So what method would you advocates use? There are those saying they would chop off their heads (I note no response to my question as to whether that was a serious point or not), some who would shoot them in the face at point blank range, some who would use electricity. And on what grounds do you make your decision on how to kill a human being?
-
Lock them up, and lock them up for life. I don't care how much it costs (and if you think state execution is a cheap option, I'd imagine it's anything but). Either killing is wrong, or it isn't.
-
Seriously? That's how you'd do it? Decapitation? Guillotine or a big bloke with a bloody great axe?
-
Definite no and I'll lethally inject (oo-err missus) anyone who disagrees with me.

Or indeed there arses when they were catapulted out of the gliders and knocked unconscious, before getting up and getting stuck in to the bridge defences. Astonishingly brave men. I went to Pegasus Bridge once as a kid and, while I can't remember any details about it, I do recall it feeling like a special place. Must go back there one day.

Wire for me, but both are excellent. As was John Adams, from the same people that brought us Band Of Brothers, which I've just finished watching. On a side note, I'm currently reading a book by George Pelecanos, one of The Wire writers. It's called the Night Gardener and it's excellent.

Absolutely. Das Boot being a case in point - great film. Every time I watch it I'm reminded of how appalling it must have been to fight, or indeed live through, WW2, on either side. I'm also reminded of the Das Boot fruit machine scene in Phoenix Nights. Loved BoB too by the way. Especially the interviews with the old boys at the end. Moving beyond belief - I don't think any series has ever affected me as much as that one. I've often thought another Ambrose book, Pegasus Bridge, would make a good British forces based mini-series, 3 or 4 episodes would do it I think.

Only for the Ball Peen Hammer, this isn't the case for a claw hammer, a framing hammer, a geologists hammer or a lump hammer. Sorry... Only in 'forn parts. In Good old Blighty it's ball-pein. So what about the claw hammer I've got that has a, erm, claw, on it?

The blue and pink jelly sweets, covered in hundreds and thousands, in Licorice Allsorts are called Spogs.

How? I'd like to think someone put a double bed where she was falling and it cushioned her fall. I beleive she fell through a series of shop awnings, landed in a big laundry basket of pillows that happened to be being delivered to a nearby hotel at the time, before exhaling upwards out of her bottom lip causing a few feathers to float about in a comedy fashion.* How she survived the exploding plane is anyone's guess. * Or maybe I'm getting confused with an episode of the 3 Stooges or summat.

Just started The Night Gardner by George Pelecanos, one of the writers on The Wire. I got it from a bloke in Switzerland on the excellent book exchange site Bookmooch, which I would highly recommend - Checkitowt

Did once. One of the only regrets I've had in my 33 years. Never, ever again.

Was 21, at Uni, and it was well worth the wait. Actually, I've just hooked up with the lady in question again, some 12 years on and we are enjoying something of a renaissance. Thanks Facebook!

Ditto Pelle.

Well, we know you're a dad, so I guess you must be talking about a different type of virginity? :winkold:

That is the word my friend. That's not though. It's darker than a goth's make up bag.

Now you're talking. The Wire. Best thing to have ever been on television. Got the 2 hour finale on my Sky+ and can't bring myself to watch it, as it will mean the end. Sopranos (a distant) second.
-
Go. It's a no brainer.

Depends how it's cooked for me trekka. Overdone and it can be proper nasty. We do have a bit of history in the UK of boiling all the taste, texture and nutrients out of our veg don't we?

Well Rosa, on Sept 11 on the Vernon Handley thread you had two attempts to take the piss, wind me up, amuse the punters or whatever it is that you try to do on this forum. It's now getting a bit close to stalking but for the time being do keep trying luvvy. Oh and :shock: Sorry mate, not guilty - I thought you were joking, so I joined in. Lighten up eh? If you are keeping a record of when I 'take the piss, wind you up etc.' can I ask that this be struck from it?

Celery is one of the few things I can't eat. Used to hate cucumber too, but I can tolerate that now. But then, never having had a potage, it could well be chard.

We have people throwing hissy fits when we draw at home to Liverpool so there's every chance

It's stunning............ it absolutely pisses over "traditional" TV drama. Too right. Got last night's Sky+'d and waiting, but I'm out every night this week so it will have to wait. Although anything that delays the sad day when it all comes to an end is OK by me.

Who will be the next leader of the labour party ?

My favourite Milliband brother was Steve. You must remember him. People called him the space cowboy, some called him the gangster of love.
