I'm not often reduced to this state, but I'm bloody speechless

It certainly is a puzzling case. I cannot for the life of me think what his motive could have been.

Bit of an update in the papers today Robin, the best guess of the investigators is he was planning a suicide attack.

I just can't believe that police didn't arrest him and he was allowed to board two flights.

Or that Manchester Airport security ran a scanner over it and didn't detect anything 'suspicious', so the security head just popped it into her pocket and carried on with her job. It had nitroglycerin in it!

My wife flew to London with her flute in her carry on last year. Security person at Ottawa said "What's that long metal tube in your backpack?" She replied "My flute". Security person; "oh that's alright then."

From the Telegraph -

M&S has been forced to change lavatory signs in their stores after complaints of sexism.

A customer at the chain's Holmbush store in Shoreham spotted that the female toilet sign showed a woman with a baby while the sign for male toilet just showed a man, and claimed this suggested that only women look after children.

Writing on Facebook, Sharon Sawyer said: "I was surprised and disappointed at the pictures for the toilets.

"I expected being a family store that you understood that families very much share children's needs and personal care, not just women.

"The picture shows a woman and child. The picture in the comments just shows a man, why?"

As an M&S Sparks Card holder, I'd say all the people quoted in the article are idiots (except the M&S spokesperson.)

Sharon Sawyer needs a quick kick up the ass.

Exactly this! Also, if it's considered evidence - 'device' or not, why on earth would you contaminate it in your pocket rather than put it in locked, safe storage?!

I had a similar thing when i was in my early teens in 2001. I bought a lava lamp in Florida and innocently put it in my carry on when returning to the U.K. Caused some concern when it went through security.

I don't know. Normally this sort of thing flies over my head because I couldn't really care less but if there are changing mats in the Gents, and there's a unisex changing area, why would they not have a baby on the Gents sign? Men could easily have the baby, see the signs and assume, incorrectly, there are no changing facilities in the Gents and therefore they don't know where to change said baby. Grand scheme of things it's unimportant but maybe because it's unimportant the signs should be correct????????

Like I said, CF+0.

Sick of people finding things to be outraged about. I vote they put up a sign showing Sharon having her ass kicked. I volunteer to be the kicker.

Agreed. Outrage should be saved for outrageous things, not silly signs.

I hold your coat and brolly.

If I was Sharon I'd be ticked off by this insensitive post.

You should make a post about it on Facebook to see if you can milk a reaction from all the other self-entitled kicked-ass candidates out there.
