    So I started a petition to get road bumps to slow the traffic down to 15km.'

    Disturbing clash of units here ☹️

    Mike Perkins has spent 14 (Fourteen!)years restoring his beloved 1972 Ford Transit Landliner CI, which he calls his "pride and joy" 😀

    Focus should be on why a Gazan Palestinian man cannot travel to be with dying relatives in his homeland without warning (I'll take your word on that). The UK state supports the occupation and blockade of Gaza, therefore helps hold in place the very conditions which create that ongoing threat of violence in Gaza. 

    If they had gone as Gazan Palestinians we wouldn't be talking about it .

    They went as British citizens, against the advice of the Foreign Office, and then were happy for a relatively high profile family member to try and pull strings on their behalf when it all went wrong. Their subsequent 'escape' after a cash donation also raises a few questions.

    It genuinely pisses me off when the media use the misdemeanours of relatives to attack politicians.

    Unless the politician has been involved (like covering ut up) then it has sweet f**k all relevance.

    But similar relatives are a major issue after going somewhere they were told to avoid?

  5. Last saw them in 85 at Knebworth with the so called classic line up of Gillan, Blackmore, Lord, Glover and Paice. Great gig but pissed down all day and we ended up having to push the bus out of the field to get home. Meatloaf and The Scorpions on the bill. Remember Meatloaf had a stookie on his leg and was pelted with mud throughout his set. Happy days 😀

    Still 3 of the originals in the band. Hopefully Gillan's voice is still up to the job but should be a good night anyway with Reef on the undercard 🎸

    My first year doing Dead Pool.  I assumed that you couldnt pick those who were terminally ill?  I must be wrong.

    The rules are that they can't be famous for being terminally ill. It's to weed out all those people who get in the news for doing a charity marathon before they croak, or for announcing they're off to guzzle a few glasses of Chateau Dignitas or for legal battles after their parents trying to stop the doctor turning off the life support system, that kind of thing.

    Some hitherto famous person who announces that they have stage four cancer or MND is perfectly fine as a pick.

    I've made the same rookie mistake putting the squad together.

    Thanks to the Champ for putting us right
