Renamed to what?One of the two "Black Boy" pubs in Bewdley has been renamed. No doubt you will know that the original Black Boy was a nickname given to King Charles 2nd.
The "George Floyd"...... Head, Arms..... Knee!

You couldn't make it up - Apparently the University of Northampton are placing a warning on George Orwell's 1984 saying it contains ideas and imagery that students might find disturbing. A book that warns of a society that tells you what to think and has 'thought police' keeping people away from 'unacceptable' material is being 'policed' by people who are dictating what is safe to think.
Yep.... Shows the "Fucked Up, Woke, Snowflake" world we now all reside in!I work with a lot of people who are involved in UK teacher training.
The line 'I was taught by a chap who had flown Spitfires in the Battle of Britain, now they are taught by teachers who needed warnings because Shakespeare is too scary for them - this country is fucked!' didn't go down well!

The problem is Gay King...I really hope Greene King change their mind & keep the name.
As the folk that were interviewed explained. It has absolutely nothing to do with black people or racism.
So where's the problem FFS
Bring back the Punt Gun.... Sort out those pesky ducksAn animal rights lady occasionally gets on the 113...She is very passionate about her cause and she can be a bit much...

Once the Peasant Army and Duck Militia is on the move we got a stop or two to make to liberate are fellow Ducks being held in camps and tortured...I know are Duck friends would never intentionally give us up..However how long can a duck hold out under these conditions..View attachment 14054
That'll be a tough call for him.Bring back the Punt Gun.... Sort out those pesky ducks
A Punt Gun, used for duck hunting but were banned because they depleted stocks of wild fowl, 1910-1920 - Rare Historical Photos
A punt gun is a type of extremely large shotgun used in the 19th and early 20th centuries for shooting large numbers of waterfowl.rarehistoricalphotos.com
I'm a wildfowler..... Does it look like I'm "bovvered"That'll be a tough call for him.
MASSIVE gun = Great
Kills dozens of ducks with one shot = Erm???
Punts are for pussies Sarky.The whole point about punt guns is the punt. It absorbs the recoil, restrained and trained much like one of Nelson's cannon, that would otherwise reduce your shoulder to roadkill. Silly picture!

LOL we occasionally get people new to black powder muzzle loaders. There was a chap who used to put a double measure of powder in for them, because the powder burns so slowly (compared to nitro) you don't get excessive chamber pressure, but you do get shit loads of smoke and flame from the muzzle as the excess powder burns off as it leaves the barrel. It's one of those "Don't do it unless you know what you are doing because do it wrong and it can kill you" things, but entertaining to watch as the whole area is filled with smoke and stinkPunts are for pussies Sarky.
Get a grip man and put it to your shoulder
You tried putting it to your shoulder then?.....You try it if you think you're hard enough

ArrrrrggghhhhTry firing a light 12 bore shotgun in the prone, supported position. Its free recoil energy is right up there with a heavier .303 or 7.62 rifle.
Those punt guns are more like Nelson's cannons. They mostly fired the same 32lb shot for standardised ammunition but the weight of the gun itself and the deck it was on dictated the powder charge and consequent recoil/range & kinetic energy. They needed block & tackle to train and restrain.

You likewise aim your punt with hand paddles creeping up on dabbling duck!
