A small public service announcement from the Department of Things That You Should Know…
It has not “peeked” your interest.
Nor has it “peaked” your interest.
…It has piqued your interest.
You are not “phased” by something.
You are fazed by it.
If you’ve had a long day, you are weary.
If you suspect someone is an idiot, you are wary.
It is “due course”, not “do course”.
“Per se”, not “per say”.
And while we’re here, it’s “could have”, not “could of”, but that particular battle may already be lost.
Thank you for your attention during this brief outbreak of grammatical housekeeping.
This has been a @LairdofthManor announcement.🎩💙
@LairdOfThManor@rymel01 I thought you were referring to the joint in the arm.🤣
I think you have to be careful when mentioning being a “real Australian”.
Trumps “beautiful best words” could make up a new dictionary. (Even without the American misspelling.)
@rymel01 Albo is a despot with a low IQ who has leached his entire life on the public purse having never had to work a real day in his life. He has no concept of what being a real Australian is.
@LairdOfThManor Are you getting tetchy or still techie?
I can agree with you about the “could of, would of and should of”😱
Along with SomethinK, anythink or even worse someFinK!
Have to watch our blood pressure.
@Oct7NeverForget@CarrisMari5691 She will probably be charged with GBH and having a weapon. Hopefully she won’t get put in Prison because of her age. Don’t mess with old ladies we didn’t get this old by being helpless. I love that she had been a librarian. More effective than throwing the book at them.
🤔81-year-old grandmother Ava Estelle was absolutely furious when she learned that two thugs had raped her 18-year-old granddaughter.
She tracked down the unsuspecting ex-convicts… and shot off their testicles.
“This elderly woman spent a week hunting those men down, and when she found them, she took revenge in her own way,” said Melbourne police investigator Evan Delp.
Then she took a taxi to the nearest police station, placed the pistol on the sergeant’s desk, and calmly said:
“These bastards will never rape anyone again, by God.”
Police say convicted rapist and robber Davis Furth, 33, lost both his penis and testicles when the enraged Ava opened fire with a 9mm pistol inside the hotel room where he and his former cellmate Stanley Thomas, 29, had been hiding.
The vigilante grandmother also shot Thomas in the groin, though doctors reportedly managed to save his mutilated penis.
“Thomas technically didn’t lose his manhood,” Detective Delp told reporters, “but according to the doctor I spoke with, he won’t be using it the way he used to.”
“Both men are still in pretty bad shape, but I think they’re just happy to be alive after what happened.”
“Grandma Rambo” began hunting the attackers on August 21 after her granddaughter Debbie was abducted and raped in broad daylight by two knife-wielding criminals.
“When I saw the look on Debbie’s face that night in the hospital, I decided I would punish those bastards myself because I thought the law had become too soft,” recalled the former librarian.
“I wasn’t afraid of them — because I have a gun, and I’ve been shooting all my life. And I’m no fool; I didn’t turn it in when the gun laws changed.”
Using police sketches and her granddaughter Debbie’s description of the attackers, Ava spent seven days wandering through the district where the crime occurred until she spotted the rapists entering a cheap hotel where they were staying.
“I knew it was them the moment I saw them, but I still took photos and went back to Debbie, and she said, ‘Damn right, that’s them,’” the grandmother recalled.
“So I went back to that hotel, found their room, knocked on the door, and as soon as the tall one opened it, I shot him right between the legs — right where it would hurt the most.
Then I walked in and shot the other one while he backed away begging me to spare him.
After that, I went straight to the police station and turned myself in.”
Now bewildered law enforcement officials are trying to decide what to do with the vigilante grandmother.
“What she did was wrong, and she broke the law, but it’s hard to throw an 81-year-old woman in prison,” Delp said.
“Especially when three million people in the city want to elect her mayor.”
@Xmusknewsx No, he should not stop getting involved in British politics. Under this increasingly more dictatorial Labour government where free speech and free assembly are comi9ng more and more under attack, we need every ally we can get.
@CliftonPam79845@Xmusknewsx We don’t have a bill of rights. We have laws dating back a lot more than 250yrs.
There seems to be a lot of those rights being cancelled under Trump.
We don’t need the right to bear Arms.
Or to arm bears.
@Xmusknewsx He’s not involved in British politics. He has an opinion but he doesn’t have any influence. He shouldn’t have been involved in the US election either offering $$$ for votes.
The British Royal Family assembled in Windsor today for the annual Order of the Garter ceremony. King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William and other members of the Firm processed through the historic town resplendent in their velvet robes and gloriously impractical feathered hats, while the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Edinburgh watched the proceedings from the sidelines. A wonderfully British spectacle of pomp, pageantry and centuries-old tradition.🇬🇧💙🎩
@madis87681 As most babies are born head first this description seems literally upside down.
So he’d seen this in films. Wasn’t he present at Archie’s birth?
The photo of her pregnant with her head on Harry’s lap. Straight from “Notting Hill”. She’s no Julia Robert’s though!
Markle truth: Of Lily birth, Harry states. "I slid my hands under the tiny back and neck. Gently, but firmly, as I’d seen in films, I pulled our precious daughter from that world into this and cradled her just a moment. All lies. No doctor allows a husband to pull the baby out
Harry Mountbatten-Windsor relegated to 8th row at Knicks vs. Spurs game… while the real celebs sit court-side. Americans don’t give a rats-arse about has-been Harry.
The big question we should all be asking is why has Keir Starmer given Ukraine £21billion of OUR money whilst leaving our own armed forces depleted?
There should be an investigation into this.
His duty is to the UK
@NotFarLeftAtAll He served in the Navy and Air Force. He cashed out his armed forces pension and used it to set up the charity The Prince's Trust (now The King's Trust) which has helped over 1.3 million people world wide.
