    Why do you never contribute anything to the discussion? You just belittle people for silly typos or grammatical errors.

    Life's too short for that surely.

    Oh and you speak French - wow!

    Did a first aid course the other day and the Ambulance bloke who did it called it the "juglier vein"

    Oh how we laughed.

    I just wish this plot device was used in more films to cut out all the boring crap. Especially with sword fights. I used to fence and I know that real sword fights were very short and to the point (as it were).

    Nobody expended energy on jumping up on tables or swinging from chandaliers.

    The aim was to stab your opponent or sever his juggular vein - as soon as you could.

    I used to live nearby (about 1km) from that estate. I never understood why the residents of Kingston just didn't band together and buy out the Cambridge estate, then level it. It would have increased their house prices no end, at least the ones near the estate.

    Try taking some Krav Maga classes. It will quickly turn you into a chav/mugger killing machine.

    I find a swift kick in the jacobs does the trick.

    And dont carry a knife, carry a big **** off pipe wrench or a short crow bar. Totally legal and can really ruin someones day.
