hitmanNo2 Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 I don't see why sending a copy of one's passport/driving licence is not acceptable to prove proof of age. Completely irrelevant though as these types of people will just use one of their mum's kitchen knives if they want a knife... Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 As with all such legislation, it will do little or nothing to reduce crime but will penalise the legitimate user/collector. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Yep. Cant remember the last time a saw a spyderco or benchmade used to commit a crime. However, supermarket kitchen knives? A couple of quid gets you a very large stabby, slashy thing. Link to post Share on other sites

shmook Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 Only in public places. Was that to stunt? The new proposal is stating one handed openers, assisted open and things like axis locks which you can use to flip a knife open will be illegal, even in your own home. Lobby your MP about this, it's a stupid plan that won't reduce knife crime. Link to post Share on other sites
Gunmane Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 I need a paper like that with Stunt's signature on it when he revitalizes the Empire and reclaims the colonies. Link to post Share on other sites

It's mind boggling they are able to feed themselves. Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 They're not stupid - not completely, at least - they know full well their proposals won't reduce crime, they just think it's an easy way to grab a few votes by looking like they're doing something. Doing things that would *actually* reduce crime would be hard, and expensive. So they're not interested in doing that. Link to post Share on other sites

Mike_West Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Destiny 2 comes out next week, and I'm already in a love/hate relationship with it. As it seems I'll have to pay €30 extra for the Season Pass, because I still remember how Bungie *fruitcage*ed the D1 players over when the DLCs came out. And the first one is scheduled for December, so it reeks of massive nickel'n'dime superdickery. Link to post Share on other sites

Hedganian Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 In general, you're better off waiting a year for the Gold or GOTY Edition to be released, which includes all the DLC and most of the bugs are fixed by then. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Yup. That's what I do. I have such a backlog of stuff to get through, I can wait. Hurry up RE7 GOTY release though please. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Where do I stand with a fixed blade knife? What if the handle was made of bone? Human bone? Lord Lucan's femur? I don't thing people should be discouraged from using mankind's most primitive and versatile tool. It isn't the knife that is a worthless scumbag, it is the person. I like a fixed blade knife with a sub hilt. I would be hard pressed to find a single tool in my tool box that couldn't be used to kill a person in a pinch. Anyway, how can a show like MacGyver that was so good spawn a new version that is so, so bad? I like George Eads but his character is redundant. The new Macgyver is too young and too much of a little bell end. Richard Dean Anderson was 35 years old when the show started. Lucas Till was 26, too young to have the life experience necessary for the character. Utter garbage. Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 I did that with bf4, got it cheap with most of the add ons and most of the bugs fixed. Though it didn't stop the players cheating (invisibility springs to mind). Link to post Share on other sites
Bovinedog Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 I was very disappointed with the new Macgyver. I liked the original, didnt watch too much of the new one. Too many other things to binge on. Finally got around to the expanse. Half way through season 2. Like very much. But the James Holden actor reminds me of James from TFBtv for some reason....

Tinkerton Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 As an avid fan of the books, pretty much the only problem I have with the expanse tv show is the age of the cast. Naomi has a very detailed back story which has only been hinted at. She should be older. Also taller and skinnier like a proper belter but there's only so much you can do for a main character. Jim Holden should also be older, practically middle aged. Miller was about spot on, and so are amos and alex, but IMO they missed the mark on jim and naomi. Bobbie is by far the best character though. Her and chrisjen are a fearsome team. Link to post Share on other sites
