Saint in Paradise

Some clarification about how good a shooter Mr Oswald was...he wasn't anything like as good as some think. For those not familiar with those terms, a marksman is the lowest possible ranking given to a shooter. Barely above the minimum requirements to pass. Sharpshooter is decent. But he only shot that once. (The next step up is Expert. Not terribly difficult to obtain but you do have to be a damn good shot. )

Ref JFK murder have a look at this TV prog that was on Aussie TV a few days ago. http://www.sbs.com.au/thesmokinggun/ .

has its new aircraft carriers to combat this Chinese lot...............oh They have really been catching up and overtaking the U.K. in "defence" matters or should that really be an "ability to wage war" on a massive scale?

That would only apply if the reporter couldn't speak and write in English.

The very last photo has an interesting history and has a statue in San Diego. There was a segment on "Mysteries at the museum" just last week about it. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2276366/Times-Square-kiss-Statue-famous-moment-end-World-War-II-installed-San-Diego.html

Don't forget the RAF as well as the RN. I know some love to hate everything about Portsmouth and not just the football team but I really have sympathy for Anyone who has his job taken away.

When Saints lose any game I find it sad, the bigger the loss the longer I feel that. However I got over this loss within only a minute or so. IMHO Saints have made it very plain that the P.L. is the be all and end all and will be for a long time, or at least until they have built up a very strong squad where even if 3 or 4 get injured it won't effect the team.Then they may take all of the domestic Cup competitions very seriously.

Well he should have used Mastercard or even American Express then when his Visa card was refused.

A woman went into a store to buy her husband a pet for his birthday. After looking around, she found that all the pets were very expensive. She told the clerk she wanted to buy a pet, but she didn't want to spend a fortune. 'Well,' said the clerk, 'I have a very large bullfrog. They say it's been trained to give blow jobs!' 'Blow jobs!' the woman replied. It hasn't been proven but we've sold 30 of them this month,' he said. The woman thought it would be a great gag gift, and what if it's true... No more blow jobs for her! She bought the frog. When she explained froggy's ability to her husband, he was extremely skeptical and laughed it off!... The woman went to bed happy, thinking she may never need t o perform this less than riveting act again. In the middle of the night, she was awakened by the noise of pots and pans flying everywhere, making hellacious banging and crashing sounds. She ran downstairs to the kitchen, only to find her husband and the frog reading cook books. 'What are you two doing at this hour?' she asked. The husband replied, 'If I can teach this frog to cook... you're gone.'

Very lucky in my opinion to escape prison. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-24716257 I don't understand the following bit though as I was under the impression that if you don't have a licence you can't get insurance ? Surely he must realise he was guilty of that yet:- "He pleaded not guilty to a charge of driving with no insurance and that will be dealt with at a magistrates court." No evidence was offered on a charge of making a false statement to obtain insurance, and a verdict of not guilty was given."

Have a look at this website. http://www.xcweather.co.uk/ Easy to follow.

Indeed, as much as I am loving the season so far I do remember 2 little points. 1) This is Saints we are talking about 2) Remember W.B.A. last season ? Oh yes and MP better be careful as I am sure NC won't be happy with only 2 - 0 scores he will want higher ones as goal difference can make a difference over a season.

Pandas have thousands more points than skates do.

Come to Rotorua NZ then. I despair with the local Judges, what the cops think I suspect can't be printed. They go to all of this trouble:- Police are warning Rotorua motorists to think twice before drinking and driving this Labour Weekend, especially on rural roads where most drink-driving fatalities occur. Rotorua district road police will be highly visible breath testing drivers and enforcing holiday period speed limits this weekend. Two Court case results from this week alone:- A Waikite Valley woman on her fifth drink-driving charge has been sentenced to home detention. Alissha Arahanga, 36, was sentenced in the Rotorua District Court this week to three months' home detention after previously pleading guilty to one charge of drink-driving and one charge of driving while disqualified. Judge James Weir said in all instances, apart from her first conviction, Arahanga had been more than twice the legal limit. Defence lawyer Dafydd Malcolm said Arahanga had shown sincere remorse. ( WOW!! Big deal I wonder if it was because she had been caught yet again ? ) Then this case, A self-confessed alcoholic on her ninth drink-driving charge asked a Rotorua judge to send her to jail. Fiona Johnson, 43, got her wish yesterday when she was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment, after earlier admitting drink-driving and driving while disqualified. Johnson had eight previous drink-driving and 11 previous driving while disqualified convictions. Just found this from last month, I suppose it's a bit better but as we all know the sentence is never fully served. A Rotorua judge has jailed two repeat drink drivers for 18 months each - telling one that at least behind bars he couldn't kill anyone by driving drunk. Mark Malone Toetoe, 44, and Raymond Tumarae Te Papa, 53, appeared separately in the Rotorua District Court on Monday, both having pleaded guilty to driving with excess breath alcohol. It was Toetoe's eighth drink-driving conviction and Te Papa's seventh. They were both also indefinitely disqualified from driving. ( This never seems to stop people they still get caught driving without a licence ) .

Many a true word is spoken in jest, lets face it cyclists especially those who dress in lycra are blasted menaces to normal road users. That bike person probably really upset someone with his riding.

Well looking at that photo I presume the womans feet are the only ones that don't smell seeing as the two blokes have oversized covers on their feet.?

It's funny really as the vast majority of supporters for any team other than the so called big time charlies all say the same thing about so called big club syndrome. However all the time the mainly London media keep banging on about how wonderful anyone who plays/is on the bench for them is then I suspect the England manager ( whoever he is ) will only have the nerve to pick someone from another team now and then. He will know that if/when the media turn against him his days are numbered.

Over here we get the official TV channels for Arsenal, Spurs, Man City and Man Utd so most of the time I can only see Saints when they play them. TVNZ did show the Liverpool game but they stopped the tape every 20 minutes to show adverts then restarted the tape. The first 3 are of course a bit biased but the commentators on Man Utd are way over the top in bias. Some ex player is quite sickening actually so I have to watch with the sound off otherwise a new TV would be needed.

Well the OP has been given some very good advice but at his age........ he will almost certainly ignore it as he "will know better than any of you". :rolleyes: My advice would be to do what I did a few months ago.... RETIRE !!!!!! and then all work problems just fade away :lol:

Younger sisters less promiscuous http://health.msn.co.nz/healthnews/8740831/younger-sisters-less-promiscuous Younger sisters tend to learn from their older sisters' mistakes and are less likely to have casual sex, according to US researchers.

Harsh but fair IMHO :lol:

Agree 100%

I really cannot understand any supporter choosing country over club, it is only a game not a blasted war when lives depend on the outcome. A Saints win at OT is much more important for them than a win for England who will still have another chance at scrapping through via the play-off games. People on here always moan about the old guard letting England down at major tournaments so if England don't qualify they can get rid sooner rather than later and give more youngsters a start with less pressure on them.
