I still think that's a better use case for IAPs than something that would give you an advantage in PVP. |

http://m.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/new ... ot_jailed/ After reading this, I have questions: A) of he is living in a £100k house and driving a Zafira, is it fair to say the 16kg heroin probably was not his? B) if not his, does he owe the owner 16kg or is it acceptable losses? C) Is 16kg a lot? |

I reckon it's probably a lot, bust of a lifetime for the officers involved I would imagine. |

Anyone know about the Cottingley Faeries? The house with the beck in the garden where they were photographed is up for sale. If you want a 2 bed end of terrace for £165k near me. |

| Post subject: | Re: Bits & Bobs 44 |
Yeah, I read a lot about the Cottingleu fairies when I was young. Frances (perhaps) and sister. And nobody noticed that some of them were cut off of a box of washing soap flakes or similar. And verified by Consn Dotle I think. Memory hazy. I always imagined it was a cottage in the middle of some land rather than a terrace end. Maybe just because Cottingley sounds like cottage-y. |

I haven't clicked that link but I've always believed that if you have a child with a T shirt with their name on, a stranger can come up and say "Hi (name) your mom and dad have said you can come with me" Is that what they mean? |

"Clothing with names is the #1 thing that leads to kidnapping" WTactualF That is (or was) quite a widely held and repeated belief. If Jamie has a jacket with 'Jamie' printed on, and there is a bad man wanting to snatch a child, a child of a young age is believed to be more likely to believe that his mum or dad have sent uncle Bad Man, because he addresses him by name, as if he knows him (otherwise, how would he know his name). I was about 14 years old (so the guy was really pushing his luck) when someone started calling 'Nikki!, Nikki!' and beckoning to me. I was carrying a friend's study notes to look through as I'd been off and her name was scrawled on her folder. Obviously i knew I didn't know him, but the idea creeped me out. |
