Things that make you SAD thread.

The rational part of me knows that the death penalty will do more harm than good.

If they'd been one of my girls though I think I'd agree with you

Which is exactly why we don't and shouldn't have it. Anyway this isn't really the thread for that debate.

Another round of redundancies on my department at work.

My job is being dissolved and I'll be redeployed elsewhere but my colleagues are all now 'at risk' and we'll be starting the consultation process shortly.

Trying not to mope around my colleagues who have it much worse but I've loved this role so losing it has hit me like a train.

 

[Tony Towner]

Yeah I saw cafés, patisseries, pizza and hot food kiosks are all closing and head office is also getting another pounding. Hope all works out OK for you

Back injuries. Did myself a proper nasty last week and sick to death of trying to find some, any vaguely comfortable position to lie, sit or stand

I hope you feel better soon.

Have you seen a chiro? The one I use did wonders for my torn meniscus. My wife also uses him for her back/hip.

State of this.

Eurosport closing in the UK. End of an era.

Not been so good for football for a while (Eurogoals in the 90s was magic) but I hope they don't start pissing about with their snooker coverage. I know others on here like the cycling too.

 

[The Bear]

Yeah I watch their snooker coverage. Hope it stays somewhere accessible.

Edit - Going to TNT on 28th Feb. Which is fine as I get that as part of my Virgin bundle.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yeah, but it's whether TNT take it seriously. If they're not rebranding the channels, just pushing all of Eurosport's rights onto their existing channels, some things might end up missing out.

I bloody loved Eurogoals when I was a teenager!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Eurosport cycling coverage is fantastic. Presumably everything will be on ITV4.

great shame.

they also had full le mans coverage which was great stuff

No, ITV are losing all the cycling after this year

Knowing someone needs support but that you can’t be the one to offer it.

Oh man

My friends father had to say goodbye to his dog today
Vets were ace
Digging the grave and helping comfort her broke my heart

Always a tough time, still miss our old girl after 5 months.

In one of those situations where you are annoyed your plans are ruined but know somewhere ahead of you peoples lives have probably ended.

Sat on the M6 near Cov since 9.40. No sign of moving and multiple ambulances, fire engines and police have squeezed through. Crash involving 6 cars from what I can see online.

It's why the grenfell residents are totally correct in their fight. They now understand, all these government and local authority depts etc don't care about them at all. It has become very very clear that £££ is more important than human beings.

The seven companies named in the inquiry report are
Arconic Architectural Products SAS, who made the cladding;
Saint-Gobain Construction Products UK Limited, which previously owned Celotex Limited
Exova (UK) Limited, which carried out fire risk assessments
Harley Facades Limited, which installed cladding Kingspan Insulation Limited, which was
responsible for insulation
Rydon Maintenance Limited, which was the main project contractor; and
Studio E Architects Limited.

Angela Rayner stated that they had all acted
with 'systemic dishonesty'.

'Their disgraceful, mercenary behaviour put profit before people and exploited the regulatory regime to evade accountability with fatal consequences,' she said.

They will each face a full investigation under the new Procurement Act 2023, which came into force just a few days ago. If found to be negligent and in violation of that Act, they could face professional debarment from public contracts, as well as hefty fines and even possible prison time for company executives.

Cabinet office parliamentary secretary, Georgia Gould, said: 'These investigations will establish whether the organisations have engaged in professional misconduct for the purposes of that Act.

'The new Act allows us to investigate suppliers and, if certain grounds are met, to add their
names to a published and centrally managed debarment list, which must be taken into
account by contracting authorities in awarding new contracts and undertaking new procurements.'

She said the organisations will be notified when the investigations are opened, and shewarned that investigations into other organisations could also take place.
