I've just remembered this but when the final of Bake off was on a few weeks back, the news at 10 was doing a bit on it being the last time the BBC was showing it etc, talking about it's popularity. They cut to a bar in Clapham that was showing the final. I was disgusted to see all these boyfriends or weeds that had gone out to a bar to watch this. They're not men, that's for sure.
For a start it was Clapham and I thought yeah, that sums up the type of weedy man that would go out to watch it. A ponsy gentrified area of London that actually attracts millennials who have never moved to London when they get on their 'grad schemes'.
Just looking at them on camera, they're not my type of bloke. Straight away I could tell none of them have any bollocks. Going to a bar to watch bake off, makes my skin crawl.
I have no problem with the show or that men watch it, but you watch it at home with your missus. You do not, I repeat not, swan out to some ponsy bar in a soulless part of London.
Just catching up with this thread and I must say that is a proper rant from a man that is pissed off.
Trouble is a group of people would be very angry that money was being spent on people they see as undesirable, rather than on homeless veterans or old people.
Doesn't matter, it is a front line public service. Exactly the sort of thing that shouldn't be cut but always is whilst the useless, fatty layers of administration and middle management and change consultant's and project managers grow fatter still.
Same applies to local authorities, the NHS, the police ambulance service and the fire brigade.
Back to prisons, they are a punishment yes. They also need to rehabilitate and get people who have realised the errors of their ways back into real life. Not only this but whilst they are locked up they need stimulation for the mind to make the wardens jobs safer, stop random acts of violence and any other dangerous procrastination people of a certain disposition all locked together may get up to.
A short sharp shock of 2500 extra, Fresh, new recruits may quell disorder temporarily but the whole system needs a longer term solution for education, work programmes, rehabilitation as well as maintaining order which the poor sods currently are at full tilt trying to fire fight
I know it's not your point but they are not 'extra' prison officers though are they? 5200 prison officer jobs have been cut since 2010 so all this is in effect is recognition that the decisions to get rid of so many in the first place was wrong and that the issue cannot be hidden any longer as it's being pushed into the public awareness due to recent incidents and the media.
Speak to a copper and they will say exactly the same. Or someone in the NHS or a housing officer or a social worker or a council carer or a teacher or any of the millions of other public sector employees that are struggling to deliver the best services they can at the moment and in many, many cases at a personal cost, financially and to their health.
And getting back on the topic of the thread...I find myself increasingly annoyed by DPD parcel deliveries who have failed on 4 occasions this week to deliver my parcel despite me saying they can drop it at a neighbours, stick it in my recycling bin or I'll take the risk of leaving it on the drive with a flashing "steal me" sign if needs must because it's only worth a tenner anyway. On the plus side they did send me a photo of my locked front door while I was a work on Tuesday as proof they'd been there so at least I have that cherished memento of my dealings with them.

I guarantee none of them will like football either
The five people in my open plan segment of 40 people in the office today who ignored the announcements about the 2 minutes silence at 11 and carried on talking.

We had an official announcement put out in our building. All of us in our office observed, but could hear people in the corridor still talking.
It's ridiculously disrespectful that they cannot shut up and understand the sheer importance of staying silent for 2 minutes given what people sacrificed. I honestly wouldn't mind seeing anyone who chose to carry on talking during it getting a slap.

They should be taken outside put up against a wall and shot.

Imagine the situation that football is showing at the pub and they ask if it could turned over to GBBO and the manager/landlord agrees!!!!

In that part of the world I can imagine that happening. I can also imagine them showing London Irish vs The Mannequins ahead of any football
Genuinely don't remember that, not sure why I was talking to animals either.. I know I was pestering a mate on WhatsApp telling him he was "my main man" whilst I was still on the train up town.
Geez, it was only 7:15pm apparently. Lesson of the story there kids, pre-drinking before you leave the house - "cos they're already at the pub" - is a bad bad idea. (Especially Sainsbury's Basic Gin, not sure why that was even in the cupboard.)
Those blunt plastic things you use on a screen when a parcel is delivered. My signature looks like a scribble by a 2 year old child (whereas normally it looks like the scribble of a 5 year old child).

Never seen the point of these, legally it proves nothing.
Sitting in a hotel bar, and two american girls have just done a runner on a EUR83 bill. Feel gutted for the chap behind the bar, as we were joking about exchange rates when it happened.

Did you steal a bottle of Jameson when he ran after them?

The way loads of posters go on about the Sue Perks woman, she gets so many mentions she must love it. If we Ignore her she might just crawl back under the rock from whence she came. *bugger! I just mentioned her..... !
