Charlotte's Controller

There is a rumour that Spitting Image is to make a return with appropriate social distancing and no spitting or coughing. The Boris Johnson puppet is to be a blubbering indecisive ventriloquist's dummy operated rectally by Dominic Cummings. Apparently rehearsals have already begun but without the voice actors or puppets.

Changing the subject, Dominic Cummings was not a threat to the UK population through Coronovirus transmission unless he was to wipe out his own family and the Sage team (and even then probably not that big a threat). The media need to get a grip and focus on what is important, grammar, numeracy , intelligent analysis, and a proper review of the facts.

Amy pictured says I drink too much and so a prize will be awarded to the winner.

He supported the NHS employees for the services they had provided not the NHS. His effort was hijacked and promoted by the media and the whole thing was blown out of proportion, the general public found an apolitical way to donate and they did. The way in which he dealt with this and the media attention has shown that he is a true gentleman and deserving of the honour.

After last year's failure. With more time due to lockdowns I propose a new format. Pick 10 knights of the realm who are to get the standard obit, the first to get all pins down wins. Competition starts 01.06.20 0.900 GMT. DM me with teams and ranked subs in case of terminal flesh wounds . Please rank your knights deaths will score 10 to 1 in case of a tie.

Sir Tom Moore maybe now.

Grim down south

F**king pandemic here, I had calculated to the end of 2020.

Poor English, apologies the count for 2020?

So regarding current matters and health of the nation. The USA are currently 13th on the Worldometer deaths per million of population. Does the current policy for well being see this level being maintained ie the 13th level remaining or is the level anticipated to increase. I would see this as being a matter to influence the polls. Please note that China and Russia do not enter into the discussion as they are further down the list and are not reporting.

Back to the original question, does the counting start at the end of 2020 or when the pandemic is considered to be over? Nine of us have an interest. With hindsight perhaps the government could have considered us as potential advisers. There have been many other worldwide experts, politicians, bleach investors and people with opinions who have been well short of the mark. I would refer you back to the Christmas lecture on maths which provided a very good model of disease transfer from about 22 mins in the video. Note that this was transmitted about a month before the Covid 19 was an issue. After this is an interesting item on how Liverpool use maths to predict goal success, this shows that it is not the footballers who have the brains, why was I not informed of these jobs in careers at school. please note this does not work for Man U and Man C because of referee bias. This video was originally highlighted on page 1 of this thread.

Peter Cardigan once more

Be Alert, stay safe.

So this follows a government trend. Shortage of teachers how do we solve this - run an advertising campaign Shortage of police - run an advertising campaign Shortage of NHS staff - run an advertising campaign Shortage of armed forces - run an advertising campaign Historically the shortages have been created by the austerity cut backs. Net beneficiaries from the above, the advertisers. The politicians say I have solved the problem, with an advertising campaign.

Oops, thanks
