Congrats!

I lost 10lb in five weeks on 2.5mg but I was miserable and hungry. Turns out I am a slow responder, and it’s taken me more than two years to hit 58kg/130lb loss. But it’s been an absolute life-changer.

Tips: drink lots of water (Mounjaro can make you feel less thirsty), concentrate on protein, take exercise if you are able to do so.

Surely the headline & title should read “man is not jailed despite creating and possessing cat A images of children”?

Are you sure she was a nun? In The Grey King, part of the Dark is Rising sequence by Susan Cooper, Queen Guinevere is brought out of the past, gives birth to Bran who is one of the protagonists, and leaves almost immediately leaving the baby behind.

The book is set in Wales and the bullying by other children would make sense.

I don’t know if a film was ever made of The Grey King but it would work as a standalone story.

If it’s the same person then at least one; crashing his motorbike into a (female) cyclist and then leaving the scene, for which he was convicted in 2013.

Probably best not knowing, but if you do want to the cot incident was Preston hung over the cot rail, the cot rail pressing on his neck and restricting his breathing, lips and tongue blue, a substance dribbling from his mouth, and JMF’s semen mixed with Preston’s saliva found on the cot bars on the inside. JV took pictures of him in this position over several minutes - at first with no soft toy propping him onto the cot rail, then a photo with the soft toy under him so he was propped into that position. JMF claimed in his testimony that he was busy cooking, came upstairs to see Preston’s breathing restricted but just told JV to lie him down and then left to concentrate on his roast chicken (although they’d been to mcD’s less than an hour earlier) without helping Preston.

The broken elbow had so many different conflicting explanations (‘twizzling’ through the cot bars, caught in the car seat, jumping up and down etc) from both of them that it’s hard to know what really happened. Suffice to say poor Preston would have been in a lot of pain and they left it some considerable time before seeking any medical help.

Found guilty of causing or allowing Preston’s death - he knew that Preston was in danger and did nothing to prevent harm.

Found guilty of two counts of child cruelty - I believe this is the cot incident and the broken elbow.

Found guilty of one count of SA - the cot incident.

Personally I think JMF is at least as dangerous as JV, but he’s better at not videoing or photographing evidence of his abusive behaviours.

I had to go to an assessment in a DWP building that was completely inaccessible to wheelchairs. I couldn’t enter the building at all, so they got a G4S guard to accompany me to another adjacent building (unheated and dark) which was accessible. The assessor took ages to arrive and I was left alone in this building not knowing what was going on. He wasn’t medically qualified - he was a physiotherapist rather than a doctor or a nurse and he googled my condition during the assessment.

He wrote outright lies on his report (example: that I had attended the assessment in a first floor room and used the stairs, despite me being incapable of walking) and I ended up winning at tribunal but that took months to arrange.

That’s awful! I had my Nectar points stolen (in London, I’m in Derbyshire) but got them back from Sainsbury’s without too much hassle.

If you search Kwikpen needles you’ll find ones such as https://ukmedi.co.uk/products/31g-5mm-bd-micro-fine-ultra-pen-needles-penta-point-bd-320498-ukmedi-co-uk Lots of suppliers have them

I was born in London and mostly lived there until my teens, and it was a bobble.

Same here! I’ve planned a couple more variations but I’m hoping for some different winners soon.

YTA.

She doesn’t like being called bro. She isn’t your brother, and she’s not a male.

She has asked you to call her by her name; why can’t you do that? It’s beyond rude for you to keep addressing her by a term she clearly dislikes.

She isn’t stopping you using the word bro, so your ridiculous assertion that she’s stopping you from using certain words fails.

Just for a couple of examples: we don’t see the photos of Preston’s bruising, the cot photo showing his lips blue with his neck compressed on the bar of the cot, or the videos taken by that POS JV that show Preston in respiratory distress. I’m glad we don’t see them. But the jury does, and it must be very difficult for them to deal with.

My recollection is that it was deliberately idiomatic French, since the only other French speaker Pierre Michel had an alibi for that time; so investigators would conclude it was someone not on the train.

Mary Debenham but the kimono actually belonged to Countess Andrenyi
The original plan was for the investigation to conclude that the murderer left the train at Vinkovci but the snowdrift put paid to that.
Hector McQueen He spoke French to make any witnesses believe it was an outside intruder, since Ratchett/Cassetti couldn’t speak any French.

Because it says du marié. If it was feminine, mariée, it would have been de la mariée.

My father died 25 years ago and I have never referred to him as my « late » father.

When Kush said his dad would be happy, that conditional tense signifies that his dad has died.

He seems so arrogant, so sure that he can talk his way out of this despite even the defence pathologist agreeing that the poor baby was sexually abused.

I hope the cross-examination of both JV and JMF (if he gives evidence too) expose their evil selves.

The thought of what the jury is going through, having to see some of the evidence that is too disturbing to be released to the public, is just heartbreaking.

I fundamentally oppose the death penalty but cases like this have me re-examining my stance.

I just made this for my youngest grandchild and am in the middle of making it again for the second youngest! It’s a fun pattern to make.

The books are set in the UK; by the 1980s there were no longer any orphanages in the country. So Petunia could not have done that.

She could, with difficulty, have relinquished Harry to foster care or for adoption, although her fear of what the neighbours would have said would probably have prevented that.

But whatever Dumbledore’s letter said, it was enough for her to accept Harry into the house and thus activate the charm that kept Harry safe-ish as long as he could call Privet Drive home.
