Gloucestershire: Man ‘goes to hospital with WW2 shell stuck in bottom’ as bomb squad called

www.msn.com

Someone must be making these up or this sick fecker has a problem

The Daily Mail leads their article with 'I've got a problem with my arsenal doc'!
Hahahahahahaha! Slipped and fell on it! Indeed, slipped and fell my arse!

My wife related a similar tale circa 1980 of an estate agent in Surrey who attended A&E having ‘slipped while putting out the milk bottles.’ It was the talk of the hospital. They couldn’t grip the thing and withdrawal was creating a vacuum……. Fear of breakage inhibited radical action.

They ended up with the dentists. They used a dental drill to puncture the base and admit air and used a bent wire to retrieve….

If that’s the actual shell, it’s been fired and the scoring on the drive band that engages with the rifling would be ‘more than itchy’

Gives a hole new meaning to rim fire (sic).

Well if that's all the sympathy you lot can offer the poor chap, you can stick it up your arse!!

Last night I came across an article about a refugee from Afghanistan who has been given a house in Wick complaining about how bad it is to live in a remote area of Scotland and that his wife, who he has gotten pregnant since coming to Britain isn't getting good enough treatment on the NHS. Personally I'd strap the prick to a missile and fire him back to Afghanistan ungrateful bastard. Give the house to a homeless serviceman.

I know what you mean Marty but have you ever been to Wick? It’s why the Vikings struck South……

Wick Harbour 1865 with over 1,000 Herring boats. The desecration of fishing waters puts climate change into perspective. The fish didn’t swim North!

Hah! Wait until its due and she has to go to Inversnakey for the birth.... Mind, the state of the A9 might bounce it out on the way down.

I very rarely go to Wick. With good reason. Old Pulteny whisky is OK though, and the Heritage centre is well worth a visit if you have the time.

I now have even less reason to go there.

It will be okay @Big Sandy a good spread of Ice on those long down hill stretches back to wick plenty of run off sand pitts to stop them, fancy putting a Afgani in a place like that they may as well have painted them dayglow they will stand out like a sore thumb

 

[MartytheMartian]

I'm guessing they simply didn't have anywhere else to stick the bugger with so many of them coming in and the UK already in the middle of a housing crisis. You can bet that as soon as a cushy five bedroom billet opens up in Bradford or somewhere with good Mosque's, Islamic schools, benefits and an active Al Qaeda cell he will get first dibs on it.

I once got in a fight over the use of the word 'Wickers' for people from Wick.

Maybe it was cos I asked what they call folks from Nigg......

Just getting your Wickers in a twist?

I nearly put this in the joke section...

BBC News - What are President Biden's challenges at the border?

What are President Biden's challenges at the border?

He has faced a spike in border crossings and criticism over deportations among other concerns.

Looks like Prez Biden has had a reality check

I liked Wick back in the 90s… They had a nice coastal walk and a good Indian restaurant.

Some time ago control of the courts was taken over centrally from previously local control, as was also policing, and with the introduction of Police & Crime Commissioners and also increasing the power of Mayors policing has become politicised. Now it appears that the government are trying to get control over the judges. This government really is starting to look more and more like a tyranny, this possibly could be used in a very sinister way to punish any dissent in the future, or to give politicians and their mates a get out of jail free card .

And I thought that WE had it bad…

Called into Merc this morning.
When I'm opening my socks, pants & Poundland aftershave on Christmas day. I shall think of this image of how the other half live ...


In case the price ticket in the window is too small to see?..

Apparently it's an Approved "Used" car? £109,000 & not even brand new FFS!
Smart gift though & it beats the hell out of socks & pants

They let you in?!

They don't like me in the showroom Sarky. Apparently it's bad for business. I'm encouraged to sit in the lounge area behind a large pot plant. Or better still outside & well away from the main entrance!

 

[Sarky B’stard]

Reminds me of Lionel Ritchie talking about his early reception in a Cadillac showroom. They rang the record company to verify his financial status and he then bought one for each of his band mates too!

I’m seeing a resemblance
