Well I knew there were a few here, but hadn’t realised quite how many

So I guess I’d best slope off before I get a 1000 lines.

‘I must not complain if my kids teacher tries to use me for autocide.’

But last word on it, she’s wrong.

And you have all spared her further punishment by soaking up my wrath.

Good Day to you all.

I bet you do a lot of “texting”.

Only when I’m checking the rear view mirror to see if I’ve got something in my eye whilst dropping my kid off.

“middle aged IT executives”

am I the last?

kept on purely for nostalgia’s sake.

I’ve never been an anachronism before.

Career change for you then, bet you always wished you were a teacher.

Have you got dangly things on your rear view mirror?

Yes, of course, what’s that got to do with anything?

I’ve got a couple of mini glitter balls, they are really kewell, maybe I was blinded by one for a moment, but it was only a moment and I was texting with the other hand.

FFS this place, I preferred it before they banned all the middle aged IT executives and populated it with arrogant teachers, left wing, politically correct, pseudo intelligentsia…

At least she was wearing a helmet.

Bingo!

Oh it’s alright then?
I’m sorry,
you’re wearing a helmet so you can cycle the wrong way down a one way street?

I hate cyclists.

Cougar – Moderator
You drove off without looking properly.

Outside a school.

Think about that for a moment.

Seriously? How did I miss her then if I were not ‘looking’ ?This is not ‘outside’ this is within the school environs, designed specifically to manage traffic drop offs, with a cycle track some way away, designed for moronic teachers on bikes amongst others. At least she was wearing a helmet.

I’m sure there’s something about it here[/url]

aaaand its a troll.

Not exactly, it’s two things, more seriously, it’s irresponsible cycling, (ignoring the cycle lane and going the wrong way round a one way system) by somebody that should know better and more importantly if I were getting anal, not giving a good example to kids on cycles, my girl has always ridden to school when closer this one is a fair way away.

It’s ‘asked’ Parents can’t be asked to park a little way..

Another thing I hate about teachers, they can’t even deal with the Queens English.

I am on the way to work, and I’m really important, get over myself?

Have you any idea what that would involve?

The size my ego is?

The bread knife should be doing this anyway, not exactly man work dropping kids off, putting up with <spits> teachers.

The ‘teacher’ should approach the premises either a)Using the cycle lane they have or b)the correct way the traffic flows.

I might complain to the police instead, anonymously and hint she was dealing drugs as well.

Forums I hate em

Go on for sympathy and all you get are layabout teachers posting on them.

I bet y’all are gonna go and walk out in front of one of us scummy parents right now, it’s nearly 4 pm.

We live in another town entirely from the academy she’s at now.

And of course I wasn’t watching I drive a T5 we’re licensed not to have to look and I have a bull bar. 😉

+1 Band of Brothers had to watch it again recently, and Generation War surprised they made that and copped to some of the atrocities, we can always rely on Hollywood and the Yanks to lay ours bare and amp them up a tad like the Church burning in Patriot.

I’m looking forward to watching the Turing movie when it comes out but also enjoyed Enigma. Patton was also not to bad, and Private Ryan brought out the real horror of what it must have been like landing on those beaches.

Buried in all that Cameron rhetoric was the bit about Embassies, I hadn’t thought about that, so they’ll have to establish Embassy’s around the world or can they piggy back?

More jobs for the boys I guess and they’ll presumably have to set up a civil service, that’s going to cost some Tax *dollars/salmonds.

There’s quite a lot to think about.

*what will they call their currency

No other religion acts this way
Brilliant. 10/10

C’mon give us some more of your best material

OK, maybe the suffix in this day and age

Is that a bit of bark stuck to your jumper..?

So think of it as a Cult, that encourages the hatred of homosexuals, and the deprivation of women, then it’s military arm engages in the beheading of enemies, and suddenly your children were leaving to fight for it.

Would that be tolerated in a decent society?

I really don’t get this ‘islamaphobia’ thing, that suggests fear of islam, when the reality is that folk are being conditioned to fear and regard us as the evil in life. Not surprising really the way we allow our streets to fill with drunken spewing women with their dresses half way up their backsides, but nonetheless it inspires parents of a religious in a moral sense to fall easy prey to the teaching of their clergy that we are degenerate and in need of cleansing.

