 Wouldn't want to be in Boris's shoes tomorrow......he is going to get well criticized whatever he does.

 I wonder if it will be a bit like the budget. Generally very taxing and safe, but at the end he pulls out a surprise rabbit ...... and gives some more freedom earlier than expected (Easter?)

Vit D is basically a freeroll, so I wouldn't worry about it too much

This is quite good news, too.

Cliffs

The latest #REACT study from
@imperialcollege
 shows a rapid fall in infection levels, by over two thirds since the last study.

Levels are now put at 0.51% (4/2 to 13/2), compared with 1.57% (6/1 to 22/1), and are still falling.

Good news....big fall in London , but North East not so.

 I wonder if regional tiers might be back on the agenda moving forward, even though Boris wants to move as one.

 
Ah good old Mick 

Twitter account seems to have gone, surprisingly.

This channel is pretty good, and usually nice short videos, too.

Ahh, he was just on radio 5 live with Adrian Childs.

Interestingly he completely dismissed taking Vit D as helping fight Covid, which slightly pissed me off as I've just bought another 3 months worth 

Maybe, maybe not......

In West London, a work colleague and her family of 6 all picked up Covid in late March (had the symptoms but no tests at that time)...caught from someone staying with them , whose symptoms were mild but lost his sense of smell.

Roll on to yesterday and some of her family has it again! (new variant running through London?)..this time with positive NHS tests. Luckily mild symptoms so far.

So 9 months apart...can you get this bloody Covid/variant again?

[So George, where did it all go wrong]

Some great Best quotes......


So George, where did it all go wrong?
The hotel bellboy who delivered champagne to Best's room and found him entertaining a scantily-clad Miss World on a bed covered with his winnings from the casino.

I've stopped drinking, but only while I'm asleep.
George Best provides some dark humour about his addiction.

The only thing I have in common with George Best is that we come from the same place, play for the same club and were discovered by the same man
Norman Whiteside.

I think I've found you a genius.
The telegram sent to Manchester United by talent scout Bob Bishop, who discovered a 15-year-old Best playing for Cregagh Boys' Club.

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: "What's an IQ?"
Best on Paul Gascoigne.

I'd give all the Champagne I've ever drunk to be playing alongside him in a big European match at Old Trafford.
Eric Cantona impressed Best.

In 1969 I gave up women and alcohol - it was the worst 20 minutes of my life.
George Best - ever the joker.

I was in for 10 hours and had 40 pints - beating my previous record by 20 minutes.
Best on the blood transfusion after his liver transplant.

He's not George Best, but then again, no-one is.
Commentator Clive Tyldesley.

I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.
Best on cash.

Utter bellends. Why does it not start till Thursday!

They have to debate it in the commons Stuart and plus we need enough time to stock up on toilet roll ...

Works for us....gives us time to  operate “ normally “ for a few days whilst sorting out staff/ clients/ going online for a month.

For restaurants/caterers etc , also gives them time to use up what’s in the kitchen!

Oh my god, I’m so sorry to hear that.

Thoughts are with you, Take care and stay strong.

[Race Winner - Lewis Hamilton]

Two bets to suggest ahead of the Eifel GP.

Race Winner - Lewis Hamilton @ >EVS -  basically always happy to take >EVS on Lewis to win from second place. I am slightly concerned that he was a little bit sulky yesterday after qualifying, but on the flip side mixed conditions are likely today and that's where Lewis really shines. Suggest 10 points.

Top Six Finish - Lando Norris @ 6/4 - McLaren were disappointed at qualifying 8th & 10th yesterday, and both drivers complaned about their set-up. However what I'm seeing of the car on track doesn't really correlate to their comments which is a bit confusing for me. That car looks very dialled into the circuit - particularly with rotation at the front end. If we do get mixed conditions, that should play into the team's hands, so 6/4 is a small bet here. 2.5 points.

- Hamilton did win the race, aided by Valtteri Bottas retiring.
- Sainz finished top six fairly comfortably.
- Norris looked likely to finish top six until his car gave way.

2/3 bets won for a decent profit overall.

 

 

 Extremely sad news.

 Watching the WPT with his commentary was such an enjoyable influence in getting to know and love the game.

 RIP Mike

[Practice One Winner - Sergio Perez @ 14/1]

I have been looking through the F1 markets all week ahead of the Hungarian GP this weekend, but contrary to my expectations everything seems well priced.

The only place I feel like we have an edge is the following:

Practice One Winner - Sergio Perez @ 14/1. This race is critical in determining how the rest of the season will play out. Racing Point are quick, but they've yet to fulfill their potential and I suspect they may be quicker than Red Bull right now. Having said that, Red Bull should also be much closer to Mercedes this weekend (without ever really challenging them) on the downforce dependant Hungaroring - so the battle between those two should be close. Anyhow, the possibility of Mercedes and Red Bull sandbagging in first practice, coupled with this bet being offered on EW top three terms, makes this price appealing. Suggest 5 points EW (1-3 1/5).

I will continue to review the markets as the weekend plays out and let you know if I spot anything else.

Perez finished 3rd in FP1, so that'll be settled at 14/5.

Nice little profit....thanks.

Got my Ayrton. Good luck, Peter!

Cheers Peter.......exactly my thoughts 

Very sad news, such a lovely person.
