I have started chucking out my vinyl - no requests please I have good homes arranged, and the rare 4AD is staying - and decided to become a psychotherapist.


Keef - did the same thing a couple of weekends back; decided to kick the sauce for a while.


Well done pgc - round to yours for a dansak soon then? Hows the new arrival?

Many congratulations and well done. >:D<

Today I worked from home, so I went to the Doctors, went to the North Cross Road Pharmacy (see soon to be new thread), waved at Steph, chatted to Reuben, got a coffee at Nero's, worked a bit, had lunch (see thread), went to a business meeting at Dulwich Hospital, bumped into and chatted to PGC, came home.

Received call whilst dressing in the pulse changing room, please get more details on faulty ventilator. Rang Graz in Austria obtained facts and reported them to repairer. Received an order and now have to do real work to fulfill same. Must remember to enclose free gift.

    • Thanks for that - none  of mine  have been Mordena - whilst vulnerable cat, think I will just take my chances… Will be having flu though - certainly not by choice - much prefer not to but in vulnerable group.. Avoided them until last year…. Luck of drawer if you are as sick as fog  or just sore arm … assume - god knows - that flu jab is same throughout country.       
    • Wow, that is what it costs for one prisoner. So they get full board and lodging, 24 hour  monitoring  in over populated prison, we are led to believe, minimum exercise, assume a tv in each cell provided - in USA it is together with wash hand basin and c toilet - some have showers as well.   Clearly this amount of money takes  into account overstretched and overworked prison officers, protection for them, counselling which is, in my opinion a bare minimum dealing with prisoners in all settings. Do if Sweden can look outside the box, why can’t we? Or are we just not bothered at all / read statistics some where that reoffending is normal and to be frank, with economy as it is at the moment re employment, cost of living and homelessness..not surprised they reoffend to get back inside - food provided, roof over your head - much better than street living, mixing with wrong crowd, trying to get roof over your head, find a job where 90 % won’t employ you as been inside..
    • @beansprout The Swedes seem to have a useful strategy with regard to offenders  which has reduced repeat offending.  I agree that prison time for minor offences is a complete waste of time. Even worse is that prisons are "colleges of crime" where inmates learn about how to be do crimes and worst of all, become exposed to drug taking. I wouldn't advocate having chain gangs as in the USA but some strategy for getting them into say manual work under supervision might be useful - especially if it came with a modest wag. This would be significantly cheaper than the £51,100 it costs per year for  keeping one in jail.
