I feel sorry for the family of the motorcyclist
much as I did about that car-racing chappie a couple of weeks ago but it's not really a tragedy is it? My boss's wife's cousin lost her 25-year-old son to a paragliding accident in the Pyrenees a week or two ago and whilst it's sad, for fuck's sake, flying about in the air is a risky business. The same is true of hurtling round an asphalt track at hundreds of miles an hour on a bike/in a car. If you like hangliding in mountains it's rather tough shit if you smack into one and die, really isn't it? Child gets rund over = tragedy. Someone succumbs to the dangers of a dangerous activity = these are the breaks, as Curtis Blow once 'rapped' on the 'M.I.C', with some considerable success, I might add.

It's unlikely that I will die in a motorsport/paragliding mishap as I have minimised the risks of such an occurrence by not fucking doing it in the first place.

In other news, you're all cunts.

I can't believe he just called us that !
I'm like the bird on the twinnings advert with my cannonmile, honey and vanilla tea, at the end of it after the storm when she's just becoming herself... so I'm not going to let it ruin my day, but if you don't have a cup of twinnings cannonmile, honey and vanilla tea, I could see how this could really be like on the advert when you're on the storm and lossing your oar.

Don't let him get to you Gonz.

He can't, because I'm closing him off to my inner sphere of piece.
He is an insignifcant dot on my Stress Radar which is very fair away, and as a powerful and capable human being, I will not let him into my inner sanctum. In fact, I'm going to do some cognative behavural theorapy right now to remove his negative influance on me.

Here, this'll make you laugh.
There is someone I know who pays £30/month to go to some club where she gets discounts on drugs, she can do them there, they've made it really nice, and you get discounts and stuff. I've never heard of such a thing, but she had no reason to lie about it. I was with another mate in south london who says they deliver around her way.

So, anyway, I was like "Ok, I'm from a posh bit of north london, 'round my way we go to the doctors and get a subscription. Then you go down to central london, and you got to a social club. Then there is south london, where you get deliveries and street corners".

Haha, you've reminded me of the time when you said you believed that someone decapitated a drug dealer but the police let him off because he was a drug dealer.

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 24 Oct 2011, 8:58, Reply)

He was a violent pimp.
They let it be known that they weren't that bothered about finding who did it. Anyone who thinks the police dedicate the same time and effort into finding the killers of well-known unpleasant criminals as they would to, say, a missing child (or whatever) is a cretin. They don't give a shit and in private are rather pleased when certain characters are 'removed'.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 24 Oct 2011, 9:08, Reply)

I'm pretty sure there would be at least _one_ piece of evidance if someone got decapitated by a sword in london, no matter who they are.

I may be wrong about some of the details
and I'm sure it was sensationalised to make more of a story of it, but this was a big thing at the time and various people went away to parents' homes etc for a while whilst it was going on. Chap was certainly 'offed', police were certainly not that bothered.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 24 Oct 2011, 9:27, Reply)

I am constantly surprised, and more than a little dismayed,
to read in my local paper about murders that go on round here that don't even make the national news.

Fair.
This has also reminded me of I am The Sword, which is an awesome motorhead track, so thanks for that. And by the way, I'd actually be quite miffed if you did that, but i'm in a bit of a cunty mood this morning, maybe time for some Gonz Tea.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Mon 24 Oct 2011, 9:06, Reply)

There was a doctor who was lambasted recently for critisicing the prohibition of drugs
His point was basically that there are many things that people do for a thrill, such as horse-riding or whatever, which have far higher mortality rates than recreational drug use, yet these things are not illegal. If I remember rightly it was in response to some clever soul suggesting that the NHS should not treat drug users as their problems are self-inflicted.

Yeah', but you don't get people queuing outside the local esquerian centre at 7 in the morning waiting for them to open so they can feel like a human again.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 24 Oct 2011, 9:12, Reply)

Yeah man! I totally had half a lemsip.
I was also suggesting that a lot of the questionable behavior associated with drug use would be mitigated were it legal.

Disclaimer: other than the very occasional spliff I have no interest in drugs, I bareyb even drink by most peoplles standards.

I think it's a totally valid point.
You could also extend the comparison to smokers and drinkers, too. It gets a little tenuous but the point is reasonable.
