Is this what we have become

I went out for a quiet Sunday lunch today, and bought a newspaper to linger over, as you do, only to read a very sad story about a beloved family pet that has been put down after yobs fed cannabis to it. The drug caused the animal to have repeated seizures, which left it blind and deaf.

 What kind of sick society have we become. Its stories like this which persuade me that sometimes animals are more deserving of compassion than people.

 Stringing the perpetrators up by their nuts is too good for them.

Police overtime - I'm in the wrong job as usual

Police officers are able to double their salary by working 60 or 70 hours a week. I do understand they do a difficult job at times but I wish I had the same capability to influence my salary. I usually pass the 40 hour mark sometime on Wednesday or Thursday.

 And you have to ask: is it safe? The worst I could do is grump at someone in an email. These guys could get themselves killed.
