Just had one too, done exactly as he asked!!

Let’s make it clear – all armed police officers in the UK are volunteers and ‘yes’ if they kill someone they are subject to incredible pressure and scrutiny by the law / the IPCC / their own bosses / and most of all by the public. Just ask, as it was muted in the Mets a few years ago, that all their armed officers ‘downed tools’ when a PC who shot a ‘suspect’ was charged with murder but cleared by the jury. Put that in context of what happened both in London x 2 and Manchester in the past few days – where would we be?
A very simple sum – 20K extra policemen/women on the streets will not stop this type of event – how could 4 (10 even) officers stop a van doing what it did on the bridges? They can’t. Today it was said on TV that to keep surveillance on one suspect takes 32 ‘spooks’, how many suspects do we have? 20K Officers – 4 officers/24hrs coverage = 5000 extra officers on duty at any one day – excluding sickness, leave, court, courses et al. Spread the 5ooo out over the forces in the UK – 43 as of March 2013 = 116 Officers / Force /day – but that excludes the possibility that there would be a natural bias towards the big conurbations – some areas there will be more in some areas and less in others.
Unfortunately this type of terrorism is also cultural and ethnically based – generally the UK police are largely white whereas what I have seen of recent Islamic terrorists (if that is the correct word) are not – it would be very difficult for the general police to infiltrate such terrorist groups – at least in Ireland we tended to look like them!
What is the answer – I don’t know but more police on the street is not one. We have PCSOs on the streets – plastic plods – why – it gives the public reassurance that the police are around to protect them!!!! No tbey are there to show the flag at a lower rate of pay than the ‘proper’ officer – you can con the public most of the time …. !!

Look at it in another way – it’s about the price of 1 pint per month.
Surely it’s worth that to read some of the spats here occasionally, let alone the gems of knowledge so many have here and which, I for one, have dipped into quite often.

I know nothing about forums and how they work, but I do understand that they must ‘cost to run’ and I truly appreciate the time and effort that has already been put into this one.
Personally I would have no problems with £3.50 to £5/month on a DDR.

Been mulling this over for some time now – I well understand DaveR’s point of view – a new system CPU and board would be faster etc. but cost at least £100 for a PC that will only ever be a backup if my i7 needs attention. A new AM3+ mobo will cost me £50 or less. I’m not being miserly here just considering my ‘needs -v- costs‘ – even the power consumption aspect is negligible as it won’t be used that much.
If the CPU is dead, it’s bin time for the board and mobo, however it might be a viable option to have the CPU tested.
Would anyone here be able to assist in that respect please – I can supply CPU, fan if necessary, 2 x 2Gb Corsair 1.65v DDR3 RAM – brand new.
CPU – AMD Phenom II X4 965 Blk Edition
Would be willing to meet any reasonable costs incurred.
Sorry if being cheeky.

This is a VERY difficult matter for those of us who have to take prescribed medicines – side effects / after effects – if after taking medication you know that for, say 4 hours, you’re going to be zonked – keep well clear of the car. However if you have to take that medication 3/4 times/day – stop driving until you have ended the course of treatment. Many people think that “I don’t use cannabis/cocaine etc. etc., so it doesn’t affect me” – sorry you’re wrong – it also includes presc meds.
I would say that one of the biggest and possibly hidden problem on the UK road are people who drive when under the influence of prescribed medication – knowingly or unknowingly.

EdP – whilst I agree in principle, whilst driving the onus is on the driver to ensure that he is safe to do so. We know that the D/D limit is 35 microgrammes but it’s up to the driver to know when to stop.
Talking about this in isolation is OK, just attend a fatal accident, like I had to several times, and you appreciate that talking in a forum and looking at the blood is a whole different world.

