    Maybe more of the super rich can sponsor shirts like Kane, that was a lovely idea

    Well it was inevitable.
    Unable to visit the barbers,Mrs Bure was pressed into action with the shears.
    After much debate and differing opinions I can confirm that all went well.
    Yul Brynner comes to mind,but not bad.

    I had the same problem ten days ago, but given that I also have a beard, which I keep neatly trimmed, usually, Mrs GE made a botch of the hirsute operation.

    I was asked to trim my wife's fringe and did so. I've now been asked to do it again. She wants to do my hair, but I'm holding out!<whistle>

    According to the report in the EDP, the player featured in the friendly against Spurs but "had no close contact" with any Spurs player. This made me wonder what on earth he was doing while on the pitch -- until the article helpfully explained that "close contacts" have been defined "by government as being within two metres of a confirmed case for 15 minutes or more". So the infected player could have showered the entire Spurs team and his own colleagues with virus-carrying droplets without ever coming into "close contact" with any of them?

    Given how contact tracing is meant to put anyone in the general public who has contact with an infected person into isolation, seems ridiculous that the Prem can come up with a definition that basically means there's no circumstances where a Prem player should isolate if another is infected.

    Whose bright idea was it to allow friendlies to go ahead in the time between swabs being taken and results obtained?

    Hopefully this can be nipped in the bud and hasn't already spread further within our squad or Spurs' squad. And the player is ok and tests negative in time for the Southampton game. That's going to be really tight though.

    According to the EDP, this is a government definition, which the EPL is simply adhering to. I've looked for an official statement publicising the definition, but without success, but I did find an interview with the Deputy Chief Medical Officer (Dr Jenny Harries) in which she refers specifically to three criteria -- proximity (i.e. within 2 metres), length of time in proximity, and the environment in which the contact takes place, e.g. indoor or outdoors, confined space (e.g. bus or plane) or open space (no examples). The latter criterion (environment) is, I suppose, what differentiates a football pitch from a supermarket. If it was just a case of close proximity for at least 15 minutes, most of us could do our supermarket shopping without ever being in "close contact" with anyone else.

    And by the way, can anyone tell me what the point is of "flattening the curve". The fewer people who contract the disease, the longer the population as a whole remains vulnerable. Meanwhile the calculation of overall harm, including deaths from untreated other illnesses and on-coming economic deprivation shows that flattening the curve saves lives at the expense of more lives than it saves. All those shouting about lockdown being eased too early need to think of what sort of future they are asking for. As President Trump said weeks ago, the "cure" that's been imposed is worse than the disease.

    Bleach is much easier to spell and you can get it at any supermarket, along with a variety of lamps you can try to shove down your throat. Yes, Trump is such a deep thinking and well informed president. <laugh>
