He is, and to be honest I have only heard good things about him. He was in line to be the Chief of Defence Staff but it's felt that he lost out because he was a Royal Marine, and instead the post went to an Army bod, Carter, who has not been doing that well.
Carter has been a disappointment but is due to move on soon. Magowan may get it but RMs tend to be overlooked which is a shame as they are ideal for joint force understanding. Carlton-Smith will probably get the post though, although his reputation in Afghanistan and elsewhere is much better. Look out for Adm Jerry Kyd in a few years. tis the way everywhere, if your good at your job you never get promoted ,if you just getby then you get to lower management supervisors etc , The nature of rupert bootnecks job means he is far to important to move sideways from the navy

Well said. I have already mentioned that I isolate anyway but this is awful, even the postie stands back from you and leaves the machine that you sign, on the doorstep, after wiping it down. I don’t think I have ever felt this level of complete isolation and I don’t have immediate family so I rely on my niece and nephew to pop in, when they are able. Thank god I kept Netflix. I am constantly amazed that despite how serious Boris is when he explains the gravity of the situation, there are still a huge number of people that just don't get it. I phoned my 89 y/o father yesterday to make sure he was following guidelines. I explained that even though he only lives around the corner, I would not be visiting for the foreseeable future - or at least only talking to him from the end of the driveway, bringing shopping to hand over at the door etc. "Are you now safely locked down?" I asked, "yes, we have just got back from the bank." His partner explained that they would be going to the supermarket together, but Dad would wait in the car!! . My sister was far more brutal - she apparently told him that if he ended up in hospital and it was a choice of a ventilator for him or for a child, it would be given to the child! but I expect they will carry on virtually as normal like hundreds of others. I've also been to the shops this morning, and there were more people over 70 than under - I'm not sure if they simply don't have anyone to look after them and shop for them, in which case I am doing them an injustice. As for the under 70s, they all wanted to be in my space, the new phrase "social distancing" hasn't reached Oldfield Park yet - I actually couldn't wait to get back in to my house. If Boris could have seen the street today he would be raging, and at this rate the country will get what's coming to it! Rant over, now can we just get back to talking about something more cheerful? .... just for a few moments? Some shop and supermarkets are opening earlier and will only allow older people in for the first hour so hopefully that will help them

Waiting to hear some more info on what the company I work for our planning for. Some people already working at home, but business is through the floor obviously and won't get any better the longer it goes on One moment you think we will pull through and the next you fear the worst. Not great for the mental health. Hard sat in the office with no mojo or to concentrate on the work you do have. Who want's to get stuck into looking at the things that need sorting in the books when there is no cash coming in. Going to be a tough time for us all. Hope Governments can come through for everyone that needs it Stay safe everybody Head down n carry on fella, just be thankful we are in a low infection area (that could change any second), As for work i know at present no one can get into it, but i would do those books as when its all over at least you job was up to date and the you will probably get a fighting chance at holding on to your job when its over. I think a lot companies will use this as an excuse to cut the dross, horrible thought but more than likely. If you feel your mental health is suffering a bit pm me and we can have a chinwag on the phone as i don't know you it will probably be easier for you to vent, Anything you say will be in strictest confidence i have a dark morbid sense of humour so will not be offended at anything anyone says to me, If you feel you need to talk but wont talk to someone on here then these guys are always there have various ways to contact them SAMARITANS CALL 116 123, i would suggest everyone puts that number in your phone as it will help many people in the coming months. I would also advise people to find something to do if you have to stay home, as keeping busy will help some

Today's Top Tips: If you haven't already got one I'd recommend buying a Bread Making Machine. You can buy the mixes ready made, and usually you just add water to the mix. It has the added bonus of having that beautiful bakery smell in the house. Freshly baked bread has a better smell than any artificial fragrance for the house. I've had one for years and you can make some really good different types of bread in them. Planning on decorating somewhere in the house this year? Now is a good time to buy the paint/brushes etc before all the shops are closed. If you have to isolate for two weeks, start planning now for things to do. Painting the Living Room while stuck at home for two weeks seems to be a good thing to keep you occupied. Anyone have any other good tips regarding things to do while isolating? We have used a bread maker for years and agree the taste and smell is lovely. We also make our own soups on occasions. Because we are always likely to be called to hospital we try and keep 1-2 weeks worth of groceries in the cupboards anyway. My wife has visions me doing the garden at the moment which needs some tlc after the winter. Asked wend to get some flour and yeast from tescos today none on the ruddy shelf, no bog roll either, but on a different note if people are struggling with something to wipe with, buy some blue workshop paper Workshop towels then just cut em in 1/2 ive had to do it a few times , or revisit your childhood newspaper squares held together with string. i miss the feeling of the outside privvy at 6am in winter time

In response to Innee I have a condition whereby i have to force my muscles to work , or else i tend to seize up. I would normally visit the gym 3/4 times a week , but its a catch 22 by the way of leaving myself open to picking up the virus Cheers for the response, Ann Marie Irene (R.I.P) ,suffered from md and when she had a few easy days away from day care ,she would have issues with her muscles, so yeah not a nice position for you to be in and genuinely hope you don't get too out of shape

