I may or may not know things which are national secrets under the act. It makes no difference whether I've signed the OSA or not. I'm subject to it wherever I am and whoever I am. I think you are talking about a specific subset of the OSA. The OSA applies to everything which might be an official secret. Is there some part of the act which is just about designation of buildings? I have said (several times) that people are covered by the act. I have also said that the OSA applies to classified items (Secrets) . You appear to be commenting on something I haven't remotely claimed. "the act covers people (everyone) classified material and specific places" (see my post above) There is a part of the act which is about the designation of places (the definition of prohibited places, as I said which could include [some] buildings) - that's what I've also said. As a flow down from the need to keep stuff "secret" (protected) then there are a set of regulations for State and non-state entities which eventually get down to facilities. These regualtions and laws are not part of the OSA. For example I work for a company which is defined as a List X company, and there are a ton of regs that apply as consequence, including the need for security, the types of measures and facilities to be used, processes and procedures to be followed and the vetting of personnel and so on.

blandy Posted December 18, 2015 Moderator Share Posted December 18, 2015 So how about discussing export regulations next - ITAR and EAR....no, let's not - I think I'd rather cut my face off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Had a bit of time before a train. Went to the 'Spoons next to Worcester Foregate St. A double Hendricks and Fentimans tonic costs £3.70. Leaving London for a comfortable life of middle aged alcoholism has never been so tempting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Was referred to as a functioning alcoholic this week. Excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 @Xann @Seat68 I once (only once) got invited to a 'do' up at Llanbradach Workmen's Club. Being the big guy from the cosmopolitan metropolitan south of the M4 I said I'd go get the first round. From memory it was something like 3 pints, a white wine and a couple of pepsi's (which turned up as cans!). I had change from a tenner! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beer isn't bad either - when I've popped in they've had Ubu, for instance. Otherwise, it's still a bit grim in there - like a carpeted car park. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Ha Ha, After 2 jugs of cocktails at £6 a throw it'll be alright. Another one or two and it'll look like this... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fine until you 'accidentally' bump in to some tattooed troglodyte from Tolladine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the new Angel Place after the demise of the Dolphin? My benchmark for bad Worcester pubs was the Glover's Needle. It's looking a great deal less menacing on Google. Less amphetamines in the bogs I'd wager. Edited December 20, 2015 by Xann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It matters little where you drink, There are few Worcester pubs that are bad (or dodgy) now. It's not like the bad old days of the late 80s/early 90s. Worcester's turned in to a pretty normal town of average drunkenness and very few stabbings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grapeshot or Farriers (which was all fine) and Images (for a bit of clubbing!)- the crown/crown passage which wasn't great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Spent a lot of time in those establishments then, and the Nag's your way. The Grapeshot was a good laugh. Actually looked to see if it was open, it wasn't, did the Spoon. The Grapeshot was a good bar venue, have you been in the current incarnation?

No. Rarely go in to worcester - if I do then it'll be a crawl down the tything revolving around a rugby game or two. Grapeshot = me 16-18 year old.
