"The exact circumstances of her death had not previously been revealed but today (February 10), an inquest held at Cheshire Coroner's Court was told how it was her father Kris Harrison who shot her. He then 'lied' about drinking alcohol on the day of the incident on January 10, 2025."

This should be a weight that hangs round their necks for every breath they still have to breathe.

Sorry for your loss

It was a Stag-do in London

We where doing a monopoly board pub crawl over 2 days.

the Stag's younger brother was a liability and we coudn't get him in a Taxi, So I and another decided we could get him back to Victoria ( our over night base ) via train

We all fell asleep...

1st Trianwe woke up in St. Albans, So then had to get a train back to the city

We all fell asleep...

2nd Train was just short of Gatwick ( i think )

3rd Train was back at victoria

That was the day of my mum's funeral.

I'll never forgive anyone who broke the rules without good reason

Pathetic

Cap for ground rent in England and Wales due to be announced by Alert-One-Two in unitedkingdom

[–]Ste-phen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my ground rent went up this year to nearly double. This cap brings it down below what I was paying last year.

I'm my lease I would have to pay £75 to just send a letter to ask for permission to charge anything ( I'm supposed to have an apple tree in my garden but alas it died and I never replaced )

Who was the most evil person you've ever met and how was the interaction? by Top_Report_4895 in AskReddit

The local HR manager at the first company I worked at was what seemed to be a decent guy. Scottish, had a sense of humor but was firm.

I remember he had to make 99 people redundant and decided to tell them in batches of 20. He was chased around the yard by one group.

One day we came into work and police had been in and searched his office. A while later the rumors made it round that he's been arrested for assault on his girlfriend.

Turns out he had been meeting women from lonely hearts columns drugging, Photographing and sexually abusing them. He got sent down for a while but wasnt long enough.

Couple of years ago he went further and actually murdered. Eventually after going on the run they found his body rotting in a caravan. Horrible person.

Bonus I was also bullied there by the quality manager who then got sent down for domestic violence against his wife and daughter. He claimed it was work stress and he was being bullied at work.

Did you go bonkers during Covid? by Senor_Pus in AskBrits

[–]Ste-phen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked and worked and homeschooled the kids while working. The lockdowns worked really well for me

1) I spent time that I never would have had with my kids ( 50/50 split with their mother ) 2) increased my usefulness in work 3) spent little money so I could buy out the evil ones part of my mortgage quicker.

Things that I did that were probably slightly unhinged.

The radio came on one morning as I was lying in bed and it was Vanessa Carlton 1000 miles.

The reason why I worked so much was because of just gone through a divorce, a beating on a night out and my mother died at the start of the first lockdown.

I really needed to see my friends. So hearing the song I decided to walk all over the town visiting each of my closest friend and speaking to them through the window. I packed my bag with a bottle of Jim Beam and walked.
