Agree you don’t get the atmosphere with most bands but some hit the mark.....
I rewatched a Prodigy gig the other day (from about ‘91) And I still found myself dancing around the front room to ‘Voodoo People’....much to my 13 year old daughters horror
I think there is no doubt there will be repercussions from the effects of the close down for clubs ... especially down the leagues. Though I wouldn’t be surprised to see a few Championship clubs come out worse. Hopefully we have been lucky/prudent/well managed to come out of this better than most. I can’t see how the wider sport ‘business’ won’t be badly affected. The viral ‘fingers’ will be having a strangling impact far and wide for sure.
Further to your question, after speaking to a couple of mates (1 furloughed, 1 not) it seems there is possibly gonna be a draw every 3 weeks to choose the 70% of staff that are gonna be off.
If it’s gonna be done, on the face of it, seems a pretty fair way to do it.

Apparently the figures for March alone dragged the first quarter GDP estimate to -2.5%.
Economists (yeah I know, me neither) predicting a recession of ‘unprecedented’ depth.
More tangibly the near 1,000,000 universal benefit claims of the last couple of weeks have wiped out the growth in jobs for the last year. And these are just the ones that have been processed.

Still worth putting cash into my stocks and shares ISA ?
Use their system against them
Just got an e-mail from my bank informing me their interest on savings accounts and ISAs has been cut from an enormously generous 0.1% to 0.01%. The only further step they have is to charge you for keeping it in their account. Watch this space...
Seriously??????
People across the UK are apparently burning cellphone masts and abusing engineers on the street over baseless conspiracy theories linking the coronavirus to 5G networks

So even more so worth taking the gamble on shares going up once this is over ?
Be interesting to see if the Huawei deal goes through. I hope it doesn't because the name is a nightmare to say and spell.
Always recommended to buy at the bottom of the market but we don't yet know how far there is to go on that one. Very risky for the uninitiated...
5G is, last I knew, untested in its biological effects on humans, animal, insect life etc. Requires lots of trees to be felled to facilitate clear line of sight required for use. Has been criticised heavily by some health ministers of EU countries.
Agree mate, that’s why a stocks and shares ISA might be the way forward, they make the decisions for you .....got one already but might pump a few more quid in
Woody do you know what?................... There is a method in your madness. I cannot knock or mock you on this because I have witnessed weird things of late. That bloke on the internet that discussed liberties only for it to be taken down? Bloody hell the amount of stuff on YouTube which is utter bollox manages to stay... yet an interesting thought-provoking thing gets taken down? All this crap about Google letting the government know where you are FFS! strange times we live in.
Hard to believe some of the sh*t going down at the moment, there seems to be a collective madness surfacing...
Who’d have thought you’d become my wing man!?
Reading through bits of that bill are quite frightening.
Your tin foil hat with highly sensitive antenna is in the post. You won’t believe some of the things that will become clear to you.
