Emma Thompson flying from Los Angeles to join the eco idiots in London. The irony is all they do is move the traffic from where they are wreaking havoc to somewhere else and sod people’s lives up. One of them suggested people tale a day off work to join them, which is all fine and dandy if like them you haven’t got a proper job if they work at all if not independently wealthy and you’re up from country for a few days. You can well imagine them making their way around the countryside in a large 4*4. Like Emma Thompson’s flight and no doubt flights … do as I say not as I do.
Caster Semenya sticking 2 fingers up at the IAAF.
For a body that has gone through all manner of things over drug and other performance enhancing techniques I think the IAAFs decision over Caster Semenya will open a can of worms. Where does it stop? Male athletes with low testosterone allowed to take supplements to get them up to the same levels as other men, so they can compete equally?
In a day and age when people and authorities are tripping over themselves and tying themselves in knots to accommodate people who want to identify differently to their birth gender and in extremis change their gender, here is an individual who through no fault of their own or desire to be different, is being penalised, which in other circumstances would attract all manner of criticism and uproar. I would understand it if it was like some of the East German “ladies” from the old days.

Reviewing a criminal case today involving a knife. As always, you want a good picture of the knife usually accompanied by a ruler so you can see how long it is, this helps juries or magistrates visualise the stabby potential.
The ruler in today’s case? An ‘Air Cadets The Next Generation’ one.

completely unrelated to brexit (it got it’s own thread anyway)
I love the passion and support on here but…
I can’t be the only one slightly intimidated by the mini essays posted.
I love reading them a getting involved but I find myself taking a step back to truly appreciate when a single post no longer fits on my laptop screen. It’s brilliant 
I’m not moving any more brexit posts from here, I’m just going to delete them from now on. You have been warned.

I would never dare… 
In the barbers today, George was bemoaning that since they’ve offered a tap and go to pay, tips had dropped I told him that’s your fault then. I was surprised he was doing it but apparently his 2 apprentices suggested it and they’re the ones who lose out.
Geoffrey Boycott’s reaction to people moaning about his knighthood. He never got bothered by people’s opinions and good to see he’s not changed or mellowed.

I’ve been looking at getting a new car so Facebook’s selective advertising suggests this for me !
P.s. I haven’t been looking at super cars.
