The driver was obviously desperate to make use of the public loo, close to the Asda store in Waterlooville.

More Stupid Than An Amoeba

In what universe do you have to live for this kind of behaviour to be acceptable ?
ARREST MADE AFTER LASER DEVICE TARGETED AT POLICE HELICOPTER
Hampshire and IoW News
A suspect has this afternoon been arrested from an address in Portswood after the Police helicopter was targeted by a green laser device.
Police were alerted by Air Support who had been assisting in the city following a vehicle failing to stop.
Police attended the address where the laser had been targeted from and a suspect was arrested under the Laser Misuse Act 2018.
A laser device was also seized.
This carries a 12 month prison sentence if found guilty of the offence. 44240053135
I would hazard a guess that the perpetrator has one less brain cell that an amoeba.
I’ve Got My Order In
The Austrian-based company Migaloo is offering a 541-foot-long “private submersible superyacht” for a base price of $2 billion. The M5 has a range of 9,300 miles and can take its passengers to a depth of 820 feet. The luxury submarine includes a helipad, two swimming pools, a Jacuzzi, and two midget subs. There have been no orders for the M5 yet.
I’ve got my order in, have you ?
Gambling
The number of people seeking help for gambling problems reached record levels in 2023 – with more people calling a national helpline than ever before.
For the life of me, I have never understood why gambling is broadcast on TV late at night, and also, why are betting sites allowed to advertise on TV?
Dr David McLaughlan, a priory consultant psychiatrist specialising in addictions, said gambling is a particularly challenging addiction to treat – “Because of the access to gambling platforms of peoples’ phones”.
He said: “With my patients who are addicted to alcohol, I can suggest that they avoid drinking venues or remove alcohol from their house. However, when the temptation is constantly present, on your phone, in your pocket, it’s much harder to resist.”
The government systematically banned all forms of tobacco advertising and sponsorship. So why not ban advertising of the various betting sites and apps.
The effects of gambling on individuals, their partners, and their families and friends can be every bit as devastating as smoking and the associated cancers.
The following was published in The Guardian …
It has long been known that gambling is addictive so common sense would have shown the risks.
It’s time our government woke up and took positive action.
I suspect the reality of their reluctance is that they can’t afford to cut off another lucrative tax revenue stream.
Hampshire Police Crush e-Scooters
Brilliant.
The police now have the powers but they seem to be discretionary.
It is illegal to use these things on public roads. Surely, there should be no discretion. Confiscation and scrappage should be automatic.
However, this is a step in the right direction.
A Sad Day
Today, we attended the funeral for Dave, the father of my grandsons Danny and Ollie.
On 27th December 2023, Dave succumbed to the cancer, which had made him so ill.
Dave was well liked, and this was reflected in the number of friends, family, and colleagues that attended. It was standing room only in the chapel.
RIP Dave, gone but never forgotten.

Sky Park Farm
Today, we spent a glorious few hours with our granddaughter and great grandson at Sky Park Farm
While it is a working deer farm, it is also a great place to visit to keep the kids entertained.
Providing easy walks and opportunities to feed the various species of deer.
Also on site is a farm shop and restaurant along with a huge play area for kids.
We did the obligatory walk and fed the deer before heading inside for a spot of lunch.
Finally, once our tummys had been satisfied, we headed to the play area so that my great grandson could run off what energy he had left.
Such was the effects of all that walking, playing, and fresh air on arrival at home, Junior took himself off to his bed.
Sky Park Farm is a lovely place to visit, and we will return.
Friday Wisdom – Insurance
This was too good not to steal.
I had to talk to an insurance agent today. Nothing serious, but apparently you have to actually pay them for the policy to be in effect. Who knew? Anyway here’s everything else I know about insurance: The manager at the insurance office told all his employees, “You’ve worked really hard this year and as a reward I’m giving […]

Little Shits
https://app.portsmouth.co.uk/full_page_image/page-4-2012/content.html
What pleasure do these little shits get from terrorising an old lady ? Did she have the temerity to speak to them about their behaviour, making herself a target.
Do they feel brave ? Obviously not, since they are launching their missiles from the cover of a wall.
Where are their parents ? Do they know what their little darlings are up to?
And let’s stop claiming that the police aren’t doing anything. The few police that we have cannot be everywhere at once, and at the first sign of a police uniform, the perpetrators will scarper. Someone out there knows who they are, turn them over to the police.
Shame on those that have no respect for the elderly.
