STOP!, who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, '
What is your quest ?
What is your favourite colour ?
What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow ?

It's literally that ridiculous
Gun control requires concentration and a steady hand

1) Quote "I am going to give you three things to remember and I will talk to you for a minute and then ask you what they are". They were apple, table and penny.
2) "starting at 93, count backwards in sevens".
3) Then she showed me a diagram of two intersecting pentagons, which had to be reproduced on the same piece of paper with a biro.
4) I was told to fold a sheet of paper in half and put it on the floor.
5) The instruction, "Close your eyes", was printed on a sheet of paper. I was told to do as it said. When I had complied I was told to open them.

Boy, what a fun time :D


Just found this old thread,, and a thought struck me,, re the heading "I am of sound mind"

The vast majority of us are on the losing end of the stick.
The only ones that are on the winning end are the psycho ones that have eventually been released back into society.
They have certificates saying they are sane.

Have you ???

Well, kind of; you see I have my Medical Certificate signed by my Doctor. This entitles me to my Weapon on Wheels and we all know what carnage they are capable of.

Sorry if I sound a bit mad this morning. I've been watching the news.

I can tell you I have taken away a number of driver's licences due to being too crippled, bonkers or BLIND to drive.
My family and yours use the same roads as these people.

I agree, there are people who are on the roads who shouldn't, but that's why we ought to bring in a test ON the road, say every 10 years, then maybe 5 years after 50-60, etc.

Mate this household feels the same way.
You are angry because you are a good person.

We are livid, not for ourselves and how now we are going to cop more restrictions and innuendo, but because of this completely avoidable loss of life and suffering. And indeed bravery.
Those of us capable of complex thought KNOW that more could have been done to avoid this, but because of political agenda, wasn't done.
And suffering now goes up a notch to the decent people.
