    Things that annoy you

    I think that consistently calling someone by the wrong name is plain fucking insulting. Try getting his (or her, or their) preferred pronoun wrong and see how long it is before you end up in front of HR for harassment! Speaking as someone whose surname is often used as a forename but people are...

    Things that annoy you

    just buy one and take it home, cut it up and make some food AND a halloween decoration out of it? Pub i was at on Saturday had a pumpkin risotto with pumpkin seed pesto on their menu (Kings Arms, Mickleton - amazing fish and chips). And the hollowed out remains were on the bar with a tealight...

    I trust Mark Robins

    I think the inability to hit the target COULD be the manager's fault - maybe in the coaching set-up, or the type of training they do. Let's hope they start scoring soon, because no matter whose fault it is, the manager WILL get the blame .. and the boot!

    I trust Mark Robins

    This isn't just a run of bad results. Our season hasn't got started yet! That said, we are, bizarrely, only 5 points off 6th!

    Things that annoy you

    I'm constantly bemused by people who steadfastly refuse to accelerate even slightly past 30mph when they are travelling on a straight road and the 30 zone is ending in 50 yards.

    We really enjoyed our time driving from DC to Key West this year. Went through some amazing places and talked to loads of interesting locals. Some of the food was sensational, like the BBQ places in South Carolina and the seafood in the Keys. But you've gotta like your meat! And shopping in...

    Military-trained firearms instructor, apparently. And there are reports of him having had "previous" MH issues. REALLY? You DON'T say! I'd say they were pretty much ongoing if i was any judge.

    2023 Ryder Cup

    I haven't seen exactly what went on on the 18th on Saturday, but seemingly Kantlay's caddy got in Rory McIlroy's face when he was preparing to take his putt. The rowdiness of the crowd is one thing, but you simply cannot let it spill over into bad sportsmanship by participants. If Luke Donald is...

    Possibly in polite company, but the flight deck always make the tannoy announcement "Cabin crew: Seats for landing, or Doors to manual and cross-check, or "Prepare cabin for arrival", etc.

    Did the stewardess feel left out, i wonder? And how come Sky News is still using 1980s parlance for cabin crew?

    (which i didn't see at the time - sorry!) ... however, they are still afforded additional protections in many areas of life, including the workplace, until 18.

    Russell Brand

    Is it that the position of trust has to be a formal one? He has no duty of care towards someone unless he is their boss, i would have thought.

    Russell Brand

    Correct ... provided that you also carry on formal education or training.

    Sorry if i have ignored intervening responses, but i'm just catching up on this thread. Certainly under health & safety law (which i assume is consistent with other general Acts and Regulations), someone is a "Young Person" under the age of 18 and a "Child" below the age of 16. So a "Young...
