"Game" Over. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/4487366.stm The background is sad. But "The End does not justify The means." Mike.

There speaks someone who's never been closer to Brum (the City, not the engaging BBC-Kids toy car) than New Zealand. Frankly I am jealous of you. I wish Birmingham was 12,000 miles away from me! Brummies are dangerous to world advancement! For example, would Einstein have been taken seriously if he had proposed the "Ffeoroye oif relavitoye"? Would Einstein have been taken seritiously if he'd been called "Oinstoin" in the "foist" place!? Would The british Empire have surived on Bovril instead of TEA? It's certain that India, "The Jewel in The Crown" was singularly bereft of Bovril Plants!!! WHere would "Groit Britt'n" be with Noddy Holder as it's icon!? I further ask that the great & intelligent folk on this forum consider that the defence of Brummies is made by a man in a scary face paint/tattoo when pronouncing their judgement! Mike. PS: Yeah... It's a personal attack on Brummies! So what? It's right & fair! Boirmingham is considered the DEAD centre of Britain for a reason!

Not someone. The GOVERNMENT! The Government that decides what IS right in THEIR country! Personally I don't like what's happening, but I do understand it and I understand the origins of this insanity. Personally I'd start with 100years in jail & discounts for information & results... BUT... I'm not the Singapore Government. I KNOW that this 21 year-old unfortunate is just some thicko lured by a free holiday & some easy cash! Or maybe he's an addict doing this to clear his drugs debt. But I can't sympathise with him. He gambled knowing the downside of this particular gamble. His "Co-operation is nice, but it's co-operation AFTER being caught! Co-operation BEFORE being caught would have been treated very differently. Mike.

Personally, I am completely against capital punishment. BUT... Singapore makes their views on drug smugglers VERY public, VERY plain, & VERY simple. ALL people entering Singapore are TOLD: "WE EXECUTE DRUGS SMUGGLERS!" There's NO ifs. NO buts. NO maybes. NO exceptions. "YOU SMUGGLE DRUGS, YOU DIE"" First... If despite these warnings you decide to smuggle drugs, then be aware that you're gambling with your life! The idea is that you DON'T do it 'cos it's not worth the gamble. Unfortunately, in order to maintain the credibility of this deterrent.... Second... Remember that this law was enacted because of the demands made by First-World Governments (Australia included) to alleviate their drugs problems! I'm afraid that this guy gambled and he lost. Pour Encourager Les Autres. Or as Stalin put it: "Shoot one man, encourage 10,000!" Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

It amuses me that while the First-World Governments put pressure on Singapore, Thailand, etc... to crack down on people smuggling drugs out of their countries, those same countries get all upset at "Barbaric" punishments for the very crimes they wanted stopped! In the UK Heroin has a "street price" around £100 ($170, Eu150) a gramme. So this guy was smuggling around 1 Million Australian Dollars (DON'T laugh) worth of drugs! Now... Singapore makes absolutely NO secret of their draconian drugs punishments - In fact they ram the fact that drugs smugglers risk execution down visitors' throats. So it's their country. Their law. The guy is getting what he risked. NO SYMPATHY! Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Best of luck wiff that mate! My money's on the Brummies having the wheels off yer tanks before you've cleared the M5 slip road! Then, while you're reeling from the 1st.Btn, Brummie Ghetto Blasters frontal assault wiff Slade's Greatest Hits (BOTH of them), The Banghra Brigade'll overrun you from the East! You'll be lucky to make it back down the M40 alive & un-dreadlocked! Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Yep... The big deal is that Iraq WAS invaded because of Saddam's use of chemical weapons against people (like the time he bombarded Kurdish villages & Iranian Army attacks with white phosphorous! From this video it appears that US forces have sunk to the same level! Then again, maybe this amount of white phosphorous was simply used as a signal? Mike.

Like this one? Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.

Actually No! The keyboards are all fine. It's just the common keyboard problems that beset any inbred community: Problems like an unusual number of excessively webbed fingers, or a total lack of intelligence... The usual stuff. If you want a real laugh, ask the Welsh about their parliament! Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

no no; the guy in the picture definitely has bear arms. Yeah... But my pic's funnier! Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.

I thought it was "Fluffy Bunnies or ARMED BEARS!"... One to give folk a cute food supply... The other to make Rednecks' Hunting Trips a better spectator sport.

Can't we come to some sort of reasonable compromise here? Surely the sole reason for the continued existence of The Welsh is for The English & The Irish to lash out at each other without actually damaging anything useful or valuable! Mike. Edited to add: Unless someone... ANYONE... can think of any practical use for The Welsh? Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Same as NacMac - maybe a bit old, achy, and short-winded to run around in a uniform. BUT... Were we to be invaded then I'd actively resist. Anyway, nowadays my mindset leans more toward bomb-making, assassination, and mixing rat poison in bread... Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

OK... That's it... Been here before in this forum... "Mikee-D no here! He reave velly long time! Go rong way away! No reave forward address! This Chinese raundly shop and take-away lestaulant now! Velly solly!" Legards, Wan Hun Glo. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.

Isn't advocating [flash]Gun Control[/flash] on the basis of intelligence a self-defeating proposal? Mike. PS. I'll just go away and hide for a while until everyone realises IT WAS KALLEND who opened this particular can of worms!!! Mike.

I understand that the term Union "Jack" dated back to the Battle of Camperdown along with the term "Nailing Your Colours to The Mast". Then again, like Jack Crawford I am a native of Sunderland so this particular historical claim may have a biased pedigree. Mike.

Err... The "Union Jack" is in fact a flag. Specifically it's the Union Flag when flown from the Jackstaff of a vessel (or even on occasion a building)! Mike.

I'm guessing that burning a French flag (in particular the white bit) would be a serious crime. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.

i would imagine you get that responce quite often from people Speaking from experience, are we? Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.

Personally I believe that this particular tragedy was very much a keeping firearms safe & secure issue! 1. Keep your gun secure from small children! 2. Keep your gun secure from small children! 3. Keep your gun secure from small children! 4. Keep your gun secure from small children! 5. Keep your gun secure from small children! 6... 7... 8...Etc... If a 3 year old can get to your gun without you noticing, then could a burglar or a thief!!? Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Hi Christel, By Jimbo I meant our Hooded Castillian Lothario, Skyrad. It's obvious from previous posts that Karen (Kbordson) would prefer to see more exposed flesh in his avatar! I was therefore suggesting that it may be doplomatic for us to withdraw before we risk getting embarrassed at any subsequent pics! THat way they can continue to exchange pics & posts without fear of us peeking. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Maybe we should just leave this thread to Karen & Jimbo...[kiss] Just remember we want invites to the Wedding or Co-Habitation ceremony! AS far as the hood goes... Either OFF or BACKWARDS please!

Err... Dunno... I just did an image search for "American Arse Syringe" and picked the one that didn't have some political figure in it! Mike.

In some way it IS a bad thing! I know that the various Kilt Sellers of Scotland really want more Americans coming here to absorb the culture, the history, and incidentally buy McSchwartzenburger, MacVincente & McPodulski clan tartans! The more Americans we have with passports, the healthier our MacInitup Tartan industy is.