So in a recent poll 40% want Sharia Law. And us lot as infidels would all fall eventually foul of it if it did ever get a grip and their faith filled the vacuum we have left by deserting our own (No, I’m not a God botherer either I’m just trying to fathom some logic as to why anyone in their right mind would encourage tolerance of their activities on our home soil).

The very fact some of you are intimating that I’m acting illegally writing like this doesn’t exactly help the predicament we find ourselves in, softly kow towing, praying that cabby won’t be next. Hoping they don’t bomb us again.

Someone give me another solution? No other religion acts this way, Religions are supposed to be about peace, love and understanding, we have all manner of them here, all co existing, only one is causing an issue. If it were a drug it would be banned. If it were a Cult it would be discouraged, what is so wrong with banning it, you could be releasing lots of folk trapped in an ideology they are not really that happy to be a part of.

Junkyard – lazarus
Not exactly rocket science to simply get rid of it.

yes banning a religion works and it definitely does not drive them underground, radicalise them or give them a reason to hate us

And I’m so eager to hear your idea for the solution to your babysitter problem?

This is a bit like the arguments over who invented windsurfing and a legal precedent suggested it was an English guy, who seriously didn’t, but it broke a patent at the time.

I rode my first ‘Mountain Bike’ in 1985 in Canada the thing that defined it as different was the 18 speeds (road bikes at the time only had a dozen or so) and the shifters were on the handlebars and operated by your thumb, naturally I had to have one of my own.

But the defining manufacturing innovation that drove the sport to the masses and persuaded some cycle shops to agree to stock something that cost in excess of £400 when ordinary bikes retailed for £70 ish, was the Shimano produced ‘Index Shift’ followed by some Bio Rythmn ovalisation of the chainrings. That was in 1986 and then it took off over here.

There were events like the Man V Horse, and we had Man v Mountain bike (I’ve got some old standard 8 video somewhere I really must digitise it).

The Sport already existed in the States and in Europe, but these were the events that launched what we could call modern mountain biking and the ability to go up as well as down, most terrain, with ease.

I thank anyone who had a hand in it, it’s been my most enduring passion from that day in Canada to this and not a day goes by really when I’m not out on it with the dogs.

How does that work?

force assimilation into the UK way of things
You mean freedom of speech, freedom of worship, the freedom to wear whatever clothes you like?

Pretty much, freedom of speech? That went long ago, brought about exactly in the quest to placate religious minorities.
It’s England, you want to come here and be religious? Use one of the ones we already have, sorry Islam is now illegal, it’s a violent and aggressive belief system and it’s no longer tolerated here, you had your chance.

The Last war if you were German or Japanese you went to internment camps, I’m not even suggesting that. I’m suggesting the removal of the root cause of all this, Islamic religious fervour. Not exactly rocket science to simply get rid of it.

Haven’t heard much about this issue recently did they change their minds?

What we should do is address the problem at home, that condones extremism, tolerates ghettoisation of large tracts of our cities and brings festering resentment.

You could even argue that we are breeding an entire legion of fifth columnists if we are indeed ‘at war against terror’ which we’re not really.

This misguided idiot would not be acting the way he is without assuming an audience and probably considering himself a rockstar of barbarism against the ‘infidel’ when in point of fact he’s a coward who won’t even show his face and can only fight defenceless care workers and journo’s, not exactly a warrior of the first order.

There is only one course of action against violence at this level and it isn’t by appeasement, what was it Churchill said about appeasement? Feeding a crocodile in the hope he won’t eat you? That is what has being going on for so long, on top of all the idiotic errors in foreign policy concerning the Middle East.

It’s almost got to the state where if they kill one of ours we should then line up ten of theirs (Hate preaching Mullahs) in orange with meat cleavers at their necks then challenge them to kill one more, that is the only level you can appeal to these sort of medieval butchers.

Or the obvious nuke it from orbit solution to the middle east.

I’d like to hear ‘Uncle’ TomW1987 and Junkyard boys solution to the issue. Because so far left leaning liberal views and tolerance hasn’t exactly helped things back here has it?

