Do you Live In A Suffolk Turd Town?
at 14:23 19 Jun 2025

I now realise my pronunciation of Leiston and Haverhill are completely wrong. This guy says he spoke to locals, so must have heard local pronunciations.

Oh well, everyday is a school day.

Quite enjoyed that, not quite as good as the London Districts one in some ways and better in others



Grove Park is the district both my parents grew up in, and in which I began my journey to birth.

From what I've read, it seems to me the clamouring for an Inquiry comes from people confusing Inquiry with Criminal Investigation. Whilst criminal prosecution could follow an Inquiry... somehow I doubt it, like Grenfell, those who should be held to account rarely are.

Abuse of kids in care pre-dates the grooming gangs much "loved" by many social media users, by 100s(?) of years.
And not limited to the mainland, Haut de la Garenne anyone, or away from UK, Mount Cashel Orphanage in Canada run by Catholic church, the list is probably endless.

It may be a bit pitchfork and blazing torches, but I want to see some people held accountable, because if there aren't it's another step towards admitting the system is broken, and the powers that be don't know how to fix it.

Wife had started to watch it and I wasn't paying attention, because there's so much stuff to read on "X"... at one point almost told her to turn it off because it was so damn depressing, but then got hooked into it.

Ps
Watched a bit of an episode of Tales of the Unexpected on Sunday, opening scene shot inside the Willis Building, could see, what was then, GRE building in background

Too much football these days
at 19:10 9 Jun 2025

Cash is king, you may view the tournament as pointless, but club owners don't as they get squillions to participate. Long gone is the people's game.

Besides, for me, a Club World Cup makes more sense than international football especially when we (England) pick a striker from a retirement league, but didn't pick him when he'd had his best season.

If Ipswich get to the Club World Cup... I'll do everything possible to be there

RIP Frederick Forsyth
at 19:00 9 Jun 2025

Author of one of my favourite books, lots of Suffolk & Ipswich references as it's mainly based there.
The film featured an SAS helicopter flying under Orwell Bridge.

Well that was weird, clearly didn't copy correctly...
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2009/sep/22/lady-scotland-illegal-immigrant

So many other great books in his bibliography

R.I.P. indeed

You misunderstood the term "Fine"


a monetary penalty imposed by a court or other authority for a crime or offense

I.e.
Whistling on a Tuesday
Walking on the cracks in the pavement
Possession of an offensive wife
Wearing a loud shirt in a built up area
Not having 6 fingers per hand
Not having relations with relations
Etc

My hands have some scarring from the teeth of our 10 month old American Bulldog, Luka (we didn't name him), he likes to hold my hand... with his mouth.

Not only the teeth, nails and speed but also the fact that they'll eat anything and everything, he managed to knock a loaf of bread off the counter overnight and ate the lot, then was sick for 2 days... but it still hasn't deterred him, the amount of times I've had to pry open his jaws

But at least he doesn't crap indoors anymore

Looks a bit like this

And has white eye lashes

(Yes I know that's a female in the picture)

I'm still angry at Keane's treatment of Stead, a fine footballer as exampled a few years later leading Bradford to (relative) cup glory .

My memory may be incorrect but his end went something like; got sent off at Palace (incredibly orange yellow card I said to a friend), appeal so allowed to play v QPR scored twice then shipped out.

Not like Keane ever got sent off for being a tw@t eh?

If the hyperbole on "X" is to be believed Russia may well have already landed thousands of troops on British soil... Ok so the "X" hyperbole is that they are Islamic invaders, but once you've made the leap from Asylum Seeker to invader, surely less of a leap to who actually backs / controls them.

Forget Shingle Street it's already happened in Kent

Marginally favour Oldham

He got my son a ticket for THAT Exeter game, in with the Exeter fans when he played for them. He had to sit there and behave like them...as we cracked in 5(?)before half time

What is wrong with the French
at 12:35 1 Jun 2025

The French have always loved a good riot;
Allow import of British livestock = riot
Mess with pensions = riot
Etc.

The deaths do not appear to be linked to the Policing, and very much seem to be symptom of modern society; 17y/o stabbed, scooter rider in 20s hit by car - standard night in South London...
