Where do you think the scrote that shot a copper in the UK (somewhere?) after a search in the custody suite had stashed his gun?

I don't think S&M designed it to be worn inside your bottom.

Maybe there is a niche for bottom shaped handguns.
Personally, I'm sitting here giggling at the thought of S&M designing guns to be hidden in bums!! They probably need some kind of vibration instead of bullets tho?? :lol: :lol:

No, nothing like that. I did inherit £10k from my grandparents but it was about 15 years ago.

It was a combination of things:

- My previous house sold for more than I expected, pretty much at the top of the market. And I didn't have a mortgage on it and haven't had to buy another.

- Various planets aligned at various previous jobs. Huge companies bought other ones. I can't say too much as I signed something. Needless to say I was very happy on each occasion. Plus with new jobs came more recognition and quick promotion. And one included a bonus scheme - which I told them I didn't want - but they gave it to me and it was based on energy prices so ended up being several times what I thought, due to soaring energy prices not my ability or performance.

- Some friends / ex colleagues and I got a licence to move certain low carbon recovered fuels between certain locations. This is a bit of a punt and could work out well or we could lose everything we've put into it.

I don't think I will not work again, I don't think I have enough to live the life I want (and I am a rough old scrimper so don't need a huge amount). Maybe I'll get an easy hobby job or maybe another 'proper' job if I have to. The last one had become stressful and I'm so glad I walked away from it. It was the right decision for me.

One thing I have discovered is how easy it is to do very little and still fill the days and almost feel busy. I struggle to see how people fit a full time job in now.

From that story it looks like the mother was unable to contain the situation and was so afraid that she called the police to protect her from her daughter who had hit her with a hammer and then armed herself with a lethal weapon.

But when the police acted to save her, she (in hindsight) decided that the force used was not required.

Ideally then, she won't call the police the next time her ten year old daughter (who was high on drugs) decides to attack her with a lethal bladed weapon, or if she does then the police will remember the previous criticism and decide not to use any force and instead will stand well back and watch.
She won't call again, you only ask the police for help once.
I suspect he easily had other options but they were unable to prove it.

I have also been collaborating with some other upscale young professionals and we have a plan to launch an online platform, PAWGasboard.com.

This will be a one stop, turnkey resource for PAWGS, PAWG admirers, glute workouts, onanistic video, PAWG related content and information exchange.

You heard it here first, check out the website, coming soon, PAWGasboard.com. :thumbup:
