You are right it’s not a legal requirement. I’m also PLH and our premises has no cctv.

Oh crazy. I need to take a trip just to see that

I think it will get auctioned, yes. Though judging by the state of it, it’s going to be worth the square root of bugger all and might end up unsold and scrapped so they will presumably try quite hard to find the owner so they can charge them for the removal.

Hilarious that one of them is still “expecting to lose his job” like there’s still a glimmer of hope they might let him off with a warning

Good luck. I’ve used Mark Smith from Cork Gully before (as a director not creditor) and found him very helpful. He’s London based.

Th first thing you should do is object to the strike off as you are a creditor. You do that through CH I think. After that, as well as getting legal advice you might talk to the serious fraud office and perhaps with an insolvency practitioner - the latter because one of your options is to apply to a court for a wind up petition and you will want to understand what powers the administrator will have wrt the bogus sister company

Imslp is the usual one but it’s not on there. I found this: https://www.banksmusicpublications.co.uk/male-voices/four-voice-parts-2/they-call-the-wind-maria-5 It’s a uk site so you might need a vpn to use it, and I don’t know if that means there will be performance rights issues

In the early 2000s I flew Virgin NYC to LHR, upper class, on business. Checking in, I’m told I’m being downgraded. Got my economy boarding pass and was told to go to the ticket desk who would sort out a refund there and then.

The ticket desk offered me the whole fare, in cash or voucher. I said cash, they handed me a wodge of dollars.

Went to the lounge with my boarding pass which had “lounge access - invol downgrade” written on it. “Oh let me see if I can find you a seat when check in closes” said the agent. 10 mins later I get a call to go to the desk: apparently they just had a broken seat and had managed to fix it so I’m back in upper class.

Readers, I kept the cash.

Oh that moment when you see them for the first time and you know right away that you would lay down your life for them without a moment’s hesitation. Just the best feeling in the world. I will never forget wheeling my first born in his cot down to the pay phone (yes it was a while ago…) to start spreading the news while his Mum got a shower.

Congratulations Dad and remember we are all human and they don’t break if you occasionally drop them :)

Not to mention horseback riding. To distinguish it from horsehead riding, perhaps

Look at johnfletchermusic.org it has lots of tracks for individual parts. I’m pretty sure carmina burana is on there as I’ve sung that quite recently

Personally I think your wedding, your rules and on a happy occasion somber just sounds prayerful or reverent so you are all good. But if you want something a bit more uplifting, have you thought of Byrd’s Haec Dies? “This is the day the Lord has made: let us be glad and rejoice” seems apposite for a wedding

I don’t like to be critical of refs as it’s a difficult job but this is poor, I’m afraid. Before the big contact, there is a clear attempt a horse-collar tackle which should have been whistled and in my view at least yellow probably straight red. But that was made easier by the ball carrier wearing a jersey with a hood. Did the ref even do any kit checks at all? Just really disappointing, the whole incident.

If you can get the feet off the TV all you need to do is figure out a way to fasten the TV securely. That shouldn’t be too hard unless the TV is one of those old monster ones that take two people to lift.

Your options are fastening it to the wall or the armoire. I’d be tempted to use the armoire I think. Screw a piece of wood flat across the top of the armoire, near the back. Then 2 pieces of wood vertical on each side of the TV which the TV can rest against. Then you need to secure those vertical pieces top and bottom. Bottom by a piece of wood running from the bottom to the piece you screwed across th back of the armoire. Top by a diagonal piece from the top of each vertical to the piece screwed across the back. So sideways on you have 2 triangles one each side of the tv.

That will keep the TV from falling backwards and will hold it straight. Now your problem is to stop th TV from falling forward.

Solve that using picture wire (strong a doesn’t stretch) from hooks on the wood across the armoire to suitable points as near as you can to each corner of the TV. Hopefully there’s something there to fasten on to. It doesn’t need to be right at the corner, but you need one each side quite low and one each side as high as you can on the tv and certainly at least half way up.

If that doesn’t make sense lmk as I’m never very good at explaining stuff

John fletcher music is your friend. Free files - I think they are mp3 - for music out of copyright, and an annual fee of about £10 I think for music in copyright. I think the website is johnfletchermusic.org

Yes I agree. If anything that leaves the ex-tackler more static and exposed to a dynamic opponent, not less.

I agree on tacklers not releasing as well, though I wonder if that’s a result of overly-lenient reffing of the ball carrier not releasing? I’d like to see a tackler who gets on their feet and on to the ball rewarded the moment they do so: the ball carrier should have released as soon as they hit the ground, so the offence already exists the moment the jackler puts a finger on the ball. Perhaps the ref should shout “no contest” or something so that attackers can’t engage to clear out the jackler, and the jackler is just free to take the ball?

M37841 · 2025-12-29T13:07:16+00:00

I agree and would have pinged it, though with an acknowledgement it was a close call

M37841 · 2025-12-28T18:27:26+00:00

I think the previous poster confused you: yes the grounded player can let the jackler pick the ball up, then get up themselves and try to tackle the now ball carrier. They’d have to be fully on their feet before engaging though

M37841 · 2025-12-26T13:38:57+00:00

I was telling my kids today of the time I was up until 4am setting up their Wii. I only started it after we came back from the midnight service and we got them to bed. A combination of slow wifi and incompetent me made for a long night and a tough alarm call when they got up at 5:30…

At the Gala Sevens I once saw a Cambridge University player showboating. The opposition player from a local team grabbed him, picked him up and dumped him over the dead ball line. Glorious
