hk blues Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 2 minutes ago, Boo Khaki said: Yes on the face of it it appears like there should be a logical explanation. Typical scenario would be a wedding party, a couple of unrelated guests, hotel staff and owners. You can understand that the police might have gotten photos on arrival of the guests, but why do they also have photos of the indigenous staff and owners, especially when they were quite clearly taken at the exact same time with the exact same equipment, in the exact same location, before any murder, etc? I accept I'm totally over thinking it, but I'm a pedant, and it used to annoy f**k out of me because of the sheer ridiculousness of it. That's the price you pay for watching "Death in Paradise"! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usual excuse of 'It means I get where I'm going on time'. The fact that people who weren't aware of this bizarre habit never actually knew what the accurate time was in my parents' house was never given a moments thought. Always looked totally nonplussed when I pointed out that he could just set the time on every household clock to the actual fucking time and set off 15 minutes early and achieve the same result without confusing the life out of everybody else... but no... I'm convinced he genuinely believed that he 'saved' time by just looking at the clock and allowing himself to be deceived. I remember he gave me a lift to the station once. I got in the car, looked at the dash, and yup, 15 minutes fast. In the car... Honourable mention to the current Mrs Khaki, who sets her phone an utterly baffling 22 minutes fast so she 'doesn't sleep in in the morning' ??? She also sets alarms for seemingly totally random times. 7:47am being one example. 8:18am another. Oh, and all this results in is her repeatedly hammering the snooze button because she knows the clock is fast, so she sleeps in and ends up running around like a demented version of 'It's a Knockout!' anyway. 12 minutes ago, Boo Khaki said: One of the myriad reasons I'm no longer married.

To be crystal clear, I've got absolutely no objection to footballers choosing to make that gesture when football resumed in the aftermath of the George Floyd killing or indeed individual players who choose to do so now. I'm generally sceptical of league authorities making blanket gestures on any issue though and just bewildered as to why it is going on in Scottish football, in a brand new season that only began a few weeks ago. Are we going to keep doing it all season every year until all racial injustice has been magically resolved? I very much doubt that the campaigners in Portland or Atlanta are on tenterhooks waiting for yet another 'show of solidarity' from the Hamilton squad on Sportscene either. It's a totally empty gesture that achieves no other purpose than shaving an extra 15 seconds off the highlights of some particularly dung game. Get it in the bin. PFA are behind it I believe - the same PFA that did nothing when one of their members were abused by fellow members over mental health. They love an empty gesture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once worked with a young fella who said something along the lines of, "See when yous were wee boys, in the summer when your arse was sweaty did you used to wipe it on the arm of the couch like this?" And he then straddled the arm of the chair in the showroom and mimicked scrubbing his sheuch along it. Naw wee man. We never!

I concluded that whichever Caribbean Island the series was set on must have a formal policy of pulling arrivals aside at the airport and subjecting them to a photoshoot just in case they happened to become the victim in a murder mystery during their stay. What I don't get about Death in Paradise is that it's set on a French colonial island yet the main police officer is always British (or Irish).

Indeed. It's also a good shout for tourism murder capital of the world, yet still there's an endless stream of eager, middle-class English victims arriving every day of the week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
