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.
the Islamic Resistance Movement.....known as Hamas is committed to armed resistance against Israel......and there aim is to create a Palestinian state.....and the recognition of Palestine as a state and the destruction of Israel are their aim.....the first part is starting to happen....giving Hamas a terrorist organization recognition in the eyes of the world. Palestinians are in fear of Hamas and are controlled by them....Palestinians are starving....but show me a starving Hamas fighter.....they control the food that comes into the territory.....air drops are not enough...but they do end up with the Palestinians people. To blame Israel for the food shortage is not right....the provision of food to the people isn't working....Hamas decide who gets it....and where Hamas have lost control other gangs have sprung up to take their place......the complete destruction of terrorist gangs of whatever persuasion is the only answer to peace in Palestine.....recognising Palestine under Hamas control will just justify that terrorism works.
In Tuesday's address, Sir Keir said Israel must also meet other conditions, including agreeing to a ceasefire, committing to a long-term sustainable peace that delivers a two-state solution and allowing the UN to restart the supply of aid. He added that Hamas must immediately release all hostages, sign up to a ceasefire, disarm and accept that they will play no part in the government of Gaza.
That is excellent....BUT dead in the water because Hamas will not wan't to relinquish it's strangle hold on Palestine....they govern with fear and many a Palestinian have paid with their lives for opposing them. The deaths in Palestine are figures from Hamas ....how true are they...?
Whether Hamas will actually relinquish control is not the point. The point is that Britain will not recognize Palestine as a nation unless they do. The Palestinians that are dying in droves now are dying from hunger and Israeli military and para-military action. Israel (who I've always supported previously), or more particularly Netanyhu, have gone far too far and lost the moral high ground they previously occupied.
Funny how history is dependant on what a teller wants to get across. Israel was recognised as a state back in the 40's after bombers had systematically blown up British soldiers. They were terrorists at the time. To dispute the death toll as made up figures is not too distant from people who deny the Hollocaust. That's considered anti semitic so what word would you put on denying Palestinian deaths? Whether the figures are exact or not the fact still remains there are a feckin lot of them and a shed load are kids who are now starving to death. The reason gangs take over food in these circumstances is because there is so little of it they can make a living from it. If the supply of basic food was sufficient then the gangs would not have any control. If there is a food shortage then who else would be to blame other than Israel? They control everything that goes in and out of Gaza not Hammas. "show me a starving Hamas fighter". You wouldn't know one if he jumped out of your wardrobe and bit you on the ass. An additional question. If Hamas are so bad and bullying to Palestinians, would you try to go live somewhere else if you could get there? Would you even cross the English Channel in a rubber dinghy? Between Hamas and the IDF I think I might just leg it somewhere else given the opportunity.
