  1. Surely this is more of a reason to disarm. And having the ability of carrying a concealed weapon is not going to help you in the event of an bombing campagn. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers
  2. It's not legal but the don't shoot you for it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers
  3. Shot Man not connected to the bombing. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4711021.stm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers
  4. I don't know why he was shot on the ground. Maybe he was going to trigger a bomb. I don't know There isn't enough facts at the moment to say what went on. We don't even know who shot him (police, M15, MI6, Special Branch, Special Forces) Do different security forces have different rules of engagement. I don't know. Just offering up some possible thoughts. Just read on bbc web site. "He ran, they followed him. They say they gave him a warning, they then shot him. "They brought in the air ambulance. They did everything they can to revive him. He died at the scene." Police had warned they would shoot to kill if they believed somebody to be a threat, she added. Another passenger on the train, Anthony Larkin, told BBC News the man had been wearing a "bomb belt with wires coming out". "I've seen these police officers shouting, 'Get down, get down!', and I've seen this guy who appears to have a bomb belt and wires coming out. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers
  5. Reported on the BBC web site. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4674463.stm Lets hope they have the correct person. John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers
  6. [B]Britain[/B] lived through Hitler. [B]Britain[/B] will live through the new evil. Stand tall, [B]Britain[/B], and remember that you are a nation that gave the world Winston Churchill. Prayers for the families. There I fixed it for you. It pisses me off when people assume that England is Britain (or UK).

  7. They will need more than 6 years to improve the public transport infrastucture to cope with the influx of tourists. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers

  9. I've got a comunity tank with 1 clown Loach 1 flying fox 1 Ancistrus (bristle nose cat fish) 13 peppered cory's (9 are off spring of the 4 adults) 2 silver tip tetra 2 zebra danio 5 swordtails (2 adult + 3 off spring) 11 cardinals (7 in quarintine waiting to go into the main tank) I've already given away swordtails and cory's to friends and colleagues , they just won't stop breeding. The tank may sound a little crowded but 9 of the corys will be given away within the next 2 weeks.

  10. There's a sticker on the Let 410 at Hinton. "Jesus Loves you, everyone else thinks your a cunt" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers
  11. Then that would mean any car parked on a public road was bordering on entrapment if a thief stole it and got caught. Stealing is stealing. We all know that stealing a car is against the law , it doesn't matter if it's a bait car or a car owned by a member of the public. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers
  12. I thought IPA (India Pale Ale) was supposed to be a weak beer not 21% proof. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers

    Bagpipes?

    You might want to think about just getting a chanter first before going out and buying a full set of pipes. http://www.mondouno.com/chanters.htm No , I don't play the pipes but good luck to you.

  14. This thread always makes me laugh when people start to moan about paying $2.00 per gallon. here in the UK it would work out at over $6 per Gallon. (£0.83 prt Litre) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers
  15. did the Bulgarian troops fire on the US Troops. If Not then it was not "return fire" it was someone shooting before confirming if the target was friendly or foe. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers
  16. I wasn't going to look ..... until I saw your porst
  17. What about this one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers
  18. maybe one of the reasons that you didn't loose weight is because you burnt calories doing the exercise but at the same time you increased muscle mass to the same extent as the loss of fat. Just a thought. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers
  19. I'm down 21 lbs in 4 weeks. Which is quite good scince I haven't even started to exercise yet.
  20. It could be more disaterous than you think. CO2 emissions put corals at risk http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4226917.stm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers
  21. Here's another use. Jet powered beer cooler. www.asciimation.co.nz/beer/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers
  22. it's got to be crimes against sheep ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers
  23. Yet the article does say that the Dominican Republic, New Zealand and Finland have higher crime rates than England and Wales So that means that England and Walse Don't have the highest crime rate in the world. I think it's a moot point anyway as not every country rcords crime in the same way so there is no acurate method of comparing the statistics. john ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers
  24. That was tongue in cheek. I didn't think anyone would take it seriously. I did google ice shelves getting colder. http://www.christiansciencemonitor.com/2002/0118/p02s01-usgn.html Dr. Dornan's study points to an average cooling of 0.7 degrees per decade from 1986 to 2000 Yet later on in the article he says. Dornan holds that any cooling down south comes as cold comfort in the face of climate-change predictions because Antarctica's temperature record "is already included in the global averages that show the climate is warming." Another scientist claims (Josephino Comiso, an atmospheric scientist ) Using satellite data for the months of January and July from 1979 to 1999, he reported a drop in the continent's average temperature that amounted to 0.4 degrees per decade. Yet further on in the article he says. Yet Dr. Comiso cautions that his results were uncertain to within 0.6 degrees, a margin that swamps the result itself. Not really conclusive proof of an ice age. The observed global temprature of the world is increasing. Small local effects do not affect a global trend.

  25. What is ? Do you think that personal opinion is more reliable than scientific fact. I still don't know where you got the figure for -54 (F or C) Deg from. John Ok. I found a link http://www.kare11.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=74230 Must be another local affect because the rest of minnesota is not as cold as that. Several northern Minnesota cities saw extreme cold temperatures. It was 51 below zero in Babbitt, 44 below in International Falls, and 42 below Ely. In the Twin Cities, the overnight low was a balmy 11 below. ....."We saw the cold air coming, but you're always going to get those areas that are locally colder temperatures," he said. It also doesn't say if this is the actual screen temp or the temp with wind chill added. It wouldn't be beyong journalist to exagerate to get a good story ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you think my attitude stinks you should smell my fingers
