Random Irritations

Watching the World Cyclocross on Eurosport and saw the advert for the first time about them moving to TNT. Weird how they're trying to tell me it's a good thing for me. So what I currently get for free I'm going to have to pay for...right oh.

Make of that what you will.

I'd be more surprised to find any company that would allow a contract signed by one person to be transferred in to another person's name in any case except death.

The only thing I think they have done wrong here is the provisioning of the line. There should be no need for either an engineer visit or a gap in service. It should be a simple case of send new router by post, provision line in accordance with new customer regulation and that's it. Engineer should only be required if you either a) don't have an active line or any NTE at the premises, or b) you request a line entry relocation or new NTE (to replace an old one).

If it's FTTP and the NTE has already been terminated correctly then there should be no need for an engineer at all.

Thing is I was entering into a new contract as the old one had expired. Was happy to sign up on the same terms, keep the same equipment and the only change would be my first name instead of my ex. I was already paying and all the contact details were updated to mine

Ah, but you're applying "logic" to a "computer set no" situation.

The contract relates to service and liability, the equipment is generic. That's why bellowing at a senior manager works. I'll see if I can find the name of who I dealt with.

Thats still not the definition of a new contract. Subscription contracts (for the most part) are continuous but with a minimum term. If the minimum term lapses it doesn’t mean the contract has. It just means you are able to cancel the contract without penalty.

The original contract still remains with the person that entered in to and agreed the terms of that specific contract.

Remember that argument for and against the death penalty on here the other week? The news coming out about Lucy Letby and how the panel have found no murders have taken place, wouldn't have helped her now would it?

She would’ve been in jail for 10 plus years before any death sentence was imposed.

Possibly, possibly not. What if the system was highly efficient?

The original decision may well stand of course but there is doubt there for some.

Slime, I believe, suggested " irrefutable evidence" wheras all you need for a conviction is " beyond reasonable doubt"
Those 2 stages are a bit more than an arm length apart.....
I don't believe,,if we had it, that Letby would have got the death sentence

If we had the death sentence then the media etc would have been screaming for it in the letby case, I have no doubt on that.

No one

So we would need a system of guilty and really guilty going forwards?
