Morning. Zero meetings today and everyone has ****ed off for Xmas already so just ****ing about at home with the dog for my money today. First date tonight.
When you’re talking to her tonight think about spit roasting her with me I meant the gal not the dog btw
**** that for a lark ! even the afternoon dog walks are getting pretty grim - mind you it probably doesn't help that i've got so many layers on that i'm starting to look like the Michelin man .
Incredibly sad news on the boys from Hull https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-63969020 which brings me to the bit that irks me. Whenever some massive tragedy happens, theres always (typically) a massive reaction to ensuring safeguards/how can we prevent it etc from occuring. I don't know this lake well enough (did it not look like a lake so the kids accidently walked into it) so signage seems reasonable. But fencing it off, CCTV etc, we can't just fence off every lake. Surely at some point it's just a massive tragedy and unfortunately the kids (presumably) were doing something stupid because they are curious and sometimes ignore/don't know its dangerous to play on icey lakes.
It was a terrible tragedy Bobby. Around our way we have a couple of quarries, both with 8ft fencing around them but kids still get in on a weekend in the summer for a swim, some unfortunately ending in tragedy but non recently, thankfully. It would be very difficult to fence off every lake no doubt but if it was done, my point bring kids will find a way in, we've most likely done daft things as kids and kids will continue to do so. My wife nearly told someone to puss off yesterday, blaming the parents for letting the kids play out in such weather, one of those women with no kids of her own but knows everything about parenting. As a footnote this young lady deserves some kind of award and recognition for her actions, she did exactly the right thing not entering the water. https://www.itv.com/news/central/20...calls-she-tried-to-save-boys-from-frozen-lake
