Really busy at work at the moment, so much so that they've agreed for me to work on a project at home in the evenings for overtime. Looks like this will be ongoing for some time.

Yeah, we're aware of that, ta. Think they're just going to bite the bullet and let me go on the date mentioned.

There's a business case for us taking on a junior designer (something I bring up regularly when I'm due to go on holidays etc), hopefully this situation will add more weight.

So is the issue him killing the bird or killing the bird when it was in the garden next door?

EDIT: Think the issue was he was a twat with the Police so they prosecuted him under some little-used law ( at least for pigeons)

I looked this up you can kill a large array of wildlife in your garden using a "general license" you don't need to apply for this just follow the guidelines.

This is what you can dispatch ...


Quote:

General licences
You can use a general licence to kill or capture certain wild birds (including removing or destroying their eggs and nests) to:

prevent the spread of disease
stop serious damage to livestock, food, crops, growing timber, fisheries or inland water
preserve public health and safety
conserve other wild birds
A general licence is for killing or capturing these wild birds:

feral pigeon
crow
collared dove
lesser black-backed gull
jackdaw
jay
magpie
rook
woodpigeon
Canada goose
monk parakeet
ring-necked parakeet
Egyptian goose

If the bird was not in his garden and he shot it with an air rifle, he's lucky he's not gone to prison for 5 years. Firing outside of his boundary, or within 15 metres of the centre of a public highway, would be treated as a firearms offence (even though it's an airgun) and is strict liability - no defense. Punishable by 5 years in prison (minimum).

I can only find a photo, is there supposed to be a video?

I had a look on Google Videos and found myself on a channel of some twat who was filming himself in his living room.

He couldn't describe who Dove was or what they sold but got straight into the fact everything was racist.

I suspect that 16900 of the 17000 views he had were people like me searching for some info and context :)

I didn't think (what I saw) was offensive, not sure if there was more to follow that may have given more context?

Did read Dove had run a positive campaign for some 13 years called Real Beauty

Quote:
"Real Beauty" ads have long centred around rejecting standard, racially insular notions of beauty while vowing to feature "real women of different ages, sizes, ethnicities, hair color, type or style."

I thought I remembered a similarly stupid decision a while back but couldn’t remember what it was. Oddly, I don’t think I’d seen that second one. The thing is, the ad is wholesome in its intention. If they’d had the women standing in a different order, it would likely have been received well. They need to take an extra step in their thinking. I don’t think there is an ounce of maliciousness in it and I think it’s a shame they’ve missed the mark in such a stupid way if it means that it undoes the actual good body positive work they’ve worked on as a brand.

I don’t know. Maybe they did think it through and thought that the white woman in the tshirt ad changing to a darker skinned woman blanaced the earlier change from dark skin to light, all beautiful. It does, really, in its best meaning form, but it can’t in a world that’s so unbalanced and growing ever more concious of that fact.

This morning I was right by my front door about to leave the house. I was just putting my shoes on when there was a knock at the door.

By the time I’d reached to put the key in the door to open it, the guy who knocked was at the end of drive about to get back in his van. He had a couple of deliveries for us and was ready to chuck them back on the passenger seat. It must have took me all of 4, maybe 5 seconds to stand up and get the key in to open the door.

It was a Hermes driver and I’d always heard that they do this sort of thing but never experienced it myself. Amazing.

He also had a tattoo on his hand that said “Dad”. I could decide whether he loved his father dearly or thought very highly of his own parenting skills.

Work are pretty good about personal deliveries, we have a Postroom and they send you an email when stuff arrives

The only time they get a bit pushy is over Xmas, even then they just send a email around asking people to collect stuff as quickly as possible

The odd time I send stuff from Amazon home, they are pretty good always leave with one of the houses next door, that does work both ways though :)

As I have quite a few parcels delivered lately, here's my current list -

That said, DPD annoyed me yesterday. They send texts with the time window they'll be arriving in, which is normally helpful. Yesterday they missed this time then sent a follow-up text which presumably should have had the new times in but just repeated the same ones instead.. So I gave up and went out and they turned up while I was gone. Hmph.

I can't do that in my current work unfortunately because security. Technically that was true in my last job as well but the mailroom staff cheerfully didn't give a fuck. In fact one time I got something delivered there from the US and they even paid the custom charges for me. Your tax dollars at work!
