IN FEBRUARY. Why such a delay? im guessing that the prosecution wont mind that too much if the defence are going to argue mental health issues as the cause, gives them more time to counter it but have you watched 13th?* that's how the states sets theirs up for minor crimes, you can pay bail if you can afford it or you can sit in prison for 1-2 years waiting for it to go to court or you can plead guilty for something you didn't do and be out in 6 months, thousands of black kids are picking the latter *you should, its excellent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted August 9, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted August 9, 2019 We're in a holiday cottage in the Lake District, and watching TV. Every Freeview channel working fine, except BBC2, which is visually OK, but for some bizarre reason has totally **** ed sound - it sounds like it has been massively slowed down to an almost disturbing guttural rumbling. How is such a thing even possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a browse through the channels, and it seems it's just the BBC2 HD channel that has the horror movie soundtrack - regular BBC2 is OK. And like I said, the profile pic will revert in a couple of weeks (see Rogues' Gallery). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, that would have been pretty offensive even if she'd said 'chinese takeaway'. (My wife's lovely by the way, that was a blip that I still like to embarrass her with 10 years later). I've told this story before I'm sure. At my previous company, the tradition was on your birthday or day you were leaving or whatever, you'd buy a load of samosas for everyone. So this one time someone bought some and I volunteered to go out to the gatehouse and collect them from the guy when he turned up (you couldn't drive on site). So I go out and wait for him in the car park. After a couple of minutes this car pulls up and sitting inside it is a Sikh man. Beard, turban etc. So I thought "Ah that's probably them" But he didn't get out. And just before I started to walk over I thought "but what if it isn't?" I'd just be walking over to an indian gentlemen and asking him if he had the samosas, which would probably be quite offensive if he wasn't! It would be a funnier story if it wasn't the guy. But it was. But in the end I had to stealthily sneak up from behind until I could see the box of samosas in the car and could confidently ask him without causing offence 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming that because he’s Indian he’s brought Indian food. its not exactly offensive but if he had been a visiting supplier or something it wouldn’t exactly look very good.

chrisp65 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 At midnight on the 12th of August, a huge mass of luminous gas erupted from Mars and sped towards Earth. Across two-hundred-million miles of void, invisibly hurtling towards us, came the first of the missiles that were to bring so much calamity to Earth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) Was walking my dog yesterday (Border Collie). We walked past some apartments and there was a woman in the inside bit waiting for the lift with a dog (Boxer). The Boxer (I don't know why) hates my dog. So far so good. The Boxed then smashes the glass with his face and his head went through it to try an get to me and my dog. She must have relaxed her hand with the lead and the dog forgot the glass. 4 foot by 3 foot piece of proper old shard glass. The Boxer's face was cut up and bleeding, I asked the women if she was alright and her husband was coming down so I left, a) Glass was everywhere b) Best i went away with my dog. My dog didn't even see him do it as he was on the side away from the door so i was in between and the glass hit me. All OK though. The Boxer's face is even flatter now the dozy idiot. Mental to be fair. Edited August 12, 2019 by Amsterdam_Neil_D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
