To my untrained eye, women's football is very entertaining. The technical levels of skill seem very good in a way that you don't see so much in the men's game. I'm not claiming the women are more skilful, but something about the way the game is played - more space, less physical, smaller players- lets skill show more. Also, the goalies are smaller. Men's football would be much more entertaining if goalies could be no taller than 5'9''. I don't feel strongly about who wins. I'd like to see England win but it won't make me sad if they don't. But it's easier to enjoy a game you don't feel strongly about when the potch isn't full of utterly horrible people constantly cheating. I find the BBC presentation irritating - they appear to be furiously fighting a battle for acceptance that has already been won without having to fight. But BBC coverage of all sport is irritating; the only interesting thing is finding precisely which way they will irritate you. People who know more about football than me say this view is rubbish however. That was a very skilful goal though.
One problem with mens football is literally every kick of every game that has more than one man and his dog attending is captured and analysed to the nth degree. So there are no surprises and even lesser nations are now professional enough, well coached, well drilled and able to use all of this info to at the very least come up with a set of tactics to minimise their opponents opportunities.
This is particular bad at international level. You watch England play any smaller nation and its park the bus from min 0 until min 90. Now should England do better, yes, it is a criticism of Southgate conservative style, but all these teams purchase in-depth tactical analytical info (in fact the likes of Statsbomb even now provide people to come to your team and do all the technical side for you).
The women's game is nowhere near as sophificated as this, more uneven, but it makes for a more open and enjoyable game.
Should add...in order to break down highly organised, well drilled, very knowledgeable teams, you need to develop much more complex and fluid attacking approaches. If you listen to how Man City are drilled its mind boggling complex, not something you can knock together doing a few training sessions before a Euro / World Cup. I think Liverpool say they are willing to wait a year for a new player to really bed in and learn their systems.
Yesterday I visited Barking Riverside, London's newest station, though it actually opened back on the 18th during the heatwave. Anyway, kept up my 100% record of visiting every station in Greater London!
I think we are seeing the issue of organisation / analysis vs lack of time to develop really complex attacking in rugby. So many matches appear to be these wars of attrition (see recent England vs Australia).

I've decided to give you a thread on Scottish independence in the morning.
I know we probably deserved that punishment, but why exactly?
Nobody said anything about this intro from the weekend thread.
The prospect of Boris Johnson returning for a second stint as Prime Minister fills me with a sense of foreboding that is only matched by when my girlfriend asks to borrow my mobile phone or laptop but we have to brace ourselves for those scenarios happening.
I thought one of the possible ways in which it could have leaked from the lab was via infected lab animals illicitly sold to the market by a lab worker?
So it wouldn't have to be either the market or the lab.
Liz Truss on Tuesday night unveiled a target to cut crime by 20 per cent in the next two and a half years if she becomes prime minister.
The Tory leadership frontrunner would demand that a police officer visits the scene of every burglary following concerns that forces are not doing enough to focus on crimes that affect ordinary people.
In an attempt to crack down on the “woke” agenda, Ms Truss would ban police training that focuses on identity politics and reduce the amount of time officers spend investigating comments made on Twitter.

There's no doubt IMO that most business premises and residential properties are overheated in the winter. It shouldn't be a problem to reduce the level of heating by a considerable amount to save energy.
Interesting that the location of the lab is not marked on the map.
If you read the article, the early cases even trace to a certain part of the market, and the two lineages started a week apart.
Yebbut some of us aren't interested in that sort of boring detail.
Just seems odd that the location of a research laboratory studying coronaviruses that is a few blocks away from this market was only mentioned in passing.

'Senior Conservatives have privately voiced scepticism about a poll demanding party members be given a vote on the removal of Boris Johnson, after the party’s headquarters found fewer than half of a sample of signatories were party members.
The authors of the petition have said addresses and membership numbers provided by the signatories are undergoing stringent checks and that Conservative campaign headquarters (CCHQ) has not yet received the vast majority of the signatories. The website Conservative Post, which organised the petition, said it was being overseen by a team of experienced professionals.
[...]
However, the Guardian understands CCHQ has sampled a few hundred names asking for Johnson’s reinstatement and the majority were not party members. Organisers say CCHQ is yet to receive the bulk of the names and that its sampling would not be representative.'
I would have thought a sample of n = 300 giving a reasonably large percentage result would be pretty indicative ...

Of all the markets in all of China the outbreak happened at one in the same city as an Institute of Virology studying Coronaviruses.
Doesn't seem far-fetched to suppose that a lab worker tasked with disposing of infected animals decided to sell them to the market instead of having them incinerated.

It's further way than Brixton is from Hampstead Heath.

Tomorrow’s Mail headline is “AIR POLLUTION A LIKELY CAUSE OF DEMENTIA”
What are the chances that Thursday will be “LIZ PROMISES 10P CUT ON FUEL FOR HARD-PRESSED MOTORISTS”?

Google maps says that it's less than 30 minutes drive between the two. Compared to the scale of China that qualifies as close.

So it wouldn't have to be either the market or the lab.
Quite. There are many ways that it could be both the market and the lab. It could also be either one. Or even, for that matter, neither.
There is no *proof*, there is only suspicion.
And it is a remarkable coincidence that the one place in China where bat viruses are studied should happen to have a severe outbreak of a bat virus.
So I guess it really was just a complete coincidence that a deadly new Coronavirus happened to appear in a sea food market opposite a lab where they were testing on bat Coronavirus?

Yes, but as has already been mentioned, this just shows where the first big outbreaks where. It does not tell you the origin.
Not just the first big outbreak, but the first outbreak.
It is impossible to be certain of the origin, but a very plausible peer reviewed scientific analysis of the earliest cases.
The correct action should be to shut down such markets of live wild animals.
I would shut down such markets. They're a clear risk for the transfer of new viruses to humans.
The question of how the infected animals found their way to the market remains. Those animals may have come from the lab.
That doesn't mean the Chinese deliberately leaked the virus, and are consequently culpable for the pandemic. It means you also want to take action to tighten up on biosecurity in Virology labs.

Lab location marked with a pink X.
Looks pretty obvious that the virus spread from the market, but did it get to the market from the lab?
Worth adding that there are many orange dots on the map that are further from the market than the lab, so it's really easy to imagine a worker at the lab being the link between the two locations, and the market acting as a superspreader venue.

We set our thermostat to 17-ish, but when we tested the accuracy of the thermostat it was actually clicking on at 20, and so our thermostat was misleading us to our degree of frugality.
Off topic but may be of interests to geologists on here.
I have acquired some 600 square metres of land which I am very very slowly turning into a garden and potager etc. it is currently wild and this week NW Electricity have started the process of removing an electricity pole on the land and laying the connection in an underground cable. It is hard work because the rock under the land (and we are on a hill) is dolerite, which is a sort of volcanic-like - and incredibly hard - rock, as you can see below.
Raised beds in the potager anyway. Even digging up a small bed in the front garden brought up quantities of the stuff. Imagine doing 600 sq mtrs!!
I hope you're paying to have the cable buried, given the costs of doing it!
Certainly not. I gave notice under the Wayleave I had. They then asked if they could bury it underground and we negotiated a new agreement. They are paying me!
I thought one of the possible ways in which it could have leaked from the lab was via infected lab animals illicitly sold to the market by a lab worker?

That's my take as well. Unlike what the article suggests, this doesn't actually prove anything.

I don't have a thermostat with Economy 7 central heating and nor do I have any means of boosting the heating during the day (due to a faulty living room heater). Having spent the last two winters in the UK, rather than in Malaysia thanks to covid, my strategy was to heat the two bedroom flat I have been living ito between 18-19 deg overnight and that would fall to 16-17 during the day. I could heat the whole flat with just the hallway heater until the outside temperature fell to near zero overnight and then I would put the Living Room heater on minimum. Many years ago I worked with a National Grid director who told me he heated his house to those levels during the winter and wore a jersey when at home. I figured that if that was good enough for him then it would suffice for me.
You believe studies that rely on Chinese data? More fool you, I guess.
It is interesting though the number of intelligent people who seem to believe the lab is opposite the market whereas it is quite a long way away (twice as far away as Porton Down is from Salisbury, for example).
It's been controversial because it's often also been implied that the leak was purposeful, rather than accidental, positing a Chinese conspiracy to use the virus to attack the West, and to blame China for the effects of the virus.
This has been done to deflect from criticism of Western political leaders when they have been criticised for perceived failures in their response to the pandemic. But really it makes little difference to judging the performance of Western politicians where the virus came from. Either way they had the same information available to them and the same choices to make.
