sayjann Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 RY that wont happen as described. The Daily Mail is a hideous right-wing newspaper/rag read by elderly conservatives with very low IQ. Everyone in the UK knows this. Amusing that you use them. i read the Mail....... :thumbup: neither elderly or conservative but you probably got the low IQ bit right....... but i only read for the sports section and the problem page.............

rogueyam Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Flipping madness! Police offer free flip-flops to binge drinkers who keep falling over in heels By Luke Salkeld Daily Mail 27th November 2008 Itsh not their fault, you shee. Itsh the shoesh. Drunk women who stagger about in high heels are to be protected - at public expense - from twisting their ankles. They will be handed flip-flops to wear by police outside nightclubs as they wend their way home. The scheme is part of a £30,000 drive by police and councillors to prevent 'alcohol-related harm'. It has been prompted by fears that women wearing stilettos or similar footwear could tumble over. Officials also claim that female revellers are at risk of cutting the soles of their feet by walking barefoot. The flip-flops will be given to anyone whose footwear is 'uncomfortable, inappropriate or soiled' and will be paid for with a Home Office grant. The scheme is to begin next month in the centre of Torquay, Devon, a popular destination for hen and stag parties. It will be run by Safer Communities Torbay, a partnership between police, Torbay Council and the Local Education Authority. Police officers will carry bags of coloured flip-flops on their rounds and will hand them to those who look unsteady on their feet. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogueyam Posted December 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 From Times Online December 24, 2008 Iran's Ahmadinejad to give alternative Christmas message Jewish groups were up in arms today when it was revealed that Channel 4's "alternative" Christmas Day broadcast is to be delivered by President Ahmadinejad of Iran. Mr Ahmadinejad's speech will go out at 7.15pm, four hours after the Queen's traditional Christmas Day message is broadcast on the main channels. His message is a spiritual one but includes some more nakedly political elements - including the implicit claim that if Jesus Christ were alive today, he would oppose US hegemony.

Link Why should Jews care what a non-Jew says about Christmas? As for Ahmadinejad's speech, I find nothing wrong with the following sentences. Actually what he says is right on. [color:red] â??If Christ was on Earth today undoubtedly he would hoist the banner of justice and love for humanity to oppose warmongers, occupiers, terrorists and bullies the world over. If Christ was on Earth today undoubtedly he would fight against the tyrannical policies of prevailing global economic and political systems, as He did in His lifetime.â? [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwoww Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Yeah but look what happened to Christ. He got crucified. By the Romans of course. Jews weren't involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