Me, I’d rid the country of Mosques, make the religion illegal along with wearing the clothing that freely identifies ‘them’ as a group separate to the rest of us and force assimilation into the UK way of things, or don’t and ‘don’t’ carries the option of a one way fare anywhere they wish but here.

We should have no place for a mysogynistic homophobic culture within our midst, never mind an audience that claps for the wrong side in a cricket match and this latest example is way beyond mysogyny and homophobia, treason is actually what’s going on as is everyone who supports them.

What would I do? Drop him with a single shot, bury the body alongside a pig and tell no one.

I’m just intrigued at the number of (obvious to me now) lady boys that answered this thread which correct me if i’m wrong was addressed to the ladies of STW.

That was the test as I saw it.

Good Answer by scaled I guess she would expect that.

So, what’s the max he can now get 15? Out in what 5-6?

No doubt what happened in my mind, they had a massive row, she ran to hide, the red mist came down, he shot her through the door.

The ‘Intruder’ claim? Why didn’t he check to make sure she was alright before ‘defending’ her as well as himself, total nonsense. If you even think you hear a noise, you wake your partner or at least check it’s not her moving about.

So it may not have been premeditated but it was a deliberate act, for which he should do serious time, anything less than life is ridiculous.

What utter nonsense, you may not have noticed, but our currently just devalued as a result of this garbage. Then the absolute con, letting 16 yr old kids vote yet expat Scots that might have a bit of sense and might want to return to something that resembles the home they love don’t, it’s despicable.

those expat Scots that want a vote in the referendum obviously don’t love Scotland enough to actually want to live there!

But I bet they’ll be welcome to contribute tax to the new Scotland even if they were refused a vote. Total con, the whole affair, I do so hope they lose, but if they win, hell I hope we have the balls here in the rUK to stick it to them and make it as difficult as possible. All these years, me paying for my kids education whilst my tax subsidises theirs and God knows what other enhancements, not to mention all the other gifts the gae us.. Blair Brown et al.

Very divisive the whole affair has been who on earth even let it happen?

konabunny – Member
Konabunny how do you think that just because she is no longer in Scotland that this vote will not affect her on a daily basis…A typical ignorant viewpoint. It’s like saying your less Scottish because you don’t live in Scotland at the moment.

It will not affect her on a daily basis because she does not live there and does not work there. What happens in Scotland really doesn’t affect people who live in England,

What utter nonsense, you may not have noticed, but our currently just devalued as a result of this garbage. Then the absolute con, letting 16 yr old kids vote yet expat Scots that might have a bit of sense and might want to return to something that resembles the home they love don’t, it’s despicable.

Guilty as sin IMHO. Probably why I’m not a judge.

No question, if he gets away with it and I was her father, I’d invite him round for a bit of good old SA truth and reconciliation give him a couple of drinks, then when he goes to the bathroom mistake him for an intruder.

Oh and I’m sure he’s going to get away light.

We are not emigrating nor are we upping anchor and sailing further into the Atlantic. This is a referendum to decide whether or not we leave a political union. Regardless of the outcome of the vote we will still be in the same place, you will still be free to visit, the internet will work cross border, transport links will be maintained and telecommunications will still be possible. History is history, what’s been done will not change.

If we came down in numbers before next general election and asked you to vote a certain way would you do it?

Oh that it were that simple, and so wrong that it is being sold to them like that.

It will be a bloody mess, the Tax issues, just the PAYE alone will be a nightmare to administer, never mind the VAT and Pensions and I seriously believe it will be worse for Scotland, that’s even if they fudge the currency, which they can’t really, they have no “Bank of Scotland” well not one that anyone will have any confidence in for a long while.

That mess will have repercussions for us, what with debt swaps and God knows what the bastard banks get up to, to separate, what bloody Goldman Sachs did for Greece will be nothing compared to the dodgy deals that will be going on to make it happen.

Honestly I don’t think anyone has really gone into the serious ramifications of just what separating the two of us will do and cost and don’t think lots of money will get made by the city bastards doing it. Will Scotland get its own stock exchange? It’ll need it.

