Moonbats part 2. UK Doctor loses court case against Cellular tower.

#1  "Dr Nunn and her neighbours tried to protest at a planning inquiry that, other than health implications, the mast would hit property values and impact on local amenities."

Well, she's got a point there: that is one damn ugly-looking cellular tower to be located only 130 feet from your door.

The ones we have here around residential neighborhoods are disguised as Norfolk Pines. It's not a very convincing imitation if you look closely, but more than good enough to remove the eyesore factor.

#2  She is shown to be a calm and serious person in this article. But her Moonbat status was well evidenced in the last story where she sent through the whole litany of alleged health problems the tower was causing.

God look at their picture. A scary looking pair.

new rugby selabrashun
LONDON, England -- A Welsh rugby fan cut off his own testicles to celebrate Wales beating England at rugby, the Daily Mirror reported on Tuesday. Geoff Huish, 26, was so convinced England would win Saturday's match he told fellow drinkers at a social club, "If Wales win I'll cut my balls off," the paper said. Friends at the club in Caerphilly, south Wales, thought he was joking. But after the game Huish went home, severed his testicles with a knife, and walked 200 metres back to the bar with the testicles to show the shocked drinkers what he had done.
OK, I've been drunk in my life. But, never, ever this drunk.
Me, neither. And I can prove it.
Huish was taken to hospital where he remained in a seriously ill condition, the paper said. Police told the paper he had a history of mental problems.
Hey, at least it was over a rugby match and not soccer.
Wales's 11-9 victory over England at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff was their first home win in 12 years.
Big deal. The Red Sox didn't win a World Series for 86 years, you didn't see any of us cut our nuts off.

#1  I almost posted this this morning but just couldn't make myself do it. Muck, you have bigger balls than me. Hell, at least I still have mine.

#2  This gets me "seriously ill" rather than "seriously injured"? Is it infected? His self performed orchectomy injured him it didn't make him ill.

#3  And, if he'd done it at an earlier age, he could have gotten many operatic parts which require a certain "vocal tambre".

Muck4... you rascal!

Ha ha ha

#4  Drunk, crazy and stupid though he be, this fellow is definitely a man of his word.

#5  Never, ever, ever argue with certan British folks, it's just not healthy for anyone. This is what pacifism and the loss of empire brings. :>

Boy, 4, drives to store for video. Store closed. Drives home.
A boy of four drove his mother's car on a late-night trip to a video shop. Although not tall enough to reach the accelerator, he knew how to engage the automatic gearbox. The idling engine took him slowly to the store, 400 yards from his home in Sand Lake, Michigan. It was 1.30am and the shop was closed, so the boy began driving home. Weaving about and with its headlights off, the car attracted police patrolman Sgt Jay Osga, who followed the apparently driverless vehicle. It then turned towards the boy's block of flats and hit two parked cars. When Sgt Osga switched on his police lights, the boy reversed into his car. A shocked Sgt Osga then discovered who was driving. The mother said she taught him how to drive sitting on her lap. No charges will be brought against the unnamed boy or his mother.

#1  400 yards? This is why our chillrun are getting fat!

#2  I blame Grand Theft Auto 3 for teaching poor driving skillz.
Posted by: ed || 02/08/2005 7:34 Comments || Top||

#3  No charges will be brought against the unamed boy or his mother.

Some interesting civil suits might follow, depending on how well insured she is, though.

And what on earth is a 4 yr old doing up and out alone late at night?

#4  Outstanding. Beats my first ticket at 11.

#5  Great wahrks! No charges against the mother? Sounds like some cop has zeftyr shit for brains.

#7  My daughter is 4 and this is just up her alley . . . never will this episode be mentioned in my home . . .

#8  Walked into my grandparents house once around this age and said, "Cars go boom." Caused all kinds of excitment, lol.

Apparently I'd gotten into one and pulled it out of park, letting it roll into another just a few feet away. Good thing for me that they didn't live on a hill. :)

#9  Glad that you're okay LOR, 4 is a little young for a shaheen. (yes, I know, I know, they do blow up so young these days.)

#10  # 3 True Nuff

Kid's do the most amazing thing's , stunt's etc.
the little guy, obviously snuck out of the house
and perhap's has ONLY a Mommy- absent father. Mom was sleeping. The car door's need to be locked
and the car keys OUT OF REACH- just like the chemical's under the sink. When I was 6 I got the chicken pox- my scalped itched so much , I grabbed my father's shaver and shaved my entire head and went to school bald for awhile!

All kid's do these types of action's/behavior's
Why sue civil?? Nobody was hurt- simply pay for damage to the car's that were hit. Case's like that CLOG THE COURT'S.
