What have you learnt today?

I biked from home into the Highfields today and I learnt never to get into a 'race' type situation with another bloke on a bike.

What started out as a leisurely, slow paced ride, ended up in a mad pelt down the length of Aylestone Road cos no way was I gonna let the sod beat me.

I finally got off my bike in Nelson Mandela Park to have a breather and suffered with jelly legs.

Ha,I get drawn into that one also,I was once on a leisurely ride in the summer,but unfortunately there was a time trial evening with cyclists/Lycra I was blowing out of my arse whilst they cruised past me one by one,I stopped at the top of a hill( in the fens) when one of them asked if I was alright!Told him tongue in cheek that I had lapped a few of his mates and deserved a breather.

Fortunately the bloke I was racing was on this crappy little bike and he was fatter than me!

So I won!

I learnt a valuable life lesson today that I feel I would have learnt earlier on in life, had I gone to university. I have just had the misfortune of consuming my first and last Pot Noodle. It was vile. How can something be simultaneously tasteless AND disgusting?

Depends what flavour. The Chicken and Mushroom ain't bad, but the other flavours I've tried are horrible.

I've learnt today that the Police will do anything for a day off.

Curry flavour, well that's what it said on the pot anyway.

Twat

Only in the Police could you get a paid day off to go to the funeral of 2 people you never even knew existed that lived on the other side of the country.

Bloody hell fire,I'm fairly tolerant and laid back but what a twatish thing to say,surely you are aware of the public outcry and heartless way our serving officers,who are here to protect us were killed in cold blood.Or are you writing it for attention.

I am of the opinion that Police Officers are no more important than anybody else in society. A murder is a murder. Police officers aren't a special case. There are plenty of people out there who work just as hard if not harder than your standard cop.

Public grief is never something I understood. When I heard the news of the shooting I had a moment to think about how sad it was, then got on with my day and pretty much forgot about it until I saw it again on the news. It didn't make any difference to me that they were police. In fact, the case of the little Welsh girl going missing upset me more.

I think it's unjustifiable that police up and down the country got time off to go to the funerals. Fair enough if they worked with the 2 women.

Imagine if somebody went into a Tesco in Manchester and shot a shelf stacker... would Tesco workers up and down the country go up and visit their funerals? Of course not.

I'm not writing it.

Two men died in one of our wet wells several years ago and the entire workforce didn't get the day off (not that it is possible).

However I wouldn't put what he said it in such forthright language. It's a gesture of solidarity for the rest of the police force to say that their sacrifice (if it happens) will also be remembered.

Maybe the rest of the police force have empathy and realise that it could have been any one of them that answer a call like that and under those circumstances need to show solidarity.

I'm guessing your average Tesco shelf stacker does live day to day with the fear in the back of their mind that today could be the day they meet a nutter with a gun. I'm guessing your average frontline police officer has a slightly higher chance of that occurrence cropping up.

Are other regiments that take part in processions at Wootton Bassett having a lazy day, mooching around, watching a wooden box they didn't know the contents of?

You really are a massive ****tard.

I think you'll find that the majority of the police who travelled from other areas went there on their days off to cover shifts of officers attending the funerals. I've no doubt that SOME went to pay their respects and, as they work a similar system to my organisation, any dropped shifts have to be paid back at a later date.

You're 19, clearly inexperienced in this world and have a lot of growing up to do.

In regards to the comments about the police.

I think I can see the point your trying to make,which i personally dont agree with, but you have gone about it all wrong my friend. Entitled to your opinion as always and those throwing expletives won't change your mind but a constructive argument would've at least been met with acceptance that it was your opinion but putting it as 'police doing anything for a day off' is insensitive and not on in my book.

I think we should leave it at that now though as I can see a huge debate ruining another thread.

That Phil Jagielka is now apparently known as Yagyelka, who knew?

Who the **** is it on MOTD that pronounces it like that? It's been getting on my wick for the last couple of years.
