Random Irritations

First and foremost, who suggested because you are against the death penalty ā€œ we are somehow to blameā€. No one. What I said is that if we carry on as we are you ( and by that i mean we, us everyone not you because I wasn’t talking to anyone in particular) have to accept that it will happen again. Why because nothing has changed with the penalty of murdering of children. Furthermore,you being lost for words. Well there is a first for everything.
It's exactly what you said.

Are you suggesting that countries that still retain capital punishment don’t have murder of children happen? If you are not, then what deterrent is being offered by there being capital punishment?

America has death penalty, albeit in select states, and has one of the highest child mortality rate in the developed world.
 
People in shops ahead of you in the queue, who buy lottery scratch cards and insist on "playing them" at the counter and then cashing in their winnings, before completing the rest of their purchases (sometimes buying another scratch card and repeating the process).

Nope what I am saying is nothing has changed over the years re sentencing, so nothing will change re this crime and we have to accept it will happen again and this Conversation will rear its head again. Will it be a deterrent, I don’t think it will

Well I’m sure some things have changed

Number of serial killers has reduced

Murders has reduced

But I don’t think there will ever be a deterrent to stop people killing someone
 
People who queue up outside Sainsbury's 15 minutes before they open and then moan when it opens 10 seconds late.

I remember being outside a comet/currys who were next door to each other, 5 mins before opening on a winter morning (snowing) with half a dozen other souls
Couldn’t fathom why neither manager didn’t open up first and just say, we’re not quite ready with the tills etc but please come in out the weather
 
Wynne Evans - how is he even seen as a celebrity. Another sexist remark and yet the Beeb still let him work for them despite saying ā€˜this will not be tolerated’. They never learn.

There is something going off there with his partner and it’s not good. When she refused to high five him and moved his hand off her waist. There’s something gone off I think.

It get's worse - he made a 'joke' about 3somes and spit roasts to one of the females presenters which was overheard by reporters. The Beeb have given him another final warning.

They have a new show starting this evening with him and Joanna Page. They will want to avoid binning that off and writing off the cost before an episode is shown. I do wonder if that show was not about to go out whether they would have dropped him by now. It's not a good look.

I think it's an insurance thing. Working for the Post Office we were told not to open a second early because if a customer goes base over tip in the building before time then we are liable.

Maybe but in retail I was never aware that the insurance cover started at xxAM and finished at yyPM. I get if cables, hazards etc are still strewn across the floor & you don’t want a shopful but signage etc would still be used to protect staff from tripping & anyway its not gonna be hazard heavy area so close to opening
Most of the time I think its because the person unlocking has done it a thousand times before and doesn’t really care if its +/- 30 seconds (prob due to being on min wage, undervalued etc) & both ā€˜sides’ have forgotten its actual human ppl on each side of the door
