We used to say 'rude' (which it was intended to be ? I have irrational rage), but 'intolerant' is the sin du jour, I suppose.

Does your irrational rage extend to calling someone a Twat to their face, or is it just limited to being behind a keyboard/touchscreen?...

'Seems' = my perception. From memory it was a quiet day for me though.

How sensationalist the BBC News has become.


Man inappropriately touches woman's knee 15 years ago, he said sorry, she says she ain't bothered.

BBC front page news says "Michael Fallon 'apologised for touching journalist's knee'"


That's not news. It's an old, miniscule incident that's trying to be used to stir up more stuff to make yet more shit news.


Note to self: Stop reading the news you moron, it's irrelevant rubbish! Go re-read the chapter on Why you shouldn't read the news in that book The Art of Thinking Clearly.

10.30pm: put on clean nightdress and get into freshly changed bed complete with normal-weight duvet instead of thin summer one. Open Agatha Christie.


10.32pm: hot flush. Get out of bed, drink cold water, visit bathroom.


Repeat.

There's a certain type of song that has become really popular in advertising that I call the John Lewis cover song.


It's generally a young lady singing a slow soft ethereal cover version.


Current examples are "Stand by Me" in a Nescafe ad. "Send in the Clowns" in a car ad and "Ready or Not" in a Green and Blacks ad.


I am usually subjected to this at least twice when I visit the cinema.

      Dulwich Hill SNT - "Cuppa with a Coppa"

      By ianr · Posted

      SNTs don't, as you seem to imply,  consist of just PCSOs.  This one comprises a sergeant, two PCs and a PCSO:  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/351681-dulwich-hill-newsletter-september-2024/#comment-1681337 or https://www.met.police.uk/area/your-area/met/southwark/dulwich-hill/on-the-team/crime-map. i've been to another SNT's meetings, and looked at the Met details of some others, and that complement looks fairly typical.  I've not been to one of these Cuppa things so can't speak of them.

      PCSOs may not need specific qualifications, but they go through a reasonably rigorous recruitment process. Or at least they used to. It may have changed.

      The ones I've dropped into may be organised by PCSOs in the SNT but regular PCs have attended. They have actually been a cuppa with a copper, but not necessarily loads of them.

      @Pereira Neves "Cuppa with a Coppa" is a misrepresentation as PCSOs are not real police.   They have no more powers of arrest that any public citizen. They may have the "authority" to advise the regular police of a crime - just like Joe Public. One exception is that they can issue fixed penalty notices to people who cycle on a footpath. We see people cycling on the footpath every day but have never seen a PCSO issue a fixed penalty notice to anybody. No  qualifications are needed to become a PCSO.  At best, all they do is reassure and advise the public with platitudes.
