  1. Another great read on the topic of whats happening now and what might happen next and how global differences may have notably differed outcomes; https://medium.com/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-act-today-or-people-will-die-f4d3d9cd99ca
  2. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/corona-simulator/ Great bit of visual modelling here imo. Also seen that youtube guy with the water bottle/flow thing Ill post that up at some point too.
  3. Brown also takes aim at a familiar opponent, populism, writing that the very idea of global collaboration – and the convening of what would be a “virtual” G20 – sits uneasily with what he describes as the “America first”, “China first”, “India first” and “Russia first” populist nationalism of recent years.

Has Gordon Brown just headbutted a nail through the entire fucking wall?
  4. I believe the idea is to implement the isolation measures in greater unity across the country at a certain point or peak in the curve - going too soon or ofc too late will possibly have less efficacy. You could self-isolate the whole country for 2 weeks now but what happens when we all leave our homes and still the virus is out there ready to spread? It's all quite a dynamic touch and go situation I imagine (not defending any actions here just speccing the possible reasons; i do personally think the UK response has been relatively rather weak and limp) Again Nerdy Nelly here - it isnt just average numbers I believe it refers to the specifics of the geographical spread and technically can't be called a pandemic over an epidemic until its no longer obviously clear where the original epicentre was.
  5. Shit. I well thought I was in the funny thread after the unseenable toad image -.-
  6. Tbf; it landed on our whole fucking planet.
  7. Yo guys! Speaking of hiatuses...;) What/when is this likely to happen for next? I may be interested - mostly gutted I wasn't around sooner for the Kirbs!!
  8. How are ITV/UK handling AEW PPVs atm?
  9. Came on some of these via a more clickbaity site - good chuckle especially for any armchair legalists like me(or if Better Call Saul got your kink up )
  10. did you even bother to read the title of this thread or not ffs?! why do you THINK its in an arcade with a video game within arms reach at all times low lights and no mirrors? this aint some eye contact rodeo son you wanna make friends you do it over TCP/IP protocols, yeah?
  11. Aye can get on that too - first need to get a plan together though! You or @Goafer happy to lead the Arcade Club charge on organisation? I can do some groundwork comms and reach out to folks later; maybe have a few of us organise it together on the side and keep track(rather than just countleas mentions or recommendations of people spilling into here). Ofc not to shut down any voices - if anyone HAS got folks in mind who've lapsed just message them yourself personally and tell them to come on down and post in here! All are welcome; old and new. Meetups aren't the forums; and rarely if ever have they not been cool B)
  12. Just watch though guarantee all the beardy folks will end up getting it soon now I've said that
  13. I'm already making sure the beard stays growing if I do get it though; just so it'll be easy to keep safe and also won't lie will help people know how long I've had it compared to some others so who knows I might just still be that guy !
  14. I've been tempted; but if I'm honest I just don't believe it would do much for me if I did. Might just wait and see what everyone else is doing first; fickle as it is.
  15. Ngl kinda bad with the asians/womens generally. I think I know Emi Sakura with the Freddie Mercury vibe and Riho but can't say too much of the actual wrestling sticks with me. I remember quite a while back Emi Sakura matched against a black lady and they did a lovely work with her mic stand; her opponent and the ref. Think she threw a slick kick then took the stand of the ref and mocked her. Those tight little moments are what I like in AEW - tiny theatrics here and there. I think that's also something that's gonna evolve over time as particular athletes find they work well together etc. can suggest some potential stories etc off of that - there does seem to be more creative allowance in the hands of the talent themselves and I do think that'a showing through with some nice little in-ring routines and flashy moves for those comfortable to work it together(kinda imagine less stiff incidents etc from this too).
