This has started happening a lot more now. Cyclists get so little space on the road, but then to be faced with a jogger taking up that space, usually with headphones in so wistfully unaware of their surroundings. This also extends to joggers running on the road. It’s just not safe and pretty annoying.

Today cycling over London Bridge during rush hour, a jogger is taking up the entire cycle lane. I asked him calmly to join the pavement to which he responds “oh go away you disgusting wh***”. Nice.

Seems to be a very good turnout for a funeral this afternoon. Sorry to discuss what must be a personal matter to many but seemed to be a very popular person and wondered who it was.

It's a field jacket with the below label but I'm struggling to find the jacket online at all to see what the liner should look like, and so many of the liners are listed as gilets on 2nd hand sites making the search harder.

It's a 7 stud snap-in system. 3 each side and 1 on collar

i.e. syrup whereas sugar in other forms consumed in the fermentation would not?

Does this mean Cruzcampo has more added at the end?

Also confusingly it's no longer listed as an ingredient on their website while I've definitely seen it on the can, as verified by an Internet search. What has changed. The process or labelling requirements?

I note they also state it's not suitable for vegetarians due to other ingredients in the factory.

Sorry I don't normally drink this piss but was handed a can and was curious about the weird ingredients and taste.

I don't know whether is just the polarisation that is pushed by social media but it seems that anti Israeli/ Jewish sentiment is so ingrained in the left that it is unavoidable in any cosmopolitan city, while moving away from such places you are potentially faced with a population that doesn't care about Palestine because they don't care about anyone who isn't white and British, and often that won't include British Jews.

I've only ever lived in London but would worry about escaping to somewhere where the hate is just from the other side of the political spectrum.

Frankly though, I feel the supposed open-mindedness of these cities largely serves to protect minority groups from criticism, and as long as I found somewhere people weren't antisemitic, I would not really suffer from the reduced multiculturalism.

The warning was issued by UK Prime Minister after a family drowned in the sea.

Sorry to be harsh here but does this warning grate on anyone else?

In the UK, the latest complete figures show 202 accidental drownings or water-related deaths in 2025. 32% were of people doing everyday activities such as walking or running who were likely to have entered the water unintentionally.

31% of adults in England cannot swim the length of a 25m pool.

Meanwhile at lakes and reservoirs we're told it's cold water shock that will kill even strong swimmers, and entering virtually any open body of water withoutlifeguards is vehemently discouraged.

Obviously different places have different very real hazards but surely the biggest is not being able to swim.

Looking at Spotify playlists from the series compiled by fans, there's nothing even remotely close.

That could just mean that they can't find the track in question on Spotify, which is quite likely for a white label release from that era, but I could have imagined it

Any ideas?

Further to an embarrassing incident where my presence on the police computer was disclosed to a family member after my prints were naturally found in my former home, I began the process of having my data deleted.

To initiate this I had to include the details of the arrest, which I needed to retrieve through a subject access request as I could not remember dates and specific charges from a decade ago.

Reviewing the results of the SRA, I noticed that the data held on the Police National Computer petaining to my fingerprints reads: 'DESTRUCTION 01FP XX/XX/XXXX (Date of arrest, while the line on DNA shows 'DESTROYED'.

The date at which it was determined that no further action was to be taken in the case was around 6 months after arrest, and the PNC record shows as last updated around a year after that.

Sorry if Police are exempt from GDPR but I asked on the Police sub, simply for clarification on the line relating to my prints, which apparently means 'marked for deletion'. When I asked for elaboration on whether that meant they should have already been deleted, my thread was deleted as an 'individual complaint', which it wasn't, but may well become.

So 2 questions really.

Should prints and DNA both have been deleted by default after NFA per data regs?

Can the police disclose my presence on the database to 3rd parties i.e. was this a data breach?

Thanks

On PNC, the line pertaining to my fingerprints reads: 'DESTRUCTION 01FP XX/XX/XXXX (Date of arrest)

While DNA shows DESTROYED.

NFA date was around 6 months after arrest date, and PNC record shows as last updated a year after that.

All these dates were over a decade ago.

Thanks

Back in the day you used to get physical tokens but now they are all on apps

There are various arguments around the environmental/ cost/ convenience benefit to this but the downside is losing your smartphones, or not having one, and the distraction of having to pick up your phone to log into work apps.

Previously (at another employer after I'd lost my phone) I was able to authenticate via a phone call which is actually more convenient than it sounds. You simply have to answer the call and press a number on the (dumb)phone keypad to confirm you're trying to log in. But I've not seen this since.

Has anyone been able to request physical tokens or alternative methods?

I'm not that fussed about having to use my phone but it seems like things are changing where for example people are increasingly avoiding smartphones and they're started to get banned in schools so it seems so I wonder whether employers would eventually have to rethink making you use a personal device, and moreover a smartphone you may be wishing to avoid.

There's a car that's always in my car park with its front plate on the dashboard and not on the front bumper. As I was walking past and happened to look at the front mounting out of curiosity to see how it had fallen off I noticed there were velcro strips. Guessing this is to avoid the private parking enforcement ANPR cameras I presume they flip the plate on the dash over) but surely they would know the drivers is doing something dodgy by only ever exiting and could identify the entering vehicle as the same as the exiting one by other means.

There were times it wouldn't recognise me like when I had a fan or TV/ podcasts in the background but now it's telling me it can't access personal data 25% of the time

Even if my voice had changed I've redone voice Match. What's going on?
