I just remembered a conversation I had it my granpa. When my father was a boy, dynamite was easily available because he lived on a farm. WWII had just ended too, so blowing stuff up was both patriotic and cool. They made working bombes, mortar , pistols etc. I asked you grandfather if he noticed what the kids were doing back in the day.
- Of course, I'm not blind and deaf.
- Why didn't you stop them from blowing stuff up?
- It was all right. Way back when I was a kid dynamite was new around here, so my father was a bit nervous around explosives - so he let me handle the dynamite. )
Well, as I grew up in a military area (yes I am a genuine B.R.A.T = Born Raised And Trapped), as a kid we used to hunt the excercise areas for unspent ammunition and uxos to make our own bombs. If we were found out, I would usually get away with just a clipped ear and severe telling off first by the commandant of the base and later at home by my father with second serving of clipping 'round the ears.
In the current climate, that would be worth of two sets of screaming news headlines: 1) KIDS MAKING BOMBS!!!! and 2) PHYSICAL ABUSE IN MILITARY BASE!!!

Watching Crime Watch Norway , some punks stole a mans Rolex worth 70.000 krones (!) in Stavanger , they basically just cut it off his wrist.....these guys had obviously kept an eye on this man
Cougar killed man in WA forest
Rattle snake fell from a tree into a kayak in SC (or that's what they say.....speculation it was actually swimming in the river and they decided to grab it , then it's self defense from the snake 8-)

I unfortunately had the exact thing happen to me when I was out in London earlier this year.
Piccadilly in the evening on New Year’s Day wasn’t a very fun time for me. Turns out a NATO isn’t as strong as I thought. The watch was cut off while I was in a very large crowd - I didn’t even see who did it.
A Catholic priest, a Baptist and a rabbi were discussing religion. They decided the true test of their religions and powers as preachers was
to convert a wild bear.
A week later they met up to compare notes. The Catholic priest now had a broken arm: "The bear didn't like hearing the scripture, so it attacked me. Then I dosed the bear with holy water and now the animal is a pious Catholic."
The Baptist was now on crutches: "I preached to the bear, but it just started wrestling me. But I managed to baptise it in the river. Now the bear is praying."
The Rabbi was in bed, covered in plaster and hooked up to several machines that say "beep!" :
"In retrospect it may not have been such a great idea to try circumcising the bear...." )
A Finn, a Swede and Norwegian decide to have a sauna competition; who can stand the heat longest:
First one to quit was the Swede, after an hour he stumbles out of the sauna and faints on the doorstep......
Next was the Norwegian, after 2 hours he stumbles out of the sauna and faints......
After 6 hours, the Norwegian and the Swede grow restless; why hasn't the Finn come out of the sauna? Is he even alive anymore!?....
After 7 hours they decide to investigate; they open the door and peer inside... The Finn is still sitting there, looking a bit worse for wear, but still alive!
Amazed the others ask "Why you didn't come out earlier, surely 2 and a 1/2 hours would have been enough to win!"
Irritated the Finn answered: "Well I would have bloody well lost this whole competition, but my b@lls got stuck to a crack in the bench!!!"

Thought it amusing today when the BBC announced the wedding of Hugh Grant saying....
..... It was his FIRST marriage. I'm guessing they don't expect it to last.

As this is random chat , this is very random ,Miichael Dorn. Who plays Mr Warf in Star Trek , is the voice of Weasle in th cartoon series I Am Weasle with I R baboon ( why no one tell IR this )
I have a question to the Bri...... to the peoples living on the islands north of France.
At school I learnt that these islands were called the British Isles and the people living there are British.
I wrote this in another forum. To my surprise a couple of members told me this is very controversial. The Irish supposedly call the Islands things like The Western European Islands or something like that and they are NOT BRITISH. )
Were my teachers right, are the two members of the other forum right, is the Irish government more than a little uptight on this issue?
Please help!
I was asked today by a friend if there is or has anyone considered making a film about the early life of James Bond, covering his school years ,his parents death , his naval service ,and finally his MI6 service ,
