    The scumbag who threw the child into the Croc enclosure being let out on bail. 

    I couldn’t give a flying fuck about his mental state. 
    Know what you mean but apparently he has severe learning disability (mentally handicapoed in old money) and is non verbal. He had two carers with him - where were they? Little point in locking him up? Obviously the childs and parents welfare are paramount........
    What if he does something else crazy? 
    Put him somewhere secure for everyone’s safety.

    Judging by all the people I saw going there when I was in Reading earlier, it looked like it was going to be a massive chav fest.

    I think you will find he was from a care home on an 'organised visit' with carers. He will not be allowed out to harm others. The police would not have released him on bail unless he was safely looked after. Very sad.......

    Reading always looks like that. Henley regatta is much classier, though it's slowly going the same way

    I was at Reading station around midday  yesterday, plenty of smartly dressed woman and a few not so.

    Would have been interesting to see how they looked on their journey home.

    He already has been allowed out to harm others

    The new obsession with calling countries in the World Cup by the names they use themselves like Core D’Ivoire or Czechia yet still saying Germany.

    It sounds pathetic . You can use the same argument for pretty much all the other countries in the tournament

    Czechia isn't actually the name the country uses itself: it's the official name of the country in English. The Czech name is Česko. No idea why they use Côte d'Ivoire instead of Ivory Coast, though.

    We hardly ever order takeaways but my wife’s been out on the piss this afternoon and wanted a Chinese tonight. Ordered via Ubereats and it was fucking disgusting. Threw most of it away as it was inedible. New Ming in welling if anyone’s considering using them.

    Côte d'Ivoire, Czechia and Germany are all correct as these are the short form names in English of those countries as recognised by the UN, it's not a new obsession, it's just correct use of language. Full list of long and short form names can be found here https://unterm.un.org/unterm2/en/country

    That said, Türkiye is stupid and annoying so I'm glad we mostly ignore that one

    And the name didn't arouse your suspicions?

    When you ring a company up and talk to the receptionist and ask to talk to someone senior so you can have a moan. They say someone will ring you back on a set day, no call back, so you send a reminder, and they say they ring back next day, no phone call and so it goes on. Do these seniors managers really expect more business from you?

    They're probably thinking 'well the sucker keeps ringing back so I can't be arsed to call him, he'll ring again tomorrow and I'm off so someone else can deal with it'

    Exactly, but I learnt a little, I now only make 1 phone then send emails. Hopefully they are more annoying and harder to ignore (but very easy to delete if they wish). However in this case I do know that my emails are read by more than one person.

    Ask them for a written transcript of your calls. They love dealing with that.

    I always find that a zip-fly is much easier to keep clean.
    Metal zips? You have to be careful, it has it's drawbacks.

    In future try to aim at the urinal rather than your shoes 
    It was actually a thought that entered my head Wednesday evening in the pub. I was standing there relieving myself, looking down, (while aiming correctly ;-)), to the floor and my nice suede trainers. I noted the floor was absolutely sodden. My immediate  thought was, this could be slippery, I don't want to go over here. Then the lace problem came into my head, I'm glad to say my laces were tied up well and I didn't go over.
    I don't have a problem hitting the target but it's something a lot of men do. I don't know if its laziness or maybe some lack enough to hold onto.
    And we thought you were having a piss. :smiley:
