and I thought we were gonna see some decent two jedi on one sith action.

Mines the one with the death sticks in the pocket...

What were two Jedi's doing fighting each other? That's NOT the way of the force.

that Wine is rich in Midiclorians.

I'm surprised it got to court at all.

Isn't there some kind of fine that can also be slapped on these two whiny little bitches for being (a) hopelessly pointless (b) pathetic wienies?

Mines the black one with the shiny silk trim.

LOL! that video is the lamest Sithlord assault I've ever seen!

he didn't even make a vrzoooom noise when he swung his crutch...

Mine is the one with a gallon of wine in the lining.

Drinking problem? I don't think so! Anyone who can polish off a ten litre box of wine and still leap about has absolutely NO problem drinking.

Liver problem, possibly...

Ye olde Dark Lord just did what every self respecting citizen of this Galaxy should do when facing such remnants of an obsolete belief system: Beat them into submission.

Charging his Lordship is an outrage and the Emperor will certainly not be pleased!

ie, none.

Somebody went to the police, for that? Seriously? AND they pressed charges?

FFS, what is this world coming to? Sad enough to be in a Jedi church though, so this shouldn't be surprising. I would imagine their mums insisted that the big bully be brought to justice.

And yes, 'most of a 10 litre box of wine'? My arse!

'Ow! That kind of hurt'

and

'That's really quite painful'

or something? After that silly display, they were sort of asking for it, really. Certainly no need to call the old bill, especially as he capered off saying he was only joking.

They should have been told to bugger off and stop wasting people's and time.

My local Off-licenses and supermarkers only sell the bog-standard 6 litre boxes of wine. Holyhead is starting to sound like a fun place for a holiday. Light-sabre wielding nutters, drunks dressed in bin bags impersonating Darth Vader, super-sized alcoholic beverages.

Beats the hell out of Disney Land!

Icon? Disney Land isn't the only way to have a fun ride in Paris!

I must be getting old(er), it used to be "He repeatedly attacked the toe of my boot with his crutch" and you'd be nicked. Now it appears that the forces of good were overcome by the dark side and the man in black gets away with it

Sod light sabers - I'm off to the local hospital to get armed to the teeth. I wonder how many Jedi I can take down with one zimmer frame?

Dai Vader?

So, this much publicised Jedi Church is really just a bunch of sad Star Wars fanboys filming themselves having lightsabre fights?

10 Litres = 17.6 pints ... still plenty enough to kill anything other than a wookie.

Yep, that's mine ... slide rule in the long pocket

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

"22 pints? of wine?"

Not in Wales. Only 17.6 (Imperial) pints.

The ex-colonies may have a different figure.

22 pints of wine normally = dead (well maybe not on Lambrusco). Maybe the Welsh have a higher tolerance for the stuff than the rest of us.

'when Hughes failed to arrive on time, District Judge Andrew Shaw issued an arrest warrant, adding: "I hope the force will soon be with him." '

Nice one!

From the Beeb story: 'Earlier, when Hughes failed to arrive on time, District Judge Andrew Shaw issued an arrest warrant, adding: "I hope the force will soon be with him."'

I hope he adjourned the session and got his coat right after saying that.

The important question is: Because it shows the internals of the Church of Jedi If that gets posted on you tube will it be taken down in the same way it would if it was the Church of Scientology?

Most of 10 Litres is a minimum of a little over 5 litres.

So a mere 9 pints is required, and any crazy welsher is more than capable of that.

I've met a few..

Enough people said they were Jedi in the last census so come on! He's a hater and needs to be realigned!

Just please, nobody draw a picture of Darth Vader with a Lightsabre in his helmet because the Siths might take offence and burn Rebel Alliance flags in the street.

It says "had drunk the best part of a 10-litre box of wine"—which might be any amount over 5 litres. Which is still a freakin' lot. I guess if you tend to buy your wine in a box, specifically a box of that size, you might have already developed a certain... stamina. Anyway, when this story was first reported, I had imagined the action to be more dramatic.

...and it's - terrifyingly enough for those of us who are soberer - quite possible for people to function on that kind of daily intake.

Weighty chef Clarissa Dickson-Wright held down a cooking job on 2 litres of gin a day for five years before she quit drinking (and now has chronic quinine poisoing from the tonic...)

You measure your alcoholic consumption in teaspoons? What the hell are you drinking?! Methanol?!

Also, that "duel" was so clearly staged. The whole thing's probably a way of showing off their "skills" with a lightsabre. A proper swordsman- or even a sport-fencer- would have them for breakfast.

Mine's the one with the Italian style hand-and-a-half longsword next to it.

Your math is flawed due to the following:

Fact 1: He's welsh.

Fact 2: 10 litres of wine may have been finished, but the defendant, but it is impossible to say how much was..

a) urinated away

b) vomited away

c) spilt when pouring

Fact 3: He admits an alcohol problem. For someone Welsh to admit this their tolerance has probably been built up to some degree. I have know people (Scotland) who can happily drink 5 litres of whisky over the course of a day and still jump walls & hit people with crutches. (My gran for one).

The article doesn't state, was it red or white wine (this makes all the difference to the hangover he would have had)?

It just saves loads of time.

Jail?! Darth Welshie there deserves a medal. He was defending his home from horrible acting, hackneyed plots, and gratuitous CGI. Any reasonable person would have done the same.

Bah. No jedi would retort.

"Ooo.. that kinda hurt" or "thats really quite painful" in a sissy voice like that. Shoulda locked the 'jedis' up for bothering to disturb the (police) force.

Mines the mandalorian armour jacket.

>"If people act a twat in full public view, regardless whether on their own property or not, then they have to accept that they are going to attract proper nutters. That's how things are."

No, don't be a hypocrite, you aren't just claiming that that's "how things are", you're claiming that that's how things are *AND* that it's alright and perfectly reasonable.

You have no right to put your hands on another person if they don't want you to. None at all, because human beings are not toys placed on this earth for your personal sadistic amusement. A penis is even lighter and less weight to it than an alu crutch, but if you think you can go around slapping people with it you're a pervert rapist. No means no, whatever parts of the body are involved.

As to your shithole local, you're just a coward who won't stand up for yourself when people push you around and take the piss out of you in the pub, there's nothing unusual about that but try not to expect everyone else to be as wussy as you. If anyone tries to lay their hands on me when I'm in a pub they get them removed from me pretty fucking sharpish, and I don't accept "ohh sorry I'm a drunk twat it was just a joke" for an answer. I bet you get your pocket picked a lot, you muppet.

Looks like a swamp, nothing to do except Jedi training, then Darth Vader appears and beats the c**p out of you.

Paris: piece of ass, fine she is, yess, hmm?

If they thought it was serious, belt the bugger! Are you seriously telling me you watched that video and thought that was worth court time? Because if you do, you epitomise the abdication of self-reliance to the state that's the reason this country is in such a mess. "Ow, that kind of hurt" doesn't warrant police and court time.

/Mine's the one with manly shoulders.

Thanks, I just spit my drink out. And now I can't the that image of some fool running around slapping people with his penis out of my head.
