But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.” -

This could be adapted to all throwing events as I'm certain that a hammer, discus and shot could produce some impressive injuries.

Originally posted by TykeMerc View PostTrue, my favoured one would be to line up UK politicians (all parties) down the field and award bonus points to the distances thrown for how grevious the damage inflicted and to whoom.

Is also valid.
Just to confirm your theory, I’ve seen what happens when a hammer lands on someone’s foot. Not at all pleasant.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

On the day it was announced London was to host the blow-job-logo Olympics, I just assumed the government would outsource the whole thing to Paris.
It would be cheaper, better, less disruption and successful if they had.
I'm expecting it to be as much a success as any other big government project. An embarrassment.Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.
