Or if only there existed a large difficult to open with force box that firearms could be stored in some place nice and safe to store them. This large box would also help prevent firearm theft as it could be large and very bulky and possibly attached to a concrete floor. As an added bonus you could line the inside of the box with firebrick to provide fire protection and you could also put a box of silica pellets in it to keep the humidity down and prevent rust.
That wont work. Remember, the US is full of evil hobos, drug gangs and government agents who will burst through your front door AT ANY TIME to kill your loved ones!!! You need a loaded gun on your table, in your coffee cup and taped to the TV remote so you can Defend Your Family(TM) at a moments notice.
If only the UK could be as safe as Switzerland where every home is required to keep at least one military-grade weapon.
What good would that do? The Swiss no longer issue ammo to keep at home. I guess you could club someone to death with your rifle, but there are better tools for that.
It really has to burn a serf like yourself, our wonderful 2nd Amendment. After all, it was the fact that the average American took up arms and fought your evil empire, pushing over the dominoes of your empire's fall. Now you are a pathetic joke, dependent upon us lest your former subjects turn and rend you all into corpses. I can understand the resentment from a weakling as yourself.
I watched yesterday a video of one of your enemies, standing in your street, hands bloodied, his victim laying dead in the streets. The cows are indeed coming home, as we say here. You in your arrogance, in your superior thinking and ways, have become quite the fools. You have let in your country, in your neighborhoods, an enemy that will be your undoing.
So by all means, mock us, the last super power, the last free people. We shall snack on popcorn while we listen to your pathetic mewling, and spectate as you, the fallen empire, reaps the whirlwind of your own folly and at last crumble to dust.
So please, keep ranting, it's vastly amusing. By the way, you have a little spittle at the corner of your mouth. I thought I should point it out, you being so proper and all.
All your guns have failed to prevent the TSA, Guantanamo Bay, the military-prison-industrial complex or even warrant-less wire-tapping. Looks like your guns are a safety blanket you wave about while ranting that you "could" overthrow your evil TSA-loving overlords and bring about wonderful Freedom, you just choose not to right now.
Im sure you have to go. I expect there will be the weekly pile of dead school kids for you to bury.
It's not sexist, it's entirely based on behaviour. No matter if you're male or female, with an accident they have to pay for, your premium goes up. A year without any payment on their side, your premium goes down.
The nasty side effect is of course that a lot of people drive away from an accident if they think nobody saw them ramming that parked car...
It is sexist. The GP is referring to the scenario where a man and a woman start out with no previous driving experience and both get a quote on the same car. The man will have to pay more just because he is a man.
Were you aware that 87 Sharia courts now operate in Britian (sp).
Those have absolutely zero legal power in any of the 3 UK legal systems and only work because all parties agree to it due to their faith. It's no different than settling out of court. A sharia court could not order someone to be stoned to death here without all involved being arrested for murder.
I forgot to add my example for illustration. Imagine being in New Hampshire now where the gun laws are fairly liberal and getting licensed to own firearms is generally a non-issue, to now being a member of my state, Massachusetts, where the local sheriff can deny your license for just any old reason, up to including he doesn't like your haircut. I'm sure there wouldn't be riots, protests, demonstrations, and just a general displeasure over that one issue in one area alone. Now multiple that buy thousands of areas and thousands of issues. Want a few more: income tax, property tax, and sales tax.
Do you mean a licence to carry or a licence to just own a gun?
The question is also misapplied. Trevor Baylis is not a good poster child for "ripped-off" inventors. First of all, he did not invent the wind up radio.
That did not stop him for demanding patent infringement to be made a criminal offence. BBC article
I've been looking forward to having a gaming Linux box for a long time, I know there aren't a lot of games but I'll buy pretty much whatever is available.
Then do it now. All Linux games are on sale with 75-80% off until Feb 21st.
It's called the Schengen Agreement, and while for most people it's the easy way to travel around Europe, a lot of it is about policing and criminals as well. Basically, yes the French police can cross borders into almost all neighboring countries (not the UK or Andorra I don't think).
I don't think there's much danger of most European police forces involved in a "hot pursuit" crossing the border into the UK.
Ahh, but the interpretations are just fancy wrapping around what is actually the theory: the mathematical framework, and the bits you measure. I would argue that interpretations are completely irrelevant: you could say that an interpretation of Newton's theory of gravity is that angels are responsible for pushing bodies towards each other as a proportion of their mass and inverse proportion on the square of their radii.
It's a daft interpretation, but doesn't change the maths.
But should you pray to the angels in case they stop pushing?

I thought it said EUROPE. eruopA makes so much more sense
No, it should say Europe. Budget cuts and all that....
Or did you miss the story about the NHS killing off 130,000 elderly patients a year
Its a Daily Mail article, so it can be dismissed as grossly inaccurate (at best). I'm sure they blamed immigrant doctors, too.
Until an earthquake comes along, then they're made of rubble.
Because Britain is really earthquake-prone........
guns are the longest lived of any technological artifact in the world.
What about the wheel?

I also think that we'd like to imagine that were he on the net vanity searching, he might want to know he'll be missed and remembered.
He said he is setting up a website for people to leave him messages. The site is not up yet so I cant post a link.

Of course kids these days probably don't know what a phone box is (or was).
Sure they do. It's the packaging their iPhone came in.
This is easily fixed by making access to porn an opt-out option with your ISP. br It already happens with mobile internet providers and works well.
FTFY. You want to block porn, YOU make the effort.
Texas bans robots.

FTFY?
it might be North West England but it's middle-ish of Britain ......

mind you the wa things are going Scotland will leave the UK next year anyways... still for accuracy's sake.. at the moment it's NOWHERE NEAR NORTH WEST BRITAIN!
I always smile when I hear about "the Northwest" and realise I have to drive south for 3 hours to get to it.

The word you are looking for is "cue".
This is a story about the UK, so queue is correct. Everyone will politely wait their turn to post.
Don't know about Scotland, but it is usually the world leader in nanny state legislation.
None up here, unless the supermarkets levy it themselves (eg Marks & Spencer). The main supermarkets are levy-free.

Screw him.
People who are big fans of it see it as a great gift to be able to buy Half-Life for $8 even though they bought it for $40 the first time
You can enter the cd key from your original Half-Life CD and it will accept it. No need to rebuy.

Except in Northern Ireland.
Wait 'til we get to the 911th Pope, who will be elected during the month of September.
Im waiting for the 666th Pope. That would be interesting.
