So sorry, I have been under the weather for a day or two here. The above image was located at the following web page. Very interesting web page it is.

Handgun Control G.B.

Thanks sch00lteach - sorry to hear you've not been well. You've heard about the shooting near Paris?
 
Back to the food side of things (the only thing we really got to be proud of)!

I can remember being little and being able to get fish and chip flavour crisps - shaped like fish and chips.........anyone remember that?...........! :D Now that's something we should be proud of, oh, and scampi fries, pork scratchings and custard....aah British food......;)

I do love food but I've actually lost weight since that photo of me was taken for my av so I'm not that fat anymore!
 
Gosh!!...I have missed a good thread here , but finally I think I am back into the land of Lit ...lol..lol...

Very proud to be British aswell .....who can replace our Mini cars!!!!!...good old yorkshire pudding and our great fish and chips in paper walking along a sea front .....mmmm , not the Americans for sure !!!......

Rule Brittania !!!!!!
 
Blah blah blah

Take the very best of the UK and the best of the USA, mix it all together and maybe you all would have something to be proud of. Oh, that's been done already? Australia? Naturally.

.357 Mag which means a revolver, which means a lot of reloading. 8 dead and 30 wounded? What a bunch of fucking cowards, excuse my French (pun intended).

How can someone do this with a revolver? Why didn't someone rush the sorry bastard and stomp him into the ground after he had his six shots?

Amazing. Only in France.

Thanks for the news tip, no I hadn't been to CNN yet today.

They say he'd two guns, sch00lteach - I know nothing about guns. My families house looks over Dunblane where a nutter killed 19 kids. hard to comprehend.


There is a French law, generally adhered to, that you have to go to the assistance of anyone in danger. No passing by on the other side - or driving on. They did overpower this chap in the end. They'd all be unarmed. doesn't sound cowardly to me.

Don't ever go to Crown Way chippy in Leamington Spa.

Nice one freescorfr!

Well that's his business down the tubes.

Ah the power of the internet!

:D :D
 
hey

What's with all the brit bashing!

I never thought we were that bad?

sure our prime minister leaves a lot to be desired, and Maggie Thatcher well, no one can apoligise enough for her! :D

And sure we've been bastards in the past (apologies about the raping and pilleging)
And yeh we have incredibly stupidly named cities like Mold, Staines, bath and too many _shires to count!

And Ali G well there's nothing i can say!

But were still proud!...........right?

I was manufactured near Cambridge.

bluespoke and I were breeded in Glasgow, but from different stock.

On this very date, in 1949, I emerged from my mother's womb, a little over 13lbs in weight, on mother's Day.

Britain was good at manufacturing in those days.

The comment made earlier about all the jokes on English women may have been a bit harsh. He should have said all the jokes are about English "food" because THAT would have been a true statement. :D

Almost everyone warned me about English food before I visited London a few years ago. The food wasn't too bad, but wasn't great either. I did like the fish n chips, but then I eat that at home, too.
 
We have a saying: They are no longer constructed
as efficiently and as aesthetically pleasing as was once the case.

:eek: Your poor mother! You'd have been on the front of the daily newspaper here if you were born at 13 lbs +

I've been well warned about aerosol cheese, Cheyenne. Is shape not integral to the taste of cheese?

There's always one Chey, not content with lounging about inside for nine and a half months he has to cause her grief on his way out as well!:D

Ha. That stuff isn't cheese. I think it says cheese food on the label. Maybe we can bring the Americans to this thread to argue, too. :D I say only rednecks buy canned cheese. Probably put it on top of their grits. :eek: The vast majority of Americans wouldn't consider feeding it to their cats and dogs much less to themselves.

I'm glad to hear it Cheyenne. What is a redneck?

weevil you really do have the brain of the parasite you have named yourself after
you claim that there are many jokes about english girls but dont have the basic memory power to remember a single one of them .

Am I high or did my las post to this thread have two of them?

Ah, there are a few old threads that address this question with humor but I have to be off to work in a second. Maybe some of the southern rednecks on the board could fill you in? They usually are pretty good about laughing at themselves.

Yeah I heard later he had two semi-autos. Still he had to reload a few times. If he made a hit with every shot. Which I doubt. Fucking French. Throw your hands up and surrender. Sorry if I offend any French users here.

Look if your in a place where a nut is shooting at everyone, when he is reloading, throw shit at him, run over and take his gun away, do something!

He he was probably out of bullets by the time they took him down. 30 wounded? Should never happen. Never. Not with just one gunman. Unless he had an assualt rifle with a hell of a big magazine, then it would be easy. Never with hand guns though...
