    I wonder what evidence they've got that justifies a murder charge? Nuts.

    I thought I'd give the answer without giving it away completely.
    Liverpool aren't non-league, but should be.

    It does seem odd on the face of it.
    He died because he had a weak heart and couldn't withstand the effects of the taser.
    It's improbable that the officer knew that and tried to kill him with the taser.
    There may well be evidence to suggest that the use of the taser was unlawful - hence the manslaughter charge. But murder? <confused>

    An AK47? Bitch please, you're not going to be fully protected until you have a nuclear arsenal that can exterminate all life on this planet sixteen times over!

    I used to play Subbuteo with my older brother. He never let me play as Spurs and I don't think that I ever won a game. Games normally ended in violence or threats of violence.

    Despite that, a happy memory

    I must confess that I can recall ripping the pitch up and sending the players flying in anger at various times, I am still a bad loser! My brother was older too.

    And as Feargal sung he always beat me at Subbuteo cos he flicked to kick and I didn't know!

    <laugh>...it's the lot of the younger sibling to want to kill the older one (if they're the same gender).

    Both Mrs B and I are second children. We'd both more than willingly throttle our older sibling and most of their mates. I have 2 daughters and they're better than most but it still plays out on occasions.

    My dad had one of the very early sets from the late 40's. He was very keen on the game, especially as he could beat us hollow and he could crow about it for weeks after.

    My dad was like my older brother, only 10 times worse. He was the youngest of 3 boys, so got the **** kicked out of him on a daily basis, so he needed to make up for lost time.

    My first subbuteo team was Bradford Park Avenue because I liked the kit , maroon,amber and black horizontal stripe on a white shirt
    Took it one day to the spoilt brat who lived in a big house, beat him twice 5-0 and he stood on my team so I pushed the little **** over on to his set up ,stadium ,flood lights smashed to **** the nob even had the ref and linesman , if I met him tomorrow I would do it again
    His old man came round our house and tried to give us a bill so my mum set the dog on him <laugh> <laugh>

    Good for Moussa, that is the saddest, cruellest thing I've seen in ages. Hope that beautiful creature is rescued to live with some peace & dignity.
