Here is a pretty gruesome picture (don't click it if you're sqeamish) of what happened to the guy in Germany

Theresa May has apparently authorised the use of these things now, according to the article in that linked.

I wondered what they would do with all the unclaimed phones

haha. Why would any of them bother getting their phone back? They're only going to go get pay-as-you-go ones, probably by more looting!

That's what I thought. Who would be dumb enough to go back for the phone?

That's nasty.

That's classic Have Your Say, that is. Especially the "Yes! I'm serious!", which can be translated as "I appreciate my ideas are hugely impractical and morally untenable, but can you imagine if they weren't? The erection I obtained just thinking about it is actually starting to hurt."

The trouble with water canons, according to the EXPERT they had on the BBC earlier, is that when they run out of water, they have to be refilled.

 

I'm really glad that they had an EXPERT on to explain that really complex concept for me.

HAHA that made me spit a bit of coffee!

OK, other than the entertainment I am getting from reading about the riots I'm starting to get mad. So here's what we will do.

1. Take up a collection for me a plane ticket.
2. Meet me at the airport and I'll pass out weapons
3. Pretend we are playing LFD and stop this nonsense.

Spit coffee? You have the wierdest erections...

No you are thinking of something else.

I call that nut fudge.

Either that, or they can't be used far from the nearest tap.

I'm not sure how that would work. You don't happen to have an EXPERT on hand to explain it to me, do you?

I think it's similar to the early electric cars that could only go so far as the mains plug would allow.

 

IGMC

Would that not be some sort of scalextric set?

 

If we hooked into the existing tram network in those cities that have them, we could feasibly connect the tracks up to the mains and have us all travel around in large plastic cars that impossible to control.

That'd be awesome! And we'd never need mechanics again, as it'd just be case of getting underneath and flattening/straightening the brushes out again.

 

And the headlights would randomly stop/start working for no apparent reason.

 

And random sections of track would lose power despite being connected perfectly and having every appearance of being totally fine.

And I'd regularly come off at corners and chip the skirting board! :$

This is what I want you guys to do tonight.

What, turn videos into animated GIFs to annoy peteR?

HA, that will work as well!
