morrisons funnily enuf has 2 stores near my house one 10mins walk away one 15 mins walk away pretty retarded to buiild to giant stores so close, tesco is near me to but you need a car and it take like 6mins or so

RIAA!!

Lets talk about them for a bit.. simply cos I find this fucking funny. The very music artists the RIAA are supposed to be helping are thinking about taking legal action against the RIAA as after 3+ years the RIAA haven't given those artists a single penny back of their "losses" due to piracy. So it seems, even the people the RIAA are supposed to be helping hate them :roll:

Heres a good british discussion topic: twats in pubs. My latest experience has been tonight, but hell we all like ranting about twats in pubs.

Anyway, said twat in the pub tonight is some guy called adrian, nobody likes him, and pretty much just gets a sympathy vote from one girl we all know. So everybody gets a good idea about how much of a twat this adrian is, heres a quick description; He shows off a lot an is blatantly bullshitting, makin him look like a prick further. He also tries to intimidate people where he thinks hes the "hard man", and even yells his own name (yeah, you read that right) All in all a complete knobshine.

So, tonight he as usual acts like the faggot he is, only this time it was directed at me, big mistake. I just tell him to fuck off with a few other choice words, just letting him know I'm not intimidated, he skulks off never to return :roll:

On the plus side 7 weeks or so an hes gone for good, moving to Newcastle :D Hope he enjoys championchip football lol.

So, who else has a story of some twat at a pub?

Agreed, personally I am a supporter of the Death Sentence, a life for a life and all that however I do beleive that there should be caveats within that policy, for example, anyone found running decent PC hardware on an un-named cheap 500W PSU with a 50% efficiency rating and just 10A on the 12V line should die also :D Preferrably very slow and painfully, maybe crocodile clips on the nipples linked to a 12V Battery set up under a buffalo who of course would be pissing on the battery...... shocking!

I am too but you can't go around killing everyone. Needs to be like 100% DNA proof that kind of thing. Anyway instead of going to jail for silly things you should get a fine, then a mark on your criminal record, then jail if your a repeat offender. Also jails here are too leniant, They remind me of the mess halls onboard ships at the RN except bigger :wtf:

Why cant you go around killing everyone?..... Murderers do :) If a jury is good enough to convict to a life sentance, it's good enough to convict to a death sentance IMO, anyways, in all honesty, it's more about the deterrent, fact is less people would commit murder if they knew they would die for it. Anyone found guilty for murdering young children should be tortured first for 7 days before being put out of their misery :eek:

Can't go around killing them because, If I killed someone in my self defence then I could be convicted as a murderer in this country which is rediculous. Anyway I agree that if they jury could convict them then they could only have done so with sufficient evidence.

You would not be convicted for murder if you killed someone in self defence, not never, there is a rule of "minimum force" within the law, which basically means that the Force you use to defend yourself must be relative to the threat, so if a guy attacks you with his fists and you pull out a shotgun and shoot him you will most certainly go to prison, however, if he pulls out a gun, fires, misses and you then pull out a shotgun and kill him....... thats fine, providing the shotgun is registered of course :)

What about if I kill him with a punch ? Like broke his nose and he died because of a blood clot ?
