Off Topic And Now for Something Completely Different

To be accurate, I possibly should have said one of the 4 scientists. What are you hiding there?

 

Wot, no Marine Boy?

 

Old Chinese saying: Only when a mosquito sits on your balls will you realise that not everything can be solved by force.

 

I thought about putting this in the RIP thread, but decided it's probably better here.

March 13 marks the 25th anniversary of the shooting massacre at a primary school in Dunblane, Scotland.

The death of 16 mainly five or six year old children and their teacher was a horrifying moment in the UK. The tragedy ultimately prompted an almost total ban on the private ownership of handguns.


Personally, I'm not aware of any negative outcomes from the subsequent tightening of gun control.

Does she run along bouncing him?

 

There was a woman on North Hull named Doreen who was vertically challenged and her husband of average height used to wheel her around in a shopping trolley, much to everybody's amusement.

Sadly, she was run over by bus. RIP Doreen

 

Was it a minibus??










Sorry Doreen

 

Now the boot is on the other foot.

 

She was a ****ing horror, I saw her and her husband arguing in pub and she waited for the poor sap to sit down and hit him over the back of the head with a beer bottle.

 

Yep, that'll be Doreen...

 

So sad

Shock: Sarah Harding has revealed she does not know how many months she has left to live after her cancer spread to her spine
The singer added that she now wants to try and 'enjoy' herself as she doesn't know 'how many months I've got left'.

However, she's adamant that she doesn't want to undergo radiotherapy and risk losing her hair, with Sarah noting that although this may sound 'vain', she feels that if she only has months left to live then it's not worth it.

The star explained how after facing the agony of losing her breast, she doesn't want to lose her signature blonde locks as well.

Sarah went to to say that her priority now is to spent as much time as possible with her mother and friends before she dies, while the star is also hoping to throw a huge party to say 'goodbye' to her loved ones.

She said: 'I think what I’d really like to do is to see everyone – all my friends, all together. One last time. Then I’d throw a great big f*** off party as a way to say thank you and goodbye."

She added that she wants to find joy 'whenever and however I can' as she poignantly noted that 'Life has got so much smaller'.

It comes after she revealed she almost died of sepsis and had to be put in a coma for two weeks following her breast cancer diagnosis.

As Sarah looked back at the start of her journey, she said: 'At first I thought it was just a cyst. The trouble was the pain was getting worse. It got so bad that I couldn't sleep in a bed. Eventually my skin started to bruise. By now I was terrified.

'One day I woke up realising I'd been in denial. Yes there was a pandemic but it was almost as if I'd been using that as an excuse not to face up to the fact that something was very wrong.'

Sarah went on to detail her experience of being put into a coma for an extended period of time, and added that she struggled to form speech even when she was taken out of it.

Sarah explained: 'With both my lungs and kidneys failing, doctors decided to put me into an induced coma. Even once I was off the ventilator I couldn't speak properly. All I could do was make noises like a chimpanzee trying to communicate.'

Adding to Sarah's own words, a source told how she delayed being seen by doctors because she was 'scared' of going to hospital amid the global pandemic.

The source said: 'Sarah held back from speaking to her doctors about how much pain she was in because of the pandemic and because she was scared. Sarah is now living with advanced cancer and has been undergoing chemotherapy.

Andy Murray was at school there on the day of the shooting.

 

Watched a documentary about it, and the fight to ban handguns after it.
Seems completely common sense now but radical and strongly fought against at the time.
Like you I can’t see any downsides to it now.

 

Inconvinienced legitimate gun users, and gun crimes still happen. As Prince Charles said loonies will find and use alternative weapons if they can"t get a gun.

 

**** the Met.

And **** the mod who deleted that. I know who it was. Nothing new there.
