Slovak Prime Minister Shot

[Peter Pedant]

god what is wrong with AB - not many prime ministers have been shot this week,

and no comment ( xc mine) - perhaps the mods have bludgeoned any news hound into silence, as it is obvious an unmimsy subject

attack on the PM is an attack on democracy - it is oo-er time in the East....( all parts)

I heard it was a 70 year old that did the deed.  Doesn't sound good though.

PP - Stop turning most of your posts into moderation criticism, it's getting tedious.

[Peter Pedant]

[Peter Pedant]

[jno]

a Putin fan, isn't he?

[andy-hughes]

PP - If I deleted any post that offended me, some AB'ers would vanish from this site instantly. 

I am asking you nicely to stop your tedious digging at Moderators who do their best to make the AB run properly so we, and you, can enjoy it.

Something to think about.

Still in surgery - -  Bolsanaro - his knife wound repair broke down and I think he still has a colostomy.

Heydrich, OK some years ago, - Prague The czechs were forbidden to operate and debride the wound as it was assumed they wd kill him, and the german doctors ( he was German) were afraid to as they thought a concentration camp awaited them.

if my trade is to get up Andy's nose - then quite well. thanks

Poincare ( not the mathematician) bled to death because the tourniquet was too low

Venizelos 1923 I think, was the first to be caught on cine - gruesome or what?

Oh dear what a pity. What a shame,An ally and supporter of Putin. How will I sleep tonight what with a cardiac procedure tomorrow and the worry of this blokes possible demise?

My only worry is the nutters in these slavic and Baltic states who are Hell bent on assassinations.I give you Gavrilo Princip who bumpd off Ferdinand and his wife Sophie. That started a Ist World War.

Hey ho. I dont really think I give a damn. I just hope some bumblig cardiac surgeon  has  had a good sleep tonight and doesn't assassinate me tomorrow morning.See you all after the 3rd W.W.

[sandyRoe]

I'm sure tomorrow will go well for you.

Who would profit from this shooting?

[Peter Pedant]

Heart procedur.e? you mean cardiac transplant as donor ? hur  hur  hur.

I wouldnt like to anaesthetise someone where they say - "and tomorrow we put in stents" ( I can think of any other procedure indicated after 5 h or so surgery the day before) - I really would say, "christ cant the professor do this one?"

[Peter Pedant]

oo-er Mrs - it is Retro having the cardiac procedure and not  the PM  - phew. Good luck retro !

[AnOtherMod]

I'm reluctantly leaving this thread in place, as it deals with an important event - but I'm fed up to the back teeth with Peter Pedant and his mod bashing on every thread he touches - any repetition and I'll reconsider my act of charity.

[ToraToraTora]

perlease, PP is a disruption merchant.  I am amazed he's allowed on this site. I've never detected the remotest spark of anything approaching intelligence yet he seems to be reverered as some sort of savant! Perlease!

PP - // if my trade is to get up Andy's nose - then quite well. thanks //

Let me explain how things work on AB, so there is no misunderstanding moving forward.

Posting off-thread and / or insulting posts contravene Site Rules, and such posts will be deleted.

If the infractions continue, the culprit will be suspended for a period of time, and if they persist after reinstatement, they will be banned permanently.

That applies to every single person who posts on here.

Now for some reason, lately, you have taken it upon yourself to make disparaging off-thread remarks about the Moderators, and that contravenes Site Rules.

Therefore, if you persist, the above sanctions will be brought into operation.

And any and all future posts and threads from you will be on point, and will not make references to the site moderation.

I hope I have made myself absolutely clear.

Thank you for your attention. 

[andy-hughes]

I have cross-posted with my fellow Moderator, but the message is clear - this nonsense is not going to be tolerated any more.

PP - I look forward to your cooperation.
