Not much outdoor time this week as I’m deep
In night shifts but here’s some snaps of my garden in-progress.
Veggie, salad, and herb pots with some wild flower pots and a very young balckberry bush all doing well.
Nets up as the squirrels get into my radishes.
I mean you’re correct.
But actually motive is the one thing that isn’t harmful to speculate about.
Still, best to err on the side of caution. You’re quite right.
I guess it’s like that current Paul Smith comedian. While punters are paying venues to see him, they’ll host him. No matter how distasteful/unfunny he is.
When the venues see a public backlash, they drop them like a bad habit.
I never mentioned sympathy.
I’m not sure the PlayStation, bullied at shool remarks are helpful or even apply here.
I’m suggesting that if we understand what triggered this act, we are best placed to try and prevent it from happening again.
I get you. And you’re absolutely correct.
Even in that case. I don’t think that justifies using PIP to buy duty free fags 🤣
Child benefit should be used for essentials, no?
I dunno. I’m behind the times.
My feeling is that benefits, if needed, should be spent on essentials. Otherwise they’re...
He’s been “cancelled” before. I couldn’t remember what for so I googled his Wikipedia.
Turns out he’s a rather unfunny chap.
From his wiki page;
In July 2021, following the defeat of the England national football team in the final of the UEFA Euro 2020 competitionon penalties to Italy...
Yes. You can be evicted for these things. I have stated that twice now.
That wasn’t what I was saying. You don’t have to ask their permission. Permission is implied but can be withdrawn.
If they withdraw that implied permission you must cease or face being removed or possibly arrested if what...
I mean yeah, it could be seen as funny.
I believe it’s at the root of a lot of issues.
Do nothing . Contribute nothing. And you’ll be okay. You’ll be better than okay.
“You may take photographs or videos, as long as it is for your personal use. Commercial photography needs prior permission from Network Rail or the relevant train company.
Flash photography is not allowed. It could distract train drivers and platform staff, and is a potential safety hazard. You...
You don’t need to ask permission to film on railway stations.
They are private property but the public have an implied invitation. Like car parks.
They can withdraw your permission to be there. They can withdraw your permission to film there. But you do not have to seek their permission to do...
Last year I was sat in a cafe. Okay, The Rainbow.
Family behind me sat at a table. Mum, Dad, two young kids.
They had all their suitcases etc with them. Off on their holidays.
Overheard the man ask the woman
“Have you withdrawn all the child benefit and change to Euros yet”?
No. I’m using...
The big difference is what happened when you got caught then.
Try walking away from a station master 30 yrs ago and telling them to f*** off. You’d be lucky to keep your hide.
Everyone but the absolute dirt poorest kids these days have scooters, branded clothes and trainers. Phones, earbuds, iPads etc.
No reason for stealing stuff like bikes and phones. Luxury items. Never has been a good reason. Never will be.
I had f*** all as a kid.
Used to have to wear my school sports kit as as casual clothes because my mum couldn't afford jeans etc for us.
No PlayStations, trips out, McDonalds, cinema etc. all things kids take for granted now.
I got caught stealing a DC comic from the newsagent and I got the...
I am very picky with cinema times.
Weekday mornings / afternoons and Sunday evenings.
Any other time and it’s 90% guaranteed you’ll get talkers and phone screeners etc.
I remember going on a Saturday afternoon to see Cowboys and Aliens.
This woman came in after the film had started. Loads of...
