    Snooker

    He has a "bellendness" absolutely, but Ronnie is beyond compare for me, where other snooker players are / have been.

    The whole panto persona as well, it's all an act, to see people actually getting wound up about it does seem to validate his reasoning for doing it.

    Guy is a legend in my opinion.

    One of my pals has said he saw some speculation that Oli Shaw may be away or about to leave the club. I guess if he is injured I assume we would be able to cut any loan deal short as happens the other way with Biereth recall.

    Leave us VERY light up front if true even if he did not make a great impact or any sort of impact. His miss when he was thought on goal in his debut probably sums up his impact.  That goes in it may have been different. He did have the assist for late equaliser v Dundee or Ross C if I recall. Hey ho nothing official.

     

    We might be forced to recreate Levein's 4-6-0 line up at this rate!

    Unfortunately they all do. The low occurrence areas have two positives…few people and a widespread hunting culture. Kids taught gun safety from a young age aren’t as likely to do stupid s**t like point guns, loaded or not, at each other. Of course, this study is more a judgement of adult/teen gun handling, as the weapon had to be left accessible to the 1-3 year-olds.

    There’s a conundrum in carrying guns, which is that a semi-automatic needs to be carried with a round in the chamber for best protection, but by that token is also more dangerous to the owner. Too many guns are offered with inadequate safeties, Glocks being the gold standard for this (search “Glock Leg”). On the other hand, manual safeties can also cause a delay in use, and that’s why they’ve become unpopular. With a. It of practice, a manual safety can be disengaged during the draw, but that takes practice…something too many gun carriers fail to perform.

    In the end, most kids are shot due to lazy, uncaring, incompetent or stupid adults/teens. The U.S. gun culture will persist until the demographics turn against it, and even then it will be a long road.

    I hear you, but I feel you are normalising the idiocy of 'Mericans, and their gun culture.

    The last 10 years, the US (in my head anyway) is a place I have always enjoyed, and looked forward to, visiting, to one which, quite frankly, it wouldn't bother me one iota if I never set foot in the place ever again.

    While the map is initially amusing in that the Midwest jumps out as “safer”, despite having some of the highest proportions of firearms per person or household, it takes a more nuanced look to get the real story. While the sample size is small, the numbers in Texas, Florida, Georgia, Missouri and Michigan are caused by different factors:

    Texas vs California - More guns and looser gun culture and laws in Texas.

    Florida vs New York - Much more guns and much looser laws in Florida.

    Georgia, Missouri and Michigan all have a large city or cities with violence problems…but so does Illinois, with a significantly lower rate.

    When we're talking about weans getting access to guns, gun laws, cultures or controls - or the lack of rather - really shouldn't come in to it.
