  1. This is pretty cool: http://www.uproxx.com/tv/2013/10/norm-mcdonald-breaking-bad/
  2. The article just said kicked in the body. And my point with the examples was that smacking as discipline seems to be only ok with children, IMO there are much more effective ways of disciplining kids if you act like an adult and keep your cool. If you can't contain your frustration when faced with a 9 year old in front of people, and were severe enough to warrant concern from onlookers, then maybe you deserve a telling off. That's all. I'm not sying she should be labelled a child abuser and locked up, just get told to keep your shit together next time. Which is exactly what happened, so I personally don't see it as a sign of BROKEN BRITAIN.
  3. Yes, I said they never hit me in the head or kicked me, which is true. A soft slap on the the fleshiest, least dangerous part of the body isn't the same is being hit in the head or kicked. Also they wouldn't do it in the middle of a public street.
  4. If you don't want public scrutiny on hitting your child, don't hit them in public. With the whole "never did me any harm" thing, sure getting a smacked arse didn't leave anything wrong with me, but it certainly didn't make me see the error of my ways or teach me any valuable lessons. If it was an actually effective form of discipline, what would be wrong with your boss giving you that skelp for making a mistake? Also, it's not as if this mum is getting locked up or having her kids taken away, she got admonished by the judge. Though he should have given her a slap to make sure she didn't do it again, right?
  5. Well it was an adult sized person I was using in that example, so I used more a more violent example. But fine, say your boss gave you skelp round the head and a boot in the arse at work. Sure you might be pressing assualt charges, but would you find that acceptable in any way acceptable?
  6. Nope, I miraculously managed to be a well behaved child who did well at school without having a grown adult twice my size give blows to the head and stick the boot into me in a public street. But sure, it's PC gone mad, bloody nanny state blah blah blah.. Yeah let's just keep to Fight Club rules for developing skulls of small children, as long as they don't go limp, fair game. Fucking hell. If it was an adult with Cerebral Palsy out on the street with a carer who's got frustrated with them and starts laying into them, is that fine too?
  7. Hitting a nine year old kid, and kicking them is a bit more than a skelped arse.
  8. I know it wasn't specifically asked in this thread, but it looks like we have a definitive answer to What is punk?
  9. Aye, it's a nice idea but ultimately won't work with what you have. The bodies of the Strats Jan and Old Gold posted pics of most likley were left blank for hardtail or Bigsby bridges, where as the body of you have looks like it already has the tremolo cavity routed so it's going to be near impossible to fit any roller or hardtail to that, and if you do there will still be a big hole through the body. Drilling holes in the existing bridge will put the the strings through two seperate trem systems, one of which will be under no tension, so will probably not even be playable. You're more likely to make money back on these pieces leaving the strat body as is, and keeping the bigsby for a more suitable guitar or seling it on. There's reason it's hard to find examples of strats with bigsbys, you really need a custom made body to make it workable.
  10. Whut? There's no fucking chance Walt and Jesse are going to help or rescue each other. They've never hated each other more.
  11. I'm going to have to assume that Belgium and India are actually horrible, since the opinion in bold is so completely wrong.
  12. EL Generico and Claudio Castagnoli are on WWE these days (under different names). Antonio is great:
  13. That's been sale for a year or two here. It's probably the only cider that I actually like other than Addlestones, and that has a tendency to ruin my life.
  14. Comedy Bang Bang should have definitely had a mention here by now. Pretty much the best. Also where my avatar originates from. You Made It Weird with Pete Holmes. In a similar vein to WTF, but if it was hosted by the opposite of Marc Maron. More recently caught up on The Attitude Era Podcast. Bunch of British dudes reviewing every WWF pay-per-view of the Attitude Era. Like this:
  15. Instead of doing that, maybe head to google first and learn the difference between electro-acoustic and semi-acoustic.
  16. It would perhaps be a more useful suggestion if that was actually a semi-acoustic.
  17. Yeah,stone-cold-no-more-purple Marie is a total boss.
  18. They read that Black Lake thread.
