How do you remove guns from people when you don't know who has one (or ten), and even when you do millions of them refuse to give them up? A big ****ing magnet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how the other houses along that fence are faring. They got a 25,000 reduction in price. They might want to consider using the savings to get double glazed windows to lower noise lvls.

Surely those are the things you consider BEFORE you buy your house? 4 hours ago, Jon the Hat said: They wouldn't be the first people in the world to buy for the house and overlook the location or convince themselves it would be fine.

You wonder whether the houses are set closer to the road than they should've been or whether or not any acoustics assessments they did before-hand weren't done thoroughly enough. It's pretty basic stuff really. That said, I don't have that much sympathy for them and to be frank, I think moaning to the paper kind of typifies a sense of entitlement and a lack of taking responsibility for making a shit decision. It's a dual carriageway for gods sake, what really went into their thought process? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellend Sebastian Posted 16 April 2021 Share Posted 16 April 2021 They'll get used to it. My aunt has lived for 40 years yards from a main rail line into London. Every time a train goes by I almost shit myself it's so loud, I assume by now she doesn't, but I've never asked admittedly. It's got the added bonus of being very close to Gatwick airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What really interests me in this story is this "Schaffer, who is also a heavy metal guitarist in the band Iced Earth, had originally faced six charges including using a chemical irritant designed for grizzly bears on police officers during clashes." Is this some sort of mace spray and just how close do you need to get to a grizzly bear for it to be effective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no expert but I'd have thought it's intended for last resort use when the bear is about to bite your head, but I'm willing to try sneaking up on one and spraying it in the face to test it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, pretty much: effective distance varies with make and wind direction but it's pretty much a last-resort defence. I've carried one on occasion but never had to use one. https://www.greenbelly.co/pages/bear-spray Edited 17 April 2021 by Buce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alf Bentley Posted 18 April 2021 Share Posted 18 April 2021 https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/russians-skripal-salisbury-poisonings-czech-blast-b930287.html "Two Russian men suspected of poisoning Sergei Skripal in Salisbury have been linked to an explosion at an arms depot in the Czech Republic. Czech police have issued pictures of “Alexander Petrov” and “Ruslan Boshirov” who they say were in the country at the time of the explosion in the village of Vrbětice in 2014. Two people died in the blast". Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Salisbury......Sounds as if these two blokes need to issue one of those "European tour" T-shirts.
