I used a big lump of bluetac on mine, warmed it up first, it has been fine for almost a year now.

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/bulletins/crimeinenglandandwales/june2017 Eye balling this we have at best a 50% increase in absolute numbers (if you assume no change in how well it is recorded) or at worst a doubling in absolute numbers depending how you draw a line of best fit, but with 20% population growth over the same period. I can accept from those figures that crime may well have increased per head of population. That said given the massive improvements in recording of crime we have also had and electronic crime and fraud newly possible at scale and presumably often based abroad has the picture changed that much if one écrite with a card skimmer is 100 crimes in a night rather than 5 puckpocketings? If it wasn't for the fact that locking him up till he dies of old age works out cheaper than letting the lawyers get involved with the death penalty I would be tempted to agree. He could however be put on a rather rough wing...

Nice concept but if it works why was there no increase in crime when capital and corporal punishments were removed?

This seems to explain the situation, though for an item of such low value (a non functional obselete computer) where costs of sale may not be recouped I wonder if the rules functionally differ. Did you leave an address? If just a phone number it may be difficult to dispute any claimed attempts to contact you.

Adjustable speed limits to improve flow and in some places hardshoulder use. Vastly cheaper than rebuilding with an extra lane or two, but needs monitoring so the hardshoulder can be shut when people break down.

There was a thread on here a while back about a diy hushpower, it looked quite simple if you have a 28b over under to modify, a decent drill, some pipe and a brazing torch.

It's well worth looking across a decent distance. When I lived in hull I could get compX in Salisbury for £30/1000 less than in Hull, give Greenfields a call. They have fibre at £172/1000 on their price list and also discount for over 6000.

They may well have done, but it has yet to alter the perceptions about tattoos with the people I work with. Given their apparent surge in popularity I reckon they will become universally acceptable in another generation or two.

My local cobbler has a sign saying uncollected or unpaid for repairs will be sold after six weeks, and do sell things usually of decent quality at the same £50-100 value of an obsolete computer. Likewise I have seen similar signs in other cobblers, I assume there is a basis behind choosing six weeks and suspect the lesson here is to keep backups. That said it is undoubtedly worth going in and grovelling a bit in the hope they can find the thing in some dusty corner.

Last had proper flu about ten years back, I had made my peace and was ready for death it was awful. This year all I have had is one brief virus which made me feel rough for 18 hours and has left both me and the better half with coughs that won't settle. Hopefully that will be it for this year, though there are some nasty reports on Australian flu across the border.

It is used in other parts of the world, and in theory it should be possible to ascertain if it is effective. My limited understanding from friends who have lived in India/Pakistan where corporal punishment is very commonplace is that here has much less crime, but there are many other confounding issues. Somebody must have published an in depth analysis on the matter though.

I am quite supportive of the idea of rehabilitation even in highly emotive cases, he just seems to have demonstrated he is not rehabilitatable. Throw away the key.

They seem popular but very much within certain socioeconomic groups. But I will accept not exclusively sailors and convicts. Tattoos are often a good talking point and often quite interesting but I cant see myself self ever getting one, even something adequately concealable for work purposes. Far too unprofessional and would have a real danger of being career limiting.

Try the diamond dust plates, cheap and stay flat. I think I paid £3.50 for one in1000 grit including shipping. At that price you can get a few different grades and experiment, i also have a bit of leather on some board with green paste.

I do mine at 600 then 1000 and stop there (but do strop my opinels a little further with medium grinding paste to bic razor sharp). My brother starts with 1000, works in small increments to 6000 then uses a few different levels of polishing paste on glass, then leather.... What kind of edge do you want?

Green on hospital or gp work, blue if dispatched by the ambulance service. A mate used used to do bits of prehospital work on blues, again wired up concealed to avoid water trickling down the wire to a magnetic roof light or drilling his BMW roof. His car was taken away and wired up by whichever contractor the charity he did it for chose.

Seems very odd, I used to go there very regularly (for a while every Tuesday and Thursday discounted evening) and was always made very welcome, but I've not been for 18 months since moving away. I hope the chaps who run it are alright, what you describe does sound very different to how I remember the place.

I was of the (possibly erroneous) understanding that their expensive competition ammunition is exactly that. Batches by time of manufacture and unfired weight. When I eventually empty the safe of .22lr it would be interesting to buy a large batch and see.

I think we would all get on fine, online debate often seems to get heated in ways completely detached to real life. Across a pint it is possible to enjoy debate in the sort of manner that virtually never is achieved online. In part I suspect this is because one can clarify and develop points of debate much more readily in response to question or disagreement.

I think he is following on the sideline about being less than perfectly polite as a sometimes encouraged work strategy with this example of a 999 call handler presumably either struggling to understand him or suspecting a crank call on the basis of his voice, and saying "there's nothing wrong with your voice so you can pack that up right away and start speaking properly". A genuine caller one would think will be highly unlikely to hang up and will make more effort to be understood, though under any other circumstances it would seem an excellent way to encourage the caller to hang up.

Feedback taken everyone, certainly has made me question the culture of the last few places I have worked.

I tend to assume ones ultimate employer, the tax payer, wants as much of the work they think they are paying for done as possible, however unrealistic the politicians promises may be. Anyhow, we have drifted a long way from the origional subject and its sideline of how unpleasant do people have to be before it merits calling their feo...

Some colleagues will shout and throw things. I have never yet had to try that.

It is frustrating, I hate doing it and reserve it for very rare occasions only. Sadly there are occasions where it is the only way to get results as no extra resources will be forthcoming. Fortunately it is something that has never had to feature in my personal life. A little charm seems to get you anywhere when systems have enough slack.

I work in a profoundly underresourced part of the civil service where frequently a debate has to be had about what work will not get done but all of it is in theory at least safety critical. Often this ends up being sorted out by people further towards the bottom of the food chain who cannot get all the required work done with the available resources, they essentially end up deciding what doesn't happen when a grossly unrealistic set of tasks are requested. My job involves making sure work under my name doesn't get excessively compromised. Usually this can be achieved with a little give and take outlining what can be dropped or delayed and what can't. Most of the people lower down will bend over backwards to get everything they can done and will work their backsides off to keep everyone happy so letting some stuff go isn't a problem. But rarely compromise is not possible and occasionally competing interests for resources are also not in a position to compromise, here the chaps at the bottom have to decide who to leave with a sodding great big mess. I dont threaten individuals with violence, though I may threaten to discuss with line managers or members of management known for being deeply unpleasant. I will where required use excessive eye contact, draw myself up to my full height, move a few inches closer, and question how they intend to justify each omission when I take this up the food chain. I have no doubt it can be highly intimidating (that's the point) but there is no threat of physical danger. Fortunately I have to do this once a year or less and the reputation carries. I was taught it as a 'management strategy' which was an essential tool to master, though in reality we all know it is being a ****.
