Popular Post Chindie Posted June 16, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2023 Theres just something very satisfying about this. The headbutt coming from the next county, the fact it hits so cleanly that it sends the guy into the next universe, the noise being the right side of 'meaty' (#kenneth), the reaction being 'ohh that was pretty violent but also deserved, and impressive'. Always cheers me up. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be absolutely ripe for posh delis and, craft breweries and other such stuff. Of all the places to struggle I would have had Sutton a long way away from my list. Should be similar to Solihull which is thriving. Too many fogies? Sutton has lots of much smaller high streets. Well they’re not high streets but you know what I mean, smaller collections of shops/ bars etc. Mere Green, Streetly, four oaks, little aston all off the top of my head all have small shopping/bars/restaurant areas that are nicer than the town centre and I think people tend to go there for those sorts of activities. Even in the town centre the place with the nicer bars and restaurants is the road up towards the horse and jockey away from the actual town centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wonder about people whose first reaction to any confrontation is violence, does the wife get a slap every time she burns the toast , the cat gets kicked across the garden for not digging a deep enough hole for its crap. essentially it just looked like another cowardly attack being passed off as heroic , maybe I’m just old and prefer fights to be done via a slap across the face with a glove and pistols at dawn 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one seemed to have an issue with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And off the job or not, a completely unnecessary escalation and use of force that should have consequences for him professionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wider story is the man that was headbutted had been threatening passengers and claiming he was going to stab someone for 20 minutes. The off duty cop was found to have not broken any conduct policies and faced no disciplinary action. I just appreciate the form and comedic element to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it's comments like this, where people have no idea what happened before or after that make life so difficult for the police. You had no idea what had gone before yet still jumped to that conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond the video looking into it you might say a met officer chinned someone, again only one conclusion based on that, at least it wasn't a female. Looking further into it, no video evidence but a dangerous man made threats apparently so a trained police officer did the only thing he could, he chinned a man.

Don't get me wrong, I understand how it looks but it just highlights the need for context. There are some arseholes that work for the police and some great officers as well who are lumped into the same bracket. Although I accept if it was a Met officer it would more than likely be out of order! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted June 17, 2023 Author Share Posted June 17, 2023 Nice weather, rum and pepsi, test match special on the radio (could do with another wicket though). It's what Saturdays are all about. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark, white, she sees no colour but she can't stand spiced rum and I believe she just doesn't like the idea of spiced rum. The problem is I love it but won't buy it as I prefer to drink her rum and spend my own money on whiskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knocked dark rum on the head a long time ago gave me shocking hangovers, I'll give Havana Club7 a go every now and then but other than that I avoid it, even the likes of pussers which is great quality is pure headache for me, the likes of lambs are a killer HC 3, the white one is still the best imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
