ThunderPower_14 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Further to that, it's in this thread because I really enjoy my job and this was a funny story of a stubborn man who cut off his nose to spite his face. Like any profession, when something funny happens in the course of our work, we're allowed and encouraged to find it funny in an appropriate setting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What cheers me up is there's no such thing as jaywalking in Ireland. Which is why we're absolute **** for doing it when we're abroad nor us here , to the point I read it ( J-Walk ) as J- Wank and assumed it was to do with looking at cute Japanese girls in blue skirts and ankle socks Edited January 18, 2019 by tonyh29 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 The police are in a bit of a no win situation. I've been the innocent victim of bullying police that think they are in charge. I've also worked in a shop where I've feared some of the customers and wanted to know there's someone out there keeping an eye on the idiots, the sly, and the troubled.

We're staying at a hotel Sunday night in Kent and then on Monday doing a "surprise activity". Thing is, the hotel is called "Brandshatch Hotel and Spa". And it's literally next door to Brands Hatch Circuit. I don't think she realises what "Brands Hatch" is or means. So this whole time I've been pretending I don't know what the activity is going to be, when it's quite obviously going to be a track day. Anyway, she revealed today what the activity is. It's not a track day at all The proximity to Brands Hatch is a complete coincidence. She really does have no idea what Brands Hatch is, so much so that she never made the connection. I've been acting like a right smug word removed this whole time and she's completely fooled me. By Accident. Haha, you will be staying at the scene of my life moments. It wouldn’t take up a whole chapter but would deffo be worth a few pages in my life story. The short version is, I was the Best Man and I apparently ruined the wedding. if the bar is still to the right of the main door, we filled that with a 4K PA rig at 1am to continue the party (the bars not that big) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, too, make sure that I cross a road wherever and whenever I deem it safe whatever country I may be in. Because I am an idiotic prick. My first time in Vegas 2005. I decided to cross Las Vegas Boulevard not at a pedestrian crossing but just on the road a little down from the M and M store. How I didn't get killed or a ticket for Jay walking is beyond me.

bickster Posted January 22, 2019 Moderator Share Posted January 22, 2019 Just received this: Quote Dear Sirs Further to my conversation with **** earlier today, I have been told I need to send an email enquiry in relation to the matter. We have two clients who were injured in a road traffic accident on 28/06/2018 at Walton Hall Avenue at roughly 15:35. Under section 35 of the Data Protection Act 1998, we make a formal request for the name and address of the driver of the vehicle, the registration number and details of the insurer. I look forward to hearing from you within the next 14 days. Kind Regards I just sent this in reply Quote Dear *** Here’s a few pointers for you (1) The Data Protection Act 1998 is no longer current law (2) The 1998 Act, nor indeed the current legislation (I’ll let you look it up) allow for data sharing of this nature, in fact they were both pretty much designed to prevent it (3) We have a 6 month data retention policy, this data is purged to this level on a daily basis (4) Drivers do not have a responsibility to report accidents to us (5) Even if none of the above were true, we still couldn’t identify the information you’d require from the scant details you’ve provided (6) I’m forwarding this email to the ICO I look forward to never hearing from you again 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
