Though I don't see many people being swordmakers!
Sometime I really dispair at the stupidity of this world!

I stay in wishaw and have seen 6 people be stabbed and two shot. I think they should have realised by now that it's a 'public health issue'.

at the price I can get a cheap katana for in the barra's or surrounding cheese shops I wouldnt be surprised if that doesnt happen every so often! 
Not that it makes much difference but the swords they seem to confiscate are more likely to break that anything else when they it something. Still do a shit load of damage to a person though. | |

Im more worried of being impailed by the sword than slashed. Anyway that could be worse. It could break off inside you! | |

Like I say the shops up near the barras have some of the deadliest looking knifes for sale for only a couple of pounds. They are purely decorative but would still cause a lot of damage. Seen way to many folk running around East Kilbride with things that wouldnt look out of place on a Klingon! | |

Aye, if victor morris shuts it'd make no difference. You can get knives all over the place, though I bet VM shutting would seriously reduce the number of cats and golfers getting shot with airguns.

Maybe I'm being naieve (sp?) but why are knives and guns n stuff not just totally illegal? Seems a simple solution to me! | |
