I have all those things except the fat bit and I'm not a spoiled over protected child! I wish I had been.
I have phoned ITV 27 times now and asked to speak to Adrian Chiles and each time they have said "No you can't he has been sacked.". On my last call they asked me why I kept telephoning with the same question all the time and I said that I just loved hearing the answer. Do you think the BBC will now do the decent thing and sack Shearer and that twat Lawrenson. While they are at they could do us all a favour and sack Neville, Ferdinand, Murphy and the very silly Welsh Windbag. I can only dream.
Oh believe me, every summer I get excited to return to Eastleigh (of all places!). A huge park across the street, green spaces, close to the forest and I can make trips to the beach. Today though, Kuwait is gorgeous, t-shirt weather, walking along the beach and having a BBQ. Lovely. It's in the city where it gets depressing. Never gets dark, no stars, monotonous weather and everything is sand coloured.
Well, got knocked out at the gym today. First time it's ever happened to me. Was sparring with my buddy, lifted my leg to kick and then I was sitting cross-legged on the floor and the trainer was asking me if I needed some water. Terrifying. They had to describe what happened after which made me feel even worse! Now they won't let me go in the gym for a month, but I suppose it's for the best.
3 network is buying o2. So only 3 mobile networks( 3, EE and Vodafone) now, get ready to be ripped off.
The gym medic gave me his whatsapp, told me to keep in touch and he's coming to check me tomorrow. It's much easier getting healthcare here if you have an Arabic speaker to translate. Most hospital staff don't know English.
A police officer who kicked and hit a mother as she sat by the hospital bed of her sick child, leaving her with more than 40 injuries, has been cleared of actual bodily harm. Warren Luke, 38, a Metropolitan police officer, was accused of repeatedly kicking and punching the 41-year-old woman, who, hospital staff had said to him, was refusing to leave. But a jury at Wood Green crown court on Thursday cleared Luke of committing any crime. The mother, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was caring for her seven-year-old daughter, who suffers from cerebral palsy, when the incident happened at a London hospital in December 2013. The court heard how an argument ensued when the mother refused to leave the hospital room at the request of staff and Luke was one of four police officers called to the hospital to resolve the incident. In a video interview played to the jury, the mother said Luke had told her: “‘You’ve got to leave, you’ve got to leave’. I kept playing with my daughter and then I saw him moving towards me. He was kicking me and kicking me. He had one hand on my head. When I fell on the bed he grabbed my hair and banged my head. I was screaming. I couldn’t defend myself. My ex-husband ran in and shouted, ‘why are you kicking my wife?’” Luke, who has been a police officer for six years, told the court that the mother’s behaviour had been “escalating” and he felt the child was at risk of injury. He said he had contemplated using a baton or CS gas but decided that that was not an option.Instead, he told the court, he struck the mother repeatedly on her left bicep and then decided to try a different approach which he described as a “distraction strike” on the left side of the mother’s face, using his booted foot. Luke told the court: “I did kick out at the left side of her face as trained to do. My footwear was a boot but it’s light.” When asked how he had caused so many different injuries to the mother he said: “I can’t say exactly where and how her injuries were sustained, I can only say what I did.” The woman told the Guardian she needed plastic surgery following the incident and has been off work for more than a year recovering from her injuries. Luke accused the mother of grabbing his groin during the attack, which she denied. He said he had acted to protect the child and was concerned that the mother had grabbed her arm and that the child was in danger of falling off the bed and becoming disconnected from the hospital machines. When asked in court if he had used full force on a mother refusing to leave the hospital, he said: “I wouldn’t say that I used full force but I do remember hitting harder because it had no effect. I used police tactics with good reason that were absolutely necessary. I didn’t go too far. Whenever a police officer uses force you need to be accountable for it.” Security staff at the hospital who witnessed the incident told the court they were appalled by it. Two police constables who also attended the incident gave evidence for the prosecution. Laura Riley, one of the officers, wept as she described the scene, and the officer Mary Clark described the incident as “just horrific”. The mother told the Guardian that her daughter had been sick since she was a newborn and she had fought hard ever since to keep her alive; at one point the baby had been on a life-support machine; she had pleaded with doctors not to switch it off. A Metropolitan police service spokesman confirmed that Luke had been cleared of actual bodily harm and said that a misconduct review would take place. http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...en-luke-cleared-kicking-mother-child-hospital
I wouldn't be absolutely sure that's going to happen, Beef. After all, it's 3 that has been driving the contract prices down, so far. Although, with less competition..?
Yep less competition means less pressure to lower prices quicker. We need Google to start their mobile service over here like they just have in USA.
Hope you are ok, but it is further evidence for me, that I need to stay healthy and keep clear of gyms.
I would have been so proud if Stevie Williams had been my son. He was a belligerent little bugger and a brilliant footballer so I take some comfort from the fact that he must have had the same genes as me.
