The stand off couldn’t go on for ever. From what I’ve read his mental state was deteriating in the last few hours, and the Police must have felt that they had to act. I think the Police did everything they could short of blowing his nose and wiping his ar/se.

Hmm :-k I posted at 11.35, so you had time to look at my post, type “nappy rash cream” into google, scan for a pic, then save it, and then upload it to your photohosting site, and then link it to this site by 11.39? :-s
You’re either amazingly quick Pete, and I would never have had you down for being quick in any way whatsoever, or you have nappy rash pics kicking about incase the situation arises? You’re beginning to freak me a bit now. 8-[
Appreciated Pete, thanks.
I dont really know the story to much, but wasnt their footage of the troops being attacked by steel bars etc?
Dont see what’s wrong with discussing religion. Going by that logic then life’s to short to discuss anything, and what’s the point in discussing anything anyway since were all gonna be dead by the end of this century. Topics are discussed to increase people’s knowledge.
As believers in the literal truth of the Bible, they knew it was there.
Even so, the explorers who say they found seven large wooden compartments beneath snow and volcanic debris near the peak of Mount Ararat can be forgiven their excitement.
‘It’s not 100 per cent that it is Noah’s Ark, but we think it is 99.9 per cent that this is it,’ said Yeung Wing-cheung, a filmmaker working with the 15-strong team of fundamentalist Christians exploring the Turkish mountain.
They said wood taken from the site, which is more than 13,000ft above sea level, dates to 2,800BC. If it is the ark, the discovery would be the greatest in the history of archaeology and bear
out one of the most famous stories in the Bible.
The team of Turks and Chinese researchers from Noah’s Ark Ministries
International in Hong Kong say they made the discovery on Ararat – the biblical resting place of the ark – in October.
At a press conference yesterday to announce the discovery, another team member, Panda Lee, said: ‘I saw a structure built with plank-like timber.
‘Each plank was about eight inches wide. I could see tenons, proof of ancient construction predating the use of metal nails.
‘We walked about 100 metres to another site. I could see broken wood fragments embedded in a glacier, and some 20 metres long.’
The structure had several compartments, some with wooden beams, the team said.
The wooden walls of one compartment were smooth and curved while the video shown by the explorers revealed doors, staircases and nails.
The team said the wood appeared to be cypress although, according to the Bible, the ark was built from gopher.
The group ruled out identifying the find as a human settlement, saying none had been found so high up in that area. They are keeping the exact location secret.
Four years ago and following a decade of research, U.S. national security analyst Porcher Taylor claimed a satellite image revealed a baffling ‘anomaly’ on the mountain’s north-west corner that he believed to be the remains of the Ark.
But Mike Pitt, a British archaeologist, said the evangelical explorers had yet to produce compelling evidence.
He added: ‘If there had been a flood capable of lifting a huge ship 4km up the side of a mountain 4,800 years ago, I think there would be substantial geological evidence for this flood around the world. And there isn’t.’
Nicholas Purcell, a lecturer in ancient history at Oxford University, said the claims were the ‘usual nonsense’. He added: ‘If floodwaters covered Eurasia 12,000ft deep in 2,800BC, how did the complex societies of Egypt and Mesopotamia, already many centuries old, keep right on regardless?’
According to Genesis, the first book in the Old Testament, Noah was told to build the ark by God, who wanted to flood the world to punish sinners.
The story was widely seen as fact until the 19th century, when scientists began to question the evidence for a worldwide flood.
Watch this turn out to be a crook of sh.it
Anyway’s I was more interested in some of the comments about it going along the lines of “The Bible is a historical record of Human descent. Most events and people in the Bible have been proved.” etc etc.
Clearly nonsense statements, but It does tie in with the video I linked to earlier about how people can simply lie or totally bend the truth to further their belief either in religion or in conspiracy theories.No more crazy than American right wing religous nuts saying that Haiti was cursed because they made a pact with the devil.
