Well they are just fluffybunnies. But then again you’ve already said vegans. Forgive my tautology.

This. We sponsor a couple of cats (and dogs) at a local Rescue Centre and been told it causes serious problems, particularly with house cats. Cats are carnivores - they eat rodents as it's good for them. They eat grass when they are ill, you ignorant fluffybunnies

Checks thread, yep Grumpy Old Man, speaking of dogs, most of Australia's insistence on allowing dogs anywhere including where I eat my meals. This is fresh in my mind as the other day I was in Double Bay and the local council by-laws specifically ban dogs from inside cafes and restaurants, so I was quite pleased to see that. If I won lotto this week I'd move into a small one bedroom in the suburb.
A dog is a dog, not one of your bloody kids. I don't need it sniffing on me while I'm trying to eat my bacon.

@Nepia I don't like people with toy dogs who take them everywhere. The sort of people who insist on taking their pathetic pooches to Bunnings. The whole concept of permitting dogs in there was to enable tradies to not have dogs outside in the heat.

This could go in the Politics thread but I suspect it's the same all over the Western world. Besides it's def. GOM material...
I help run the local Village Hall which is a registered charity with the aim of providing "space for sports, leisure and educatioinal activities in xxxx village". We have a turnover of c. £25k a year and it's run by 3 volenteers. Each year we do an online return to the government Charity Commission. This year, and I kid you not, we've been told to provide details and copies of the following policies:
- Internal charity financial controls policy and procedures
- Safeguarding policy and procedures
- Diversity and Diversity training policy and procedures
- Financial reserves policy and procedures
- Complaints policy and procedures
- Serious incident reporting policy and procedures
- Internal risk management policy and procedures
- Trustee expenses policy and procedures
- Trustee conflicts of interest policy and procedures
- Investing charity funds policy and procedures
- Campaigns and political activity policy and procedures

- Social media policy and procedures
- Engaging external speakers at charity events policy and procedures

You just can't make this shit up.

That would be against the Environmental policy.

And the fluffybunnies who want this shit don't even talk to each other.
Fire regulations say all doors must be able to opened from inside by kids even if locked - sensible and easy to regularly check. Safeguarding regulations say door must be unlockable from the inside if kids are in the premises so kids can't leave unaccompanied.
Go figure.

In our office once, we had the fire doors propped open with a fire extinguisher that had been taken off its mounting.

Ok, now I real grumpy!! I have the NZR plus app on android tv etc. But when I open it is says go to NZR plus tv login (gives web address) and put a code in theer. Well when I go to the aforemention address on computer, it takes me to same address and has nowhere for me to type in the code!!
Is this a thing by NZR to absolutely f*** me off and make sure I never enjoy their app, or am I just missing something? It also says you can scan in some thing they got on the screen, but I point my cmaera at screen and still no joy!!! -
Spent the day in Exeter. Now going to be stuck in Plymouth for hours while the Army gets rid of a WW2 bomb.
Where the fuck is Ethan Blackadder when the Army needs him?

Not sure which you are being grumpy about. Either works tbh.
