    Thanks for the offer fella. Love the charm of the train and feel safer on them. I've got my rail card too which makes it less than a tenner return and the station is right near my house. That Darlo coach would be cheaper but I've got to get a taxi once I get dropped off at Rollies or a taxi and two busses to get there to get picked up which adds another 4 quid each way. For the time it takes for you to divert I might as well just see you in paradise and you get a bit more drinking time yourself.

    Ha! You ride feels quite safe actually. Bulkier than the average car. It's other drivers I don't trust though. I need a big bifta, can or sedative before I travel in a car.

    Big nuts or just a loopy fooker? im going with the loopy.


    A stuntman has fallen 25,000ft from a plane to the ground without wearing a parachute, landing in a net at 120mph.

    Luke Aikins, a professional skydiver with 18,000 jumps under his belt, leapt from a plane without a parachute in a stunt broadcast live on television.

    He endured forces of nearly 4G as he landed in the net on his back in the Simi Valley, California.

    Shortly after landing, Mr Aikins was lowered to the ground, immediately rising to his feet and rushing to hug his wife Monica.

    He had begun the jump flanked by three fellow skydivers who accompanied him until they peeled off to pull their chutes at 5,000ft.

    One of them was tasked with helping him remove the oxygen mask he had to wear for the first 10,000ft of the jump.

    When asked afterwards how he felt, he said: "I'm almost levitating. It's incredible. To think what just happened... to be honest I just can't get it out of my mouth - all these guys... everybody. It is awesome."

    The net that 42-year-old Mr Aikins landed in was just 100ft by 100ft.

    One of the best things I've ever watched. A must watch.

    If you're not able to see past 'Grant Mitchell' then really you shouldn't bother.

    22-year-old British man who was reportedly fighting against IS in Syria has been killed, according to his father.

    Dean Carl Evans' death was confirmed by his dad in a statement.

    John Evans said on Facebook: "My son Dean Carl Evans born 7/10/93 was killed in Syria on Friday, he was loved and will be missed by all his family and friends rip son".

    He later posted: "He would have been very proud and would have regarded you all as his brothers and sisters."


    .............

    Hmm.

    He's the 2nd British lad to die out there fighting alongside the Kurds. Apparently he was hit by a round, fell behind a wall and one of the lasses from the ypj went over to help, as she was seeing to him, an ISIS fighter hit them with an rpg, game over for both of them.

    There's been quite a few British lads gone out to fight against ISIS, as well many other people from Europe. There's that many of them that there's European battalions that are fighting out there under the ypg banner.

    I can understand their reasoning, but is it right?

    It's up them, I suppose. They know the risks though, they get told before they go that they may be killed out there.

    If they believe the cause is good enough, whether that be to push ISIS back or to try and ensure the Kurds get their own land, then that's their choice. I think David Cameron when he was PM, said something along the lines of it being hard to criticise and prosecute people for going out to fight terrorists who posed a danger to this country.
