vikingTON Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Longbows are much underused even in conflicts today, the fear factor, cheapness, silence and accuracy would be a must for folk like the Taliban I would have thought. He was mad though. Longbows are only effective after intensive training with them: you really would be better off learning how to use a firearm. For a stealthy, low-tech and above all, no skill required weapon, the crossbow has to be underrated.

You don't see enough trebuchets on the news these days imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they pretend to set up a ducking stool for the local harlot I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Romans kent how to bash someone on the head from a relatively long way away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Craig Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I drove through a huge puddle and nearly drowned a wee old lady. She had her wee yorkie on the lead and pulling her wee trolley. I feel like such a b*****d!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I drove through a huge puddle and nearly drowned a wee old lady. She had her wee yorkie on the lead and pulling her wee trolley. I feel like such a b*****d!!! I was walking to the mall to buy Fifa on Saturday and I got splashed a 'dullyin' by not one but two pickup trucks. I was still sodden when I got to the game shop, so much so that when I was signing the receipt the guy actually had to go and find paper towels to mop up the counter. I explained that I'd been involuntarily splashed and he called me a "poor thing". Just thought I'd throw that out there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt bad because I splashed her and her wee yappy dug (I guess it's yappy, all they wee dugs are.) The wee woman never even looked round. It was a right sad sight in my mirror. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I met Nick Knowles in Harthill Services today. Him and his DIY SOS crew are up to renovate a place called 'The Yard' in Edinburgh for kids with special needs for Children in Need due to be aired in November. Perhaps when you're watching it next month you can turn to you're partner/kid/grandchild and say 'Dee Man off of Pie and Bovril met Nick Knowles at Harthill Services while he was filming this last month', just before they give you a look that says 'You have lost the fucking plot'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually an alright school to go to. Some of the pupils were just reprobates though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
