Seemingly trivial things that intrigue you

An assault course sounds appropriate for these military officer types.

I think.it is absurd that the Olympics includes these events.
Hardly representative of the whole olympic family.
Mind you, rowing....

I just saw it and was expecting worse from the outrage.

The more I see and hear about it the less surprised I would be the find out they had tried to extort some hush money before releasing the video.

Isn't this error of judgement like cyclists who took EPO just the single time thar they were caught?

I'm similarly intrigued by the amount of OD deaths by "first time users".
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

The problem with my potential new career is that I find finance a bit dull, so I'm not sure I'm going to inspire anyone.
A bit like when schools ask for former students to come back and give inspirational speeches. Also not one for me.

Do things like what? I’ve been in the room with a head of nav financing at a well known debt shop explain why it’s a thing now.
I may not know what it is but I parrot these people professionally!

Will there be a battle of Humanity derived AI government supremacy before the inevitable happens and AI and it's intelligent matter form supercedes Humanity?

Phoned 111 from my phone. It decided it was an emergency call so diverted to 999. Anyone got any ideas how to fix this?

Other than rummaging around in the settings until you find something, no. Never encountered this

Seems other people have suffered from it. No known fix. There isn't even an alternative number. Sometimes tech is really annoying.

Yep. Safety features often are.

The brass neck of those Rochdale lads whose mate got kicked in the head by the police.
Don’t get me wrong, police should not be kicking the head in of people they arrest and it is up to them to keep their heads while others are losing theirs
But these lads properly assaulted a policeman (I think it’s a man) and are now claiming victim?
Shows what utter shits they are.

Andy Burnham calling for cool heads, his subtext being that there was wrongdoing from several parties which needs to be investigated and prosecuted.

They fucked around and found out.

Not sure if more than one got assaulted but I think I heard they broke a police woman’s nose. They deserved a kicking, if they’d been in most countries they’d have got more and no-one would have batted an eyelid

Not sure anyone deserved to risk brain damage though. Stamping on people's heads is not okay, and I don't want it to be okay in UK policing.

Quite so. No excuse: if as a police officer you can't control your temper, even in stressful situations, you're in the wrong job.

Doesn’t look like it’s possible to do anything that would further impair them mentally to be honest. They’d have risked being shot it some countries.
No, he shouldn’t have been stamped on but by the reaction you’d think they were blameless members of the public who’d been pounced on for no reason.
If it was up to me airports and planes wouldn’t be able to serve alcohol. I know when I’m at the airport at 6.00am tomorrow there’ll be groups already on it.

Weren't they released without charge?
0 -
Released on police bail.

I don't think that's the case, regarding the reaction. And, "in some countries" that we don't really want to emulate.

What people deserved is not relevant to policing. That's for courts to decide. I'm glad I don't live in 'other countries' where the police are closer to uniformed thugs.

I think we can all agree that letting the police decide things for themselves doesn't usually end well.
Worth mentioning that this group of police were carrying firearms and should therefore be the best of the best. Loss of temper and a bit of mild head stamping doesn't seem terribly far from some other form of loss of temper to me.

Sure. The playing victim by the lot who were assaulting the rozzers is pathetic though. And that they have so much support too.
0 -
Your point is taken, they are not victims but both sides got this very wrong.
Wrong to start the fight and wrong to stamp and kick the head of a culprit tazered and pinned to the floor is no better. The elite police are supposed to be better.

I kinda of feel like, if you're going to kick off violently, against the police, you are going to be lucky to escape a bit of extra judicial treatment. That doesn't make it particularly right, but it's the reality of the situation.
If you do the same in an airport, with highly armed police everywhere, you should probably count yourself lucky not to get shot.
