Harleyman Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Hooligans and drunks are the main problem in England today. It's just not in the big cities either. Even smaller towns that were really pleasant places that I knew seem to have drunken chavs yelling and shouting on the streets at chucking out time. Social standards and behaviour have definitely taken a nose dive in the last three decades. Some years ago I paid a visit to a town I lived in for several years. I told my bro-in-law I was going to take a late night walk in the *********neighbourhood where my former house was and have a look at the old place. "Dont want to go there now mate. Even a bloke your size isn't safe" he replied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleyman Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Who the Wednesday in basketball! Remember! Wednesday a Prem club in the wrong division! Don't tell me you are a exiled blade! Too many of them on here!! Wednesday fan born and bred but they dont seem to be the team that I knew. Mind you I'm going back a spell The Dooley and Quixall days. Those were the days when players were the genuine article and not the overpaid prima donnas with 400 guinea hair dos you see around today. Anyway. Got a date with a golf club so gotta go.

Phanerothyme Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 North Dakota has a very low crime rate (but whether it's the lowest I wouldn't know). That's because it's legal to carry a firearm in that state if it's registered and you a citizen/permanent resident with no criminal record I think that's probably more to do with the population density than anything else.

ArchViz Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 A 22-STONE woman has lost 12 stone after being told she was too fat to start a new life in Canada. Wouldn't it have been a lot easier to put on 12 stone and start a new life in America? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchViz Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 You know you're American when: You talk non stop about living in the greatest country on earth despite the fact that only 18% of your population even has a passport, let alone seen another country. You sterilize the needles you use to administer the lethal injection. You are proud of living in a 'land of the free' which happens to hold 20% of the worlds prison population, as well as having the largest proportion of people in jail of any population on earth. You worry that 21 is too young an age to drink but not that having 50,000 handgun murders a year is a problem. You criticize a democrat candidate for being socialist, while the republican president socializes your entire national economy (you are now the equal and socialist sponsors of Man Utd thanks to Bush) without you noticing or caring. You only enter wars to defend democracy when the opposite side declare war on you, but happily start wars that you lose with tin pot dictators all over the world. You spend more on defence than education or health. Your idea of a healthy option is a diet coke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchViz Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Here's one for Buck. The US and British Navy were recently on manoeuvres in the Persian gulf. The communications officer on the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise sent a radio message to the British carrier HMS Illustrious - " And how's the 2nd biggest Navy in the world today then??" To which the Illustrious officer responded - " Fine. How's the 2nd best ??" Night all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
