Nice people thread part 4 - sugar and spice and all things

Having given my evidence, I was then allowed to sit in on the court and listen to the others evidence. The squatter/freeholder and the previous squatter/freeholder who had sold the plots, were pretty obviously lying through their teeth. The judge was not fooled but I felt he should have at least recalled the witnesses and given then a good "b0ll0cking" for perjury.
I'm afraid some people still have that 5 year old attitude of "it wasn't me I wasn't there" and going through a pantomime with a bible won't make any difference.

I believe there is still some haggling going on over how much and who pays what on total costs of 6 figures.

In a previous incarnation a number of years ago I was a criminal investigator. I found it mind boggling the rubbish lies that people would come out with in interview and in court. I used to go into interviews thinking that the evidence was so strong that they could only no comment or admit to everything and coming out in depressed disbelief at the nonsense answers I sat through. "I don't remember, I wasn't there, it was a long time ago" being the most common answers of course.

It was a bit like watching those programs on tv about the immigration service when they catch an illegal immigrant who then claims that they can't remember their date of birth, name or what country they came to the uk from.

Any more details for those who haven't and won't see the show.

I didn't want to be too political, but it was about the Lawrence case. It was behind the scenes with Doreen Lawrence and how she has managed as the case came to trial. Because this is the NP thread and other threads on subject have turned nasty, I was trying to be obscure, while showing my opinion if that makes sense.

Already have in place the ear muffs and blind fold to avoid the mindless spin when the olympics start.

Twenty twelve???? Surely two thousand and twelve follows on from two thousand and eleven.

I didn't get one. I couldn't work out the highlight text to see answers either. I highlighted and couldn't see them. What was I doing wrong?

Ah fc, you didn't get one because the Dewey codes on fashion weren't specific enough, in hindsight I could have used dressmaking, but then that wouldn't be a code to suggest you did it commercially. If I'd have gone for one on clothes, that could also be a plethora of other nice people.

Random question. Listening on the news about power cuts in Scotland and wondered if those with solar panels can use them in a power cut. I would guess that it should be possible, but then wondered how that works. If you are generating your own power, you should be able to use it, but what happens when its cloudy? If the power input is low, does your washing machine spin slowly, your lights dim etc?

and do you still get the FITs?

No right or wrong but I think the 20 12 will win out. Just think of the last century and it was always 19 something

Good question. LydiaJ is hot on this and she will know

Oh dear. Fine tooth comb day today. We went through the defence letter from my old lot and it really is riddled with lies. E-mailed my solicitor and talking tomorrow on the blower. Feel deflated and defeated. How can you defend a blatant lie? I see no way. Sometimes I wonder what laws are about? Mind you, what did I expect? The company often lied to suit themselves, why should they not lie on oath? Will let you know the outcome.

Well here we are with it pouring down, darn long dark days. On a brighter note I am not inflicted with Simply Come Dancing, or what ever it`s called at dinner. Already have in place the ear muffs and blind fold to avoid the mindless spin when the olympics start. Silver Jubilee, let them eat cake methinks.

Having never been on benefits, I really find that not my way in life. Yet what can you do apart from being grateful.

Poor Mrs. P is really in pain with her back. At long last has made an appointment with the Doc. Took mucho persuading but got there in the end. Poor lass had one of her " clients " she cares for verbally insulting her for no reason so floods of tears there. Nearly fell over as her company actually responded and complained to the said person.

Spoke to sis in law tonight, the one we are buying with. Coward of the County, opps ex hubby has still not had the guts to drag himself away from the younger bit. He might be a 95th Dan in self defence but to me is lower than a snakes belly in a rut. Her DD is moving in with her boyfriend. I like him and so she should but this is placing even more strain on the pennies. We do have decent savings and happy to not watch her get into debt.

Blinking heck well ranty here but at least with my MSE family I know I can do it and I thank the Lord for that.

Now on a brighter note, are house prices going up or down?

When I had a to do with a previous employer, for months I experienced massive swings from huge highs (we've got 'em here, they can't defend this) to deep troughy lows (how can they lie to me like that? How can they not see what they're doing breaches employment law?)

It is difficult mate, but you'll get through in the long run. When it is over, you'll be able to celebrate.

I was amazed at the impact it had on me. Worse, I was still working there at the time. The impact was huge.

But there are positives, I re-appraised my view of how I see & relate to friends, family etc. Ever since, I've made a lot more effort to spend quality time with such people, & have done things like going away with friends for 2-3 days for breaks through the year. I moved to a less stressful job, and wouldn't trade the higher pay I used to get for all that stress & the lack of happy time with friends & family, doing things I love!:)

As an innocent, I've always wondered how one would prove one were innocent. e.g. where was I last Thursday? .... I have absolutely no idea. How on earth do people remember what they were doing/when/where????

Well you managed that .... I thought you meant you'd watched the programme and had some more programmes to watch that evening.

If you had Sky you could set the planner to record for you or to remind you when a programme is on. You could also use "series link" one button to press and the whole series is recorded.

Whoosh.
I've never even seen Sky.
