Random Irritations

I don't think I focused completely on the victim, perhaps you only chose to recall that portion from my post, so be it

While its certainly not a 50/50 split and is definitely weighted towards the bully holding responsibility, sometimes people can and do voluntarily put themselves into situations where the chance of becoming a victim is increased, to deny that seems weird

To be fair, I probably wouldn't have singled yours out if it weren't surrounded by the other rubbish.

What I would say is that in 2019, social media is very much the real world and that's not going to change. Bullying has moved online.

People kill themselves on the back of unsolicited, undeserved abuse. The focus should be on rooting out the abusers, making an example of them and understanding how to reduce the volume and veracity of the bullying - not on telling victims to just deal with it or delete their account.
 
The congestion charge. Drove into London last night, was detoured all over the place, no idea if I went in it or not. No way of checking online, so I have had to set up an account (terrible, awful, rubbish web site), and pay £14. I won't get a refund if I didn't go in it, but I won't get a fine either if I did. Flipping rubbish. London can shove it. Won't go in again.
 
Oh, and the rubbish closure of the M3 last night. Left the Albert Hall at 10 ish, and then the M3 was closed from J12 to the M27. Diversion in place. Terrible signage. Takes you round in a circle, back to where you started. Not just me, the cars in front, and behind, same deal. Rubbish.
 
The Liberal Democrats wanting to make it their official policy to revoke Article 50. So basically, they don't care that a democratic vote called for it - they believe they know best and will ignore democracy when it suits them. I hope they get utterly wiped out in an election and they can take their pathetic policies on crime with them.

No I won't be voting for them in case you wondered.

Driving pretty much anywhere in this country at the weekend is a nightmare. Diversion signs just awful.

Every time you say this sort of stuff I feel I need to remind you of an incredibly pertinent fact that you never seem to have grasped...

Not legally binding.

Maybe this time?

I had this years ago, it’s a total joke, you should at least be able to check if you went it.

Another pertinent fact is that we were told the result would be implemented.

Maybe you’ll get it this time but then again maybe not as you clearly don’t give a toss nor respect the result like the whinge bags on here

Why should the Lib Dems follow through on a claim made by a Tory PM?

Ridiculous notion.

Never been in it but I assumed it was a bit like the yellow traffic boxes (maybe red) painted all over the road at every entrance so it's bloomin obvious when a motorist enters

edit just googled it, a red 'C' on the road that in traffic can easily be covered by the car in front & a road sign lost in a forest of other signs, is that really all there is?

What time was it? The congestion charge is monday to friday 7am to 6pm
 
But don't forget the ULEZ charge is 24 hr...:(

That should be fine, from the posts I've seen of his he drives a fairly new merc ? Which isn't going to fall foul of it

It's old old petrols and diesels of about 8 years

Euro 6 for diesl, Euro 4 for petrol.
My previous VW van which would have been 4 yrs old now was not Euro 6...which is why it was sold prematurely.:)