So we are recovering now but for the last week we have been quite unwell and I'm tempted to suggest that it could well have been COVID19. Was a bit rough, I was the least affected but son and wife were poorly. Hopefully coming to the end of it now if it even was that. Whatever it was you had,I hope you and the family are feeling better. I have to report back into the secondary office tomorrow! The guy who was suspected of having the virus has tested negative, so we are being called back in. Seems a bit of a strange decision as once we had been sent home and we've got everything working you would have thought that we should just carry on doing that ! The other crazy thing is that my company are making a fortune during this crisis! So what your saying is fritz ,has been buying up all the bog roll and selling it on at a profit, damn bosch

Grrr you ruddy remainers and yer bloody virus picking on those older brexiters just josing stu, but on another note, it was nice to see the eu getting behind italy and sending much needed equipment the unity is amazing You mean nation states decided what is their best interest and Brussels couldn't force them? Surely not! 😉 See i always thought the benefits of belonging to the fourth (or thousand year Reich) was equality for all member states and help in these situations, a few masks could have been sent over and more made but hey

Over here in France there is now total lockdown. All Schools, Bars, Shops, Restaurants etc were previously closed . Now we are confined to our houses for a minimum of 2 weeks. We cannot leave at all without completion of a government form even just to go to the supermarket otherwise if caught we face being fined. Does there come a point at which the damage to people’s health through isolation and long term catastrophic impact on the economy, jobs etc outweighs the benefits of this current strict method of managing the situation? If tens of thousands of businesses are forced out of existence, people lose their jobs, less tax revenue, cuts to benefits/health.....will this lead to more deaths and health issues in the longer term? Eric the act of isolation will have a negative effect on peoples health, especially those who suffer from various mental illnesses, I have mental issues but i'm one of the lucky ones as if i had to isolate myself it really wouldn't bother me as i have always been ok in my own company and in the past have locked myself away for months on end. Others will not be so lucky and i suspect more than a few will suffer from diagnosed mental issues due to being isolated . I know several people who would be climbing the walls if they had to stay indoors i have a good friend over 70 who will be in his own company for a few months, but i can talk to him via skype so that's a positive i spose. There is also the reality that many from differing age groups have injuries or disabilities that can only be managed by walking and forcing their muscles to work, again theres a hell of a lot of people from all age groups who for one reason or another have a screwed up immune system. Then theres the scenario of thousands of job losses and the immediate effects on some of their mental health, again this will lead to many suicides alone. The reality i spose is a large portions of families who will lose someone they know so i believe the knock on effects of this virus will be around for a long time after its eradicated.

Interesting but on a personal level i disagree with her players will still be at risk, even if playing behind closed doors especially with the amount of flob all over the pitch, Another way of looking at it is just say 3 or 4 players from a club go down with it a weaker team would be fielded with the possible consequence of skewed results, i read something earlier about promoting those in the top spots, no relegation then bringing the numbers of teams back to the correct levels over a season or two

Most of the "insurance companies are trying to get out of paying" BS is due to the policyholders not reading their policy documents properly and expecting cover for absolutely everything.
If its covered, its covered. If its not, its not. Quite simple really
Exactly. Genuine claims get paid, events that are not covered don’t get paid and insurers have a responsibility to all their other policyholders and premium payers to investigate claims that could be false or fraudulent. I used to deal with critical illness claims. Most were paid and did exactly what they said on the tin as applicants have answered all the required underwriting questions honestly. Occasionally you would get a claim made for cancer for example but during the assessment it becomes obvious the individual had symptoms or previous incidence in the past but deliberately didn’t disclose this before the cover started. You then get a lot of noise about ‘Insurance Company X’ didn’t pay out even though I have cancer and the public make a judgement based on that - at the same time wanting cheap premiums for their own policies! Not sure how this has turned into an insurance company thread so and I’ve not helped that so will try and finish up now! Please can we have football back 🙏 Nah theres a virus

How would that they work out for Roy Hodgeson? He's what 72? If he has to self-isolate, how does he manage Crystal Palace, or does he get special dispensation? He's over 70 so would be like everybody else in that age bracket. He's not treated differently just because he's a football manager. The obvious thing for me would be for the assistant to take over and have regular contact with Hodgson over the phone/video conferencing. I suspect football will not be played again this year, i also suspect that players will be told to stay in trim on their own ,so in theory that will be that however if he did turn up for training every day and got ill ,well thats self inflicted and selfish

Media hysteria and scaremongering is making people think someone like Hodgson ‘breaking his curfew’ would be arrested and hit with a 4 figure fine. Speak for yourself 😋 Anyone missing Brexit yet? Who said 2020 would be quiet? Grrr you ruddy remainers and yer bloody virus picking on those older brexiters just josing stu, but on another note, it was nice to see the eu getting behind italy and sending much needed equipment the unity is amazing
