Excitement next door!

Odd isn't it how stuff can happen right on your doorstep and if it gets on the news the event often seems much bigger than it really is.
I know years ago there were riots in Chapletown, Leeds, and it all kicked off at the bottom of our street.
I had a mass of phone calls the following morning asking if we were ok and so on.
I didn't have a clue what they were on about at first and when I caught up the the tv news that evening I was surprised to see what appeared to Leeds in total chaos.

Something similar happened over Burley Road Way in Leeds - a full scale riot and a pub burnt to the ground and my mate one street away was oblivious to it all until he saw it on the local news the next morning.

Wow. Clearly some bloke being in his house without a gun is not the big deal we thought it was here in Herefordshire.

SLR or SA80?

By the sounds of things you'd have been better off creeping up and clubbing the target and saving your ammo for something else

Call that a gun? Pah:

Call that a gun? Pah:

Is that not a bit extreme for playing pool, though?

Clearly Cubist is very pleased to see someone.

I manged to sleep through a gas explosion which blew the roof of the house across the street from me - never heard the explosion, the Fire Brigade sirens or the people in the street!

I managed to sleep through the world famous Dudley earthquake a few years ago.

A mate of mine slept through THE hurricane in the south of England in 1987, and couldn't understand why there where trees lying EVERYWHERE on his train journey in to London!

Let's just say when I pot 'em they stay potted.....
