Scum throwing water is nabbed by plod

Do the Cubs each have to do this in order to get one of the badges they
need?

Lord knows what they'll have to do to get their badges when they
graduate to the Scouts.

There is only one defence against someone throwing something at you from a
car. It involves two words with an ampersand between them, and the second
word is 'Wesson'.

Only lunatics urge citizens to use deadly forceagainstn children playing
harmless pranks.

But then, cyclists' "dignity" is all-important to them.

They actually imagine they have some of it.

Only a trolling spastic sees 'children' in the incident, when there is no
mention of it in the article.

Of course, even if it were a child, it's still not a 'harmless incident'.

What is a "young cub"?

Perhaps the passenger was a lion, or a bear?

Well, since the passenger obviously wasn't a lion, or a bear, we can assume
that the term is perhaps dialectal Irish, you thick ****.

Did you mean idiomatic Irish?

But leaving that aside, "cub" is sometimes used idiomatically by some
Irish speakers of English to mean a "young child" (which is what we all
tho0ught in the first oplace, isn't it?).

So we return to the question: what sort of lunatic urges citizens to use
deadly force against children playing harmless pranks?

Other than Glug, obviously.

I always need to use the washers on my car when driving past road lice.
It's best to start squirting just before you pass the scum.

No, I meant dialectal Irish.

Keep trying. Eventually, you'll find some subject on which you're more
knowledgeable than I.

No, it isn't. I sometimes (often in jest) refer to anyone under 40 as
'young man', because I'm now at an age where people under forty _are_
'young' and appear as such to me. That doesn't mean that their legal
responsibility is absent, and it doesn't mean that they get away with
placing other people in danger of serious injury or death.

> So we return to the question: what sort of lunatic urges citizens to use

There is no indication that the criminal was a child, and of course,
throwing water across someone in control of a vehicle is not a 'harmless
prank'.

> Other than Glug, obviously.

We refer to such people as "young pups", but funnily enough, none of them is a young dog.

But "cub" is not a dialect word. It's an ordinary English word.

Oh yes, it is.

No-one except you thought that the "victim" meant the young of a lion,
bear or wolf.

Societies like ours cut children a lot of slack and quite rightly so -
at least up to and including squirting water (which is harmless to
humans - though perhaps cyclists see themselves as an exception to that).

So you'd use deadly force against a child with a water pistol, so
frightened are you of washing.

playing harmless pranks?

You need to look up the meaning of the word 'dialect'. I can heartily
recommend _The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language_ by David Crystal. I
read it cover to cover when I was studying for my first degree, and that
was my first introduction to the concept of _dialect continua_. Of course,
Wikipædia will have to suffice for you, if you don't want to spring for the
book on Amazon. You'll then be able to imply expertise on the subject,
dishonestly misrepresent what I in fact wrote, ask me to justify your
dishonestly modified version of my initial claim, and then pat yourself on
the back because I decline to play along.

Business as usual, in other words.

If you think that I believed that the aggressor was the 'young of a lion,
bear or wolf', then you are even more stupid than even _I_ had given you
credit for, and believe me: that is no mean feat.

Yes, of course they do. Why, I think that the article I read yesterday or
the day before yesterday on how four people had been convicted of murder
but only one could be identified, must have been fabricated. And I'm sure
that the two teenage girls who murdered Angela Wrightson will be loving
their freedom.

But of course, you carefully inserted the caveat 'up to and including
squirting water', which despite your attempt to portray it as some harmless
prank, could quite easily cause a cyclist to lose control of his bicycle,
fall and be killed. It is an assault, not a 'jolly jape'. It is no less
serious than squirting water through the window of a moving car, at the
driver - something which would also be treated as an assault.

But of course ... it's a cyclist who's the victim, and you prove my point
yet again about 'Jews of the Road'.

Oh, I'm Glug?

Well, that's remarkable. Quite proud of myself, really. Knowing that I'd
be trolling uk.rec.cycling, I in fact went back in time to post .. well, I
don't know how many times, in alt.activism.death-penalty,
uk.rec.motorcycles, and various computer-related newsgroups. My archive
file (which only contains about two thirds of my actual posts since I used
GUI-capable newsreaders for a while) contains 806,581 lines. The first
post in that file is in the thread 'Coughlan goes into mourning', and was
made on Saturday 25 February 2006 to the newsgroup
alt.activism.death-penalty. Curiously - and how deliciously ironic! - it
was in response to a poster who thought that I was someone called 'Desmond
Coughlan'. Let's fast forward a bit... care to suggest a line number and
I can tell you what it was? Let me choose, eh?

Line 109,121. Let's see .. that's a header line:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

It's part of a post I made on 11 June 2009 - again, to the newsgroup
alt.activism.death-penalty. The thread was 'Re: From Ordering Steak and
Lobster, to Serving It'.

Another one, eh? This is fun.

Line 301,094. That line contains the string ...

'The state cannot possibly know whether a convicted murder will
re-offend'.

Please do feel free to suggest a line number, and I shall be glad to tell
you what it contains.

Amazing, eh? I went back ten years and posted 15,628 times (that's just
an estimate of the number of times the word 'Newsgroups:' appears in the
above file), just so that I could then post as 'Glug' sometime in 2016.

Truly remarkable.

*rofl*
