    I just wanted to send my apology to Chocmintz for my over reacting of your water pistol post reply. I supose I'm way to thin skined when it comes to trying to eliminated the criminal element in this society. Maybe my work just places me way to close to the low lifes I have to deal with, and I forget to losen up and laugh sometimes.
    Well I know I'm not very good when it comes to admiting I can be an ass sometime.......Now Angel Eyes on the other hand has NO problem reminding me I can be an Ass. Maybe I should have let her write this....LOL!
    Anyway .......Sorry!

    Hey Dragon, we (and I can speak for many) love you here because of who you are.  There is nothing wrong with taking your job, and the elimination of the criminal element in this society very seriously.  But like you said everyone needs to remember to laugh every now and then...or they will pop!  The group here is no different then having a group of friends to the house, or at the local watering hole...we are here to all help each other enjoy life even with all the BS going on around us.

    I for one am glad you are going to continue to hang out with us.

    Hey Dragon, you are what you are, make neither excuse nor apology for that. Thats why we like you, Chocomintz will get used to your ways. She's from yorkshire, so she has the same sense of humour as us Irish, it can be dark or in your face, and I'm sure like me she will make neither excuse nor apology for that......................like me she'll get used to the fact that when it comes to guns and hoods...............don't fck with the dragon...Lucky said it all above, you're good craic here, and while people may not share your passion....we do respect it.


    As for Angeleyes calling you an ass....................now thats one intelligent woman!!!

    Dragon - I'm really glad you're back because for the most part your posts make me laugh and I love that you're not afraid to challenge things. Also it's so obvious that you have been well and truly missed by all. No apology needed but I greatly appreciate it anyway. Also I too am sorry if I offended because it was certainly not meant. As Rory said Yorkshire humour is very dark and sarcastic and I'm absolutely no exception to that rule. Case closed please - new day. Welcome back and BIG hugs (o:

    I just composed to coolest I quit letter ever. Ever call your Boss an ASS without him relizing it. I did ask him if he sent in three empty cream corn cans to receive the Management course he took. This moron thinks nobody but him knows how to think. Well he has just steped the Dragon's last nerve, and this is the start of me calming down and spending time with Angel Eyes, like everyone said. I already feel better just talking about it. Kind of like Crammer on Sinefelt with he went a day without underware......I'm out there Jerry and I'm loving it!!!

    Move to come

    Got a few to spend while waiting for machinery repairs. Looks like I've been missing LOADS of stuff!

    Chocmintz, it's not being across the pond that caused the issue. It's being like many who haven't had the experience of being in lethal situations ever, let alone often. Sometimes monthly, weekly or even daily depending on the environment. And there is nothing wrong with what you said. My brother ND, and I don't throw brother around lightly, has the extreme "pleasure" to be dealing with the emotional oscillations that come with knowing on any given day it may be his day because he voluntarily wades through the homogenized froth that slides over the rim of the human gene pool, complete with progenous slime trail.

    When you survive a lethal situation, one where another human being is intent on ending your life, it creates an emotional trigger. PTSD has it's base in this physiological neuro-function. And then when that scenario is closely mimicked it creates the extreme emotional response of the original incident.

    Now when you take that emotional trigger and have it's slack taken up, day in and day out, when you look into the eyes of the thug rolling by who wouldn't hesitate to leave you pumping out on the pavement if the risk was mitigated by his perceived gain of committing such an act; It keeps you in a constant state of hyper vigilence. It's irritating at the least, and can ruin relationships along with consuming your personality.

    One thing for certain is that when you are in the throws of it, or have just taken your gun off but were unable to take the anxiety of it off too, it leaves you mentally blistered and raw.

    I've had people make light of me in similar ways, though it was more of a personality attack. And it enraged me that they had no idea of or respect for the fear and pure anguish those experiences cause and what it takes to self counsel your way through them. Years later I realized that I was really enraged by the fact that I did know that fear and anguish, and that metallic taste in your mouth when that mortal terror takes you by the spine and wrings your gut out. I wished I had never felt it and longed for that blissful ignorance of having never "seen the elephant".

    I think you just caught Dragon "in the moment". He's back, with class, and I can't wait to show him my marshmallow shooter.......BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

    Well done you and I really hope that you enjoy some time to chill with Angel Eyes and your nearest and dearest and to recharge your batteries.

     Can you tell me where to buy the cream corn cans cos I also know someone who could do with them tokens

    Defcon - a marshmallow shooter - how cool is that.  Do they come out toasted?   Now that would be awesome - can I have one please

    I have many friends here in my little ol hometown, that I have either grown up with, or known for 20 plus years. I really have to say that my friends on CF fit right in the same groove as the ones here at home. I kind of wish we all lived closer, but all of us in the same town, or county could get real scary for the rest of the folks. I used the term friends on CF, and that don't fit. I meant my family on CF, even you Dragon, just yankin your chain brother.
