It seems that there have been regular "mishaps" since that time. Wonder how many near misses have occurred.
Coronar warned USAF chiefs 13 years ago

In the same year 56 Suffolk-based US personnel appeared at Sudbury Magistrates' Court - the court local to the bases - in just one day to face speeding charges.
Doesn't bode well for base commanders.

Really?

Australians should say 'ya'll' instead of 'ladies and gentlemen' - according to politically correct new push for 'gender-neutral language'.

Well it has got a good laugh from us all here, but we all here now have a big question.

Does the UN Women Australia group have any Australian women in it or are they all from the southern parts of the U.S.?

'gender-neutral language'? Million laughs:) Doesn't work in any language. Oh Finnish does. They don't distinguish "he" and "she" and it's "hän" instead for all genders.

“Full House” actress Lori Loughlin and her fashion designer husband, Mossimo Giannulli, agreed to serve prison time as part of a plea deal in the college admissions bribery case, according to court papers filed Thursday.

Loughlin, 55, has agreed to serve two months behind bars and Giannulli, 56, has agreed to serve five months under the deal that must be approved by the judge. They are scheduled to plead guilty Friday via video conference.

They agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud in a plea agreement filed in Boston’s federal court. Giannulli will also plead guilty to a charge of honest services wire and mail fraud, prosecutors said. Prosecutors have agreed to dismiss charges of money laundering and federal programs bribery that were added after the case was filed.

Don't you just love the tricks pulled by accountants?

My son plays an online game advertised as ~£50/qtr.
But is it really. Their quarter is 3 months of 30 days, so for a full year you need to pay early for the next five days to fill in the full year. Not a lot for each individual. But there are, according to my son 18 million players world wide.

A little bit of maths and you can work out this is an extra £40 million per year. Not a bad idea to boost the end of year numbers, is it.

Eldest son, the autistic one, noticed because the next DD is due on Sunday and he wondered how that worked.

That was an on-going argument between me & bus companies. Monthly ticket used to be (example - May 22- June 21) bought 12 times a year. Now it's 13 (28 day months). Still being advertised as monthly.
All depends on one's definition of month.

Works the same with my pension. Paid monthly, but in fact every 4 weeks (28 days), so it wanders around the calendar. My monthly electricity DD is being taken from my bank today, but my pension doesn't go into the bank until the 26th this month - next Tuesday. But I do have 13 pension days, and only 12 electricity payments, a year. And I have to account for it by the day to the income tax office.

Yep, organisations love screwing us around. Had a fairly big argument approx. an hour ago in the bank.
Signs have gone up & the staff are telling people as well - Do not change up cash. Approx. every 3 months or so, I pay in around £50-£70 in small change.
This morning it was £65. It's mainly 1's, 2's, 5's & 20's.
Their answer was to use the new cash in machines (use them as it saves a lot of time waiting, unfortunately, they do not take coinage).
They continued to ignore that fact. :-(

Edit: Just back from my local Post Office who were happy to serve me. On hearing that banks are refusing coinage, he tried selling me a Post Office account.
While at the bank, I forgot to cancel the changes to my account which will occur on 1/6/20 as I was annoyed over the coinage situation. Thankfully I forgot.
Received this letter on Weds & only read it full today. Had I refused those changes, my account will have been automatically closed. WTF?
Considering taking up the Post Office's recommendation.

But many - including several Tory MPs - think they've got this wrong. They believe the public does care and see it as one rule for us, one rule for them.

Doing some research for somebody else this morning, I came across a report saying that Anne Sacoolas had only been in the UK for three weeks prior to the fatal accident...

I've just stumbled across a couple of campaigns as a result of those tragic results:

Justice for Harry Dunn - Extradite Anne Sacoolas

Dominic Raab must resign or be sacked



All in a very political world...

Stay safe!

But instead they followed the daily exhortations from the government, the prime minister's appeal to the nation, and stayed home instead - however hard it was.
Rather than acknowledging a tiny iota of conflict or fraction of fault, instead he seemed to double down on what many people see as a double standard.

Did the Prime Minister manage to shut this mess down today? Not even close.
This will cost him dear

A further No 10 statement addressing allegations in the Sunday papers about a second visit to the North East was issued on Saturday night.
We will not waste our time answering a stream of false allegations about Mr Cummings from campaigning newspapers."

Cummings
Driven around 30 miles from his family farm to the town of Barnard Castle on Easter Sunday (12 April) - 15 days after he had displayed symptoms - in an effort to test his eyesight and readiness to drive back to London.

No matter what you do, no matter what you say, no matter where you go...

In this case, we've got a really big one at the top...

And rubes never will because it requires actual thought not knee jerkism.

Or put it another way, rube in my neighborhood group was screaming about how to poop her dog in a riot. Didn't care one bit a man was dead. That's a rube.
