Perhaps a murmuration was targeted by a raptor and some of them crashed into the ground in a panicked bid to escape.

Delirious IMHO is THE BEST stand up performance of all time. And he was only 21 years old.
Very clever comedy delivered in his imitable style. And that suit!“Hey Eddie. You’re lookin’ mighdy cute in those jeans.”
Beverley Hills Cop also brilliant and in my top 10.
“Acmel, Achmed.”

For those into divers’, look at the Scurfa range. Great VFM and great looking. Designed by a saturation diver and watch enthusiast.

I get it in my left ear when I put an earplug in my right for sleep.
I’m convinced it’s related to a clay shooting incident where I knocked the can off my left ear as I shouldered the shotgun to take a quartering right to left. The report in my left was horrendous. It really ballsed up my hearing for a few days and now it’s come back as I’m 50!

If two pints is your max, why bother commenting on a thread that’s about the enjoyment if getting pissed?
The piety level on here is off the scale.

My left eye is very dominant. In fact, my optician more or less said “your right eye’s shite mate.”
As a keen ornithologist, the dominance issue has caused problems when using binoculars; mainly a double image (not collimation problems).
What may seem obvious to you lot evaded my thoughts for years (I’m 50). WHAT ABOUT A MONOCULAR?
Derrrr.

If a bomb vest was suspected then that shot is likely to have been to the head. In which he is most likely dead. I just hope the police involved don’t endure prolonged suspensions and court.
What a job they have. To confront danger and then make a swift but considered decision to shoot to kill or hold.

That is a muppety.
However: yesterday I got some ambient TV lights. Multicolour LEDs that come on a roll. What did I do? Got the scissors out and proceeded to cut the roll into four lengths for affixing to the back of the telly.

One of my staff tried to put through an expenses claim for a pint at the airport at 0800! It wasn’t even like they were travelling on a weekend.
Beyond brass neck. I’d have disciplined the individual.

Possibly psychological after her recent throat issues.
Perhaps she’s become more focused on the function and sensations around her throat and this could lead to globus hystericus. -
derek_starship replied to the topic Hair cut? Ever regretted one? in the forum Chat Forum 3 weeks ago
Not a cut but when I was 15, I bought a bottle of Summer Blonde thinking I could go from dark brown to platinum in twenty minutes.
I burnt my scalp and ended up looking like Damien Lewis.
