    Even worse than I realised. If I’ve counted correctly, there were no less than 38 school shooting incidents in the US last year; roughly one every 10 days. God Bless America.

    Saw a big notice in my surgery last week boasting that you can now book appointments up to 8 weeks in advance. Oh, if only people would be sensible enough to plan their illnesses 2 months beforehand, instead of falling ill whenever they feel like it, and then expecting to see a doctor that same week.

    Sorry Daz, that’s not the case. Both the moulds and decals were much, much later and only the header card was like the original. Bit of a rip-off IMHO in view of the way it was touted as a re-release of the original. More here-

    Airfix’s first Spitfire was BT-K, the infamous scaled down copy of Aurora’s 1/48th kit. Could this be a Frog “Penguin” model?

    But it’s worrying that more impressionable or less knowledgeable readers might believe what they are reading.

    I wouldn’t worry too much about that. The term “Sun Reader” itself is something of an oxymoron, and most of them only buy it for the pictures; or at least they did until Page Three was dropped.

    Maybe there is a place for their own internet video channel – “YouKnob” seems like a good name for the site…

    I wish we had a “Like” button here. 😀

    Hope we don’t regret all this soon. As someone above pointed out, England have a unique talent for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

    Can somebody clear something up for me too, please? The gun lobby claim the Constitution is inviolate and can never be changed, but surely the very fact that they got this archaic right to bear arms through the 2nd amendment makes a nonsense of that; if you can amend the constitution to bestow a right, surely it can also be amended to take that right away for the greater good?

    The Strongs join a growing number of families that are standing up for their 2nd Amendment rights by open carrying and bringing gun ownership out of the closet and into the mainstream.

    “Rights” above sanity.
