I think it’s taxidermy, I really do. Perhaps someone told him to get stuffed and he’s looking into it?:D

O.K. PeeDee, As no one else has asked, I will, why do you need ammonia?.

I came back to this thread expecting an answer…still waiting

He might have a nasty red wine stain that he wants to clean out of a carpet or, as it may be, a patch of mildew to eradicate.

No, I had absolutely no expectation of an apology.
As you described the Commander as “our old friend” I presumed that you and others here knew him personally.
And, since I have no line to carry on with, there is nothing to take to PMs.
By: Grey Area - 27th March 2011 at 08:15
Perhaps you would be gracious enough to apologise for your comments.
Oh, I do hope you’re not holding your breath while you wait. Something about “heat” and “kitchens” springs to mind.
If you really want to carry on this line, take it to PMs and spare others the tedium of watching two grown men arguing with one another.
Incidentally, I do not know the Commander personally, but by implication you and others here do.
He was the Metropolitan Police operational commander responsible for policing yesterday’s event.

You do yourself no favours by making a false accusation of my intentions, and by failing to take account of the original tone of this thread.
I am delighted that so many people were able to demonstrate peacefully and appalled that the demonstration was marred, as in so many other cases, by the criminal activities of a minority.

Read #3 – in the context of the thread’s title. If you are still confused I cannot help you any further……..
No confusion on my part.
But, there again, I’m not the one who was attempting to use the actions of a tiny minority to paint a distorted picture of a successful and peaceful demonstration by a quarter of a million people.
Our old friend, Commander Broadhurst of the Met, again: “This is just mindless vandalism, hooliganism, it’s nothing to do with the protest.”
Mind you, I can understand why some might be disappointed that such a large protest took place in the first place, let alone that it was so well-organised and well-policed.

Taxidermy perhaps?

I’ve been surprised for the past decade or so that ammonia is still available over the Counter. Hence my stocking up, 6 bottles should last me two years.
……how many protests will that last for then?:eek:

Which post was that, then? :confused:
By: Sky High - 26th March 2011 at 20:01
I am not trying to distort any facts and made the point in my post that it was a minority. I was merely responding to an earlier post within the context of the thread.
By: Grey Area - 26th March 2011 at 19:55
No doubt a minority but nevertherless wanton violence.
According to numbers being quoted by the Met, much less than half of one percent in fact.
Commander Broadhurst again: “Unfortunately we have had a group of approximately 500 criminals committing some disorder including throwing paint at Topshop in Oxford Street and at the police, and scaring the public who are trying to shop.”
Do the sums for yourself, Sky High. 500 out of a quarter of a million.
It does seem perverse to use the actions of such a miniscule minority – who had little or nothing to do with the actual protest organised by the TUC – to distort the fact of a such massive, peaceful and, above all, well-organised and well-policed demonstration.
By: Sky High - 26th March 2011 at 19:46
Anti-capitalists and anarchists attacked branches of HSBC, Lloyds and Santander banks as well as McDonalds, Topshop and Dorothy Perkins.
The windows of the Ritz hotel and an Ann Summers store in Soho were smashed.
Light bulbs filled with ammonia and paint bombs were thrown in Oxford Street, police said. Scuffles broke out as riot police attempted to section off the protesters.
Meanwhile, a groups calling itself UK Uncut occupied the department store Fortnum and Mason over what it described as its parent comany’s “£40m tax dodge”.
In Picadilly this evening protesters continued to smash the fronts of banks, wrecking cashpoints.
No doubt a minority but nevertherless wanton violence.

Nothing like a peaceful demo?
“The main TUC march has been going well. We have had more than a quarter of a million people with hardly any problems”…… Commander Bob Broadhurst, Metropolitan Police.
But guess what tomorrow’s headlines will be all about………….. :rolleyes:
By: Sky High - 26th March 2011 at 19:35
Yesterday, I bought 6 bottles of Ammonia from my local “Arkwright” store.
Today, Ammonia filled light bulbs were used in the riots in London.
Not me Guv.
Nothing like a peaceful demo……:rolleyes::mad:
