The tabloids make their guesses on how much Emma will make – politicalbetting.com
Welcome to tabloid fantasy land where the Mirror, Mail and Express each have a stab on how much the 18 year old US Open Tennis winner from Bromley in Kent is going to make. As can be seen from the front pages there is a wide variation which means, I’d suggest, that none of them has a clue.

Corinthianism is long dead.
However isn't this thread header a bit vulgar and a bit too American? I notice at the presentation yesterday the interviewer told her how much her paycheque was, you wouldn't dream of hearing that at Wimbledon.
Yes the tabloids and midmarket papers may speculate but I would hope PB was more broadsheet
What will be her world ranking in a year?
I'm taking number 1
They are re-watchable in a remarkable way, because of the cooking element which somehow makes them timeless, whereas a pure political or cultural show would be boring and dated
It's a weird alchemy but it is true and it works. Bourdain writes vivid culinary postcards with prescient sociopolitical warnings
The end of the Shanghai episode I just watched just says "China is the future" which could easily be obvious, truistic drivel in the wrong hands, but via Bourdain and his team, it becomes sobering, brilliant, moving even. He's telling us there will be bad shit that comes with this, but great noodles. We will gain economically, but there will be dark horizons. The final shot is of Shanghai in a grey black mist with endless new traffic flowing and flowing
The shows are genius and worthy of replaying

He admits in his brilliant memoir he is a manic-depressive, hence his heroin addiction and the rest. The women and the cocaine. Enormously funny, and smart, but given to bouts of ennui, anomie or even self loathing
He constantly says on the show "I have the best job in the world" and he probably does, in many ways, yet you see the darkness, sometimes. The lack of a settled family life, perhaps. Plus guilt?
Yet none of that consigned him to certain suicide. He was just a roller-coaster ride and could easily be alive today, and happy, if those around him had been a bit more aware. Hence my warning about tatts. They are a signal
For me, until she does come out as anti-anti-vaxer, she can't be Queen Emma.
Having that silly thought did make me think: have the goodest of the good youth (and government) influencers Marcus and Greta had their vaccines? Or opined on them?
From a quick Rashford Vaccine google I only see references to them wanting MR as a pro vax spokesman, which seems to imply he didn't want to do so?
She has been blamed by many, but I think that is unfair. There are moments much earlier in his TV career when he dips towards suicidal depression, visibly, on camera - there is one in Sicily, which is particularly vivid. It is one of the things which makes him so watchable
He was just a high-low guy. It's all out there on display. The TV guys should have bought a better trampoline for him
He was truly great.
Strangely, I read a couple of his novels before he was famous. They weren't bad.
Is she the biggest thing EVER?
Most restaurants are shitty businesses.
As you highlighted earlier, her connection with China and command of Mandarin gives her a near unprecedented opportunity (was Michael Chang of Chinese origin and did he make money in China from that?)
She almost literally, literally has the world at her feet
TL;DR: pre-Delta vaccines were c. 95% effective at keeping people out of hospital. With Delta, this has dropped to 89% effective. And they are still almost 80% effective at preventing symptomatic infection.
If Emma said tomorrow that she hated Brexit, and me for supporting it, I'll still support her as strongly as I am now.
If she were to come out in support for Brexit could Remainers (or whatever you call yourselves) say the same?
I love to make it all about Brexit. In case Scott takes a day off
So, I suspect she will be inherently Brexit-sceptical.
But I also suspect that she's going to have quite a lot on her plate for the next decade. So I'm not going to worry about it.
The point is I would still support her if she does get all anti Brexit on us (I don't expect any politics from her at all, it was posed as hypothetical). If she got all pro-Brexit would Remainers feel the same about her? I doubt it
If she came from a tough working class background in Grimsby, and was pro-Remain, I think we might think a bit differently.
It's always "class traitors" that people have the biggest issue with.
She can be a bit greener than Hamilton, but can't be a tennis superstar without flying everywhere, and so will still similarly be a bit of a hypocrite if she tries to be all green.

Our results show that firm-wide remote work caused the collaboration network of workers to become more static and siloed, with fewer bridges between disparate parts. Furthermore, there was a decrease in synchronous communication and an increase in asynchronous communication. Together, these effects may make it harder for employees to acquire and share new information across the network.
Our results suggest that shifting to firm-wide remote work caused the collaboration network to become more heavily siloed—with fewer ties that cut across formal business units or bridge structural holes in Microsoft’s informal collaboration network—and that those silos became more densely connected. Furthermore, the network became more static, with fewer ties added and deleted per month. Previous research suggests that these changes in collaboration patterns may impede the transfer of knowledge and reduce the quality of workers’ output. Our results also indicate that the shift to firm-wide remote work caused synchronous communication to decrease and asynchronous communication to increase. Not only were the communication media that workers used less synchronous, but they were also less ‘rich’ (for example, email and IM). These changes in communication media may have made it more difficult for workers to convey and process complex information
We expect that the effects we observe on workers’ collaboration and communication patterns will impact productivity and, in the long-term, innovation.

England has ceased to be English.
More than 300,000 cases were passed to investigators between March and May, according to figures seen by the BBC.
The government was not able to say how many of these were found to have broken the rules or could not be traced.

Of those three PMs, they won three elections between them - two by narrow margins. And all three were won by Wilson.
F1: splendid race last time. Next up is Russia, where passing is hard, so the 3 place grid penalty may be a relatively tricky thing for Verstappen to overcome.
Goodness knows there's plenty of stuff of substance to criticise Johnson over.....
I appreciate it’s a rather broad and imperfect definition.
And note that I am not really criticising Boris but pointing out that it is another piece of the jigsaw confirming previous doubts that will be held by those who do matter.
He may take an engine penalty there but it'll put him right at the back.
In any event, getting A in Maths nowadays only makes you moderately above average, and speaking the same language as your mother hardly makes you super-clever.
"Been forced to observe Scotland and the Scottish since the 1970s. I am an involuntary expert. I can assure you: you lot have changed. And not for the better."
But possibly.
That is everyday life for many Scots: immersed in their neighbours’ gunge.
It just lacked something compared to the women’s final (probably a lack of rallys)
And I think that’s been true for a while, did the past few years I end up watching women’s Wimbledon matches way more than men’s
Global commodity prices sky high
Global shipping prices even higher
Poor harvests (wheat in Canada creating the pasta fubar)
Lack of staff in the food industry
Lack of drivers
So when the CEO of the Food and Drink Federation warns that the growing chaos is going to settle into being normal without government intervention, and the government dismisses him by saying that we have a resilient supply chain so no threat to Christmas, remember this.
The FDF is the supply chain. I know that we've all had enough of experts, but there is nothing in it for the industry to create a fake crisis that imperils the Christmas payday large parts of it relies on.
Mr. eek, it's difficulty. But it was at Monza too, and Bottas made great progress. The question is where it's most harmful (Singapore, were we going there, would be an obviously daft place to take a new engine). I'm unsure how well undercuts work at Sochi. If it doesn't matter much then a contra-strategy may be in play.
Have to say that I largely agree with you that the difficulty overtaking may make it less than ideal. But he has a 3 place grid penalty anyway.
Turkey's meant to be the next race but may be red-listed off then there's the USA (same risk). Both circuits, I think, are rather better for passing. Mexico is poor for it, then there's Brazil (better than Mexico).

I fully expect her to lead the campaign to Rejoin in a decade’s time.
Bromley? Remain
Under 55? Remain
Migrant? Remain
Parents work in Finance? Remain
She also has an A* in Economics, so she knows just how damaging Brexit to the economy.
Valneva SA said the U.K. government is canceling a supply contract for Covid-19 vaccines, a blow to the French drugmaker’s attempt to develop an alternative to existing shots.
The company said Monday it contests allegations by the U.K. government that it’s in breach of its obligations under the agreement.
