Michael Burry, one of the Big Shorts who bet against the housing market pre crash, is opposed to the lockdown strate

None bigger than wur big pal Lorenzo playing in a legends' game.  Was this the sort of 'big shorts' you had in mind?

Meanwhile, applications to enter Mathayom 1 (Grade 7) and Mathayom 4 (Grade 10) will be submitted through an online system later this month. If the pandemic continues, entrance exams will also be organised online.

The minister admitted, however, that online exams were not cheat-proof and were difficult to conduct successfully. The ministry was trying to find a way to devise a most effective and fair test, he said.

Exams at home and you can't cheat....

t'll only be choc a block with shite if you're friends with shite. If your friends are sound then you won't have a problem.

This is fine in theory but I have had a mate and a family member send Janey Godley videos via WhatsApp in recent days. Yer never safe.

Why pay tax on revenue? That's just nuts. It would put all low margin businesses at disadvantage. 

I wanted to avoid using tax on profit as there are too many ways to muddy those waters.  Top line revenue is too simplistic,  I agree.

This is the problem with Facebook as you usually add people you know and have met as friends which determines what comes on your time hop and you can’t always say what you want as you know people can see it and it can come back to you IRL.
its handy for keeping in touch with people you haven’t seen in a while and for community groups though, I have been on 2 groups for the developments I have lived in and it would be no surprise to see individuals naming and shaming households where people weren’t at their front door clapping despite lights clearly being on inside the house. Some people are truly awful. 
I am currently supporting the NHS by sending Mrs B out to do extra shifts for the cause, and making her the odd salad here and there. I dont see why I should have to do more than that.

Wallopers panic-bought perishable food and making banana loaf is pretty much the only thing worth doing with past-it bananas.

Going by the initial shortages that first week or so, there'll also be a lot of people eating nothing but spag bol for the foreseeable.

Saw something yesterday when I nipped down for some things at the local freezer shop which I hadn't really considered before, and must be a problem for some places. There was an old boy in front of me  - maybe late seventies - who got into a conversation at the till as his stuff was getting rung up, and then stood there attempting to carry it on by himself for at least a minute after he was ostensibly good to go, with the lassie behind the till assiduously not making eye contact and giving nothing back before he eventually wandered off.

When I moved forward, she told me that kind of awkward moment was happening to her twenty times a day just now...the staff have been told not to get into long conversations at the till to minimise contact, but the old yins who sadly maybe don't speak to anybody else all day just haven't got the memo that things have changed and will still try to stand and shoot the shit not understanding they're putting themselves - and indeed her - at risk.

The actual state of you.

Ironically you were probably hoping harder than anyone else on P&B that BoJo would croak, just so you could get into a state at those nasty Nats

And also because you're a creepy wee bigot.

Facebook is basically a bigger version of the Juniors forum.
