Is the general consensus that Picard isn't shit? That's what I want the consensus to be. I think I maybe even liked it. But I prefer to be deeply disappointed by things, so it's really let me down in that regard. I guess it might still turn out to be shit. I'm going with a slightly high 3*. Stewart is brilliant in it. But some of the dialogue reeks of Alex Kurtzman - very clunky, particularly the last five minutes. |

So who's going to attempt 'suspected coronavirus' as an excuse to get out of work tomorrow?

Greetings. Yesterday I picked up where I left off in Dragon Quest Builders 2. I had forgotten how this isn't a game that you can play for a few minutes at a time as it will always go full on addiction on you. Anyway, after playing for a while it's now become clear that I've entered endgame territory. The game gives you warning: "Your next objective is this... but how about doing a bit more pissing aboutbuilding first?" Yes, thank you, don't mind if I do. There are people who don't have a roof over their head or a bed to sleep in; people who are hungry and without access to a toilet or a bathroom. But more importantly, this floor looks dreadful and I need to change it now. Conchord I had my eye on SteamWorld Quest since it came out not only because it looked interesting but because of its subtitle (" Hand of Gilgamech" - how could I resist?) I got it recently on sale but have not touched it because too many other games. Looks ace, though. At The Other place there's a report on how the mobile phone game Plague Inc. has gained popularity in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak. www.theguardian.com/games/2020/jan/24/pandemic-game-plague-inc-climbs-charts-after-coronavirus-outbreakI totally misread the headline and had to read to the end of the article to understand that the game in question wasn't A Plague Tale: Innocence. I am so very, very, VERY disappointed. |

MrTiddles there, getting it so much it's all over his hands and pooling in his bellybutton. I'm not sorry for saying that. tenthenemy [insert anti-Tory joke of choice here] Destry Having seen the incident at Boro several times, it does look like surprisingly piss-poor reffing, even by the standards of piss-poor reffing. There were a number of cries of "head injury" yesterday from our fans when Coventry approached our goal (so, like, once in the first half). I'm pretty sure it's not just Sheeps who is seething.

Hi!
No awful cinema trips for me today.
I'm having the poifect Sunday. It's chucking it down outside. I've prepared a lasagne to bake later. Now watching the cricket, maybe some association football later. Ganes? Bit more Shadow of the Tomb Raider last night and hopefully tonight. Still not caught Corona virus. All is good for a change. Four stars.

One of the female characters special move was to grab your head and thrust it into her crotch smothering you whilst making sexy noises. Another guy broke your arm (leg? Hmm) off and battered you to death with it - that move was called backwoods beating. Had a copy via a friend of a friend who worked for a Glasgow games dev. Was its provisional title "Saturday Night on the Cathcart Circle"... MrTiddles would be a shoo in for the contract killer |

I'm seething with the ref more than Boro.
We all knew what sort of violent racist lying shit Woodgate is already. It is nice to see his truth telling policy doesn't vary even when he is not under oath.
The ref stopped the game when we were about to score, for what appeared to be a serious injury.
As soon as the game stopped the Boro player got up and made it clear he wasn't hurt.
The ref didn't deal with the faking injury and restarted the game in a way that gave a massive advantage to Middlesbrough compared to the position when he stopped the game.
I see what the ref did as breaking the integrity of the game. I can understand refs who make incorrect calls. It's a fast moving game with potential problems over a wide area. If you aren't perfectly focussed on where the incident occurs at the vital moments it is easy to not see or to misinterpret what happened.
That is not the case here. He' took 5 minutes to reach an appallingly bad decision, that rewarded cheating. There can't be an excuse for that.

The preferred mammal has been taken ill, and I'm feeling a little under the weather.

You should institute complete quarantine immediately.
We'll let you know when it safe to resume contact.

Andy Woolmer goes onto the short list of refs who have properly done us.
Roger Wiseman v stoke
Howard Webb v Wxlvxs
David Elleray in the Worthington Cup final v Liverpool
Andy Woolmer v Boro

Even with the poor implementation the Premier League has managed VAR could only improve things in the Championship. There have been loads of frankly embarrassing errors made by refs i've seen this season. Though the EFL would probably come up with a system that only overturns correct decisions. |

Awful weather here. The coronavirus outbreak has strengthened my desire to bunker down and go into partial hibernation. I might even begin to make a dent in my backlog. Yes, it's econimically not viable to have most of the population staying under the duvet and playing video games for three to four months (except for the video game industry, grocery delivery services and Jeff), but after all, this government's motto is "f*ck business.
Lunch was a warming vegetarian tom yum soup and a goat cheese sandwich with Branston pickle.

I much prefer bad decisions being made by a fallible human being that an unaccountable nameless individual or group hidden away somewhere.

One of the refs up here is also a Tory MP - in some ways, an admirable commitment to full spectrum cuntery.
Picard - I quite enjoyed it, despite not being a massive Star Trek nerd.

Sounds like VAR would have sorted that whole mess out. At the risk of further annoying Sheep it might have shown that Jutkiewicz was offside in any case * so the 'goal' still wouldn't have counted... * To be clear I don't know as I wasn't there, but it has been claimed (only by Boro obviously) |

The tv footage very much shows Juke was onside.
The offside thing is another lie by Woodgate.

To be fair Davis, who flicked the ball on was beyond the last defender.
But behind the ball when it was crossed.