If I were voting, anything Cameron/Cleggand Milliband were selling I’d reject out of hand, those idiots couldn’t sell me a glass of water in the desert if I were dying of thirst.

But I wonder how the swing vote would feel if a bunch of us actually took the trouble to march up there asking them to stay, I think there are a lot of us that regardless of the politics genuinely think it would be a bad thing if only for entirely emotional reasons.

We’ve stood together, fought together for so long tolerated so much crap from the political idiots that love change for changes sake (and no doubt individual power and wealth)don’t think a lot of the political hangers on, lawyers, lobbyists, consultants won’t get rich with this if it goes ahead and in the end no more UK.

A ghastly thought, yes it would be worth a day of my time to protest from the pro UK perspective, English division, which so far as done the square root of didlly squat to prevent this disaster.

That’s the most sensible suggestion, maybe a bike ride up there.

Singing ‘please don’t go’ all the way…

I wonder how many would join in?

I hate to think the effect them having to run their own NHS would have on their PAYE, not to mention pensions, I simply can’t see the sums adding up for them. Hell we’re running a big enough deficit with it.

Surely the tax receipts they’ll get from the Oil are not going to be great enough to cover the shortfall, has there been a budget actually published from anyone on the pro Independence campaign that details it and how have they managed to break out the PAYE records from those companies that pay from the UK to Scottish employees and vice versa.

Then assuming Independence and you are a Brit Company paying Scottish employees, some working both sides of the border some living here some living there, how the hell are you going to divide the tax and where will it head? It will be so bloody complicated.

What’s worse, I don’t even have any say in the matter, nobody is even consulting me, it’s like the wife being asked if she wants to leave me, and me not even being allowed to say please don’t go.
Bit more like the wife has been saying “we like each other but you treat me like crap” but having it laughed off every time it is brought up over 40+yr period. Wife then gives date in the future when she may leave and gets more laughing and told to go we don’t care. When it turns out the taxi is on it’s way the laughing suddenly stops.

But I don’t treat her like crap, for several years it was her (politically) ruling me, her men made me go to war, I paid her folk more money than I paid my own, I let her teach her kid for nothing whilst I had to pay for mine, I tried every way to make her happy, sometimes I believe I’d be better off without her, but I still don’t think she should go, she’s not very attractive, is tightfisted always at the scotch or gone salmon fishing, but nobody will love her like I do.. 😉

Either way the whole thing is a bad thing for all of us both sides of the border, whoever thought of it needs giving the Wallace treatment.

I think both sides should be concerned English and Scot, just because we have a bunch of lame politicians in play now, taking a massive decision like breaking up a Union that has existed for most of the formative years of the current system/economy is like a horrendous divorce on a Naionwide scale and we all know what happens in divorces, they inevitably get ugly and both sides lose.

All for what? So we’re ruled by two sets of slimy lying scum sucking fools.

I hate the thought of a split, even more than I hate the thought of the bloody city profiting from it.

What’s worse, I don’t even have any say in the matter, nobody is even consulting me, it’s like the wife being asked if she wants to leave me, and me not even being allowed to say please don’t go.

Who’s stupid idea was it to give them a choice? Honestly if any of us had a vote wether to be governed by the **** we have these days, we’d all vote for something different, but honestly do we want a flag like this?

It’s either this or spinning long term weather forecasts to short or boost Gas futures.

Bloody city, it never ends, this will run and run, they’ll make millions meanwhile we pay for it one way or another.

Lucky Socks, never ride a green bike, never drink beer before the ride especially since that Jedi destroyed my birthday bike ride by making me, helmet, can’t ride off road without it, yet don’t bother on roads, don’t ask.

Meh, from what I’ve read the Ukrainians view their democracy as highly corrupt and never trusted official avenues.

What and ours isn’t?

Can you even smell coffee?

ninfan – Member
Why aren’t we more concerned?
Because the Ukraine is not a NATO member, and Europe has been caught pissing in Russia’s back yard!

The EU nations support of the violent and unconstitutional overthrow of a democratically elected president in Ukraine is intolerable, utterly shameful! Whatever we may feel about Russia’s influence and actions after that cannot and must not take away from the fact that there was a coup, and we in the west backed it.

