  1. Ah, now I'm sorry for my initial response. That's a group with some serious history. Hux Brown deserved better. They have been described as the Beatles of reggae.

    Coincidentally when I joined the team I work in about five years ago, I became good friends with a colleague and when we were based in a different office would obviously share lifts - exactly three years ago we were driving to work and I mentioned it was my dad’s birthday, and she said no way, it’s my dads too! I said blimey what a coincidence, what year was he born, 1952 she said! Our dads were born on exactly the same day! It must have been fate that we are such good pals. 

    I think your mothers have some explaining to do.

    Quite a lot of people will have had it by now, or have strong reasons to believe that they have.  They judge that they now have immunity, and that they are no longer infectious, and they are almost certainly right on both counts.    So they feel confident to carry on as normal.  I would too.

    Gotta say doubtful about the immunity.  I saw an article last week about Sweden,  and even without a country wide lockdown, it looked like the overall infection rate (based on antibody presence)  was 7.3%. Nowhere near enough for herd immunity.  I don't think we're past this yet.

    Somewhat far from the same league as Bowie, Prince et al then.

    He's definitely in the same league.  If Bowie and Prince were like elite soccer/football players, he'd be one of those 9 year old kids they encircle the perimeter of the field with to shag errant balls.

  5. So putting aside that this conversation doesn't belong in this thread either, does anyone actually read the thread titles before they get to the post anyway? I start at the first new post  and then just keep scrolling through to the next unread topic. There are a few threads I don't care for, but it's more of a hassle to try to avoid them, so i just quickly move on. It would make no difference if it were a happy birthday thread or a happy birthday post in a dedicated thread. I wouldn't mind a feature like " block thread" like we have for "block user", but I don't see a big deal either way.

    Had him lined up for the semi-finals of the cup. Another example of why it’s pointless putting together a cup team a week in advance. A few hours before the deadline is time enough. 

    Which is why I will never progress far in the DL Cup. I was just joshing.
