But knowing how the police kowtow to the cyclists, I'm surprised they didn't arrest the dead man and give the cyclist compensation for his trauma!

Sinners...

I see that BBC's Songs of Praise is coming from Hexham, Northumberland, next Sunday (27th Jan).

If I look at the congregation, will I see any of you sinners there?.....

Re: industrial firework thrown into shop

Agreed. The moron should be locked up for a good long time. Wasn't the shopowner's kid nearby? Time to crack down on the anti-social elements ruining our lives. Although I suppose some do-gooder will come along and tell us that this idiot is really a victim of our society and should be given compens...

lever fountain pens

Everyone's trying to conserve, so why doesn't someone make old style fountain pens with a lever filling mechanism?
