Unless you’re blind, deaf, suffer life threatening blackouts/fits, disabled…
As long as they are trained and trusted?
Which all goes to show just how little you do understand, Snaff. Lumping together that list in your second paragraph shows you to be as out of touch as you imply I am.
Many of the things I grew up with are well consigned to the dustbin of history and many of the things which have replaced what I grew up with should also be consigned to the dustbin of history. And I know I am old, but serfdom, the feudal system, wattle and daub houses – don’t be that unkind!! Although I did live in a wattle and daub cottage a few years ago and very comfortable it was, too.
Out of touch? Did you not see the bit where I said it was a general thing, not aimed at one person? It was all tongue in cheek as I typed it – but that doesn’t show up too well in text…
In truth delivering that rag in much of the North West will only result in overloading the post boxes in the area, as there is a growing feeling for many, that should said rag land on doormat it will be promptly marked return to sender and dumped in a mail box.
Don’t forget the lies and cover ups, the blaming every one else except those responsible, made the hurt of the tragedy so much worse.
No no nononono! In this forum anything and everything that is written in the Sun is The Truth, you just can’t fight it.
Anyway, I heard on a phone in yesterday that it will be greatly appreciated as toilet paper to hang on the nail in their outside privies, if it is not put under their whippets first… (I think it was a joke)
No, it doesn’t; it’s simply another crude attempt at a wind-up, and is best ignored.
Crude?
…junk mail…
That’s the word I was looking for!
Probably cos no one watched it.
But nearly all the other crummy films he appeared in got mentioned; ok, I’ve not seen any of them (that I know of) but from that crummy film (not a patch on the Channel4 original) I found that scene amusing – that clip is his entire appearance in the film and, despite being way over the top, the best thing in it.
He was in An American Werewolf in London too…
It amused me to see the latest copy of Private Eye – the footballers getting off the plane with the pilot asking if he should keep the engines running…

It appalled me that the Sun (*hakk, spit*) went off into the Amazonian rain forest and ‘converted’ forest dwellers into England fans.
If you hang around here long enough the Eng-ger-lan fans will be along and ripping you – and me – a new one for not being patriotic enough…
Charlie, I quote you so that when you delete the above crass and grossly stupid statement this will still be here to shame you. Mods – Moggy: PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THIS ILL-INFORMED QUOTE.
So they weren’t all bad then!!:D
Do you seriously not know or understand what the Nazis were about, what they did to their own people, what the did to other nationalities, creeds, races, etc?
Maybe you should do some research into what happened in concentration camps, what abuse was carried out in the name of research by murderous sadists with official backing.
Here is a start:
Sterilization experiments
The Law for the Prevention of Genetically Defective Progeny was passed on 14 July 1933, which legalized the involuntary sterilization of persons with diseases claimed to be hereditary: weak-mindedness, schizophrenia, alcohol abuse, insanity, blindness, deafness, and physical deformities. The law was used to encourage growth of the Aryan race through the sterilization of persons who fell under the quota of being genetically defective. 1% of citizens between the age of 17 to 24 had been sterilized within 2 years of the law passing. Within 4 years, 300,000 patients had been sterilized. From about March 1941 to about January 1945, sterilization experiments were conducted at Auschwitz, Ravensbrück, and other places by Dr. Carl Clauberg. The purpose of these experiments was to develop a method of sterilization which would be suitable for sterilizing millions of people with a minimum of time and effort. These experiments were conducted by means of X-ray, surgery and various drugs. Thousands of victims were sterilized. Aside from its experimentation, the Nazi government sterilized around 400,000 individuals as part of its compulsory sterilization program. Intravenous injections of solutions speculated to contain iodine and silver nitrate were successful, but had unwanted side effects such as vaginal bleeding, severe abdominal pain, and cervical cancer. Therefore, radiation treatment became the favored choice of sterilization. Specific amounts of exposure to radiation destroyed a person’s ability to produce ova or sperm. The radiation was administered through deception. Prisoners were brought into a room and asked to complete forms, which took two to three minutes. In this time, the radiation treatment was administered and, unknown to the prisoners, they were rendered completely sterile. Many suffered severe radiation burns.
You get the picture?
Maybe the full story of Stalin’s own human experimentation will be made public, but in the meantime those Nazis experiments are one reason why many people don’t trust the claims of right wing fanatics that this sort of behaviour is a thing of the past – especially when the Serbs were found to be carrying out their own genocide, with massacres in towns and Bosnians herded into concentration camps; just one little step to experimenting on them, you know…
Oh a wind up! Now I get it – what a hoot! I’m doubled up laughing………..
Nurse! Get a nurse!
You mean to say people actually still read newspapers?
Hmm, interesting.
Quite a lot. Not as many as read the red-topped comics, but still.
Now, what do you have with wine…?

Hope we’ve got enough glasses…

Got just the thing for that…!

At the risk of invoking Godwins law, that is not a million miles away from something that the Nazis tried.
Let me explain something I was told a long, long time ago…

I’m not the one who posted such an offensive post.
There are wind ups and there are wind ups, but there are also things you really don’t make jokes about and that was one of them.
Have you done your research yet?
Head injury experiments
In mid-1942 in Baranowicze, occupied Poland, experiments were conducted in a small building behind the private home occupied by a known Nazi SD Security Service officer, in which “a young boy of eleven or twelve [was] strapped to a chair so he could not move. Above him was a mechanized hammer that every few seconds came down upon his head.” The boy was driven insane from the torture.
A wind up, you think? Or maybe a sick experiment, not to be made fun of?
And what about the innocents?
Or are there no innocents – like Boris and his quip about having done nothing to deserve being fired at by a water cannon – when the police draw a line?
Or are you going to be a little more formal?
