Streets of Rage 4 is great. They've tried to add one or two small additions, such as combo's for points and able to gain health back when doing a defensive special, but on the whole it's practically the same as any of the others before it. The unlockable characters are a good addition as well. Almost unlocked all of them.

Wales officially remains in lockdown for another three weeks, regardless of what is said on Sunday from the UK government. We can however exercise more than once a day now (because that was clearly enforceable), while garden centres, recycling centres and libraries can apply to reopen. So that'll be nine to ten weeks in lockdown by the time that finishes. Will be interesting to see what is mentioned on Sunday.

Fair play, both governments have been a bit of a shambles really haven't they. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-52572954 Also says something when our own government and Public Health department aren't even on the same wavelength. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-52573906

Yeah, Aimar was insane. The best was Andy Campbell as he was practically the equivalent of Messi.

I really don't understand why we haven't made these within the UK itself by both UK and devolved governments, especially as they have to meet certain standards as well. There were queues down Swansea way (I think) whereby staff had to perform traffic control. This was for a drive thru at KFC. As DeadLinesman simply put it, with one extra addition.

Tbh, I don't bother with Twitter much as I just find it toxic really.

I think the comment aimed more towards the left because that's mainly what I tend to hear more of (for example and as we mentioned earlier in the thread, some hoping that Boris would die when he was admitted to hospital). Of course, as you said, it happens on both sides regardless.

Great comparison really and unfortunately, it'll always be like that. Rando mentioned that 'Nobody's allowed to criticise Boris/Brexit/the Tories it seems these days without being a naive left-wing remoaner Corbynite communist Islamophile self-hating Britain-hating muppet', yet plenty from the left do the exact same thing but is somehow justified in doing so. I've seen a few times from Welsh nationalists that 'if you vote for the Tories, you hate Wales and can piss off to England if it's that bad'. Granted, there are others who want devolution abolished (which I don't agree with as we should have our own laws) due to frustration with the Welsh Labour-run Government after 20 uninterrupted years in power. This again sounds like a defence of the Tories when in all honesty, I just don't like sheer hypocrisy from either side, mainly when one party does one thing, gets criticised by the opposition but will then do something similar, defend what they do and the die hard supporters shout down at those who ciriticse them. It's why I tend to criticise the Welsh Government often as they have a habit of doing this. Anyway, I'll stop there as it's starting to go off topic and there's a topic for UK politics in general.

Exclusive news from the Mirror out of celeb land. It appears that Simon Cowell and Laura Silverman may have split up. The source of the alleged split?

Amazing. Simply amazing. These are the people who are providing the critical advice, to tell us to 'stay at home, protect the NHS, save lives' on a regular basis, only for them to break their own advice and go on a jolly trip. The fact that this is the second 'chief' to resign is staggering and backs up @nudge's article from before about our arrogance.

Tbh, I'm just thinking how good that'd be for food really.

Got us to the prem quicker.

Wales has now passed 1,000 deaths after another 26 deaths reported today.

We had that between ourselves and the Cardiff Blues when the City Stadium first opened. It was shit and the Blues left a couple of years after first sharing.

Interesting article here and has made me think a little as well. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-52526554

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-52540266 Fuck sake.

Apparently there were far more cases in Germany than were reported, according to BBC. However, it had not been fully verified at the time. Not sure how true that actually is when considering how countries have reported, that could be possible.

We've had a fair few as well, though surprisingly a few of the more extreme ones like that have been people from England coming into Wales (mainly due to second homes). I'll have to try and find some of them when I can as some had driven a ridiculous amount of miles to get there. The one that sticks in my mind is a car from London going to Snowdonia. Not exactly down the road. There was an article on ridiculous excuses given to the police here as well. I may have already posted this but either way, some of them are beyond stupid. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-52386123

Love Island cancelled this summer due to coronavirus. Won't air until 2021. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-52528149

Yeah, I'll be very surprised if the tubes aren't rammed again once lockdown is relaxed. Going to be very difficult in London I think. Also, I think it was @Machado that mentioned before about celebrities telling people to stay indoors could help and while most appear to stay in during lockdown, there have been ones mentioned (such as Jack Grealish and Kyle Walker I think) which happily say to stay indoors and then break it afterwards, as well as the Sam Smith 'breakdown' While this is the Daily Mail so can be taken with a pinch of salt (like most media outlets in the UK these days), this is Madonna being a cunt. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8282397/Madonna-attends-Steven-Kleins-party-days-revealing-coronavirus-antibody-test-results.html EDIT: To add to @Harvsky's mention of Mike Ashley. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8283769/Sports-Direct-House-Fraser-secretly-pressured-furloughed-store-managers-work-week.html

Yeah, can see London being a nightmare, especially the tubes again as everyone will pile onto that in the first instance.

The sad thing about that is it doesn't surprise me as Mike Ashley is a cunt of the highest order. For me, I will go back to the office if I'm told to. However, it'd be a bit pointless as my desk is almost bare (including no monitors or docking station as someone else in my office has them) and at present, I don't see how it'd work in theory, especially as employers in Wales must make as practically reasonable as possible to put in social distancing measures (I mentioned this a little on the previous page I think).

The other issue as well is with us as the public. Are we still going to be careful when restrictions are relaxed to try and minimise a possible second wave (or simply out of fear) or are we going to basically give the middle finger and piss away everything done so far?

Fair enough. Haven't really heard anything in regards to the Channel Islands and was just curious. That's good to hear. Hopefully we can start to get going again, though how we come out of lockdown will be key.

Random question. Have there been any cases on any of the Channel Islands at all?
