  1. Best not take it into double Maths then.
  2. Exactly. Times change, people change .
  3. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/reductio-ad-absurdum OK, why would it would be appropriate for a child to take a knife to school? Suppose you went to a night club with a legal to carry knife; would you expect to be allowed in with it? If so, why? As to what I have in my pockets, I have keys which are for opening my truck and my house(legal and appropriate), money(legal and appropriate) and my phone(legal and etc). If I was at work then I would have a knife but I would have a reason by means of my work. If I was going to the pub, I wouldn't have a knife as I would have no need for one even though it was legal.
  4. Reductio ad absurdum has always been a poor argument. Your examples of assaults rather prove my point as they are both criminal. I've also highlighted your choice of word(hurt) because in my opinion a knife attack is more likely to be fatal than either of your examples. I know we have laws allowing the carry of non locking blades no longer than 3 inches but my point is about whether such carry is appropriate to circumstances.
  5. Seriously? If some nasty little bollocks feels the need to carry a knife near my family members then it's my business. Just because somebody has the right to do something doesn't make it a good idea. Ever heard of prevention is better than cure?
  6. I can't think of a good reason for a kid to take a knife to a suburban school.
  7. It's not just a London problem anyway. It's countrywide. My youngest nephew goes to a well respected grammar school in Essex and he has told us about kids there being caught carrying knives.
  8. I need 2 myself. 1 for the tweezers and the other for the magnifying glass.
  9. I'm looking forward to hearing about how Vespasian beat up Lenny McLean, Roy Shaw and Ronnie Pickering all with one hand tied behind his back.
  10. I've been helping a mate out with some garden contracts he has landed, along with booking in fun casino work for December. Also had a log enquiry yesterday thanks to the cold weather.
  11. Given his age, I'm going to guess that they are at the minimum pulled up to nipple height.
  12. Are you sure that isn't old men rather than Asian? Perhaps @Stubby can enlighten us?
  13. Hands up everyone who had to look up proctologist.... Unfortunate choice of words.
  14. I'll be remembering my maternal grandfather, Claude Francis Alvis(Frank), who saw the morning of D-Day from his place aboard HMS Speedwell, a minesweeper clearing the channels off the beaches. I never got to hear his story as I was only 1 when he passed but my Mum can remember him speaking about seeing bodies floating past his ship.
  15. Seeing as you have liked the thread before yours, please respect it and take the usual political shit storm elsewhere on the forum. Thank you.
  16. Believe it or not, it's also recommended for putting on a new tattoo to take down any swelling. Not that they ever believe you in Boots.
