Mrs Bogus had to run into town to get some medication. I drove her in, and waited for her on the double yellows behind Tesco (outside the school clothes shop). Saw a parking attendant who looked like he was writing my reg number down, so drove round the block and pulled up again when I thought he’d gone. He turned up again, started doing the same so i drove off again
Am I likely to be getting a fine through the door In a few days? Never really had much experience of this - didn’t see him taking any photos, which I would have thought he would have done. I was in the car at all times, though I guess that probably doesn’t matter

Would also add that I accept I’m in the wrong, just asking if it sounds like I was properly caught or not. And mrs bogus medication hadn’t even been delivered  |

I have coke, E, booze and have been invited to a party.
But, I'm sick, so I'll be having a quiet one at home instead and likely going to bed early. Happy new fucking year everybody.

Bogus - they can send it to you, but only if they've issued it and then you drive off. I reckon he was probably just noting you with a view to ticket you if it persisted.
no way of knowing for 100% sure

looks like I got away with a very stupid and accidental 70 in a 50. missed a turning and in the panic missed the 70->50 change.

You would have thought they could at least spell Midnight correctly!
Agreed. But when the world is on fire would that be worth worrying about? |

Government contractors/employees
Had to go an have my fingerprints taken today as part of the Green Card process, which are then sent to the FBI for a criminal records check. First, after putting UK down on the country of citizenship section I was given a lecture on how this refers to the Ukraine and I'd cause all manner of problems if they'd simply have taken my writing and entered it. Next she starts having a go at me for resisting the finger prints or it's my fault for having sweaty hands (which I tend to have) and it's not her fault if I have to come back a second time (on checking after, as this had me worried, it's pretty common and if they have concerns an ink version should be taken or another individual should try).
A proper Carol Beer, but so has everyone else been I have had to engage with in the Gov so far. On the streets I do just fine, because I sound like those lovely British actors they see in films and I'm the right skin tone (have had people tell me I am not an Immigrant, not one of "those"), but it really is sometimes like having jumped into the fire from a frying pan having moved over from the UK, I mean GBR.

I see this has reared it head again https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-50969168 As per last time isn't the point rather being missed and glossed over here the League Against Cruel Sports investing its pension funds in firms involved in animal testing. |

yeah, that's unethical but hardly a legal issue.
this guy however....

TBF the legal issue arises because when he pointed out they were behaving unethically, they sacked him. That is a legal issue |

Caroline Barker. I can't put my finger on what it is but as a regular listener of the Totally Football League podcast (with our very own Sam Parkin) listening to her really winds me up!

He sounds like a fucking nob, but without people like this nothing would ever change. Fair play to him, I say. His goal seems noble enough and we don't have to agree with him to defend his beliefs. |
