Totally agree. Mikey Cycling is a fucking wanker.

Needed the hint for today’s.

Yep. The insecurity is real.

If it happened in Magaluf, he’d be given free shots at Carwash all week.

But would you report them to UK police?

Exactly. I’m getting way too invested, but I can’t get over how evil an act it was to contact Dubai authorities.

Yeh the whole thing stinks of “I don’t want you hanging out with that boy!”.

Contacting Dubai police, once back in the UK and him still there, is fucking cowardly, deliberate and desperately unkind.

I think the key is the mum wasn’t cool with it. And what better way, to make sure your daughter doesn’t end up with someone you don’t like, than getting that someone locked up in a Dubai nick.

We’re on the same page.

This lad needed telling “look you fucked up back there, just be careful in future eh” and nothing more.

My take is that it was unnecessary for the mum to report it, given the facts we have.

Exactly my thoughts.

Same. When I practice gratitude, it's part of my mantra that I am not in Dubai. Hellish laws, poor Human Rights record, wall to wall with influencer types.

Anyway, I digress... I can't help thinking there was probably a little bit (a lot?) of "I'll show him!" by the obviously disgruntled mum.

UK 18yr old man has relationship with UK 17yr old girl while in Dubai (where age of consent is 18).

Girl's mum finds out when they get back to the UK, takes umbrage, reports it to Dubai police and the man is detained (still).

Is it me, or does it feel unnecessarily spiteful to go to Dubai police with this a. knowing that no laws were broken according to UK legislation; and b. reporting someone for a sex offence in Dubai will only end in a handful of bad ways.

Maybe I'm too liberal... !?

This is a brilliant discount!

Won’t be watching a single minute. Especially if it’s mid-season.

I completely agree, but we don't ask the public to pay for those.

Winter tournament as well, by the looks of things.

The whole thing can, once more, FRO.

I've been delivering public infrastructure for the past 20-odd years. I have lots of examples. Unfortunately.

Way too many, IMO.

That's an unfair response, I feel. @TooTallTim is just pointing out that there's a lot of poor / wasteful spending of public funds, as things stand.

Feels like Colnago needs to be separated into pre- and post-2020.

Likewise for Pinarello: pre- and post-2010.

I nabbed a mince pie from the sweet offerings at a meeting yesterday. I'm pretty certain it was from Pret.

It was excellent. Buttery pastry, generous filling with whole fruit.

Such sad news. :(

Only half!?

No real policy has been communicated - thinking what one might seek help on, I envisage the queries being sufficiently general to not pose confidentiality risks. But you never know.

My concern was from a developmental point of view - the best in our team are the true critical thinkers; CnPing ChatGPT answers (which are often wrong, tbh) is not a good way to develop critical thinking skills.

Our professional bodies all vehemently warn against its use.
