Today I'm angry with myself. Realised last night that I'd left the front door unlocked since Monday evening. 

May the bridges I burn light your way

Re: Today I'm angry about.....
I've done that on odd occasions in the past. I always do a last-minute check on all locks etc nightly now. Often wondererd how that would affect an insurance claim if it happened and somebody just walked in and robbed you as opposed to breaking in?Bruce Rioja wrote:Today I'm angry with myself.

Indeed!

Re: Today I'm angry about.....
Woman I used to live next door to years ago was robbed, after she failed to put her alarm on. She asked me to go round and wait with her until the police came. She then told me that she'd smashed in her alarm system with a hammer to help her insurance cause.
I had to simply just ask, why wouldn't you tell the policeman that the alarm was going off when you got home, so you just turned it off before you realised you'd been robbed?
Copper came round, took one look at it. Laughed for a minute or two and said exactly what I'd said. fortunately, he didn't report it.

Re: Today I'm angry about.....
Being "ashamed and remorseful" having any effect on sentencing criminals. Bloke locally, (apparently a known and persistent offender, 45 years old) robbed two women then threatened to knife them when they followed him. His lawyer claimed he was "ashamed and remorseful" as if that's some sort of excuse for a known criminal to get a reduced sentence. Do the crime, do the time, asshole. No excuses allowed.

Re: Today I'm angry about.....
I don't get why they don't just call use the reverse language. If folk got additional time for not showing remorse, folk wouldn't mind half as much! S'like time off for good behaviour. Reverse it, and say they get longer for bad behaviour.

Not denying it's all nonsense, but that's the reason.

I just read on tibb that CDs are probably going to cease to be released.
Bloody stupid, what's the point of iTunes?
Bloody download an illegal Rar if you don't want to buy Cds! don't give money to barstard Itoons!

Re: Today I'm angry about.....
audio cds pissed on their chips when they never changed to data dvds with all the tracks in different encodings for various players and usages. i've seen a few usb drives released like this, but getting thousands of dvds pressed up is cheaper than that.2399 wrote:I just read on tibb that CDs are probably going to cease to be released.

Re: Today I'm angry about.....
Now I know how others feel when I post, as I don't understand much of that!
Angry , Streams , Got to match after half time , working now
Go man city! (So I can consider downloading the match later on)
Now having trouble, the only streams for the 3pm kickoff are radio, and they probably don't work. (at least one didn't)

That would be a one-off 'scandal' though, wouldn't it? It always happens. It is surely sensible to have different tariffs for those who show remorse, and those who do not, those who behave in prison and those who do not. The current way is always going to anger those who like to rant about prisons being holiday camps. That, or just change it and don't tell anyone! No real person ever reads the sentencing guidelines

London buses, which seemingly terminate when and where they choose.

Re: Today I'm angry about.....
People in that London whinging about how bad public transport is down there! Went to the cinema on t'Reebok last night. Tried to get the train there, turns out it was a bus replacement. Now given the bus stop isn't in view from the platform, did the driver come to inform people there was no train? Did he feck. Was there even a sign saying rail replacement? Well, there was a tiny notice on a piece of A4 blutacked in the rain saying there was a rail replacement on Saturday, the previous day, but no mention of Sunday. Woman interneted on her jazzy phone which said rail replacement. Having got a lift there, we checked to see when the next rail replacement back was. Turns out there was one at 9, 10, not 11 and 12. We got out of the cinema just after ten, waited nearly two hours for a bus which didn't bother turning up, and so having waited had to get a taxi just after midnight, at double rate. Just one example of the sheer, blinding ineptitude of the rail companies in this country, and they have the fecking cheek to put up the price of tickets!

Re: Today I'm angry about.....
We have pretty decent bus services generally, but one day I'm going to go to that "Notin". Never been there, but it seems a pretty popular place particularly after 5-0'clock in the evening.Verbal wrote:London buses, which seemingly terminate when and where they choose.
