As always, see The Secret Barrister for details.

Whilst he does give a fair bit of context at no point does he say or imply "that's pretty standard for stabbing someone for the first time".


The suspended sentence part is absolutely standard for the type of offence she committed, even if it the offence was major for that type. If there was little actual harm caused then it'd be hard to not give one.

I think the only contentious part is the deferred sentencing. Hard to glean the exact details of the case, but it seems reasonable enough to me.

Aiiiiiiii

Singapore is just as mental as I remember it being. And hot. So very, very hot. BUT, loads of model shops, so some Gunpla models will be coming back with me. The MRT is just amazeballs - so cheap, not too busy, and airconditioned. And my Singapore oystercard thing has a picture of a cute Batman on it.

We've had a very emotional week so far, not helped by either of us not sleeping more than 2 hours each of the first two nights (stupid jet lag). We've seen all the schools we need to see, and put in the school application for our first choice today... Tomorrow we're going to have a look around some houses and condos to get an idea of what's available in our price range in the areas we're looking at. I'm told there are loads of dogs in Singapore, but I've seen like 6 or something, most of which were in the Botanical Gardens (where I saw a massive fuck off lizard swimming in the lake - mini Gojira!) I am wondering whether Nelly will cope with life here (and if we'd cope with having her here) but we've got a few months to make our minds up.

Aiiiiii.

Yes! Lovely, it is, too.

We were doing the Gruffalo trail, and had found the mouse, then, Quaver thought she saw the Gruffalo in the trees, screamed and sobbed uncontrollably and lost power of speech. Minim ate a banana.

Man, this thread moves fast.

Mr Chris should have his own Singapore thread.

Chris: what do the kids think about the move to Singapore?

Just above where we hold our annual camping meet ups, so now you already know how to get there! Speaking of what we need to arrange something for this year.

I'm guessing there wouldn't be room for illegal street quad racing either.

Somebody mentioned in a comment about knitted jumpers the trails of planes in the sky. Another commenter then mentioned something about the 'drippy' texture not being g normal and that it was a 'chemtrail' rather than vapour. A third person said something about conspiracy theorists so not understanding what the heck people were talking g about I fell down the Google rabbit hole. Man, there are some nutty people about.

Oh yes, chemtrails are hilarious. I have a colleague who is a PhD chemist who believes in them having seen some footage where "a plane forgot to switch off the chemtrail generator when it landed and you could see it being pumped out." Idiot.

Russ, they are at home with their grandparents at the moment, but in general they're being very positive about the whole thing. Think they will love it here... The school in particular will be great , within a few weeks of arriving they'll be on a school trip to a rainforest :)

This may be a long shot, but does anyone have a wii fit board in decent condition they are looking to sell? There are a few available on eBay, but many listed as untested, or looking a bit shonky, and not saying if they are official or third party. Also, risky business of strangers sweaty feet, and I'd much rather the sweaty feet of nerds I know and love, so thought I'd ask here first.

Now you ask, I am thinking about it. Having a general clear out, and that is one more thing I have and maybe don't need to add to things I store when I go away. Let me ponder it overnight - if anyone else gets there in the meantime, I won't be stroppy.
