I noted with interest the outraged comment from their regular Welsh pundit Beejj:

Quote from: Beejj
This beggars belief. The Japanese have yet to admit to, let alone apologise for, their bestiality in Nanking in '37, . . . .

Well said that man, although I had no idea that Nanking had any sheep at all back then.

I think these should be issued to MP's as a compulsory lie detector. When you can see the light the bullshit is flowing.

I had a serious look into this prior to moving in with the wrinklies. With hindsight I wish we had taken thinks a little further.  There was not anything in this general direction at the time.
I have always thought that the worst thing about drowning was having to call 'help!' You must look such a fool. It's put me against drowning.

Scared of the dark? Police chief bans officers from going into playground at night 'because it's too dangerous'

Quote from: Daily Wail
In the line of duty, police officers routinely risk life and limb in all sorts of dangerous situations to protect and serve.

So patrolling an area plagued by teenage yobs should be child’s play by comparison.

But constables and PCSOs have been banned from keeping the peace at an adventure playground at night because it is considered dark and dangerous.

A senior officer told stunned councillors there would be no patrols after 8pm at newly-built Waterlees Park in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, for health and safety reasons.

Yer avin a fecking larf ainchya?  lol:
