    24 Hours in Police Custody

    Felt really sorry for the Police Officer who put the case together with good hard evidence only to see them get off. He looked so dejected afterwards, how the fuck do they stay motivated to when things like that happen.

    I'm giving blood tomorrow...

    Did it about 6 months ago for the first time, very easy to do and straight forward. I did feel a bit out of it and tired for a couple of days after it though.

    Sky Blue Tavern

    Drove past this afternoon and the wife (eyes like a shit house rat.......misses nothing) asked "what's that" ? referring to the Tavern. Took the time to explain the concept and the reasoning behind it, to which she responded "well it's in the wrong place and they will never fill it". There are...

    Things that annoy you

    They should be fucking shot!!!!! Also 'triple cooked chips'. Thats just a way of cooking them all in one go and then keeping them in a heater until they need to dish them up. Cook them once and do the fucking job properly!!

    Things that annoy you

    When you order fish and chips in a restaurant and they put the fish on top of the chips when they dish it up. Sends the fucking chips soggy!!!!

    Which classic car would you have?

    Am looking for a Classic Car, but one with a good Coventry heritage. Narrowed it down to a Sunbeam Alpine or a Triumph GT6, there are other I know but these two really appeal to me. Thought I had found a decent GT6, the pictures and description were excellent so went to look at it yesterday...

    Sean Lock

    Remember seeing a Christmas episode a few years ago where, for some reason, they had a huge bottle of whiskey that they kept passing round and taking swigs out of. Sean Lock was hilarious, even funnier than usaul. Saw him at Warwick Uni a few years ago, absolutely hilarious.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Very similar situation where I used to work (recently retired......thank god!!!). We had people put on courses that bore no relation to the role they were expected to undertake but were told to carry on because there was no alternative. This is in health care. Am pretty sure that any...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Utterly agree, the ones I have had to deal with have never been challenged, they have just been given a series of tasks to be competent at and then get signed off. The lack of structured development is shocking and they get into a mindset of learning 'just enough'. At that young age they do...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Think you have really hit the nail on the head, the whole concept of an 'apprenticeship' seems to have been hijacked and the term is now applied to any training scheme that involves young people. Served an engineering apprenticeship at a large company in Coventry and it included an in depth...

    Well that's really good to hear, not heard too much about it in the media, unlike just about every other aspect of COVID.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    When this all kicked off (at the time I was working in a hospital and was ward based) there was a lot of talk about there being some kind of genetic link, in as much as how some people got it and some didn't. This seem's to be the case with regard to catching it after being double jabbed, some...
