Couldn't agree more - no blame should be apportioned to the girl- regardless of guilty or innocent she was taken advantage of at least and raped at worst. Getting hammered isn't a crime punishable by predators.

As I said in my last comment there are aspects which leave doubt in my mind, the lack of alcohol in her system despite the amnesia is odd.  For her to have been unconscious as a result of alcohol at 4 am to the point of being entirely alcohol free by 12 suggests she either has a very low tolerance for alcohol or was only as drunk as she said - tipsy.  If she had 6 pints at midnight there would be alcohol in her system until 5 pm. The most she can have had was 4 pints for her to be clear by twelve.  I have never met anyone who was unconscious after 4 pints. This issue was disregarded in the trial and evidence from a specialist wasn't considered at the appeal.  The whole thing revolves around how drunk she was.  Disinhibited and 'enthusiastic' as claimed by the defense or unconscious as claimed by the prosecution. Regardless of my doubts he has had his day in court and whilst the legal battle continues he isn't going to be cleared any day soon. 

As a sex offender he should expect prejudice - not always fair but then that goes with the territory - he put himself where he is.  There is no easy solution for him  but why should we care? ?
Consider a different case - Jeremy forrest the teacher who took his 15 year old pupil to France will be nearing release date - probably March this year.  Does anyone think it should be easy for him to get a job? 

This was and is an odd case. If you are relying on the short newspaper versions but want the longer version try this one:

There are aspects which make me have doubts about the conclusion. The conviction even if overturned will have made a few men think about their behaviour and the risks of how it is perceived in the cold sober light of day. The link to alcohol and what consent can and can't be given when drunk is the key for me.  It cuts both ways- if I jump on my bike after 12 points and kill someone everyone agrees I should be held accountable for my actions. Therefore decisions and agreements made when hammered are still agreements - even if the person doesn't remember making them.  Every fibre of me believes that rape in any circumstance is wrong- no is no - but was this a change of mind - even if any rational man would have realised she was likely to regret the decision in the morning - if this was a change of heart it wasn't rape. It was wrong and two men took advantage of a drunken girl who can't remember what happened and one has now been found guilty whilst the other wasn't.

But a jury of his  peers found him guilty so he is a sex offender on probation.  It is right that he couldn't flounce off overseas.  A sex offender shouldn't expect that they can stroll back into any job.  The taxi driver analogy is excellent. 

Yes 

The ones I got from Devilsyam were just standard thou ones. The joint in the centre had been broken and turned over. Actually there must be a thread let me look

Sorry mate no but looks sturdy

Someone else is fixing wellies the glue is 2.45 on flea Bay

And if you are still too wide the additional mod is to turn the joint around so the mirrors have a lower flatter angle. Luke/ Devilsyam sold me a set and they were a big improvement

I bought myself a new lid, goretex trousers oh yeah and new bike. (and found a new hiding place for the bank statements

I was in Curry ' s a few years ago and in a bargain bin they had alpha dot making kits but designed for tv ' s and stereos. The kit looked just like the bike ones but with different branding. They were practically throwing them out  47p a set ☺. I figured what the hell and bought 10 sets. I marked my fazer and registered the pin on their site as being on the bike with no hassle. I gave a few away and then three years or so later pulled the same trick with the next fazer. Lovely. Today I was messing about in the man cave and found the last kit. I went online but the original website is gone, the registration phone number disconnected but undeterred I called their help line. I  forgot it's new years day and got through to their on call bloke at home. He took the pin details and explained the kit is 14 years old  but ...... gave me a Web address to register it anyway. 

Bits are starting to arrive but not enough to get started. One nice thing about getting a new bike is the list of projects needed to adapt it to make it mine - and a chance to do it right. Power first, then autocom, then grips, then sat nav and a mount I am making from sheet aluminium to sit over the clocks. I had the same on the fazer but I'm hoping to have a few less cable ties and gaffer tape. Just fitted urbano tucano muffs - look weird and fitting odd but work well. (You used the controls through the neoprene).

The negative block is me trying to avoid an issue with autocom loop interference. Not sure if it will work but the previous solutions lowered the volume to an unacceptable level

I understand the fuse each preference but as Rich says my kit all comes with them fitted inline so my diagram is a little simplistic.

I wonder if it matters anyway - the advice is normally to fuse as close to the battery as you can. I wonder could a wire get hot at the other end of a fused circuit? Off to Google again!
