"How do I know she didnt call out "?

Because I was there, at the beach, drinking beer.

Hell, I dont speak Chinese....I didnt KNOW what she was saying ....and one should never swim after drinking.

"One story to tell the people back home"...

Mate, she was half way there already...on the trustworthy floaty.

Garthegoyle....yeah the "floaties "....get off the train, buy a floaty from a shop,....then leave it at the beach at days end.

At least this floaty had some utility.

I'd use the woman to promote the brand of floaty she had.

Rockn Roll above.

"Only the most worthy candidate should sit in that chair "

Crikey....when did that last occur ?

Lincoln ?

What is a "Greengrocer's Apostrophe " and what has it got to do with Kamala ?

Is there an AIPAC-type organisation representing fresh veg.?

More power to them I say !!!

Yeah Herve above...the Grace of God ...and a plastic floaty ring...

.{ In another case a Chinese woman drowned at a nearby beach a few days before this.}

Here, Swimming a 7.30pm , no life guards on duty, on a floaty ring. Found 36 hours later.

She should buy a lottery ticket....and she didnt think to call out as she was drifting AWAY from the beach. ?

Stupid.

Tokyo living above....

"Jail AND deport "

Could be difficult....would you "deport " the jail building as well ?

Or did you mean "Jail THEN deport "?

Imagine if Hollywood starting making films that didnt feature guns and shooting.

Bush walking in Shikoku I came across a "beware of snakes " notice board

Snake image had a bow tie and top hat {seriously }

And my response was to laugh and discredit the danger.

10 minutes later, on the path, was the meanest looking snake ever , with a triangle shaped head, almost all black occupying it's space like he owned it.

Yes...posters should be appropriate.

I think airlines X Ray even checked baggage.

There's "stupid " and there's possible terror intent.

No average airline staff could know if the grenades were inert or not.

People rob banks with fake pistols , for example.

These murders occur in Australia.

One case involved a "man " who went through the whole Police process of obtaining a pistol {joined a "sporting shooter club " as a backup reason for his application } waited the weeks that it took, then bought a pistol, and killed his kids in front of his wife .

Another was a farmer who had a rifle. Financial troubles etc. Probably long term drought. Went and shot his wife and 2 sons both pre teen years old, one son shot 100 metres from the house, indicating he had tried to run away.

I can understand the calls for a death sentence here, on this forum.

What a choice you poor Americans' have.

We will all be dead and gone when China reunites with Taiwan.

Long game player, absent in modern states.

While I'm reminiscing , this job was in the mid 70's , the pay was excellent with penalty rates {eg double hourly rate } for various shifts and weekends etc, the night shift was 80 hours in a week {sleeping not frowned on } with a week off in the next week.

Plus Aussie dollar was $1.35 to the US dollar.

And all the nurses smoked lots of Thai pot.

How old ?

Whatever the bottom age requirement to become an Uber delivery kid.

Starpunk above...yes my friend...Frogs ARE important.

My wife has a phobia of them....so if I want to make her scream, I'll go fetch a little frog.

Lets not paint "psych. patients " with a broad brush.

I believe stats show a person with a mental illness is less or no more likely to be violent .

Most "mental illnesses " treated by drugs and counselling.

And yeah, I did this job after leaving High School for around three years....I'm in a position to speak of this.

If you look at all the various manifestations of mental illness from good old depression through to hallucinations, persecution, paranoia etc, there's sadly a lot of "space" within the range of diagnosis.

And yes, those with schizophrenia and delusions of granduer were present in the permenant wards.

Lots of Jesus and Napoleons.

In Court you get an "outcome ", not justice.

{Actually, Dr. Phil wrote that but it kinda true }

Past behavior is a predictor of future behaviour....usually...Trumpy may throw another "countries aren't pulling their weight " tantrum.....and reduce NATO spending.

May support more genocide in Gaza.

Probably "pardon " himself.

Make Trump Great Again is the most likely thing to expect.

Nurse stabbed by patient in Psych. hospital and it's nursing staff "who should be vetted "?

I'm with posters who think this idea is itself lunacy.

I used to work as a Psych. Nurse in an old time "lock up ward ", lots of the "criminally insane " present.

We counted how many knives and forks were returned after meals.

Once, a largish , young fellow, was watching TV and ashing his ciggie on the floor.

I said to this patient "Hey, dont do that What do you think those ashtrays {the standing type, made of metal } are for "?

His reply ?

"There're for wrapping around your @@@@ing head "

Bad Haircut ..... Actually, I thought Virusrex was on the money.

And you just went ad hominin and lost the argument in doing so.

Your last paragraph is funny on a second reading, but not for reasons you'd imagine.

A cry from the wilderness.....lol.

The French love a bit of drama.

I remember when farmers on tractors basically shut down central Paris.

That was an old EEC dispute, about prices for farm goods and produce.

Years ago.

I cant see any "tension " underneath this dispute other than what was said.

There is a bargaining power at present and unions are using it.

The Olympics are probably past their use by date, like the old farmers on the tractors.

Ken...I wonder who moderates my comments.

So yeah, agree JT is a strange beast.

Should read "Jail ", not "ail "

Fighto...I've seen your prior posts where you called for ail time for negligence matters.

I corrected you.

Can I take credit for the above post where you see the distinction between civil and criminal law matters ?

lol

Lets "give peace a chance " on the forum....

I vote to crowd fund and buy a certain poster a little puppy !

Have to check with his mum first though.

Yes bone...sigh....very important to win a point when the issue is about a man made famine and the story has a starving baby in the lead.

Fragility ?

Gotta keep that ego intact.

Who could look at that photo of a starving child in Gaza and then write "fake news " . ?

Way to put pressure on the Princess.

Gotta get a male baby , dear.

Go the female option....works/worked for UK.
