Now then time for a quick un?

  • Death Penalty?

    A Sex fiend who kidnapped and raped a 14-year-old girl in an underground bunker was yesterday jailed for 421 years.

    Jobless Vinson Filyaw, 37, posed as a cop to abduct Elizabeth Shoaf as she walked home from school.

    He dragged her to his lair in a nearby forest, chained her to a metal pipe and repeatedly raped her for ten days.

    Dozens of police and volunteers searched for the teen in Lugoff, South Carolina.

    But after gaining the trust of her captor, Elizabeth was able to use his mobile phone and send an SOS text message to mum Madeline.

    Cops traced the phone’s location and found her in the 15ft hole.

    Elizabeth, now 15, was due to give evidence on the first day of Filyaw’s trial in Beaufort, South Carolina, but he pleaded guilty to kidnap and rape charges.

    What are you thoughts on this, do you think if the penalty was death it would put people off?

  • RSPCA - What do you think?

    This isn't really a question though I was interested in your opinions.

    A friend of mine who bought a pedigree dog as a puppy and bred her some years ago has recently fallen on hard times, this has been compounded by the failing health of his dog.

    After numerous costly visits to the vet he had maxed out his credit card and overdraft though his dog needed further treatment.

    He was advised there was a surgery at the RSPCA where he could get help with the cost of medication which seemed to be very good on the face of it, on visiting it was suggested that his dog may have cancer and the operation and associated costs would be approaching £1000 for treatment.

    Not wanting to have the dog put down he enquired for the help he might be able to get from them, where he was advised they would pay £100 as long as his dog was neutered, though they would cover the cost of the neutering as well.

  • What is the significance of wood pieces tied in bags and hidden / hung around a house?

    I hope someone can help answer this odd question, I recently helped to clean a house after a group of Chinese men had been staying in a house, around the house on the back of doors, in cupboards, under beds, on brush handles and on curtain rails all round the house were small pieces of wood tied in cloth to make parcels I was hoping someone might know the significance of this.
