I've just gone to shot down the computer and have got for this advert from MSN: https://www.gerber-store.co.uk/stl-2-5-folding-knife-boxed Thoughts?
I had a discussion with the other half on knife stuff a couple of days ago. I can see absolutely no reason why the sale of these things are even allowed or why anyone would want to manufacture them in the first place. Admittedly the knives on show at the time of the discussion were far worse than the one in your advert but to me the principal still applies.
DEATH BY MRI SCANNER A 61 year old man was sucked into a MRI scanner. His wife had just finished a scan....and she called her husband into the scanner room....which she should not of done. He was wearing a heavy metal necklace....and the strong metallic pull of the scanner sucked him into the scanner. He was taken into casualty....but died a couple of days later. This happened in Long Island New York State.
What? An inquiry into something that happened 41 years ago? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgelpx2ljpo For a start, many if not most of the senior people involved in making the key decisions are no longer with us. That makes inquiring pretty difficult and means there’s no-one to punish anyway. Secondly, although there may have been a desire to break militant and extremist unions, let’s remember the strikes were called without ballots and were politically motivated too. Thirdly, this was an industry which would by now have been swept away by the need for clean energy anyway. As against any misconduct by the police, two striking miners were convicted of murder for dropping a concrete block from a motorway bridge onto a working miner’s car. Following the evisceration of Labour’s budget by leftist MP’s, the suspension of Diane Abbot and others and threats from the Unite union to disassociate itself from the party, this looks like nothing for than a sop to the far-Left. What’s the point? And what’s the cost? What actions will be taken as a result of the inquiry?Have they nothing better to do?
Citroen C3 update. Phoned garage today to see how things where going regards repairing airbags.....they said that they had not yet started because they have not yet received any replacement parts and did not yet know when they would.....strewth...this could cost them a fortune.
Project management at its best. Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o
AND.....it's worth a third of what it cost to build..? A vote to subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell to testify before Congress.....I think she could blow the roof off....but will she unless they show leniency regarding her 20 year sentence.
The Epstein story is just the tip of a much larger rabbit hole as far as the hard-core MAGA crowd are concerned. They believe Epstein was just one of a deep-state cabal of the world’s super-rich, Jews and left-wing Democrats who run the world from a secret lair under a pizza parlour, namely the Comet Ping Pong Pizzeria in Washington DC. I know you think I’m on something hallucinogenic but try searching for Pizzagate. Truth is stranger than fiction.
It was particularly nauseating to see "Suzy Eddie Izzard" has been given an honorary doctorate from the University of Sussex. According to the press release...the "celebrity" was awarded for "her significant contributions to society through her work in entertainment...activism and charity" This was reported faithfully by the BBC...which failed to mention in its coverage that this was the same university that allowed an actual academic...Professor Kathleen Stock...to be hounded out of her job because she believes in biologicakl sex. Izzard...63..says he "would be very happy to have children"....I guess it must be at that point his body magically transitions from "girl mode" to "boy mode". Daily Express...Friday 25/07/2025. PS.....Please could you pass your hat over...so I can puke in it.
I don't suppose Eddie Izzard is trying to claim any legal rights as a result of being "somewhat boy-ish and somewhat girl-ish" as he puts it. Instead, he's (or she's) raised large sums for charity and as far as I can see, his (or her) main political activism, outside his support for the Labour Party, is strong opposition to Brexit. I expect that eminently sensible position is why the Express likes to have a go at him. Or her.
