I'm sure we are all aware of tea banter. I had a good example last week where I walked into the office of one of the teams I work with a lot when the skipper says in a concerned tone.. I was thinking uh-oh what have I done so walk over to see the computer where skipper has written.. In the biggest possible text.

Happy Birthday NewBeatBoy.

I know there's already a topic for the riots but its 80 Pages long and I thought this was too important to be at the back so, I just needed to say to any officer of a police force that are in riot situations, that the general law abiding public applaude you in your bravery and courage, and as a member of the public I personally would like to thank you. If you check out this facebook page, you'll see the amount of support you have (Last count 462,931) and by this I hope it will give you the push to know that what you are doing is right. Supporting the london met Be safe tonight guys

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-14446449 This is sad. I enjoyed Food & drink when it was first aired, and found Michael Barry's cooking accessible and sensible. Sad to die so young. Food & Drink was the sort of programme which the BBC used to be good at. It was a prograpmme about Food & Drink, more than a cookery progeramme, more than a wine programme, it made us think about food and appreciate it, far more than cookery programmes or Shleb chef progammes. It lost its was shortly before the end, lost its ethos, got 'improved' by some idiot and I lost interest in it.

Earlier this year, the actor John Nettles "retired' from his role as DCI Tom Barnaby in Midsomer Murders at the age of 67. I noticed that many actors who play TV coppers are too old for their roles in real life. Here is a list of them: Martin Shaw: DCI George Gently (aged 65) John Nettles; DCI Tom barnaby ("retired" at age 67) Sir David Jason; DI Jack Frost ("retired" at age 67). Sir David would have been too short to join up in the early '70s due to the height restrictions of that time. The late Mark McManus; DCI Jim Taggart (aged 59) Mark would also have been too short, as Glasgow police officers were required to be a minimum of 6ft at one time. The late Jack War…

I am selling 1999 'T' BMW 328i se Touring in metallic Green, full MOT, 6-8 weeks tax and FSH. Just had new battery and two new rear tyres to get through the MOT with no advisories. Just had full valet and currently has a full tank of fuel. Bombproof engine and mechanics, however, as usual with the e36 BMW, it has some rust to two of the arches and the bottom of the drivers door. Few hundred quid would sort this I think. Also with a couple of marks on the bodywork as is normal with cars of this age. Auto box with economy, sports and snow modes, box is smooth as is the engine. Box kicks down as it should. Inside has the odd mark but nothing bad and it cleans up good. …

It has been pointed out to me that we don't have a wine club. For some reason, nobody mentioned wine in the Hobbies thread. Perhaps wine is too serious a subject to be considered a hobby. Let's see. Iechyd da.

Following on from another thread I thought we'd have a food debate. I would say it's tongue in cheek, but that might lead to bleeding tongues.M&MBM2011-07-26 21:33:25

Today, I spent 3 hours of my life in a police station in a foreign (EU) country where I don't speak the language. I am one of 10 complainants in a criminal allegation and have a very good local lawyer who was with me all the time. I wanted to share some of my experience because as I sit here in a hotel room, it occured to me that HMG could learn a lot from this country. The office where I was interviewed (well I wasn't actually interviewed because my lawyer handed over a prepared statement) was occupied by two "CID" officers from a specialist unit. They had lockers (granted, one of them still had a "hammer & sickel" sticker on it) for their belongings, a telephone…

I've just seen that the leader of the house Sir George Young has said that not to debate the death penalty again would be against democracy. Surely that would make sense,as would it's re-introduction,given that there seem to be more and more murders nowadays. I know that many people would not agree, but a short time ago,I was lifting an old carpet,and underneath I found part of a very old newspaper. One of the articles was reporting that a person had been executed for the murder they had commited. I found that to read it had the 'pow' factor and it made me think 'if only that were the case today,perhaps things would be different. Food for thought ?

.........I can't find it on the BBC or DM sites........ But I heard on Radio 2 earlier something about the Fire Service complaining about their canteen staff getting made redundant. Now. I don't know about you lot, but I make my own 'pack-up' to work, and have done since I started. You'd think that they'd be able to feed themselves...........anybody heard what exactly it is they're complaining about??
