The cheek of it! Beach bar owner shoots nude bather in the booty A bar owner in southern Corsica stands accused of firing a pellet into the booty of a nudist who refused to cover up during a beach bathing session. The Italian holidaymaker was relaxing with a bunch of similarly un-attired pals on the Mediterranean island, one of the 18 administrative regions of France, when all were told by …
Rare to get the weather here for a start (not since June this year anyway). It's a pity really that Britain is the way it is about body acceptance - we'd all be a lot more relaxed and less uptight otherwise.
Mind you, plenty of European countries are more relaxed about it, but still manage to remain uptight about a lot of things.
Did they check the drinks seller for excessively sampling his own wares?

The French papers had a recent survey about which nationalities of women were comfortable about being topless on a beach, and Britain didn't do too badly. No surprise that the US was joint last...
Spain 49%
Germany 41%
Netherlands 35%
France 29%
UK 26%
Italy 20%
US 11%
Canada 11%
I used to work with a French woman who made disparaging remarks about all the French islands, along the lines of what we'd probably say about Norfolk (UK). Why do I immediately have a vision of Mohammar Szyslak-Yeti from The Simpsons as the booze jockey in this scenario?
My sister was a principal at an elementary school where this fashion statement was in vogue. Her method of discouraging it was to say that "Looks like your diapers are a bit full there". The effect was pretty good.
Of course there is "plumbers crack" which is a whole different story.
Has anyone else noticed that the fashion for young men to wear their jeans so low that everybody has to see their boxer-shorts clad arses has only come about since BB guns have effectively been banned?
Are you postulating that the BB extinction has allowed a species of low arsed jeans wearing apes to thrive? I think we should all count ourselves lucky that 'commando' is not also currently in fashion.
Though my memories are a little vague because I was 7 at the time, and that was a long time ago.
But it was a good holiday, and there was the time we went on a coach tour that went round the narrow roads on the mountain, and some idiot crashed into the back wheel, of which I was sat right above.
Their Citroen was written off, the coach only needed a new hubcap :)
Should have used a paint gun, dual purpose.
I remember years ago visiting Fuerteventura and accidentally stumbling onto the nudist beach at costa calma to see what I can only describe from the distance as super mario going for a jog, it was only close up that I realised it was not the iconic plumber and it wasn't a plunger he was carrying. I've had eye laser surgery since then which is probably a good thing.
At first I thought this is a useless article without pictures. Then I thought about it. There are some nude women who will be good for a bar's business. There are other nude women who would likely drive men to drink heavily....someplace else. I am guessing this was the latter and that is why she was chased off.....and that is why I am grateful there are no pictures!
Paris because she would be good for the bar's business if properly (un)attired.

"There's only one scene to be remembered."Oh I dunno. I quite like the beginning...
"the famous one with Elizabeth of Windsor in it,"
The morning exercise one? "Chest in, chest out ...ping!". That's the clip that is often used whenever Carry On Camping is given as an example of a genre.
Carry On Sergeant is also remembered for one scene. Bob Monkhouse is not paying attention in a weapon maintenance class. Sergeant picks him out to reassemble a machine gun - which he does very quickly and smoothly. Sergeant apologises for thinking he wasn't paying attention. "Oh I wasn't - but my job in civvy street was assembling these".
"the famous one with Elizabeth of Windsor in it, if memory serves me"
I'm afraid that memory has not served you - wrong 'Windsor'.
Formally Saxe-Coburg & Gotha, Elizabeth Windsor is currently reigning monarch of the United Kingdom and the Commonweath.
Memory, if it had been serving, would have served you Barbara Windsor.
Rock-salt shotguns are SO last century. Trade up to a paintball gun! They don't penetrate but DO hurt like hell, and leave a nice round welt for a couple of weeks as a reminder. Being cheap and non-damaging you can send a rain of stinging projectiles to smite your interlopers.
Seriously, this is what they should arm security robots with. Totally non-lethal and HURTS.

Not to disagree, but few have spent the years needed to reach that level of physical badassery. As such, it's not something you can advocate to the general public.
This is also a British rag filled with nanny-state inmates who will downvote any suggestion of using violence to defend oneself. Don't take it personally.
I guess they haven't needed to fight real bears or cougars. Not much different than fighting the human ones.

Sometimes in practice I would wear a white belt. It is a very good distraction for the opponent. I have always been a teacher.
Physical strength is not necessary. How much energy do you think it takes to crush a windpipe? They will instantly not be singing any song at all. It is about confidence, concentration as well as human psychology. You can cut me with a knife but you will die first as I stop the bleeding and walk to the hospital for a few stitches.
In altercations with firearms only one in ten actually make a hit with the first shot. See ya later alligator.
