The Locker Room

Just seen this video on youtube, gives a very interesting portrayal of the blind spots of a lorry! Especially interesting for the cyclists amongst us but also begs the question whether lorry's should be fitted with more mirrors/technology that would allow them to see in these blindspots.

So I'm about to get a new job which will mean that I'll now (theroretically at least) finish at 5pm for the first time in my working life. This extra free time is a complete anamoly to me, I mean what do people do in the evenings??? I have decided I need a hobby (not sports related please!) to pass the time, but I have no idea what! I already give enough time to specialing so would like to branch out and diversify. Preferably something where you can meet new people. Any ideas?

Those three letters you are forever hearing whether it be on TV ads or on the radio. You run down stairs in a hurry when the phone rings only to find a pre recorded message when you answer "hello, if you have taken out a loan, credit card or mortgage, you may have been misold payment prote......... Turns phone off. It seems to be the most complained about financial product ever .. So a few questions I'm curious to .. 1) when did all this start or boom? Everywhere you go you'll see those 3 letters! And how did it start? 2) has anyone on here been successful with a ppi claim? I always thought there was a catch with this type of stuff but it's still going strong by the l…

hi, im hoping someone can tell me if I could apply to be a police officer in the uk mainland, even though I live in northern Ireland?? I am currently a supervisor in the manufacturing industry which is steadily being crushed by the chinese market, so Im looking at new careers. I have been reading up on the requirements and the general theme seems to be that there is no specific criteria to apply. I believe i have the qualities that a good officer needs, and have a fairly good education..I would like to sell up here and move to the mainland. my ideal job is to be a member of the traffic branch..any help here would be greatly appreciated.. thanks

Hi All A large bag of metal numbers has come into my possession from an old retired officers estate I have no idea where the numbers came from, or how he collected them, and therefore no idea where they should be returned to Unless anyone thinks otherwise, I have decided to sell them for Help for Hero's I would suggest 20p per number, or a donation If anyone wants any, send me a stamped addressed envelope and I will send them to you (PM me for address) Also in the same bag were about a dozen old 'Special Constabulary' "banana" shaped collar badges - say 50p each I will post how much money is raised Mods = feel free move this if you think another section would be m…

So GCSE's are being scrapped after 24 years, and tonight on ITV News they used an illustration to show how standards were slipping. Things may well have changed since I was at school, but I'm pretty certain that they haven't yet changed the spelling of "assessment"...

Just recently, after getting through various stages with two relatively rural constabularies, a lot of people, current and retired recommend the Met, as they say its the best force. Without inciting anything, I presume a larger force means more opportunities, a wider career choice, more day to day diversity... Is this true?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2206672/Terrified-tourists-evacuated-plane-overshot-runway-skidded-grass-Birmingham-Airport.html This is typical of the type of hype, crap, and lies from the Mail. The 737 did not run off the end of the runway, it had turned onto the taxiway to go to the Stand, when it slid sideways onto the grass, the aircraft was quite close to the runway, that is why it was closed for hours. Passengers were not terrified, and there was no panic whatsoever. Several witnesses said there was no panic and no screaming. The Mail loves to try and make every incident seem like a major disaster
