The time North Korean commandoes tried to assasinate the South Korean president.


"And it was all going to plan until the afternoon of January 19, when the infiltrators accidentally came upon four woodcutters. A debate ensued among the North Koreans; an ill-fated decision was made. Rather than kill the South Koreans, ensuring their silence, the commandos lectured them for four hours. A communist revolution, they argued with ideological zest, was coming soon to the south. The civilians were sent on their way with a grim warning: tell the authorities and we?ll kill your families.


The woodcutters went to the police immediately."

Love it.


Military incompetence is always worth a snigger.

"The emus easily outran the truck and led it over such rough terrain that the gunner didn't even manage a single shot. The chase ended when the truck crashed through a fence, because at that point the universe was just throwing Looney Tunes tropes at them. Having had their share of humiliation, the weary soldiers had no option but to admit defeat after a week's combat. The score: 10,000 fired rounds and less than 1,000 dead emus"

discussing the online citizenship test revamp somebody asked where wiltshere was, so we did this online counties thing.

I'm sure I'd struggle with the welsh one and just no point at all my doing the scottish one.

You'll keep an eye and see which is more accurate?! Seriously?!

    • And we humans bear a lot of responsibility for creating the conditions that brought foxes into urban settings. I certainly don't regard them as pests - they are noisy little criminals, but I'm very fond of them (we have huge numbers of them in my area - I rescued a lost baby fox earlier this year). However, there are pest control companies that use humane methods to deter them and redirect them to different territories (a friend of mine works for one, but sadly for OP, I don't think this is in their catchment area).
    • Please don't call them "pests". They are animals who have as much right to be here as we do. Which doesn't mean we can't use humane ways to keep them off our crops, like fruit cages and netting.
    • This thread started about how to deal with pests that cause a lot of damage and leave unpleasant offerings, but has morphed into concerns about welfare for the pests.  I think it's time that local authorities gave us help with foxes and squirrels:  it's especially difficult trying to grow fruit and veg when these animals cause so much destruction.
    • Peter has been recommended many times on here and we can now also recommend him highly, having just had our wetroom walk-in shower done. Prompt response, came when he said, engaged with us helpfully when decisions had to be made, cleaned up well at the end and finished on time. He has been tiling 25 years, and is clearly expert. He also does e.g. victorian tiled pathways.
