    Today the somewhate daft deputy Chief constable of North Wales was at it again as he declared the jump in the murder rate was due to too much Tarantino and not enough Austen.
    We have seen an unprecedented year in the number of violent attacks, which have led to deaths. All of these have been swiftly detected.

    "In today's society, more people are likely to spend their evenings watching a Quentin Tarantino DVD than reading a Jane Austen novel. Perhaps we should not be surprised by the consequences.

    I really thought we'd got beyond this sort of retrograde thinking which was rife during the 80s "video nasty" scare. Luckily early evidence suggests the papers don't fall for it anymore

    Exellent common sense response

    Mike.

    Maybe people should start reading Chaucer and as a result start riding all around them and hitting each other in the arse with red-hot pokers.. I mean, it happens in canonical English literature, so it must be okay.

    Personally if I lived in Wales I would be much more worried that the Deputy Chief Constable was such an naive idiot.

    Why not a cross-over:
    It is a truth universally acknowledged, that I am a mushroom-cloud laying mother****er
    Quip about the state of matrimony again. I double-dare you!
    It will, I believe, be everywhere found, but over there they call it Le Big Mac
    It was, perhaps, one of those cases in which advice is good or bad only as the event decides. So pretty please, with sugar on top, clean the mother-****ing car
    Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings. Because you're a ****ing ****, that's why!
    - Did you see a sign outside my house that said "Dead ****** Storage"?
    - We do not look in our great cities for our best morality.
    - Did you see a sign outside my house that said "Dead ****** Storage"?
    - Human nature is so well disposed towards those who are in interesting situations, that a young person, who either marries or dies, is sure of being kindly spoken of.
    - But Did you see a sign outside my house that said "Dead ****** Strorage"?
    - No
    - Because this house is not for storing dead ******s.
