    The sound of ice cubes cracking as you pour a nice cold drink over them.

    Not to be a pedant, but the drink can't be that cold if it is causing the ice to crack.

    In fact I know it isn't that cold as you're chilling it.

    Catching thieves red handed

    In your place mate?
    Outside, literally in my neighbours van. So we restrained him with necessary force. From how full the backpack and carrier bag was he had with him he'd been busy

    The filthy bastard went at us with a set of keys, tripped, fell and now has six fewer teeth. Police have been brilliant and from what I'm hearing he fits the description of others CCTV images of him.
    Does that count as an accident at work for him?


    Serious note, Fair play though, stealing someones means to earn a living is totally wrong.
    Maybe he should speak to one of those damage chasing lawyers. My mate next door has a horrible cut on his foot, we were both in our pants but I'd left my trainers by the door and slipped into them as I ran out. Bloody good job as the scumbag had smashed a bottle of perfume he'd stolen from somewhere which is what sliced my mates foot up.

    In all seriousness, he works on price and has had to miss a day today so the police could speak to us.

    As @TCE says, we all hate avoidable accidents. My post incident risk assessment for him was 'don't be a fucking thief' if you want to not slip over and lose teeth

    Maybe, but the ice is still far colder hence the crack, which is caused by the drink being much warmer than the ice. This is known as differential expansion (the ice core is remaining neutral whilst the outside is trying to expand rapidly due to the comparatively warmer beverage.)

    Na totally agree, I remembered a story after posting my comment and a burglar tried to claim loss of earnings in court after being caught and put in hospital! Shocked me more that some scumbag solicitor wanted to represent him!

    My partner and I don't have kids but we'll have some fun by hiring a babysitter anyway, telling them our kid is asleep upstairs and not to be woken. When we return we'll ask where our child is.

    Should pop round to the solicitor's gaff while he's in court and pick up a few bits and bobs.

    The M25 clockwise this morning. A peach of a journey, looked shit the other way but for once I was not held up at all. Even the devious variable limits didn't halt me and my travelling brethren

    They've given me a refund and by my calculations they've given me £8 too much back. Dont reckon they'll notice though.

    hearing a song that you haven't heard for ages that brings back memories of good times in the past.

    This morning heard The Waterboys - Whole of the moon

    Probably not heard for 5 years or so, but for me, reminds me of my Ibiza '90 holiday (even though released years before).

    Saw The Waterboys at a festival at the weekend, it was the only song I knew of theirs!
