    It's just banta innit

    It's NOT fucking banter (I hate that word too, FWIW) - it is fucking offensive and abhorrent reprehensible behavior. It IS an offence under the Public Order Act, and they should be sent to fucking prison for it. THEN they'll understand what rape is all about, stupid little mummy's boys!! I work...

    Rugby league World cup 2021

    I was a bit surprised by BBC CWR having a complete wank-fest over Cov being a "host city" of RLWC2021. It's one fucking match of what is (around here at any rate) a minority sport. They were talking like it was the FIFA world cup final!

    They've got a new stadium to build, you know!!!

    Things that annoy you

    Kenilworth Town Council (or it may be Warwick DC who are responsible) get a mechanical road-sweeper to do the gutters, etc at least once a week, again in rush hour, again the busiest routes. Gets on my tits!

    Maybe, but it is keeping women safe while on the metro.

    Energy Suppliers.

    The problem i found with Green Energy Network was that they only bill you quarterly and never read the meter, so it made it a bit difficult to budget and check if you were on track. Cheap though. Oh, and i ain't getting a smart meter either - waste of time and money.

    While also addressing allegations of secrecy surrounding equal pay for comparable jobs!

    Tweddle suing makers of "The Jump" for neck injury

    It might be that they are not being provided with adequate levels of information, instruction, training and supervision to establish competence, as is required by H&S law. The few times i've seen it, it was more a case of the contestants saying "oh why not, let's give it a go!". I'd be very...

    But then again, so did Utility Warehouse in a Which? survey, and see what people think of them!!

    Tweddle suing makers of "The Jump" for neck injury

    As I understand it from the report, C4 deny all liability. Tweddle says they have tried to settle it amicably, but the back story is she will only be bringing this case now due to the 3 year limit for claims of negligence (although her ongoing neck problems could possibly extend that, if the...

    Tweddle suing makers of "The Jump" for neck injury

    Disclaimers rarely stand up in court these days Dave. It's down to the court to decide whether the claim passes the tests required to demonstrate negligence:- 1. Was the claimant owed a duty of care by the defendant? 2. Was that duty of care breached? 3. Did the breach of the duty of care result...

    Tweddle suing makers of "The Jump" for neck injury

    I see on the Beeb that former gymnast and now mum-to-be (yes, really!) Beth Tweddle is suing the makers of C4 programme "The Jump" for injuries sustained when she hit a barrier on landing back in 2016. They have failed to agree a settlement out of court, so she has issued proceedings against...

    Energy Suppliers.

    The OVO figure of 3% was what was in place when I was with them a few years back. Amazing that it's gone up further! Now with Utility Warehouse for EVERYTHING: Gas, electric, landline, mobile and broadband. I think they can do a deal with Sky too, but I just use my old TalkTalk youview box for...

    Police cars in accidents

    I think "traffic cops" are very highly trained, and very skillful drivers. But I would be interested to know how many of the collisions, 480 write-offs and deaths were caused by "panda cars" (ask your parents, kids!), either directly or by taking it upon themselves to chase a bandido. And the...

    A Strange Custom ?

    Having said all that, I was fortunate to be able to go on holiday to Indonesia a couple of years ago, and we saw a few things in Lombok (a mainly Muslim island) which we were enlightened by. The first was a woman on the beach with her young kids (I don't recall a male adult being around). She...

    A Strange Custom ?

    I love to see other cultures behaving like you describe - that is what makes Britain a wonderful multi-cultural melting pot! What I CANNOT stand is women being oppressed by being made to walk behind the male, or wearing a full burka while he wears a t-shirt and jeans. It will be argued that they...

    Things that annoy you

    There are a lot of in-grained cultural issues that they need to address (the fact that almost everyone has a smart phone and even shanty towns have satellite dishes attached, but they still consider it acceptable to chuck their rubbish out of the window/train, or on the street, etc), but Modi...

    Things that annoy you

    GO!!! It's amazing - providing you are open to being challenged by different cultures. And take a train journey or two. Cheaper than chips and easy to organize. 22 million passengers a day can't be wrong! (Sorry for turning this into the "things that patently don't annoy you" thread!)
