The Damned – The Sandpiper at Nottingham – 1978.

Today anyway…

I think Bert & Ernie have a thing or two to say about this

If the OP is convinced that his son has reached a turning point because of what has already happened since the event then I can understand the doubts he now has about pursuing a prosecution. A number of posters have offered sage advice about attempting to get the case dropped and if he has no previous convictions then I think the effect of the OP & authorities actions so far is probably going to be of far more value than a prosecution (and more importantly, a criminal record.)

As the charge was common assault as opposed to the more serious alternatives, then the OP as victim has a say in what is proposed. It is common for a victim of violence, particularly in a domestic setting, to retract their statement and say they no longer wish to support a prosecution. It does not mean that the case will fail but it will be considered. A lot will depend upon whether the son has admitted what happened when interviewed but given this is the first time that the OP has reported such a thing and there is no previous history to warrant a victimless prosecution, then there is a chance that the CPS, if informed by police/defence, will not proceed.
It also depends on whether the son has already entered a plea.

Some kids change and sometimes all it needs is a wake up call, others don’t and it is the OP that needs to make that judgement. He also has to weigh up how he will feel if his son does get convicted and receives a custodial sentence (unlikely but due to the aggravating aspect of the knife, not impossible.)

Hope it all works out for you.

I’m usually banished to headphones corner but when the cat’s away…

Start with the groovy.

Bit of thud.

Where’d that come from?

Something toe-tappin’

This thread is udder rubbish. I can’t uberstand head nor tail of it.

Deutschland üdder alles I believe.

I was riding my motorbike to work and approaching a stretch were the speed limit increased to 40. I could see quite a queue up ahead with brake lights and swerving aplenty. When I joined the queue it seemed like chaos, it was only when I got to the head of it I saw the problem. It was an 18 month old toddler walking along in the middle of the road.

Not one person stopped to help him.

I parked my bike up and went to get him off the road and still had people swerving around me without waiting for me to get him off the carriageway.

After some muffled “Where do you live thens?” I took my helmet off and after a few “Where’s mummy?” he toddled off to nearby driveway where I found his pushchair.

For me:

Sarcofago – INRI.

Not strictly metal but they’ll do:

Napalm Death – From Enslavement to Obliteration
Terrorizer – World Downfall

Maybe? (If he’s a colleague and not a mate.)

Some of them are dab hands at taking out Great Whites too.

Why yes, yes it is!

Probably this –

or maybe this –

then again…

Took my finger end off at work, had it re-attached but it didn’t take. Eventually the doctor said it will need to come off and booked me in for a minor operation to take the dead end off.
Went in and before he injected the local anaesthetic he got pair of tweezers to pull the edge of the very black skin back to swab underneath, he pulled it back slightly which still smarted somewhat and the nurse took the swab.
Bless his cotton socks if he didn’t then just grip harder and rip my finger end off…

I Wrestled A Clare Once.

True story.

Not really into folk but sometimes partial to music that is influenced by it.

I had new batery put in by local repairer on saturday,wore the watch (40th bday present) in shower sat night, wake up sunday to find this!???… Im ringing them up tomorrow to sort it….:/

Many watch repairers have to send off to reseal waterproof watches, they should advise you accordingly if they can’t do it in house.

£ 4.50 is a good price for changing a battery but if that is what she pays for them then Mrs Mac needs to change her supplier – those cells are about 70p each (quality ones, cheap ones are even less)

Yeah, meant to say that’s what you pay fitted or otherwise – it enourages folk to have them fitted in the shop and save the expense of broken parts later.

They’ve opened a Timpson nearby and apparently they are charging £12.

Go to a local independent jeweller. Mrs Mac does it for the price of the battery (£4.50.) She tests the battery too to make sure. Plenty of folk come in and just buy the battery, then return next day asking how much a new face is.

Seeing as this is a thread for favourite metal album, my immediate thoughts are;

Paysage D’Hiver – Self titled and Das Tor
Limbonic Art – Ad Noctum
Darkness – As The last Star Falls From Heaven
Darkspace – I or II
Cultes de Ghoules – Haxan
Nekrasov – Cognition of Splendid Oblivion
Witchrist – Beheaded Ouroboros

Amongst other things, a selection of Necroholocaust.

This is one of the finest couple of seconds of whoosh I can think of.

A nice look down at the Vulcan here.

I turn this up to universal cries of “Turn it down!”

I remember drilling at Humbley Grove in Hampshire. Short lease road which was half farm track anyway, out of sight of virtually everywhere. Spent thousands sound-proofing the rig so that only a whisper could be heard at 150 metres. We did get complaints about a our half-pissed derrick man belting out a bit of Frank Sinatra whilst tripping pipe from 120′ up though.

I’d be amazed if you got prosecuted for due care under these circumstances, failing to stop/report isn’t covered by NIP and if you weren’t aware of the collision then what could you do? When you speak to the cop ask them what the evidence is. If you’re sure it wasn’t you then without CCTV or a bucketful of witnesses I’d rst easy.

Try getting away from PC Mountain Bike Morris in Mansfield. Bowl of trifle if you can.

Cnoc an Tursa – Bannockburn

Ideal for a bit of downhill, I'd of thought.

I recently saw an advert for a ridiculously cheap and very powerful lazer that states, in a way that guarantees that the idiotic most certainly will, that you must not shine it at planes, motorists, cyclists and anything else that might be affected. It also delighted in the significant eye injury that could be wreaked. With such low prices and ever increasing power, I don't think it will be long before pilots are bathed in lazer light in the way German bombers were swathed in searchlights in WW2.
