Re: Terrorism
They have special golf-trained terrorists to target big businessmen and politicians. I distinctly remember seeing one on Mr Bean, with a machinegun-equipped golf bag.

Re: Terrorism
Marian, I believe it was ' trashed ' but our two sons and our daughter rounded up all the kids responsible and did have a monumental clean up the night before we flew back to Auckland !! It was years later that that this slipped out in a casual conversation with the youngest son !! Regards Peter in NZ.

Re: Terrorism
Not so much terrorism but mans facing up to the facts of war. In the middle ages Europe and the Middle east was the Head as a sign of conquest and was also the head that bought in the Bounty to the bounty hunter. With the Chinese believe was the pig tail, and the Japanese the top knot. The American Indian was the scalp. Suppose to some of the not so conventional persons was the testicals and other private parts of their victims. Although most of these acts were after death, the persons who now perpetuate these deeds to show how brave they are do whilst the victim is alive, and yet people still run scared of the Death penalty. Burning alive seems to be coming back into fashion as recently shown in the Middle East and probably had a large audience. We send our troops into these situations and don't give them the right to fight back in a similar fashion. I am also a strong believer in do unto others as they would do to you. JS

Re: Terrorism
A very unruly and warlike people, the Scots. It was here that the deadly black pudding bomb was invented, later refined to the haggis which was easier to throw.
The latest advice from the Foreign Office is only travel there if your journey is absolutely essential.

Re: Terrorism
Then there's the Great Mountain Haggis, with one leg shorter than the other. It runs round the mountain, with the short leg uphill. To catch one, you force it to turn round and run in the other direction. It falls over.
