Seems to have lost some of the romance of old when its become, an argument in McDonalds, the best man or butler handing you a loaded pistols has become a phone call ( and not even a real call for one ) to a London ganster, the other guy doesn't have a pistol, but gets shot anyway.

I think that a return to the days of duelling might be a good idea. But swords only please, as I would be at a slight advantage.

The sort of low life that commit these crimes would run a mile if they thought the playing field were levelled that way.

Is it my imagination, or do a small group of people in the UK, seem to get involved in a disproportionate number of gun / knife related incidents in restaurants?







Yes I know McDonalds doesn’t really count as a restaurant

It is well known there are black gangs with an interest in target sports.

I'm not quite sure what they do day to day though, when not having firefights.

It's a bit public no? Findsbury Park was a traditional spot (probably still is...), but dawn's a bit early for me. How are you set for 11ish?

6 of one in my book!

what the hell was the 'victim' thinking? maybe he assumed that the shooters were loud mouthed charlatans like him and they would stand around throwing baseless threats at each other for half an hour before going off to eat their now cold chips...

"I'll meet you round the corner for a shoot out" but i haven't got a gun nuts

My 9 year old son accused me of being racist when I used the term "Black Cab Driver" when talking about London cabbies. Feking ridiculous state of affairs if the kids are being taught to watch out for the words black, homo, gay etc in what ever context.

Sorry gone off topic, as you were.

They shoot the odd person 'by appointment', here. It's very strange.

You get a phone call, told to turn up to a carpark, and are then shot in such a way you're left debilitated rather than dead. The alternative being, don't turn up and you're shot in a way that kills rather than debilitates.

I must say, education, morality and common sense are sadly lacking among some sections of society.