A man in Scotland calls his son in London the day before Christmas Eve and says, “I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are getting divorced. Forty-five years of misery is long enough.”
“Dad, what are you talking about?” the son screams.
“We can’t stand the sight of each other any longer,” the father says. “We’re sick of each other, and I’m sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Leeds and tell her.”
Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. “Like hell they’re getting divorced,” she shouts, “I’ll take care of this.”
She calls Scotland immediately, and screams at her father, “You are NOT getting divorced. Don’t do a single thing until I get there. I’m calling my brother back, and we’ll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don’t do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?” and hangs up.
The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife.
“It’s okay” he says “‘they’re coming for Christmas – and they’re paying their own fares.”######
53,000 Scousers meet in Anfield for a “Scousers Are Not Stupid” convention.
Steven Gerrard addresses the crowd.. “We are all here today to prove to the world that Scousers are not stupid. Can I have a volunteer please?”
Jamie Carragher gingerly works his way through the crowd and steps up to the stage.
Gerrard asks him “What is 15 plus 15?”
After 15 or 20 seconds Carragher says, “Forty!”
Obviously everyone is a little disappointed. Then the Scousers start chanting “Give him another chance! Give him another chance!”
Gerrard says, “Well since we have a capacity crowd, world-wide press and global broadcast media here, I think we can give him another chance.”
So he asks, “What is 5 plus 5?”
After nearly 30 seconds he eventually says, “Twelve?”
Gerrard looks down and just lets out a dejected sigh.
Everyone is disheartened and Carragher starts crying.
But then the 53,000 Scousers begin to yell and wave their hands shouting, “Give him another chance! Give him another chance!”
Gerrard, unsure whether he is now doing more harm than good eventually says, “OK then, what is 2 plus 2?”
Silence hangs over the stadium.
Carragher closes his eyes, and after a whole minute eventually says, “Four?”
Pandemonium breaks out throughout the stadium as the Scouse crowd stand to a man, wave their arms, stomp their feet and scream,
“Give him another chance! Give him another chance!”

The Grim Reaper came for me last night, and I beat him off with a vacuum cleaner. Talk about Dyson with death.
Did you hear about the fat alcoholic transvestite? All he wanted to do was eat, drink and be Mary.
I’ve just had a letter back from Screwfix. They said they regretted to inform me that they’re not actually a dating agency.I woke up last night to find the ghost of Gloria Gaynor standing at the foot of my bed. At first I was afraid…….then I was petrified.
I was explaining to my wife last night that when you die you get reincarnated but must come back as a different creature. She said “I would like to come back as a cow”. I said “you’re obviously not listening.”
Doctors have just identified a food that can cause grief and suffering years after it’s been eaten. It’s called a wedding cake.
I was in the pub with my wife last night and I said I love you.
She said “is that you or the beer talking ? ”
I replied “it’s me talking to the beer.”
The wife has been missing a week now. Police said to prepare for the worst. So I have been to the charity shop to get all her clothes back.
Hi mate, I don’t want you to panic but I’m texting you from the casualty. Turns out the new Dyson Ball cleaner isn’t what I thought it was.

The GunfighterSitting in a saloon one Saturday night, an up and coming gunfighter recognized an elderly man standing at the bar who, in his day had the reputation of being the fastest gun in the West.
The young cowboy took a place next to the old-timer, bought him a drink and told him the story of his great ambition.
“Do you think you could give me some tips?” he asked.
The old man looked him up and down and said, “Well, for one thing, you’re wearing your gun too high. Tie the holster a little lower down on your leg”.
”Will that make me a better gunfighter?” asked the young man.
”Sure will,” replied the old-timer.
The young man did as he was told, stood up, whipped out his 44 and shot the bow tie off the piano player.
”That’s terrific!” said the hot shot. “Got any more tips for me?”
“Yep,” said the old man. “Cut a notch out of your holster where the hammer hits it. That’ll give you a smoother draw.”
“Will that make me a better gunfighter?” asked the younger man.
“You bet it will,” said the old-timer.
The young man took out his knife, cut the notch, stood up, drew his gun in a blur, and then shot a cufflink off the piano player.
“Wow!” exclaimed the cowboy, “I’m learnin’ somethin’ here. Got any more tips?”
The old man pointed to a large can in a corner of the saloon.
“See that axle grease in the can over there? Smear your gun with it.”
The young man went over to the can and smeared some of the grease on the barrel of his gun.
“No,” said the old-timer, “I mean smear it all over the gun, handle and all.”
“Will that make me a better gunfighter?” asked the young man.
“No,” said the old-timer, “but when Wyatt Earp gets done playing the piano, he’s gonna shove that gun up your ass, …and it won’t hurt as much.”

