Woman stops 12 ft gator with .22 pistol! "Florida Woman Stops Alligator Attack Using a small .22 caliber Ruger Pistol."

Another good reason to have a concealed weapons permit. This is a story of self-control and marksmanship by a brave, cool-headed woman with a small pistol against a fierce predator. Here's her story in her own words:

"While walking along the edge of a pond just outside my house in the Villages discussing a property settlement with my soon-to-be ex-husband, and other divorce issues, we were surprised by a huge 12-ft alligator which suddenly emerged from the murky water. It began charging us with its large jaws wide open. She must have been protecting her nest because she was extremely aggressive. "

"If I had not had my little Ruger 22 caliber pistol with me, I would not be here today! Just one shot to my estranged husband's knee cap was all it took. The gator got him easily, and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace. The amount I saved in lawyer's fees was really incredible and his life insurance was also a big bonus!"

In a follow-up to the Duster implosion post on the 'grumpy thread', I can report back that the cause of the catastrophic FTP was the oil filter and housing ejecting itself from the motorcar at speed.

It has since been repaired and there seems to be no serious engine damage.

Bonus is that it's been undersealed too.

How is that possible?

But good there was no serious damage.

I'm putting it down to witchcraft and black magic. It's rife in this valley.

In all seriousness, I'm not sure, but it's getting driven very gently.

My Granda has been rather vocal on getting it done at a garage...

I seemingly recall he was the last one to service it.

At a garden centre this afternoon (at that age), and a guy in a powered wheel chair comes flying into the car park virtually one one wheel.
Never seen one of them move as fast. A real WTF? moment.

Almost all the bus stops local to me have this advert

from a graphic design and artistic point of view

it makes zero sense

bagpuss on LSD?

not sure what the moggy has to do with it

but I love it

something about it just makes me smile, it doesn’t make sense but it’s memorable and therefore it’s worked perfectly

purple cat with swirly eyes is cool though

If you were a surgeon you'd develop an idea that everyone has dicky organs. Mechanics don't exactly see the cars that are just fine, do they?

Well yes, but the bulk of servicing work will be moderns and other things which are a bastard to service. And as we know, all moderns are shit.

There was a photo in the local rag showing a street scene from 1962. Despite 63 years of progress, the fucking scaffolding is still there.

My Dad worked in building insurance and reckoned scaffolding hire costs could double the cost of a repair.

I'm with my dad and on TV is one of his favorite TV programs but this week they mixed up the TV subtitles so this one is subtitled in Finnish and he doesn't know English. So I imagine in Finland now there is an equally pissed off Finn ho as gotten Norwegian text cursing at the tv.

And I love pissed off/angry Finns and Finnish swearing.

I was working in Helsinki just over a year ago. My Finnish colleague would remark "fuck this shit!" every half hour or so.
