The Locker Room

Just a question.... On Facebook you have the E-mail setting (in the speech bubble). How secure is that? I mean, no one else can see it.

The previous competition has finished, the votes have been counted and verified and I can announce that the winner is: Well done McFlurry. McFlurry, I cant send you any more PMs, so could you please pm me with a new theme for the October comp. Many thanks

Voting will run until sometime Monday night (1st October) when I get home from work.

Very well done europe for winning and bringing the cup back home (again) :clap:

As some of you know, the next novel I wish to publish is Gladiatrix, the first part of which came into existence several years ago on the Police Oracle website. It follows the fortunes of a Trinovante woman condemned to the Games in early Second Century AD. I have extended it into a full length novel which, now that I have parted from my agent, I can publish on Kindle, and possibly as a POD paperback. I will be very pleased to do this, since so many people enjoyed the first part. The trouble with publishing on Kindle and POD is that I have to create a cover/placeholder. I have used my own photos for this, but when it comes to Gladiatrix, I have a problem. There are …

I know the site disclaimer about legal advice but I would like to get the view of others on here, I'm not totally sure of the legality of this. As a gift for my girlfriend's mum I was thinking of booking a table for just the two of them at a swanky restaurant but would I be allowed to lend my girlfriend my debit card and PIN to pay for the bill on the day? If the answer's no I'll just have to give her cash but I seriously doubt I'll see any change! =D Cheers!

I woke with this question in my head: If you could go to any point in history, for 1 day, where would you go? You can't travel back in time to change history, its merely to be a part/observe the day. HMS Victory 21st October 1805 - Battle of Trafalgar.

I've just stumbled across what can only be described as the ultimate visual feast for you ITYO... A television programme called Choccywoccydoodah on Watch.

http://uk.pc.gamespy.com/pc/fallout-3/1225810p1.html Anyone else eagerly awaiting this release? I loved the 3rd and thought New Vegas was pretty good. This should rock more than a stone!!! By the way, does anyone have any opinions on Skyrim? I kind of fancy it but not sure about the 'fantasy' element.

http://www.telegraph...depression.html He also gave a lot of police officers depression when he was Home Secretary. I think I would have suffered depression if my father had been sent to prison for being a coward and not wanting to go to war with all the others. Funny how these people always manage to come up with some past problem when they have a book coming out, after some extra publicity to sell more books.

Sweden, like the UK, accepts quite a few immigrants, often refugees, and this can cause problems when there is a clash of cultures and standards of behaviour. Two relatively minor incidents last week were brought to my attention which illustrate that every country should be careful who it allows to reside within its borders. The first was told to me by my wife. She is presently attending the free "SFI" Swedish classes to bring on her language skills. Another student in her class is a young man from Afghanistan who is in his early 20s. Over the coffee break, he told my wife that he was unable to get a job, so he had bought an old ice-cream van - yes, the ones like you …

I thought this was actually a good representation of a realistic knife attack, where he made it like a real confrontation and made him think "is this for real?" I've done a whole load of "knife defence" drills via taekwon do and eskrima but they're all the same, binary attack, prescribed response, everyone knows where it's going. I'd love to see some more of this in OST! Has anyone here dealt with a knife attack with open hands?
