MarcD Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Perhaps there is something called natural justice. Instead of training game wardens they should be getting more lions! Think of the savings in court costs. Marc 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classsix T Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Well let's face it, if you are going to have to deal with lions, if you haven't got a bullwhip and wooden chair, you're toast. Or meat platter. C6T. (The wooden chair being anathema to large African felines, as any fule kno.) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

billy_anorak59 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) FROM BRITISH NEWSPAPERS 1) Commenting on a complaint from a Mr Arthur Purdey about a large gas bill, a spokesman for North West Gas said, "We agree it was rather high for the time of year. It's possible Mr Purdey has been charged for the gas used up during the explosion that destroyed his house." (The Daily Telegraph) 2) Irish police are being handicapped in a search for a stolen van, because they cannot issue a description. It's a Special Branch vehicle and they don't want the public to know what it looks like. (The Guardian) 3) A young girl who was blown out to sea on a set of inflatable teeth was rescued by a man on an inflatable lobster. A coast guard spokesman commented, "This sort of thing is all too common". (The Times) 4) At the height of the gale, the harbourmaster radioed a coastguard and asked him to estimate the wind speed. He replied he was sorry, but he didn't have a gauge. However, if it was any help, the wind had just blown his Land Rover off the cliff. (Aberdeen Evening Express) 5) Mrs Irene Graham of Thorpe Avenue, Boscombe, delighted the audience with her reminiscence of the German prisoner of war who was sent each week to do her garden. He was repatriated at the end of 1945, she recalled. "He'd always seemed a nice friendly chap, but when the crocuses came up in the middle of our lawn in February 1946, they spelt out 'Heil Hitler.'"

RMweb Premium ColinK Posted July 6, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 6, 2018 A group of 11 very well dressed lads got on my bus today. They we going to an end of school party. Each one was wearing a suit clearly made for the occasion. One suit was bright red tartan, another bright blue tartan, one was light blue with yellow flowers, several were covered in bright spots like smarties, one was wearing a very vivid yellow suit and matching trilby. Individually they made Michael Portillo look dull and drab, so when all 11 were together it was a sonewhat colourfull sight. Made all the passengers smile. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

34theletterbetweenB&D Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Those newspaper quotes put me in mind of a 999 call report that really paints a picture. Caller. "He's badly hurt and bleeding, because he came out through a window and came in through the door." Desk, "Didn't you say the door was broken and you couldn't go through?" Caller. "As I said, it got broken because he went through it. It's not safe to go through after that, there's a lot of broken glass." ...An inebriated Irish male with ginger hair wearing swimming trunks and flip flops.Trying to get to London Seems reasonable enough. That will be his nearest Embassy location and for sure he needs some help, if only with the likely sunburn. (Reads like an attempt to max out on one of those 'inadvisable things to do before you become old and boring' wall posters.) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
