Fairly sure there's nothing in the Bibble about that. Unless there's a post-firearm-invention Bibble amendment I'm unaware of.
Yeah,well. As with everything biblical,or any holy book for that matter,there is always the question of interpretation. The god believing gun lobby would quote Luke 11 vs 21 atcha.
“When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe.

Folk will always find something to fit their personal agenda,the whole idea of religion is based on it.
Wonder what they'd do if they had a Muslim senator who didn't believe in the bible.

Chain reaction cycles have Five Ten Zero tablets on sale (add to water, electrolytes, salts, flavour etc)

Switch to chain reaction.fr and they are not listed, not at all, not even at full price !

And they refunded me in full and didn't want it back after I whined at them.

I have that with a craft site I look at sometimes. Often I am so tempted by the offers I see on the site that I head to the .fr site. Nope Nothing there :( :( :(

We're close to Goodwood and the Spitfire is up virtually every nice day, often doing some aerobatics over the peninsular, but my study window (working from home on permanent basis) is tiny so I can hear it, but never bloody watch it from my desk! grrrr.

It would seem not all Americans. Probably no one is listening but something should be done

Spitfires are just old planes, but the sound of a Merlin engine is a joy to hear.

That's right, blame the woman! You know it's your fault for letting her drive, don't you? :roll:

TBF, the online shops sell the same stuff - they just don't have the same stuff on sale at the same time

I remember being dragged to the shopping mall in Abu Dhabi. First shop I see is a fucking Waitrose. Shortly followed by Next, M&S, et al. I could have been in Bluewater, only I couldn't sit and get a beer.

Where I am, there are no shops that I could see in the uk! Hence the online shopping sometimes!! LOL Apparently there is a Marks & Spencer in Paris, and H&M in a few bigger cities. But we're not in that sort of area! :D :D

I have just completed 4 LPA, for me and the missus. Fuck me, talk about long-winded and bureaucratic, I have just has to print out 88 pages of stuff, that will need signing by 4 different people, and they MUST sign in the right order or all bets are off. This has cost me the total sum of 4 x £82, but if we can supply all sorts of evidence the missus might escape by only having to pay £41. Once they have been signed I have to wait at least 20 weeks for them to be registered. Bloody Civil Service!
