popped in the fucken eye

[Blanch]

if that guy did that in the states in a major city he would get shot in the face. I am usually riding with a 9mm in the work truck, and while I am a pretty laid back guy I know for a fact the guys I work with would not hesitate to reach under the seat and jam it down that dudes throat.

^ Again, as much as I hate this place at times, I am glad I live in a country where this is not normal.

I've got one of these, non-locking, sub 3", legal to carry on your person. Cuts cucumber and tomatoes like a darling.

Advertised as being legal to carry? Fucks sake.

I live in the country so not used to the knife culture (except actually carrying a knife for outdoors purposes) but no wonder we have a problem. Think that's pretty sick that ad.

Mainly because you'd have been shot dead hundreds of times before the age of 20 for chucking comestibles at random punters in the street.

 

[i against i]

got new bins ordered. £85 for whole new frames (which were fucked from me passing out onto a table) + lenses. could be worse.

no marks or anyfing. the lenses broke but luckily none poked my eyeball. very unimpressive, i once took a rugby ball to the eye and got a bleeding cornea ffs.

thinking about it, loads of unexpected violence has happened to/around me in london, just nothing where i had absolutely no contact or connection to the other guy.

fuck knives, "feeling safe" isn't worth the potential law-trouble/heavy conscience for killing someone.

Very random for that to happen. Me and angelsmoke once were in london and were victims of a drive by egging though, some people are just total shitheads.

I got egged once when standing in Brixton waiting for a night bus. I thought i'd been smacked before I felt the goo run down my back.

Cracking shot.

 

[Mugz]

Me and angel weren't too far from Brixton, think we were at a bus stop in Vauxhall. The egss hit our legs so I guess it was luckier than being hit in the head or torso!

It's legal but it's down to the end user to have responsibility for how it's used. Taking that knife with you into a city center or whatever would be stupid.

 

[parttime crackhead]

He's right about the way it's advertised though. It's a bit shady to say the least.

 

[badandwicked]

It seems like a gray area on the knife laws, like you can carry it as long as you have good reason to, for your work etc, and its not carried in an immediately accessible place about your person or in your car. So pocket or glove box no, back-pack or boot yes. Lets face it, if you're strolling about with that in your pocket and you get a S&S and the winds blowing in the right direction, you're going to get done (at the least arrested) for carrying a knife. Protesting that you were pruning your clematis isn't going to wash at 10pm on a Friday night.

The subject of stuff being thrown at people reminds me of The Weather Man when he keeps getting Frostys thrown at him. I love that film.

 

[ponch]

Just become a chef, free licence to stroll about with an 8" blade around with you all the time.

I work in a shop so carry a box cutter with me, any cunt comes at me wanting some trouble I will cut any plastic strapping they may be wearing at the time. Watch out.

LOL. Drive by eggings are fucking funny and always will be. You can't deny that.

 

[karmanaut]

Hope your new specs dont prove to be too expensive m8ty,

thats bang out of order doing stuff like that, cheap-shots by cowards and bullies.

Usually done by the types that are too afraid to go toe to toe with anyone, hopefully karma will get him eventually.

I love how on OD forum you sell yourself as an IV junkie who's fucked up big time, broke, homeless etc. and now you actually boast about how your quarter ounce of weed, MP3 player and telephone weren't nicked, and complain that you've got to wear non-designer glasses for a while.

Man are you full of shit.

[Edit] Oh and I nearly forgot the bike. Doubtless a designer BMX.

Is it must me who noticed this and curious to whether it's true? I suppose I could go look in the 'OD' forum but I won't.

 

[badandwicked]

Yeah we noticed but we're not shit stirring gossips so we just carried on.

 

[maxalfie]

One of my mates rides a push bike everywhere. He has so many stories of folk throwing beer cans or other shite at him as they drive past.
One group of idiots even pulled up along side him and tried to grab his jacket so they could pull him along at god knows what speed.
Don't matter where you are there are always twats about somewhere.

hey i just sent you a pm let me know what you think.

for the record, it's not designer glasses. it's specsavers £25 frame glasses which i think are the cheapest?

Let us know the outcome. I'm with Spade, I want the gossip.

Some pretty shocking stuff in this thread. I have to say I share crackhead's views. Be a fucking man, instead of taking a weapon out with you - and I include the attackers in that. They wouldn't be so confident unarmed. America's gun laws are totally fucked up and I'd never live there. It proves how thick Americans are, when it comes to stuff like this.

To be fair, when I was in Portland recently, I was walking about, I thought "is some cunt going to shoot me for walking on their lawn".Turns out they don't shoot people for that. But I was nervous! Wallking about, looking left and right to check no-one's pointing a gun at you. For the first few days there I was wondering if I'd make it back alive, but I'm here, in one piece. Phew!

I went into a Walmart to get a fucking trampoline, it was massive, they had to put it on a trolley to get it into the car and it took about four hours to set the bastard up.

My sister is renting this house and strangely there's a "studio" attached to it, like a granny flat, and she's letting this black guy live there who is homeless, he's a nice guy, I met him and he's sound, but it turns out he used to be a pimp and he smokes crack on the sly, the guy's son has a stretch limo they hire out at weekends, you couldn't make it up.

One point for folk from the UK - How much more para are you from the cops in a foreign country when you see Glocks on their waist? It shits me up. I'm used to being able to bam up a copper a bit (& Strathy cops are not afraid to skelp you about), if he was carrying a gun I'd be all "Yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir.... DONT SHOOT ME!!!!".