The law on drug driving does not differentiate between legal or illegal drugs – many people fail to understand that many prescribed legal drugs can put them into the category of ‘drug driving’ if used correctly and most certainly if taken incorrectly.

Irrespective of what he was, when he was and how much $$$$ he had, he’s a drunk driver and has the potential to kill someone.
Famous or unknown – no difference.
When you see a car with dead innocent victims inside – it brings drink drivers home to you. 😥

Talking about ‘time flying’ – I remember as a kid in the 50s or so, on Xmas seeing a friend with a present I wanted and would ‘ask Santa for next Xmas’ the delay seemed like a lifetime away.
Today just washed up after Xmas dinner and it’s time to think about buying the turkey for the next one.
Why is 52 weeks as a kid sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long and 52 weeks as an adult soooooo short? :scratch: :scratch:

I too have absolutely no sympathy for him at all, it seems that the American law enforcement system / ethos is different to ours in the UK with them releasing evidence into the public domain. To a degree I am also worried that the UK system may be following the same trend. Anything to do with £££££££ I wonder?

Bob,
The cat is Adious Greyson Wynne-Hughes – his chipped name. If you ever Google “Huddersfield Railway Station Cat” (well worth a visit), Addy is very similar to Felix in the above. My daughter adopted him when he was left in a room for 2 days w/o food or water – he now has a fantastic, loving home and owner at the Halls of the local University where Emma is deputy head warden as well as her day job there – he rules her home as all cats do! He’s got cat-titude by the bucket load! He has a beautiful long silver grey coat almost silk like. :heart:

Nah!!! Dwnne ain’t offended, he’s just wondering what nationality the last person will be in the UK, as he/she switches the lights off. 😥
I know that many of my Welsh compatriots consider themselves to be “God’s chosen own”. Myself – I’m a bit more sceptical.
Just had a thought – perhaps the sentiments of my first para may well be emblazoned on the inside of the main door to the White House – the way DTs staff are leaving?

Bob Williams:
The meaningful word here being ‘suspects’ – our society and our laws exist to protect citizens from having their human rights taken away by arrest without proof of wrongdoing. Certain legal businesses bend and stretch the rules to defend criminals and terrorists, for financial gain.
Could I please ask by what you mean in the last sentence – the implication is that ‘certain legal businesses …. financial gain’ might imply solicitors and barristers who are paid to defend such “suspect”. If my interpretation is correct are such people, as despicable as they are, not entitled to a defence? Unfortunately barristers are not able to pick and choose their clients – they work on the taxi rank principle – first come first served.
Again if my understanding of your comment is right, for what matters would you agree that a ‘suspect’ is entitled to a solicitor and any defence? Once you start eroding the legal system where does it stop? Could anyone here find themselves in a position where a defence solicitor was not available to them?
” .. our society and our laws exist to protect citizens from having their human rights taken away by arrest without proof of wrongdoing.” Yet it appears to me that that is exactly what your last sentence in that paragraph suggests?

Might it not be the truth that for all national/multi-national companies the bottom line is £££££ and probably the accountants who ‘do the deal’ are more interested in company profits than total (if possible) data security and 24/7/365 reliability? These days how many IT decisions are made by accountants and not ‘people who know what they are doing?’
