Assume v. Presume

[EEPhil]

I'm Matt Hancock: They think it's all over, it is now.

That's three different Hancocks you could use with that: Nick (from the TV programme), Tony (in bad taste) and now Matt.

For the sake of gender equality you should add Sheila to that list.

Wearing a mask would have saved him from more than Covid, silly man.

Workplace hanky-panky ... Lost job ... Failed marriage.

OMG, Matt Hancock is human

In what sense is it all over for Sheila? (I'd forgotten about her anyway )

 

[EEPhil]

Matt Hancock is human

Are you sure?

A full-body condom might have been better.

Are you sure?

No.
I always thought he was an android, but this sudden burst of human behaviour has caused me to re-evaluate.

"All Over is a two-act play written in 1970 by Edward Albee" She played the daughter, a little tenuous I admit.

Anno domini, I should think!

But who planted the camera?

 

[EEPhil]

And who leaked the photograph to the press?
Hancock was caught and there is no excuse. But there is something fishy about the way this has occurred. If Cummings was still working for Boris I'd have thought he might have had something to do with it. But now, who knows?

 

[Black Hole]

...and why has it taken since 6th May?

Regardless, it seems to me Boris is too unwilling to reprimand his cronies even when they've been caught with their hands in the till (as it were). This leads me to wonder whether Boris himself is all that upstanding. As one who walked away from a corrupt committee, I've seen it all before.

I have my doubts. But it seems the Great British public don’t mind. I do.

But what are the alternatives?

 

[EEPhil]

But what are the alternatives?

For the Conservatives - I’d like to say anyone but Boris. But the talent pool is rather empty. As for a replacement government - Er... something tells me we’re stuffed!

The game between Switzerland and Spain tonight had a scorebar that read SUI v SPA.

Surely there should have been some consistency and it should have read either SUI v ESP or SWI v SPA ?

 

[Black Hole]

According to ISO 3166-1 alpha-3, Spain should be ESP but Switzerland is CHE

Apparently, that comes from the Latin: Confoederatio Helvetica

...which also explains where the Helvetica font got its name (I had no idea that meant Switzerland).

Not quite. Otherwise this evenings match will be UKR v ???
Try https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FIFA_country_codes
which should give UKR v ENG.

Obviously not a stamp collector when you were a little boy.
