Things that make you go What the F**k?

You can never be sure:

Where was this? Nutters.

From the street sign it must be Dublin northside

This may be a chicken and egg thing.

Would you let someone video you, as you used a cash machine.

Russia has listed transsexual and transgender people among those who will no longer qualify for driving licences.

Fetishism, exhibitionism and voyeurism are also included as "mental disorders" now barring people from driving.

The government says it is tightening medical controls for drivers because Russia has too many road accidents.

"Pathological" gambling and compulsive stealing are also on the list. Russian psychiatrists and human rights lawyers have condemned the move.

The Financial Times on QE

"Better to risk skewing gains to the wealthy while keeping everyone afloat than to make a desolation and call it equality."
Like that was the only choice

On inequality

"Janet Yellen, the Fed chair, last week wandered well off her brief with a speech decrying inequality, though wisely refrained from promising that the Fed would do something about it. "

This is mad.

Not really. Clearly a head shot.

The impact with the pavement in front of the officer is gas from gunpowder burning. When the bullet exits the barrel, pressure behind it blows the gunshot residues out of the firearm's barrel under high speed. Victims shot at close range will show traces of this. Because the shooter was running the residue did not hit the officer's head. The bullet did unfortunately.
Another conspiracy theory based on crap analysis if you ask me.

Didn't seem to be much head trauma all the same, compared to JFK at least.

No. In the case of JFK the entry and exit wounds were close enough to blow off part of the cranium. Michael Collins also suffered massive injury but that is attributed to the round either being interfered with (a dum dum bullet) or a ricochet.

Water melons are often used to demonstrate the devastating effect of a round but a cranium does not behave like a melon.

From that range there would probably be an entry and exit wound.

I am beginning to see why you do so much running.

"Back in 2009, a company called Gain Capital, parent of Forex.com, issued an IPO prospectus. This revealed that total customer trading volume was growing at a compound annual rate of nearly 90 per cent, hitting $1.5tn in 2008. Gain's profitability, meanwhile, was growing even faster: net income ballooned from $7m in 2004 to $230m in 2008. And this was just one of dozens of retail forex operators.
Regulators in the US realised what was going on. These businesses were offering their so-called clients huge leverage. Typically, to trade $1m of any currency pair, the individual speculator would have to put up a cash margin of just $5,000 — leverage of 200/1. Gain and the other operators were then taking the other side of the trade. These were not clients at all: they were counterparties.

What is more, because of the levels of leverage and the inherent volatility in currency prices, Gain's customers were just about guaranteed to lose.

The National Futures Association in the US took immediate action. Brokers had to demonstrate that they had sizeable capital buffers and, more importantly, a 50/1 leverage cap on trades was imposed.
The industry howled, arguing that in the face of such regulation the business would move abroad, probably to London. But the rules were imposed. And guess what? The industry did move to London.
Of those 4m retail forex traders cited by Citi, just 150,000 are thought to live in the US. The rest are spread across Europe and Asia, where regulators have simply failed to check the growth of an industry that employs a hardwired system to shake down clients.
Leverage levels of up to 500/1 are typically on offer to customers in London. In Cyprus leverage can rise to 1000/1.
Trading on such terms blows the client up very quickly, which is why all these forex operators employ lavish sums on marketing, targeting motor racing and Premier League football in particular. If the clients are always losing money you need to replenish them with fresh clients.

theres always one, or two

Saturday night there, I was at a hooley when a few people from work walked in including one of the managers, about an hour later I see him groping the breasts of one of the girls in full view of the rest of the staff, he was working on the outside of the clothes. I was rightly on and anyway I told him to stop, he feckin kept going and I walked out.
I am meeting him in an hour to talk to him about it, he has no idea this conversation is going to take place but that was my latest what the fcuk moment.

I am supposed to sack him on the spot, this girl reports to him and everybody seen me there at the time and they even have video of it on their cellphones. If I say nothing and it gets out I will be sacked as well, the hoor has put in me in a bad spot.

If he has so much as an inkling, I bet his stomach is in knots!
Jesus I wouldnt envy either of you, but you certainly dont let yourself get the sack for someone elses mistakes.


What the Fcuk...

I have the aul Irish mentally drilled into me and that is  to say nothing. The only reason I am contemplating saying anything is that the staff have the whole thing on video with me telling the stupid fcuker to quit it. I dont know if I can take a chance and say nothing but if I dont he loses his livelyhood. I also have an obligation to my family and I am completely torn. Feck his stomach being in knots, mine are as well and I never get nervous about anything except Armagh matches. 

You need to get her involved as well and see what she thought of the whole situation. Document everything and report to your superior as he/she needs to be involved also. You need to follow your company guideline on sexual harassment if they have one if they don't they need one. If you do not handle it correctly you will lose all respect from the other other employees. Tough situation.

Just what I was about to say. You never know, maybe she was complicit? Assuming it was an unwanted bit of groping, you need to pull them both in separately. If I was you, I'd speak to the girl first to get her perspective then speak to the guy involved. You'd have a better idea of what her intentions are and it might help you decide how far you need to go with him.
I don't envy you your position though.

When I did my placement at university there was this guy (a nice enough lad from Armagh) who absolutely stank of BO. A big lad, sitting in an office environment who reeks did not go down too well with the ladies sitting nearby. A few complained and the manager had to take him aside and tell him he stank (she might have been a bit more tactful though). She was so embarrassed to have to do it, the guy probably was too. But to be fair, he sorted himself out. It's not in the same ballpark, but shows that sometimes a quiet word can be enough to resolve a difficult situation.
