I photograph nunhead Cemetery at least weekly with no challenges from either the 'FONC' or the wardens, including shots I take of inside the tombs (in fact FONC have asked me to share the inside tomb shots with them, which, BTW, I started taking to see how the tombs are constructed because no-one working for the cemetery could tell me). So, there may be a sign Saying 'no pics', but it may has no actual bearing on reality. It's important people reading this thread aren't misled into thinking they cannot freely take photos in Nunhead Cemetery. It's a venue for many photographers.

Shame on Republicans for not speaking out sooner against this asshole.

Train to Ryde, IOW. Taxi to Colwell Bay. Stay at Linstone Chine, self-catering chalets in cliff top. You can get a bus to Compton Bay which has Oregon - like beaches. You'll feel like you've been somewhere.

"Is the laser safe to use on the old sack and crack area?" Winter's coming Jeremy, sure you don't want to keep your 'insulation' until the Spring, at least ?

Bogies. There. I said it.

Check UK Govt tax website and also those of the countries you are considering. This way you can at least start to form a picture of what the position might be and it'll help you with the conversation if you do engage a tax specialist to advise you / help you see-off the BS you may be fed by them. You owe it to yourself to do at least that in front. Basically (as you probably already know) domicile will be a feature in this exercise.

Most of time when I cook at home and no-one's in or coming over for the food, I eat it stood up in the kitchen holding the plate in my hand like a tray. Ideally over the sink, but I will 'raise my game' to leaning against / over a kitchem worktop sometimes. I far prefer eating this way (has to be in the kitchen) than sitting down. Sitting down / at a table feels overly formal for me and takes too long. Of course, nobody agrees with me or can see why I do this.

The only candidate of any merit I've ever seen was early on in perhaps first/second episode. It was the dark guy who had been / was a London Undergorund manager. I think he had a girlfriend and very young child and just wanted to get on and use his abilities. Polite, well-mannered, humble, but also clever, patient, saw every train-wreck coming. So far ahead of his loud-mouthed supertwat competitors with their tailored suits and unrealistic boasts. I think he won, not sure, but it must be more than accident that all the other candidates (and most since) are utter cockwombles. It's a tired recipe now this programme. Overstayed it's welcome by several years.

When I was a cocktail barman at the Mayfair trying to get into IT, I applied for a 'computer job'.. "So KK, what types of computers have you used and what for ?" "I've used grey ones, white ones, black ones and also there's a beige one on reception". "Interesting, and what do you use them for ?" "Well, mainly pressing buttons and stuff, looking at the screen and getting printouts". "Nice. You've never used a computer before have you ?". "Yeah. Honest". Didn't get the job. Swine.

Buying a pair of slippers in a shoe shop, outside it's pissing down, the geezer tells me he wants 5p if I want a plastic bag.

Agree on ain't seen nowt yet. The hole the UK has dug itself is gone be well deep (pun NOT intended).

if you can't proceed and have to wait then yes why not, it's a shared RESPONSIBILITY. Just do it nicely and don't get shirty and it's a win-win, isn't it ? You're saving them some work and should be commended while you can get your kit washed.

Ha ! Reminds me, I remarked to the lad this afternoon as we had our septic tank emptied and the company's wagon plates read 'POO2 ...'. My assumption is there's a POO1, POO3, etc. just like Thunderbirds !!

20 years ago a friend of mine wss told he had passed the interview for a computer programmer role but, as a final agenda item (which he was assured all successful candidates had undergone), he was asked to "climb on the table and do an impersonation of a chicken". My friend, a strapping farmer's son, made sure he'd heard the question correctly then told the interviewer to FO before leaving and telling the guy to stick his interview and the role up his arse. I was once asked why I'd worn a green suit to an interview (to which I replied I'd assumed a green dress would go down badly) but the question really pissed me off. The more people I talk to about this subject the crazier stories I hear, so please share yours, it seems everyone's got one. All of it seems to show there are some twattish interviewers who really need a good twatting to go with their twattishness.

It's almost as if the burger franchises see a potential opening, then take their eye off the ball in respect of parallel attempts by similar franchises to do same - it doesn't seem viable for them all with so many similar types of outlet. Xoco also does burgers.

agreed. and this is predictably more likely if you're casual about your security.

one possibility is they're doing clearances for houses / renovation sites and using that land to deposit what they collect.

This definitely works in the playground, but for us grown-ups (and with thieves) it's not so assured as it was back in school.

I see a time lapse photo opportunity there PR. You could name it "eradication of bridge view in 90 secs".

Fair enough point, I do feel sorry for travellers too, though.

I think the danger with self defense classes (especially early on) is students take confidence from practicing in a centrally heated, soft-matted, friendly environment where they pay the teacher to make them feel good (this is basically what happens) and take this 'confidence' (another spelling would be 'dillusion') into the real world. They think they can do more than they actually can and come off worse than if they'd done nothing. Takes a long time to be effective. Happy to read proof to the contrary.

OK Cheers J&B. I can understand that, if work is starting imminently.

Well I'm afraid 'it' IS the height, the OP set the scene with "Not only do they scale dramatic heights..." I know not any reason why a passer-by would have concern over a private hedge height. I have a very tall one and, being a caring citizen, need to be aware of impacts it may have on a fellow member of the community - perhaps it causes 'excessive shadow' causing people to think they're in a ghetto at night when actually it's a sunny day ? Having said that, I know the OP was a wind-up.

If you had TEN MILLION Euros worth of jewellery with you in an apartment on holiday why would you not hire 2x professional security guards for a total of a grand for the 3x days you're there ? That's one ten thousandth of the value of the jewellery. Seems almost negligent.. *Reminder to look-up why exactly Kanye West is a 'thing' and what kind of people actually follow him*

How can the height of someone's hedge be of any relevance to a passer-by ?
