Hmm. Except I can’t imagine Arnie would be against guns. Just look at Terminator (guns), Predator (guns), True Lies (guns), and Conan the Barbarian (okay, no guns, but a bloody great big sword).

But Auntie Ethel… well, that might be interesting…

Well if Auntie Ethel’s anything like as scary as Jaybee, I can see the crime rate in Wales plummeting…

The lunchtime news reports another 16 year old girl, also in the Bridgend area of Wales has been found hanged. That makes 17. Apparently the Police are going to be issuing a statement later today.

Philip Irwin writes in The Guardian

The original story focused on seven young people, supposedly connected by social networking sites, who killed themselves within 12 months. Yet police are adamant that no link has been found. The sad fact is that 16 suicides among young people in Bridgend in 12 months is no worse than usual. There were 13 suicides by young people in 2007, and 21 in total. In 2006 the total was 28.

Whether there is some odd sort of suicide pact amongst teenagers in the area or whether it’s due to deprivation and hopelessness there is clearly a link and authorities should be looking into it with a view to sorting the problem out.

I just put Auntie Ethel on the bus.

Is this part of Wales being administered by the Deepcut army camp staff?
