Like thats the point of europe. Its geographically no bigger than the us or russia or wherever and you could have had a summer of people doing crazy trips across europe to got to great games. I mean its bullshit unless youre rich but travelling across Europe is the least expensive bit of attending a big tournament football match.

Not really, at least not without putting in place the kind of quarantine and travel restrictions that he wouldn't put in place even at the very height of the deaths. If he actually told the FA and clubs they couldn't host it *without* it being part of wider measures the FA would be kicked out of UEFA and FIFA, who have rules against national governments meddling in the game which don't get enforced normally but if an opportunity to get the English out of your organisation presented itself wouldn't you take it?

NotJustANumber99 posted:Americans already did it lol I have no idea if this is real? A gridiron field is 120 yards by 60 yards if you include the endzones and space at the sidelines, so possibly. Don't make me get the envelope out to work out if the angled flight deck is wide enough to fit the entire field. However to answer the question about real football at sea - minimum width of a pitch for an international match is 68m and weirdly this seems like a fairly hard limit on the beam of supertankers - there's only one ship wider than that still sailing and that's this thing:  which is a bit bumpy even for 70s football.