Poland and the other new NATO members can cry all they like, I would take their bleatings of fear more seriously if they had been investing in their own defence forces, but none of them have come close to the annual spend of the key NATO countries (in GDP, let alone total figures)

Nor is what Russia have been doing in Ukraine really any different from the meddling we in UK and the US did in countless countries over the past decade and a bit – we supported and openly intervened where it was in our own interests. The moral panic is misplaced, we’re at least as bad as the Russians, probably worse – the hypocrisy of our own governments is rank!
This… Spot on.

The problem comes from ‘Us’ thinking we ‘won’ the cold war and crowing about it, nobody likes to feel the underdog, it was exactly the reason WW2 followed WW1. and the West just couldn’t leave it alone could they, they had to influence right up to their back door, it’s no wonder Putin is so popular.

Then we have a limp wrist in the white house, verging on being a lame duck when it comes to Foreign policy, in thrall to Israel, totally screwed in the middle east not knowing which way to turn in the Arab world and who’s looking the least stupid now over the Syria issue?

Let them divide Ukraine it’s bloody half Russian anyway who even cares. They won’t touch Poland that would cause problems and stupid Putin is not.

History repeating itself. Others (Aldi and LIDL) doing to Tescos what Tescos did to Sainsbury’s. They are now squeezed at both ends which is a classic marketing dilemma. Will be an MBA case study for years to come

This.

Aldi doesn’t just save you small amounts of money over Tesco, it is quite dramatic and they have blokey gizmo deals now and again, Air Compressors, stuff like that, I got this jumper had it been a snowboard brand it would have cost me seventy quid, it was £9.99.

Read everything Bernard Cornwall has written, start with the Sharpe Series, read Sharpes Eagle which was the first book then follow the peninsular campaign first, the rest got added later as the TV series made him a bit more popular.

The Athurian Legends in the Warlord Chronicles are also well worth a read, historically a lot of it is accurate and well researched, he’s a bit of an anti christian (Cornwall) so it should suit the taste of most who read these boards.

The Grail Quest is excellent as are the Saxon Storys of the period when Alfred the Great eventually unified the country, so you get action and some historical education you might have missed. All suitably bloody, gory and superbly written, thoroughly recommend them.

I find Tom Clancy OK but a bit heavy on the padding, his Jack Ryan novels were good but boring in places where you got the feeling he was just trying to write a thick book.

If you’ve not read them, the James Bond novels by Fleming are actually a good read, nothing like the movies for the most part and definitely not PC so maybe not that tasteful for some of you.

Other favourites of mine are anything written by Michael Chrichton and some of that legal stuff from John Grisham.

After the boer war where the British were shown they could not shoot for shit by the Dutch the British government pushed for all men folk to shoot for a pastime.
Encouraging shooting clubs all round the country and even in pubs.
Through tunnel type contraptions.

Because if the country could shoot well they would have readymade marksman when and if needed to be called up.

So that really surprises me that the don’t teach the army to shoot well because they learnt a long time ago an army that can’t shoot is like a chocolate fire guard.

I can assure you they still teach them, living as we do not far from the ranges, they’re on the go night and bloody day at times. There used to be a small arms school next to where I live, went there myself when I was a kid and they let the boy scouts do badges on the subject and there were clubs anyone could attend and learn to eventually fire full bore.

But you only got to full bore once you were competent at .22 and nobody went near Automatics until they were 16 minimum. The yanks are beyond help.

Haven’t scoped this entire thread but has anyone questioned the parent that decided it was fine for his/her 9 yr old daughter to fire an Uzi and like why? What possible way was her life going to be enhanced by firing a sub machine gun and as it is, she is now damaged for life, she’ll carry that with her for ever poor kid. I have no sympathy for the instructor, the school or anyone else, madness.

I mean even if you could here, would you? Let your baby girl fire a bloody machine gun?

It’s also common knowledge they lift, basic procedure is to instruct that much to grown ups, why did he switch it to auto? Anyone with the remotest intelligence about the subject could have predicted that possibility.

Horrible just horrible, left me speechless.
