    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There is nothing wrong with me, my reporting this arose from my concern for my best friend in this estate, a Met police officer just married last year with a baby daughter born a few weeks ago. I couldn't imagine how his wife, who I know well, must be feeling at this news. But I'm a realist...

    I very much doubt we will ever know the truth about this since there will inevitably be an account putting the police in the best light possible in the circumstances. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I see you are assuming the latest suspect is black. If you look at my previous post and its P.S., you'll see the earlier killer of a police sergeant here was white and the latest one might still be too. In fact almost all police officers killed or very seriously injured have suffered that at...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Still careless though. The search is by hands which can be washed afterwards in the custody centre and the suspect should have been in handcuffs until the search was completed satisfactorily. I know the police are still conducting forcible stripdowns where necessary due to suspects refusing to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Unfortunately one of our Met Police officers was shot at 2.15 last night here in Croydon and died in hospital. The 23 year old suspect who had already been arrested and detained then shot himself and is critically ill in hospital. These shootings were inside our police custody centre which is...

    I think dog nasal capability is far beyond any sensor technology we are capable of. You probably know of the instances where dogs have detected cancer in their owners long before any medical diagnosis. Here's one There's been others. .

    That's what I meant by "dirty beasts". FOMO makes them get mixed up in dogging and the like. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    They wouldn't be the only idiot company I've told to get stuffed. As I said to one, "Thank you for letting me know you aren't a company I'd want to work for". For the one I did go to instead, in four years I halved the staff and multiplied the turnover to ten times that when I joined. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't belong to or use any social media sites and as for FOMO, I really don't want to know what they get up to, dirty beasts. I'm involved in activities along with like minded people, much more communicative than peering at and tapping a 5 or 6" screen. I'm on the dozen strong committee of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Generally agreed, with two differences. I'm very happy to make useful changes to my methods and often do. I've just coincidentally made one only a few minutes ago to fit a sudden change in local circumstances. And I have a spare Canon compact camera with a spare battery in my car all the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    There you go again with your assumptions that you know better than the person on the spot! You never do. I absolutely know I would be worse off and more stressed with one. Here's why: Firstly I do have a perfectly good mobile phone, it lives switched off in my car for emergency use. It has...

    WTF happened to 50cycles?!

    The sheer scale of the problems with the Impulse motor units that Kalkhoff were fitting overwhelmed their agents 50cycles. With Kalkhoff and the motor's makers Daum unable to come up with any adequate solutions and for a while inadequate backup from Kalkhoff, 50cycles had no way out. Some...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I consider myself fortunate in not having any mobile phone signal or adequate WiFi, so never falling victim to the ever increasingly expensive smartphone scam. Like many millions of others who don't have a signal, despite the government's false claim of 95% coverage, plus the other few millions...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I've just been hearing of cost of London's very high initial Covid-19 infection rate and the overall poor UK record. It seems our UK tourism industry has taken by far the largest hit in all of Europe, down by some 80% overall and in some sectors 95%. .

    In other words as I've been posting for a long time, just carry on with life as normal without worrying. That will protect us at least as well as hiding away and being scared of Covid. .

    Masks should be totally banned worldwide. We're all agreed we have a severe overpopulation problem which is still getting worse, yet here we are trying to make it even worse yet. China is the one country that has long been trying to do something about it. First they had their one child policy...

    There's no official technical knowledge on these from Panasonic and their policy was repair by replacement. However these units are long discontinued so not available and they never made any spares for the motor unit internals. The internal circuit board is fully encapsulated into the alloy...
