does anyone know of any valid religious reason for having loads of children ?

*Buzz* Strong City contributors to the thread please *buzz*

to create more followers of said religion.

well, i'm sure there will be a lot of attention to when he comes out, see if he returns to his life of crime - or perhaps prison for an animal normally housed in a cage, isnt much of a deterrent

and me, it just came up in a conversation in work, so I felt the need to share it

Police Arrest Parrot

Police in the Colombian city of Barranquilla "arrested" a parrot after it helped several alleged drug dealers and thieves get away during a raid, the daily El Heraldo reported.

The incident happened Wednesday, when close to 300 police officers arrived to raid a house following numerous complaints that it was used as a hideout by thieves and drug dealers.

When officers arrived at the house they heard a voice that said insistently, "Run, run or the cat will get you!" They found Lorenzo, a parrot who had been trained to alert residents upon the arrival of the authorities. Everyone who had been in the house managed to get away.

Police then seized the bird and handed it over to an organisation for the protection of animals. Officers also arrested four people and seized 250 knives and 1,000 doses of marijuana.

Police officer Edues Munoz, who took part in the raid, told El Heraldo that while the bird was being taken away in a police car, it kept saying, "Run, run!"

Television reporters went to visit the parrot at environmental department facilities in Barranquilla, where it is set to be looked after by vets. When asked by reporters what it had told his previous owners, Lorenzo replied: "Run, run or the cat will get you!"

One of the best news stories ever.

Do you know whats worse - they would have had meeting after meeting and out of all the proposed solutions, this was deemed the best.

What the **** were the other options they rejected?!?

no its not a fox, its a cat - i've seen him there.

Same thing in the gf's garden. Must be a Welsh thing.

well my little terraced house has a garden full of stone chippings - so the thing probably thinks its a litter tray.

brick n bag it will be then - someone in work suggested to me get some lions piss. Now, I appreciate the difficulty of the suggested cat piss above ^^^^^

but lion piss.... someone is taking it, I think

no its not a fox, its a cat - i've seen him there.

Cheers mate

Back to cats - I dont mind them except for the **** that continually chooses to shit in my front garden

If anyone knows a non bag + brick + river way of dealing with this, let me know.

The director of that is clearly a good bloke.

Not fluent but I at least try to make an effort to speak their language while visiting their country, but dont know a word of german...

Eep.

what language do they speak in zurich? interweb tells me french, german, english and italian.

i thinks it'll be german on the whole - is it entirely german speaking though? or will i get away with speaking french?

sore throat - lots more cash than left with, dirty knees... of course. only explanation in fact

I'm still amazed how I wasn't run over, I remember staggering from one side of the road to the other.... I woke up feeling like my throated had been violated (which I really hope it hadn't) with a porcupine inside my head, a tongue like sandpaper, mud all up my trousers, and 20 quid more than the 100 quid I went out with :L

sounds like you'd been selling blowies on the side of the road.

After my stag do I was dropped off in the middle of nowhere in just my boxers to walk home - i think it was about 3 miles but felt like a lot further.

As a spin off discussion, how far are your commutes to work? Anyone beat 43miles each way?

186 miles each way but to be fair, I only do it once a week (there on a Monday, back on a Friday).

Close! 42 each way. I'm going to go via the shop now just to beat you

I'm not doing football studies, it was just one idea I had, a bad idea admittedly.

Oh well, I'm sure you are pleased to get your cheap dig in as usual. Nothing better to do.

To be fair, football studies would be a serious waste of time and money for you...

Try sports science at UWIC - top course, and chances are with your footballing background you'd be a shoe in, and make the Uni's first team who play in the Welsh League.

martyrs is easily the sickest most orrible film I have ever seen

you've obviously never seen ' August Underground ' then ?...my god !!!!

There's a new abomination out called A Serbian Film. I won't be watching it because I'm a coward and it sounds horrific.

Human Centipede.

Holy mother of god. Disgusting.

but how long has frieds got left? surely next season we may have to look at another keeper?

id love shay given

No thanks - good shot stopper but hardly dominates his area.

He qualifies for Ireland on the basis of being English but never likely to get a game for England, pretty much like the rest of them.

the fatties in work getting in a fit because the vending machine is broken and its a full 3 hours before anyone will be over to fix it :)

Are there statistics on the net anywhere of like how many people get a job because of their degree or in that area of what they studied for? It'd be interesting to know.

I still think a fair few people go to Uni for the sake of it, to be honest, I am really but you only live once and all that. I've got plenty of years of my life to waste doing most likely a boring job might as well do something interesting while I'm young.

I do - but out of those I'm still in contact with who I graduated with, I'm the only one. Most have gone into teaching or post graduate study.

I think Citeh will finish top 4 but no higher.

At moment they have a team that can produce vs big teams but struggle against the lesser lights as more difficult to break down.

So not higher than 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th?

How exactly can you finish higher than that?

such a dirty side complaining about injuries.

they'll be fine, 12th-15th this year. but they are a bunch of dirty f*ckers.

Shamelessly pinched from the bbc's QI section:

The Andorran army only has 10 soldiers.

Don't have a problem with taxi drivers, especially ones like Bicks who sounds like he actually does the job properly.

But there are some right clearings in the woods out there. The minority, but still. In Leeds once we got picked up outside a club. Halfway home he said he couldn't take us all the way home so we had to get out, halfway home, and pay however much it cost to get us there. We objected and told him (which another driver had told us, not sure if it's true) that if he hasn't taken us to our destination we don't have to pay him a thing.

He drove us to the police station and locked us in his cab and told us he wouldn't let us out until we paid him (we were now further from home than where we'd started).

It wasn't until we phoned the police station that we were parked outside of, and told them there was a taxi driver holding us hostage outside their door that he finally let us out! Needless to say he didn't get paid.

There are so many ways that could/should have been resolved its unfunny.

My mate is currently doing a stint inside for car jacking a taxi and driving it around the car park while pissed
