Not wishing to be seen as pedantic but they don't Behead people in Iran as a rule - I think there's been one case in about 50 years since the Shah was deposed
Every other method of execution is used including slow strangulation hanging, throwing off tall buildings (which the delighful and cherished Palestinians also enjoy a spot of especially for homosexuals) and stoning to death but decapitation is more an Arab thing than a Persian thing- I think only Saudi still executes in this way, although my uncle was in Qatar with the Army in the late 70s and the Qataris were still doing the odd public beheading back then...
It's bloody but quick - a benevolence that the lovely folk in that part of the world don't bestow on their livestock sadly... |

They don't know they're born !
All we had back in my youth were D Coaches those cream colored Charabancs and we didn't even have those for a while when they were used to transport the Scum from the station to the Vetch and they smashed them up in '91 !

I think he has - Manning seems to bring him on for the hapless Dion Charles around the 60 min mark....
Town fans are on their team's back at the moment with results and performances being below par. Most of the ire is directed at Manning and Charles.
No idea why he's not starting - their fans are increasingly thinking he should be. |

Know the young lad in the dai cap from somewhere and the ginger bloke in the joggers looks familiar too. Might be football but I'm thinking regulars in pub or a club. They'd both be in their 60s now of course. Some classic cars in there fair play.

I was a bit too cryptic there I think....
It's the motto of the UDA...but of course we ARE seperated by religion, especially in Scotland and Ulster
This was one of many sectarian banners in both ends on Sunday...

Heard Apothic is tidy - wating for it to be on offer somewhere because I'm a tightarse - Ancestors were Cardis... LOL!
I'm tempted to open a bottle of 19 Crimes right now I've heard good things about it....It's yelling at me from beyond the slow cooker which has a Vietnamese beef stew on low for tomorrow and the smell is making me hungry..
No work until Thursday AM so I think I'll have a cheeky glass and watch a few episodes of something and a lie in, in the morning...

I go to Lidl in disguise mun !! I'm not that daft !
I'm on first name terms with most of the staff in my local Waitrose been shopping there for over 20 years and it has a low turnover of staff but I can imagine that is not the case in London - they probably shat themselves at the prospect of human interaction or that someone would be friendly to them and not treat them as a serf. I'd put it down to shock...
Glad you survived and enjoyed your trip for the most part.... I bet you're glad to be back on the quieter climes of the peninsula walking the dog though...
Like I said alright to visit if only to thank your stars you don't live there ! :) |

Totally in agreement.
Even in rural areas like mine with low crime rate. As you know my friend we chose to live here to raise our kids in relative safety and if it's a problem here God knows how endemic it is in the less salubrious areas of the Home Counties.
Out walking you smell the weed drifing from passing cars with their music pumping. Sometimes several times a day and it's different vehicles different areas you smell it about people's person in public areas and can tell when a group or individuals are supplementing their drinking in pubs with cocaine which is now cheap and readily available. Coke, drink and weed all have negative effects on driving capability. Cocaine in my opinion the worst as it masks the effects of booze making the person feel in control at the wheel but prone to bad implusive decisions like speeding, lack of seatbelts, mobile use and thinking they are wired when the alcohol and cocaine are both affecting decision making and not even Nigel Mansell could perform an emergency stop after smoking skunk or any of the modern high THC % varieties of weed.
It's a main topic of concern between residents, parish & borough councillors and the police. In December alone TVP made 469 arrests for drink and drug driving with a 209/260 split. Not just 'kids' main demographic of arrests 30-39 who should know better.
Smack, spice and ketamine are lesser problems in this area thankfully but seem to be increasing in use nationwide. I know Swansea and the rest of Wales has its problems with them from what I read and friends and family tell me.
Broken Britain - you gotta love it !!

I was a big fan of Romanian reds in the 90s and 00s but they have been hard to get hold of for some time now, Sainsburys in Camden was the last vestige about 7 years ago..
THey started of at £2.99 a bottle and were remarkable for that price back when basic off licence plonk was around a £5. Loads of Romanian shops in the UK now of course but I suspect they will have a terrific mark up on them....
When the Swans were in Europe we stayed in Bucharest and spent an afternoon in the old town with a bottle or two watching the world go by and again wasn't disappointed for house red it was very nice...

Heh!
Two of Utah's finest came knocking on our door when I was a kid one Sunday afternoon in the late 70s.
My Mam answered the door, my Dad was in the lounge with me both glued to the Big Match.
"Who is it?" he shouted...
"It's the Mormon Church Mal..."
"Tell them it's Sunday and they can go kiss my arse !" he shouted back..
"WELL WELL WELL !" said the Mormons and off they went
Mam went bright red with embarassment slammed the front door shut and gave my Dad a right earful...
I was in stitches...  [Post edited 2 Mar 0:39]

It's a common misconception that Channel 4 produces its own programming and content. It's a public service broadcaster but unlike the BBC and its licence fee it gets its revenue from advertsing and other commercial ventures. It commissions content from independent production companies like Endemol etc who pitch an idea and are then told yay or nay to go off and make it.
The requirement to obtain all content externally was stipulated in its licence back in 1982. Even C4 News is produced by ITN and broadcast from its playout centre in Greys Inn Rd and not at Horseferry. or Leeds Or at least it did when I worked there over 15 years ago.
Film 4 is somewhat an exception in that it was originally Channel 4 Films a private production company that was the brainchild of Dickie Attenborough and funded by C4 itself, No idea how they got around the rules on that one but I never did find out although I suspect the co-production element with other film companies and that the films are for wider commercial release and not specifically made for TV like the BBC's Screen Two series whch gave us Gary Oldman's The Firm etc...
Anyway a moot point but thought it may be of interest.... :)
I take your point about the Guardian though which is why so many Tories from Thatcher to Sunak have wanted to privitise it. |

Starmer has just been interviewed after the UN call this evening....
Apparently he told the UN that if the situation escalates any further he'll be forced to pull all British diplomatic staff out of the Embassies in Bradford, Birmingham, Luton & Leicester....

Agree with you on the timing.
It's the usual bluster from the Iranians but already there seems to be, from reports this evening, that the military are waving the white flag.
Will the people get on the streets again after the crackdowns? Takes guts but I don't see they have a choice really - economy is trashed, years of oppression...
Worst case scenario is civil war but there's probably a % lower in the decimals that want their country to carry on as before.
Next few weeks will be interesting |
