You have to be careful becoming middle aged online, you can end up being a horrendously embarrassing parent sharing periphery qanon conspiracy theories and filming yourself without a mask in b&q looking for trellis but getting booted out

If you don't have kids I guess that's not as bad but being the weird uncle could even be worse

Far better to detach and get into golf.

I'm 95% certain, ok, 5% certain, I saw Peter Hitchens "on one" at a back to '92 revival night in Oxford a few years back. He was as close as you are to me, in full PH uniform (pleasant jumper, collared shirt), with the trademark PH face. And yet, gurning and eye-rolling, reaching for the lasers in a polite and considerate manner. Even stranger, his companions were all grizzled crusties.

It were ever so odd.

This is a true story, not my usual bollocks.

It's a 100% true story that you're 5% certain?

Nice anecdote, anyway.

I don't doubt he's a smart guy, but let's not fall into the trap of thinking that just because someone is very well respected in their field, they're therefore automatically right when talking about anything at all.

The idea that the UK's death rate being over six times higher than Germany's can be put down to inherent genetic differences between the two populations is extremely fishy. If he's talking about the native white population, then the simple fact is that Germans and Brits are much of a muchness:

Outside of the white population, it's undeniable that the UK has a much bigger proportion of black and south Asian people than Germany, and these groups have been disproportionately affected by the virus. But before we jump to conclusions about genetic susceptibility, there's the glaring fact that dark-skinned people in the UK are more likely to be poor and more likely to live in high-density housing and to do service jobs that expose them to the general public on a daily basis.

To me, the most obvious relevant difference between the two countries is that their premier is Angela Merkel and ours is Boris Johnson.

Crow black Balearic era Weatherall long-hair here, minus the perm. Not too bad on the grey scale either. Missus wanted me to grow it out way before lockdown, ‘go on, don’t be such a goy’. Well, here you are love, now share your over-priced conditioner.

Had a no4 all over since 1993ish. Hirsute be fucked, no way I’m pony ponytailing it though. You just scoop it behind your ears. That’s what ears are for.

Prediction: the US won't exceed 200,000 deaths by 2021. Ah this is interesting at least. A direct and simple prediction that can either be wrong or right. As long as you recognise worldometer or whatever... I can see a scenario where that ticks over 200k and then you say "Ah but you have to...
