Congratulations to @Viva la FCB, champion again, two years on from winning the Last Man Standing League's inaugural competition. Consistency won out this season, with @Viva la FCB surviving long enough to bag bonus points in all but one round, on that occasion falling victim to the infamous Marseille Massacre of Round 5. @Mel81x climbs to 2nd place with his win in Round Seven having been the runner-up in three other rounds this year, the same amount as 3rd-placed @...Dan, who couldn't quite overhaul the league leader and fell just short of claiming a win of his own. @CaaC (John) would have been right in the mix if he'd taken part in the first two Gameweeks, the only man to win multiple rounds this season, he also gained 2 extra points from Round 3 which I had somehow overlooked at the time - this has now been amended. A special mention too to @Rucksackfranzose who picked up the biggest single points haul this season with his six correct picks delivering him victory in the Eredivisie's Round 6. As for the other end of the table, @Batard's one week cameo in the Premier League edition sees him lead the field in 'points per round' - quit while you're ahead, I suppose! Meanwhile @Pyfish and @Stan suffer the ignominy of finishing joint last, of those players who took part in every round. Thanks again for playing this season folks, we'll be back for the Euros during the summer and then business as usual for the 2021-22 season.

China's Space Agency has successfully launched Tianhe, the core module of the new Tiangong space station, into orbit Once finalised (scheduled for 2022), the station will feature 14 internal experiment racks and more than 50 external docking points for instruments designed to gather data in the space environment. Images of the interior have been released:

Isn't the COVID vaccine the first mRNA vaccine (well most of them, the one jab ones aren't)? I'm not so sure the flu jab is really a booster in the same sense the mRNA vaccine boosters are. But your rationale is the same - the boosters would give your immune system the ability to recognise any new variants and mutations that have come out and teach your immune system how to beat the virus if you get infected by any of those strains. I think the flu jabs just cover the likely flu variants that are going around that year. I always get deathly ill after a flu vaccine. With the Moderna vaccine, the first jab had 0 effect on me... and the second jab just hurt my arm and I had a headache and was tired for about a day and a half.

The flu jab is different to the COVID one. Bear in mind this COVID one is effectively brand new and the longevity of the vaccine is perhaps still in question. The flu jab you get every year is a booster too so that it acts against any new strains. The COVID one will probably be the same.

Congrats once again @Viva la FCB and ty for running this @RandoEFC

Updated to add @Mel81x for his first round win and @Viva la FCB, the dominant force in LMS, winning the original World Cup edition and two out of three league campaigns.

More like US vs. China vs. Russia vs. the EU, with the rest of the world just taking hits as these dickheads fuck around with the planet.
