After wasting a few hours yesterday (does that count to my weekly total?) I’ve decided to buy a Mac mini. Pick up in an hour or so.
Eventually I’ll pull the data off the old drives or turn them in to network storage or something like that.

Did just that. My emails were quite abusive as you can imagine. Got a grovelling apology, IT error sending out overdue letters at the same time as bills, and got a compensation payment.
What these idiots are saying is absolute crap ... if Sarah Everard had followed all of their suggestions she would still have been killed because she would have been told on every occasion that he was puka! And every criminal now has a ready made defence against resisting arrest.
It's got worse since I made that comment. A police chief said women should be more street-wise and Sarah shouldn't have got into his car - as if you have a choice when arrested!firlandsfarm wrote: ↑Mon Oct 04, 2021 11:57 amWhat these idiots are saying is absolute crap ... if Sarah Everard had followed all of their suggestions she would still have been killed because she would have been told on every occasion that he was puka!

Totally agree Derek ... this is going to open a whole can of worms. I'm not expecting to be arrested of anything but if I should be I will just refuse to be arrested ... they will say I resisted arrest and I would say I couldn't trust them and claim my legal right to defend myself. Some may say "but you are not a woman' well that's another issue I haven't raised yet but in 2019 twice as many men as women were murdered and in 2020 three times as many ..... why can men not be protected .......... Male lives matter!!Derek27 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 04, 2021 4:30 pmIt's got worse since I made that comment.

As for talking to the controller - he could just have a radio linked to his mate!!
I feel really sorry for the good guys. I've never had much problem with the police despite being of Asian origin and living in London when I was younger but now, with another PC being charged with rape, making arrests is going to be difficult.
Don't rage. They're not worth it. I'm 60. I assess risk and take chances accordingly. How can you compensate for someone that is drunk? They could throw themselves off a building, How do you protect people from their own stupidity?firlandsfarm wrote: ↑Tue Oct 05, 2021 3:52 pmI think this is my first rant and strangly I'm not going to say anything I'll just leave it to this Mirror page but I'm raging inside!
Stupidity has no limits, so it seems. If I was the owner of the premises I'd sue them for any damage to the property.firlandsfarm wrote: ↑Tue Oct 05, 2021 3:52 pmI think this is my first rant and strangly I'm not going to say anything I'll just leave it to this Mirror page but I'm raging inside!
Surely the sensible thing would have been to have the metal barrier at the top to stop people getting in, not getting out of, the tube. They should sueDerek27 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 05, 2021 8:17 pmStupidity has no limits, so it seems.
