    @joey Global warming started well before the Millenials came on the scene. We’ve all been dealing with global warming for decades. The Millenials aren’t exactly doing anything about through their actions either.

    @kerry Not sure that would help. Sounds like the Op was in, but the postman didn’t want to deliver their package. Perhaps he didn’t feel like carrying it on the house or some.

    Op, Any thing particularly heavy? Assuming the video doesn’t identify where you live post it on their Facebook feed, might make someone pay attention?

    They are in France. A perfectly fine country.


    @andypandy
    True. But the chances are most of the refugees, if they speak a second language speak English. Do you think they would have a better chance of rebuilding their shattered lives in France or the UK in this situation? What would you do in that situation?

    I use those melatonin capsules from time to time. They really help me get to sleep and back to sleep when I wake up.

    @mark1 They should be referring you to occupational health before asking you about resignation really….unless you brought resignation up?
    Taking the time to work things out is good – if you can figure out what’s triggering it then you might be able to find ways to manage it. To be fair to your employers, if you can’t give them something to go on then they’re going to struggle to put anything in place that will help.

    Can you play about with the angle of the handlebar stem? Some can be flipped over which raises/lowers the bars? Could help you to get a more relaxed arm.

    As I’ve got more ancient, I’ve had to alter my cycling posture a lot, and changed from drops to straight bars. Never had a problem with elbows, though, for me its mainly hands, neck and @rse!

    From the first case, it seems evidence of innocence wasn’t updated on the file. Looks like mistakes were made because people were too busy.

    Don’t know about the rest, but the fuse should be small enough to protect the cable feeding the motor.

    Sorry I know little about cars.

    This started a few days ago. The mother of the child was on social media then saying it is nothing, just a storm over nothing etc and she isn’t the least bit offended as cheeky monkey is just a phrase.

    @angrydude It’s not just the fact he called those countries shitholes, it’s that he was saying that people from those (predominantly black,) countries shouldn’t be allowed into America.

    Why would calling unspecified countries “shithole” be racist?


    @angrydude
    Seriously? Applying such a word to entire countries and by clear implication all of their inhabitants? And he was referring to specific countries (all predominantly black) while approving the idea of immigrants from Norway (predominantly white, especially in his mind).

    There’s an argument that he’s ‘nativist’ rather than ‘racist’ but it’s a distinction without a difference and certainly a nuance wasted on him.

    I give evidence a lot for work at Crown Court. The court staff will be really nice and put you at ease, always ask of you’re unsure.

    If at Crown- the biggest tip I got is always speak to the jury, not the barrister asking questions. I know it seems weird that you don’t face the person asking the question, but the barrister is there to ask questions to paint a picture to the jury so always direct your answer at them.

    If the judge asks you a question though make sure you answer them facing them! And call them Your Honour (Judges are really up their own arseholes and stupid like that).

    Take some food with you too as very few courts have canteens these days and you could be there all day without being called.

    You’ll be fine 🙂
