Off Topic The Goodhand Arms

Be careful then . The trains will be in there as well !

 

I notice there is some criticism of Jack Whitehall being cast as a gay character in a Disney film....some think a gay actor should play the role. On that basis no gay actor should play straight. As Lawrence Olivier told Dustin Hoffman, It's called acting, my dear boy.

Vaping more harmful than first thought. Shocked...

Man arrested after crashing car into barriers near Parliament. Some pedestrians injured...not life threatening apparently (thank goodness). Just because people are Dumbos doesn't mean they can't be dangerous.

 

At least I now know that the next time I get steaming drunk and beat the crap out of someone I'll be found not guilty.

 

When trying to discover the ins and out of the charges, I came across a man asking for advice as he had been charged with GBH after hitting a man, then again when the man was on the ground. His mitigation was that he was drunk, but of decent character as he had only previously been convicted of a couple of similar offences and drink-driving. Not a hint of irony. It's a different world out there.

 

Bridge collapsed in Genoa. 22 dead.

 

Now 30. with the number of safety inspections and structural work that go on in these types of buildings you just don't expect this sort of thing to happen.

 

I have just finished reading this by the pool. Excellent read, although a little bit of faith lost in the authorities.

This is the policeman who put 2 of the Stephen Lawrence killers behind bars.

 

Death in Genoa bridge collapse now 35....sadly more are likely.

 

Away on holiday and another guest suggested I read this book ....

After the fireman told the parrot he loved him...as instructed by the owner.

 

Had work done in 2016 . Was being shored up at the time of the collapse .

Smacks of cost cutting back in 2016 to me .

Time will tell.

 

Good luck to anyone who's collecting A Level results in the morning

 

cute cat alert!
