@Tommy how's your personal 5G hotspot today? After your jab it should be improving?

Maharaj just took a very good hattrick against West Indies.

Absolute joke they even started investigations in to it. Pathetic.

Torquay's keeper just equalised in 95th minute against Hartlepool in the play off final.

Nah everyone's loving life and has no worries any more.

I'll admit I thought it was some dumb fad of a bank holiday. Genuinely never heard of it before so I'll happily hold my hands up for my ignorance. Just seen on BBC it's to celebrate the liberation of slaves in Texas. 19th June 1865. Texas was the last state slavery was still in place and this date is seen as the end of slavery in USA as it was the final place to stop it. 14 Republicans were against this being recognised as an official holiday. 415 votes were in favour of it .

Had the same thought earlier. Saw a couple of drivers do this and I was thinking 'what the fuck are you doing? You're on your own in your car. Literally no need to wear one if you're the only one there

Got tickets for Wimbledon today. Court 1 on the missus' birthday so using that as one of her birthday presents. We both love Nadal so a sickener he won't be there but I'll just be glad to finally go! Will be mens QF day so hopefully get to see some decent play.

Not sure I was...

Gabriel, Holding, Chambers, Mari. Saliba to come back but unsure how he'll be. I'd say it is a place to improve on, perhaps not quite low as last on their priorities.

I tried discussing that the other day, saying that Arsenal's stature has dropped dramatically recently. It didn't go down well.

It's frustrating. This has already been moved from April and we moved it to July thinking it'd be well clear of the 'roadmap' reaching it's conclusion. Sadly it's a day out after this latest extension . Just leads to more frustration.

Yeah I'm trying to see it as a positive. The threshold has gone but social distancing remains there. Just waiting to hear back from our venue now on how many people will be allowed. It's a big venue so maybe we can get to the amount of guests we initially wanted but I'm still 50/50 on how it'll be. Initially we planned for 90. I think it'll be about 60 for the venue we have so means we'll be having to give some bad news to some of our guests.

Bet still on

Thanks. Every time I feel like I've dealt with the anxiety and uncertainty of it all, another curveball is thrown. Last week there were a few 'leaks' day by day of what could happen. One day it was 'unlimited numbers can be allowed at weddings'. Then the next day there's the leak about the 4-week delay. And then even over the weekend there's still talk of wedding numbers increasing. But therein lies more certainty. When will they increase? To what number? From 21st June or 19th July? Then there's the 'break clause' if the data is good enough. What happens then? So many questions come up every so often and very rarely are we given a satisfactory answer. And when answers are provided - such as 21st June being the 'unlocking', it doesn't happen. So plans that we make well in advance go out the window anyway. Even if there's contingencies it's still hard to plan for. To say it's incredibly frustrating would be a huge understatement. I'm resigned to not having the wedding ceremony we planned for in July (which has already been moved from April). After that it's just keeping fingers crossed for the 'ideal' Indian wedding we both want and have planned the best part of 12-14 months for in August...

You have to be another level of cunt to do this. Even if it wasn't just a few hours after what happened to Eriksen its fucking stupid to vandalise something that could save someone's life. .

Exactly. As if it's some kind of genius idea he's concocted

Agreed as well. I feel for those at our company (and probably millions of others) who were almost thrust in to WFH as a result of the pandemic. Having to work in bedrooms, kitchens, tiny spaces I count myself very fortunate to have had ample space both when I was at my flat and back at home. Also can't stress enough to get as much fresh air as possible when it comes to taking breaks. Probably won't realise it at the time but it is so healthy for you to take that kind of break and not just be inside all the time.

I've been wfh for nearly 5 years now. I can't stress enough how important it is to ensure you maintain your wellbeing. Mentally and physically. Regardless of the work you're assigned to do for your role, taking regular breaks and keeping active is so important. Sitting at your desk all day isn't healthy but getting up and moving about can be so beneficial. You'd do it in the office so why not do it at home? If you're worried about the time then think about how much work you'd do instead of commuting. It's also not healthy to have so much screen time and video calls without breaks. If you're workplace aren't championing healthy work/life balance then they're already doing something wrong. Agree with @The Palace Fan about being new in a company and having to work from home. My manager started work and then 4 months later COVID hit so for her getting to know people in the company was made hugely difficult. Even since we started working from home, generally you miss so much of what goes on in the office or for the company, but then that's where good communication comes in from the top. And to be honest because you've got a job to do you kind of get over not knowing (or at least not needing to know) trivial things you usually would around the office anyway.

It's just such an embarrassment he gets to represent our country. Cringeworthy.

Was Nadal injured for half of that match? There was a point towards end of the third and start of the fourth that you could tell his body had almost given up on him.

Only while the investigation was going on I believe.

Yes and I personally chose @McAzeem first as the Guinea pig.
