If he visits NL, I might just speek to my mate who won the Dutch national discus championship and see if he might be persuaded to throw something altogether more lethal with more speed and accuracy.

If you're mate is a national discus champion, he's probably built like OddJob, and perhaps a steel-rimmed bowler hat would get past security.

OddJob's small compared to this guy.

I'm not much smaller myself. In fact, if we walked in dressed in suits, everyone would think we're the security guards.

so lets get this straight.
The Iraqis throw a shoe at the leader of the west and say, take that, what an insult.

In the west , we take the leader of the Iraqis and hang him till his head comes off.



I know which side I would rather be on

The Iraqis judged him and executed him themselves. We simply gave him to them.

This shoe thing has to be seen in cultural context. It is actually a really serious insult. In an English context equivalent to deliberately spitting or peeing on someone.

I wish they had peed on him.....

Some people wouldn't take that as an insult, infact I think they could charge for that.

In fact only last week I paid £200 for such a service at Kings X. Shame I forgot my wet suit really.....
