Thanks Martin, appreciate your support!

I did a small 10 mile section on Thursday, just to see what it was like and the path is well marked and mostly chalk and grass, but with some big old hills to get up!

I've got great boots and socks so that should be fine, I'm more concerned about my knees each morning, having played football for 26 years!!
Still, if the weather holds, it is a most beautiful place to be, so that should help and I'll be taking plenty of photos!

My guess would be sprigs of Belladonna.

That location is really near Bainbridge High School, a middle school and an elementary school. (As you might guess from its address on High School Road.)

I'm surprised there wasn't a lockdown alert at the schools and region-wide news coverage. The Bainbridge police must have gotten to him fast.

Bainbridge has all sorts of problems with Bigfoot, werewolves, vampire covens, hippies and LARPers.

Possibly, the paranormal shirtless activity is related to the still-secret government base there. (Miles upon miles of steel cable stretched up on telephone poles...apparently as a massive radio antenna.) It was the place where the Japanese codes were intercepted and broken during World War II. Bainbridge was also known for its farms run by Japanese immigants before they were all interned during the war.

I call bullshit. A movie theater chair armrest doesnt weigh enough to cause someone a concussion. I also dont see how it could have just "fallen" on her head as she was leaning over.

More likely, the guy sitting behind her got pissed off when she answered her cell phone during the movie and kicked the armrest so hard that it slammed into her head.

In my opinion, she deserved it.

I hope like hell she looses the case.
ALL Movie theaters ask patrons to PLEASE turn off all cell phones.
Anyone with any level of decency and respect for others would turn them off without being asked to.
All the others who dont turn them off suck rotten egg farts.

Yep.
partly...

Dont recall the Mike Carr part.
Too many threads and too many pages and far too many posts to go through to make that an easy find.

I can look through the scans of the book itself though.

OK.
Page 38 (Weapons Table/Chart) at the top right corner.
It says

I'll be honest here.

I wished the armrest had fucking killed her.

I hate the narcisisstic, ego driven aspect of asshats like this who think their life is much more important than anyone elses around, and the rules don't apply to them for just that reason. I bet the bitch would have been the first one to scream bloody hell if someone in front of HER dared to use a cellphone during a movie.

I hope the theater doesn't settle and she has to go to court, and then loses.

ok, so this is probably just going to interest 1 person on the whole forum (me!) but my team, Southampton, are playing at the home of football, Wembley, on Sunday! It's the Johnston Paint Trophy Final (technically a two-bit tin pot cup :lol:

) but we're there with a chance.
44000 Southampton fans will be singing themselves silly, as we almost went bust during the summer, sold all our good players, had no manager and started the season on -10 points!
Its on SkySports 2, so treat yourselves!

The team wear red & white stripes as the home kit and either blue or yellow as the change kit!

Numbers - well, 7 is the favourite for most supporters, as it was once worn by Kevin Keegan (of famous '80s perm) and Matt "Le God" Le Tissier until he retired a few years ago. Perhaps one of the laziest, but most skillful players never to play for England regularly, despite almost singlehandedly keeping the Saints in the top division for many years and only being a one club player (which we like!)

Yep, we've had a really good run of it. I kind of hope we finish 11 points outside the playoffs, otherwise it'll be 'What if?' Unless of course we actually make it into them!!

I'd prefer to romp the league next year though! :lol:
