Off Topic The Goodhand Arms

Just remember PL, a relationship can be a lot like a pack of cards - all hearts and diamonds to start with, finishing up with clubs and spades...don't dive too deep too early

 

Well I lost my heart in a club which ended up with a diamond costing spades.

 

Thanks. I'll try. I'll let you know how it goes.

I'll try. We're assuming she's interested though. On OkCupid her looking for was "Friends and long-term dating".... But then, I put friends too and that's just to make me seem less... desperate.

 

Just found out a person I use to talk to killed themself a day ago. He was 22.

 

Oh man, that's sad. No age. You ok?

 

I'm good thanks, just feel a bit weird about it. Haven't spoke in about 2yrs, but still kind of crazy.

 

That's really dark. Sorry to hear that.

 

Haven't read the whole thread but what about Stratford? There's no need to spend money on the theatre as it's a really lovely little town just to walk around in. We seemed to spend a lot of time in the church cemetry as it was fascinating and you've got the river, of course.

 

Just realised between my car and the missus', we haven't had a valid MOT for two months!

 

Blimey !

 

I've done that before... scary

 

Thank you

 

Sorry to hear that, Beefy. I saw the statistics last year and was appalled. It's so awful, I can't imagine being in such a dark place with no hope that would make you do that.
Hope you're going to be ok

 

Couple of times in my life I've had multiple vehicles, and one time the police stopped me and asked when my MOT was due on the car I was driving. I said 'next month'. Nope, the car I was driving had not been MOT'd for 6 months. Another car I owned was up for MOT the next month. They were very nice about it, I was instructed to get an MOT within 7 days. Oops and Phew.!

 

Words fail me.

 

Oh my God. I thought dum dum style bullets were outlawed internationally? Not in the US of course, but in most civilised countries.
Now we see this - specifically designed to maim and kill. Nice.

 

The Liverpool manager flies to Kabul to watch a young Afghani play
Football. He is suitably impressed and arranges for the player to come
Over.

Two weeks later Liverpool are 2-0 down to Newcastle with only 20 minutes
Left. The manager gives the young Afghani striker the nod and on he
Goes.

The lad is a sensation. He scores 3 goals in 20 minutes and wins the
Game for Liverpool . The fans are delighted, the players and the coach
Are delighted and the media love the new star.

When the player comes off the pitch he phones his mum to tell her
About his first day in English football.

'Hello mum, guess what?' he says 'I played for 20 minutes today, we
Were 2 - 0 down but I scored 3, they call it a hat-trick, and we won.
Everybody loves me, the fans, the press, they all love me.'

'Just wonderful,' says his mum, 'Let me tell you about my day …

Your father got shot in the street, your sister and I were ambushed
And assaulted, she would have been raped but for a passing police
Vehicle. Your brother has joined a local gang of looters and set fire
To some buildings and all the while you tell me that you were having a
Great time!!'

The young lad is very upset. 'What can I say mum, but I'm really sorry.'


'Sorry?!!! Sorry?!!!' says his mum,


'It's your bloody fault we came to Liverpool in the first place!'

Ah, but it's lead-free, so your victim is spared the pain of dying of lead poisoning.

 

Horrible.

I'm pretty sure dumdums are outlawed under the Geneva Convention (i.e. in warfare) but not necessarilyunder domestic laws. To be fair there's a lot of pure marketing in there. Be on the wrong end of a vanilla dumdum and you're stuffed. You could make one of those in five minutes with a normal bullet and a drill.

However, one nice thing about the bullet in that video is that it's lead-free, so at least you'll be able to console yourself as your vital fluids leak out that they won't be contaminating the environment with heavy metals. I'm sure that'll be a comfort.

Yes, but the nice man from the company said that law enforcement officers and law abiding citizens would be safer if everybody had bullets that can destroy an elephant with one shot. They won't let the criminals buy them, so gun crime will disappear.
Silly buggers!
