    Crowd trouble

    Big lumps of concrete are most usually deployed on the advice of counter-terrorism to protect crowded spaces from potential vehicle attacks. Not sure what ones you are talking about, but probably not specifically for crowd control

    Crowd trouble

    True, but the total lack of mixing in the concourse due to its construction will trump all of that.

    Canley Dental Practice do NHS work and are back up and running - they emailed me the other day to book my appointment that they cancelled last October!

    Alec Baldwin

    You have to assume that AB hadn't conspired with the armourer to set it up to look like an accident but had something against the woman he shot. I suspect the Yanks call this "involuntary second degree homicide misdemeanor (sic)" or something equally nebulous!

    Alec Baldwin

    According to court papers, this was a real gun. Not a stunt gun, prop gun or even a replica. And allegedly there were multiple bullets found at the scene. Sure, Alec Baldwin should not have pointed the gun directly at someone, but the armourer should be charged with whatever is the US equivalent...

    Things that annoy you

    It is definitely a cultural thing - particularly among Southeast Asians who also use squat toilets.

    What she actually meant was "and what is it that you do, pleb?" I think this is acceptable social intercourse, but i have HATED the "And you are ...?" line since my first day at Uni when asked by one of the "elders" in the hall i lived in. Superior prick!

    Petrol station on sandpits lane

    We were lucky enough to be able to take a week off in France last week and thanks to a warning from my father-in-law we filled up before getting on the ferry. All the services on our way back to Worcestershire were saying "no fuel". The wife's car still has 250 miles left in the tank which...
