Hmm.
I - and most people I know - generally pronounce the first 'D', and if you do that, you are always going to have at least a vestigal middle syllable, even if it is just 'ns'

That is only semi-true.
There is as you say, a national database on which the offenders name will be placed, but there is then a requirement that within 3 days of conviction, or release from prison if the sentence included imprisonment, the offender must present themselves at their local police station, and "sign" the register there, confirming their details including their address, passport details (if any) and details of any bank accounts or credit cards they hold.

People pronouncing 'asked' as 'assed'.

wenzday... like it's supposed to be.
It doesn't bother me when the average Joe says wed-nez-day... just BBC employees. They should know better.

The RSO attending a prescribed police station will be asked the required notifiable information (address, names used, passport, credit cards etc) for the completion of the relevant notification form. This is completed by the police officer and the RSO will be given the opportunity to sign it but it is not a legal obligation and no offence is committed on failure to sign.
What they are signing (if they agree to) is not the SOR.

So what exactly is the significance of a signature (so to speak) ?

For use in any subsequent proceedings against the RSO for a breach of the Sex Offenders Notification Requirements.

There isn't any as such. It is an offence not to register at the police station and give those details. That is what is considered "signing the register" even though no actual signature is required.
The police are required to give an acknowledgment in writing that the offender has registered correctly, which is the evidence if needed later.

Woke this morning to two messages from two different bidders on two different items currently for sale on ebay. Both asking me to cancel their bids as they claimed to have assured the items being something different to what they are. They couldn’t cancel themselves as there was less than 12 hours remaining.
Don’t know why it annoys me so much, but it does. It is ebay after all.

I've just heard a BBC radio presenter ask "do you eat out of a bowl or eat out of a plate". Tut! tut! You eat out of a bowl, but eat off a plate!!

I do it nearly every time! I gather all my bottles, cans and cardboard packaging in a bucket, then take them downstairs and then outside to the recycling bins. When I get back there's always a bottle or a can I didn't notice, waiting for me!
