    Fort William Football Club

    B,,b,b-ut, I took the sleeper, I'm just crossing the mighty viaduct and Fort William is almost in sight. You're telling me I've spent £200 just so's they can give me a Bovril and tell me to fuck off, again! Did they give you a Bovril and tell you you're at the wrong ground? Since when could a club like the Fort afford to turn away a paying customer? Of course; I meant sell you a Bovril!

    The Fringes Of Fame/family Of The Famous

    And now her mother is hospitalized. Rough week for Julia. Her mother has died. A DDP unique for Drunkasaskunk. Hold the fuck on. No I don't know your DDP rules but I presume they exist. Who the hell is Julia Roberts MOM and since she is a nobody how is she allowed I a DP of any kind?!!? That's ridiculous. I guess I can put my milkman and next door neighbor, both of whom have seen Star 80 starting Eric Roberts. Pffft. Sir C Celebrity by association, such is the nature of celebrity these days. The rules of DDP only require the death gets coverage (however small) in a major UK news source, Some people took a gamble that she'd get such coverage and are justly rewarded. You can also make a similar gamble with your milkman and next door neighbour if you like. Or not, just as I chose not to, but I ain't bitchin' about it.

    Where Will The Next School Massacre Be?

    Okay, maybe not a rarity, but it's not like they're an everyday thing. "Only" a couple of times a year. That's still a LOT more then any other country... Sure, but Afghanistan has much more terrorists. Wikipedia has helpfully collated a record of school shootings. Here's the page that lists the US school shootings, and here's the main page which lists the rest of the world. "There are notable school shootings all over the world, with the United States having the highest number of school-related shootings." Interesting to note that Switzerland has half the number of guns per capita (fourth) compared to the United States (first) but doesn't feature at all on the list.The difference is that Switzerland has national service, so after all that they're then fully trained and permitted to carry a firearm. Whereas in the United States people assume that just because it says in the constitution that they can own a firearm, they think they should. You can't just 'carry a gun' in the US! On the contrary. The percentage of law-abiding citizens packing a piece at any given time has to be under 2% and legally carrying (ie got a permit) I'd venture to guess under 0.2%. Someone watching too many Hollywood movies. SC It ain't the law-abiding citizens that's the problem! However your post makes no sense, even if the figures could be believed. Of the under 2% of law abiding citizens packing a piece, only under 0.2% are doing it legally, thus making the remainder of your group of law-abiding citizens law-breakers. Anyway, please tell me you have some basis for these figures (the under 2% & under 0.2%) and they aren't just plucked at random from the ether.

    Fort William Football Club

    Not according to their website. Nairn County away on Saturday. Aye, I'll second (I mean third) that. Chill out PB, I'm keeping tabs on progress and posting when required. Nairn 8th, the Fort 13th, the winning streak may be under threat! Nairn triumph for the 27th time in 28 meetings. Four - Nil. On the bright side, all the teams below Fort also lost by four goals, except Keith, who lost by five. Ah, you beat me to it, just returned from watching Carlisle capitulate at Luton. We had a chance because we played a fair chunk of the second half against ten men. Our shooting was more danger to the planes coming into the airport than it was to their keeper, mind. Strangely enough, I was going to preface the post with "Mary's obviously got stuck in Luton". Anyway, I was bored at work, sorry! (In fact I'm so bored, I'm even doing the 'quizzes' & 'surveys' posted to me on farce book.)

    Ask A Deathlister

    Bargain Hunt isn't even on telly at that time.... Antiques Road Trip Yes that makes sense, watch Antiques Road Trip, have a bit of tea and then fire up the internet to see which antiques dealers are likely to die... That's as reasonable a theory as anything else.

    Charles Manson

    No nuptials just yet. According to this report, Manson's fiancée only wanted to marry him so that she could get possession of his corpse to put on public display. Manson's not struck on the idea.
