    Speaking of meaningless protests, anybody bother with the 'DON'T PAY YOUR BILLS ON THE 1ST!' bollocks?

    Presumably it died a death anyway when average usage was capped at £2,500.

    It's only a cap on unit price though, not a hard cap on the final bill. Plus £2500 is far in excess of previous prices. I have still seen some stuff floating around, assume it will pick up when the cold sets it and it goes sub zero at night.

    I pointed out that McDonald's is not an essential outgoing and I believe that answers both questions.

    The question it doesn't answer is how I aimed for the Job Thread and ended up in here. Don't put me on bowling duty, Jimmy.

    Plebs historically did the bowling, while gentlemen did the batting and then drank in a separate bar afterwards. Send a note up from the saloon bar if you need any more information from me.

    Yeah I know, that’s why I said cap on average usage.

    Sports ranked by poshness, poshest first

    Polo
    Showjumping/dressage
    Rowing
    Tennis
    Motor racing
    Golf
    Cycling
    Rugby union
    Athletics
    Cricket
    Football
    Rugby league
    Snooker
    Horse racing
    Boxing

    There's an argument for horse racing to be a lot higher, but its true heartlands are shrivelled old men with cigarettes in bookies.

    Athletics needs to be divided further. Wide discrepancy among disciplines. On average, probably below cricket.

    I put it in the middle as it's a bit of an unknown to me. I visited an athletics club earlier in the year (to try and do a deal to use their infield for cricket) and couldn't place them at all except that they were all quite weird and very earnest. Think it might be the sport of choice for noted social segment The Gays.

    Not sure how things are over there. Over here, long distance running is all scrawny Vermont kids, while short distance running is all waves and big butts. Then you have the multi-sport categories, where the more sports you add, the posher it gets.

    Yeah but that wouldn't work as a spectator sport as you'd need somebody to find vaguely supportable.

    It's been a while folks, but I'm pleased to report an utterly stupid animal-based story has surfaced.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan...ester-63131251

    A goat stole the show during a cathedral's animal blessing service by "singing" along to the organ music.

    Two-year-old Pablo's "bah-rilliant" performance at Worcester Cathedral's annual event has made him a social media star.

    His vocals led to fits of giggles by staff from Atwell Farm Park near Redditch and cathedral choir members.

    "I think when he was bleating it was all echoing back at him. He was having a lovely time," farm staff said.

    The video of Pablo and his alpaca friends Minstrel and Barnaby was shared by the cathedral on TikTok has since had 1.6m views and 240,000 likes.

    The service was filmed by the BBC's Songs of Praise programme, but it is not clear whether Pablo's exploits will make the final edit.
    I'm sorry, who comes up with this stuff? Absolute nonsense of a country. Those alpacas never far from the scene of the crime either.

    He wasn't singing either. He was clearly distressed. Also, they don't bah. They do this:

    That nurse surely cant expect to get off with killing those babies if the prosecution has evidence that she was the only floating around when they all died?

    That story wouldn't be front page news prior to sentencing if they weren't 100% certain she's going down. They'd be too terrified of Libel to do that.

    It all seems rather tenuous to me. From the article I read earlier, her being on duty while there were unexplained deaths seems to be the only evidence.

    NICUs aren't run like a standard hospital ward and in a situation like this I can imagine it's quite easy to pin down who is likely to have been responsible.

    Do they even know the cause of deaths though? I know that the prosecution is accusing her of injecting air into their IV (or something along those lines), but is that even detectable?

    I remember reading about a similar case a few years ago, and it was all conjecture and guesswork in terms of what they were doing.

    She repeatedly searched for one of the babies parents on facebook which seems suspect.
