Hi all
Saw this article today and cannot believe that local authorities are prepared to give shotgun licences to under 10s.
Even with parental consent if they shot and killed someone they may not even be able to be brought to trial.
I am beginning to think I am the only sane person left!
No, I'm sane as well (well in this respect anyway) - it is completely mad. You can have a gun at any age and kill someone, but you have to be 16 to smoke and kill yourself 😮
I'm not sane and think everyone should be armed to the teeth, a child should get its first rifle for its 1st Birthday and just work up from there. By the time they're 15 maybe this should be about right for them http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQVg2sjBHQU 😯
Amazing video though!!!
Okay....I'm back again. The world is crazy and is getting worse by the day.
Crazy Example 1:- Saw two guys taking methodone in the chemist shop....right in front of me and my three kids. The staff were on first name terms with the "drug addicts"......Crazy!
Crazy Example 2:- Took my son to Tesco Opticians to get glasses......the Optician only works on Tuesdays and Friday's, it was Wednesday......Crazy!
Crazy Example 3:- Road works have been in place just along the road from my house for a week now. Contraflow system has been in place for the same length of time.....not a single bit of work has been done. Here's the good part, every day a guy turns up and stands and switches the lights from red to green to red to green to red to green. He actually stands and presses a button the whole day!!!!! Crazy!
This has the makings of a good thread!!
haha. These comments could go on forever!
Get this. I caught a train from Bedford to Leicester today. If I'd said "A day return from Bedford to Leicester please" it would have cost me $54 (that means pounds but I don't have a pound button on my computer!).
However, if I said "I'll have a day return from Bedford to Wellingborough (on the same line) and a day return from Wellingborough to Leicester" (exactly the same route) it only cost me $38.
Crazy!!!
After seeing the protests in London over the weekend I can safely say that yes, the world has gone blooming mad!

Seriously ?

Actually, Koka, when you consider that there have been 3 big earthquakes in Christchurch, Japan and Burma in rapid succession, perhaps it is the world that has gone mad.
