Scientists have already established that the virus only spreads when people are standing side by side, like in bars, and not from back to front, like in queues.

Used to play it a long time ago. Yeah, it’s fun. You need four, though. Don’t gamble, though. You can lose a lot of money quickly!

Booked my hotel near my parents for Christmas! The town they live in had the plague in the 1340s & 1660s, so they are used to it.

More days the better!

All very well, but what stance is Poland taking on big issue this halloween - trunalimunumaprzure?

Keep practising your rugby.

Biden & Obama have come up with an innovative campaign strategy. They are refusing to allow the public to come to their events & in fact are keeping the locations a secret. https://www.abc12.com/2020/10/30/biden-and-obama-coming-to-flint-for-drive-in-event/ Meantime Pres Trump is doing five rallies per day of the conventional come-one-come-all type. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/10/five-per-day-trump-campaign-rally-schedule-announced-final-days-campaign/

Wonder if Fulton County, Georgia can beat the impressive 154% voter turnout figures it managed back in the July local primaries? https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/fulton-election-results-show-more-100-turnout-4-pr/242919134/

And in fact....same time!

Are you saying that the Eurosport Commentator is wrong? No, obviously the timings are wrong!

Roglič and Carapaz now on the same time, for the first time in the entire history of Grand Tours since last week.

Roglič gets it, so 10 secs bonus & maybe 1 more in a split.

Building up to a sprint today, but there’s a short steep climb up to the line, so wide open.

Macron’s lockdown plans are going to backfire catastrophically as les Parigots flees their charnel house city for leurs maisons de campagne. Expect anyone with a 75 licence plate to be treated like the central characters in a seventies low-budget horror film by les autochtones. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8895437/Coronavirus-France-Gridlock-thousands-try-flee-Paris-ahead-new-month-long-lockdown.html

First World Cup. There’s usually some pre-season races from Norway to be found round the Internet. Same for cross country.

It’s Insane Wave week again in https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8893111/Extreme-surfers-giant-65ft-waves-Portugal.html For those not familiar with Imperial units of measurement, 65 feet is about 27 аршинов, 1 локоть.

Deceuninck-Quickstep’s 100th Grand Tour win, not bad. Cofidis....still a bit of a gap.

You get into difficulties very quickly if you blur the line between victims & criminals.

Tricky lead-in at the end with some spectacular accordion-effect turns. Ackerman got the lead-out he wanted, but Bennett closed him down in the last 20m. Everyone else home safely.

Fans of boring sport in for a treat today with long flat sprinters stage through post-harvest wheat fields. 105km to go. Should be a Sam Bennett day, barring crashes.

We have literal actual vultures following the race today, so not a good time for out-of-contract riders to crash. 20k to go, breakaway almost caught & peloton approaching the big final climb. Hugh Carthy goes for it on the steepest part of the climb, Kuss goes with him, others struggling. 3k of agony left. Valverde like a roulette player in Vegas - is losing everything he gained yesterday & more. Carapaz & Roglič now going for it, Carthy & Dan Martin trailed. Vlasov going for the stage, truce among the top four. Final is Roglič. Gains about 20 secs net with bonus. Carapaz Dan Martin

Unless you’re protected by the well-known COVID cures of burning cars & broken glass, of course. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-54708533

Crowd at the Joe Biden rally will warm up using the hula-hoops provided.

Because nothing says more about respecting the constitution than invading an elected Chamber.

All of a sudden Tao Geoghegan Hart appears in the British ES adverts for Zwift bikes.
