En Passant

Thanks sc, I have something of an ongoing interest as to the sort of person who can carry on without stopping after doing that to another human. Having been run over by somebody coming round a bend too fast at night and not looking, I have some personal experience in this area. Clearly I wasn't killed, and thankfully the person responsible did stop, and also called an ambulance. Tried again from here direct, it still says the same, so either it's available from some sort of fb link to an archive, or it's some other techie reason, but I definitely still get that from clicking on the link.

Hit, run, issue injunction on herald tribune quick sharp pronto apparently as the article is already "no longer available".

Ah but 154 channels where a 1 hour programme runs 37 minutes because of 'messages from our sponsor' isn't an improvement on 3 channels where one is showing 'dads army', the second is something about calculating the relative viscosity of vegetable oils (leading to an OU degree in something obscure if you were actually doing the course [nobody was though]) and the third, and only commercial one, with far fewer ads than its american cousins (they were legally constrained to 9 mins an hour or such) showing somebody instructing a remote cameraman with a crossbow to:- "up a bit, down a bit, fire" in an attempt to win a caravan or speedboat they'd never use anyway.

You may be thinking of the incident a few years back when he walked into a wall in his hotel room and broke his nose. With anybody else that would be a relatively minor injury, but... Understandable, the wall was only 35 feet from the door.

Not entirely sure that comedians are trained for combat. Not entirely sure why Bono considers being in a band and singing a bit qualifies him to give advice on either combat or comedy but it doesn't seem to have stopped him.

For sucide by antique maybe. Normal practice?, normal....?? Did you get this from that well known booklet:- "Blowing your brains out the Purdey way" 1876 revision? Sure and that's kind of the point, it's not the first occasion I've seen it quoted that Cobain used both. Prompted me to look it up now, so see here for shotgun configuration and an explanation of multiple triggers and the ability to fire both barrels simultaneously.

I've wondered about that when I've seen it, I mean, did he miss with the first one? I've fired a shotgun clay pigeon shooting a couple of times and as far as i recall on a modern shotgun either under and over or side by side you have to pull the trigger twice in succession. I think the old ones had two triggers one behind the other so i suppose it's possible to pull both concurrently. But I'd have thought with a modern one, well there's no easy way to put this, how much of your head is left to send the instruction to pull it again?

The guy clearly has something against his Grandmother. Urgh, that's a whole different website, you sicko. It was a joke. My grandmas died in 1997 and 2002, aged 92 and 103. <insert tumbleweed here> Well that makes you even more sick. (Is it new forum criteria to be completely devoid of a sense of humour to join?) He's devoid of a second 'L' for that. You British are apparently devoid of brains. drol(l) American I presume? So to continue with your ridiculous stereotyping of entire nations - your jingoistic attack dog response is about what we should expect in response to a joke. And since you haven't bothered to provide, or have hidden, your origin - if it turns out you are not american that simply proves how far off the mark the stereotypical attitude can be. Still, my moneys on yank, you lot are adversarial at birth

Money and sex....that's why Hugh is 90 today and he'll keep up until 100, I bet my ass he will i know that you mean, and in part you are right but... also it's probably that at his age can have an heart attack "during the act" Studies have shown that people who have lots of sex and enjoy it have a low chance of heart attack....meaning: heart is a muscle and he's pumping it to perfection.....his heart is healthier than my whole body, that's why MJ died at 50 Forever blowing bubbles. God smote him down. Incidentally, did those studies inform you as to the chance of a heart attack for people who have a lot of sex and don't enjoy it?

and in a twist it turns out this guest is the one with dementia. Why? I can't be asked to verify, partly because my pc objects to being sullied by clickbait redtop websites , but I see no reason to doubt the accuracy of it. You have checked and in some way what he says is indeed inaccurate?

This. In spades. Build more roads rails and so on and you find people travelling 50+ miles to work (school, shop, leisure etc), probably passing people travelling 50 miles in the opposite direction doing exactly the same thing (Ya not necessarily balancing out it may be more one way than the other, though its hard to say that about the M25). They will conitinue to do this until the traffic density outweighs the benefit of doing so, and bingo, back to square one but all wasting more of everyones time whilst creating more stress more pollution and more global warming.

Died, indeed behind bars. Can't say I'll be mourning that one. And he does indeed get a UK press mention even if it is just the Daily Mail, which I don't seem to be able to link to. Have a like, some weird offshoot of ocd compels me to follow some links I'd rather not and the Daily Heil is right up there.

Tax evasion is about hiding your assets from the taxman. To see if you have what it takes to get started here's a small test of your ability to detect hidden assets. Can you see anything hidden in this red dot?

Not sure why the assumption a female porn star shouldn't be a good horseback rider, surely you are more used than average to having your legs spread?

I was going to tie all my cash up in panama to avoid tax like these bastards*, but found my fickle plans were fucked when they said I had to turn up in person - I couldn't afford the airfare. *I'd really like to be able to say it's a shock but it's not.

like the ones that go wahhhh you misspelt this wahhhh. It's not that your spelling and punctuation in and of itself is any worse than that of some others. It's more the laziness of your posting in general. We all make errors, it's human. Nobody expects perfect spelling, however its obvious that you take no time at all to re-read and correct yours. When questioned about it you then compound the error by flat out lying that its autocorrect that's causing it all, and yes, it's lying because some of the 'corrections' aren't even actual words so it wouldn't be autocorrected to that as an end result. Ultimately this shows contempt for others who are trying to read and understand what you wrote (this means that yes, they may be interested in your opinion....so why make it harder for them?). Even if somehow it were all autocorrect errors and you do know the correct spelling, that would just add to the laziness quotient because you know how to fix it and couldn't be asked. Perhaps as a relative youngster, it would be clearer to you if I were to say you are 'disrespecting' the very people you want to read what you have written.

Effort 7/10, Imagination 8/10, Crediblity 2/10.

I have been arguing very coherently and responding to every point. Disprovening illogical points doesn't mean arguing incoherently. The prosecution rests m'lud.

ffs learn to argue coherently.

except people are never executed straight away. It's usually 10 to 15 years. Your point being that a miscarriage can only be discovered in that period? So it'll be fine? Even if that were the case, what about the mental suffering inflicted? Bad enough to be wrongly convicted I'd have thought, but to feel your life is to be extinguished for something you didn't do is a horror I can barely imagine. Your arguing is also all over the place. You don't answer valid criticisms of your original point, you introduce spurious side issues and proffer no evidence for any of it. Ultimately if there is a case to be made for the death penalty (personally I don't think there is), you aren't making it.

Are you the re-incarnation of Terry Pratchett? Presumably there is some reason you insist on putting DEATH in caps. What the heck has framing people got to do with it? And even if it did, where is your evidence for the assertion that they got away with it (gotten is such a horrible term)? You're just making this up as you go along. If people are wrongly convicted and sent to jail, they can subsequently be released when the miscarriage is discovered, it's not perfect, but I'm sure they feel it's better than had they been executed.

Proponents of the death penalty are always certain a miscarriage of justice couldn't happen to them or theirs. Probably explains some of the right wing views on it. Brought up with a blinkered view of the world from the starting point of a privileged position and it's probably hard to put yourself in the shoes of those less fortunate. Doubtless there are people who fully deserved to be put to death, also undoubtedly considerably more than one person who didn't. One is one too many, QED.

From that link: "I have one blip and I get hammered for it". I wonder if he was aware of how apt a phrase that is....