  16. Yeah I hope a few more move over to AEW(hear its got another year in its belly now?) deffo agree hit and miss but finding their feet. Need to up the female bracket and talent a bit more(Dr Britt Brubaker is a Queen for her gimmick tho; just real fucking amazing and i dunno if I had a daughter I'd well be happy encouraging her into a mixed career of dentistry and wrasslin' :p) and iron out a few kinks but I do find it a abit more...enjoyable? Sometimes matches might drag but oh man when they do plot twists they on the whole seem to do well in hitting the mark(no pun :p). I think its gonna grow into a real shining jewel that hopefully revives and reinvigoratwz the Pro Wrestling fanbase; both old and new!
  17. Never EVER have. Glad its finally coming to Plus. Hope it holds to hype!
  18. As a bigger wrestling guy than me(i inherit the passion by osmosis around a friend of mine; he does all the shiz) how are you finding AEW yourself? Maybe in particular comparison to WWE? I've seen C5 are carrying Raw highlights now too curiously
  19. Soz jumping and doing cardinal sin of next checking thread proper; i'm poss a month or so behind but anybody here follow AEW much?
  20. well well well we'll just have to do us best to get the pandemic started sooner! N-Europe Spring Meetup Wuhan or Hubei 2020?? Bat meat special included for all attendees!
  21. Hi guys; new member here. Anyone ever thought how cool it could be if we all met up??? Can throw it in memory of a guy I think was called ViciousHound or something? I heard he was pretty fucking cool. Gonna throw this over to a gentleman called @Goafer who introduced me to this idea! Let's go people!! (soz mods delete if not allowed i havent been here a while xxx)
  22. Given hunts are usually about 50min allocated and you're new to it I wouldn't say thats horrifically ridiculous as you slowly get used to things; it also has certain quests that stop your rank going up(even tho it is behind the scenes with optionals etc) until you complete those etc. I don't have Iceborne myself but interested as a few folks I know are likely to; however I've only just got help with Tempered Kirin and got end game options etc to do and probs shit to collect so if folks are getting back on for a roam and a chuckle message me on psn - Rumdumcious
  23. Nah Ronnie you don't get that out lol. I will remind you of an old party line - posting is a privilege, not a right. I will tell you here openly and publicly I think you are toxic to this community and did so many years ago. I think continued reaction to you(and my post in addition to a response) is wholly indicative of this. If I had my way on various occasions you'd be gone - but that's the irony. I stayed my hand as a mod as I'm expected to judge fairly and with consideration and did so. I could have had you countless times despite that but let me tell you this - as far as I'm concerned you are on your thinnest of warnings. Also let me tell you this one as a mod right here - if you want right of reply to this post you do so either via PM or on my visitor wall but if you dare seek to try and do it again in this thread then you can face your actions. I'm tired of your disrespect not only for the moderators of this community but also to be quite frank your disrespect for its members and at times for the community itself. You are often toxic to this community(often moreso even than Wii was) and I am tired of it and so help me I will have you for it if you give me the chance, not for me or my ego, but for all these people whose only last resort each time I call you out is to react to my posts or to quote me and reply. It is wholly toxic and it will be swiftly eradicated without your presence. They are tired, and it is you of whom they are tired. Let me remind you again - reply ONLY via my visitor wall OR via PM. Quote me in this and I'll have you for derailing. You want a public audience I'm happy to have it - but you do it on my wall and not in threads. For everyone else here, keep calm, carry on, nothing else to see here. I want no quotes or responses on this unless they are via PM or my visitor wall.
  24. I'm wondering if you pay attention to anything people say in this thread, as Shorty and many others pretty much covered this before and during the change. Honestly your most recent posts here seem to be more agenda'd against Sony than legit posts for dicussion as if that's only what you're posting for - keep it up and I'll look at getting you an infraction. This I say not just for your posting alone, but also how that posting behaviour seems to cause the community to react to you(ie you bait, leading to derails - and before you accuse me of doing exactly that in this post - this is being said as a mod).
  25. PSN leading the way, as per Out of interest any much detail on competitors in the market?
