Four men have been arrested following the alleged intimidation of a witness in a court case.

The alleged intimidation took place at about 20:00 GMT on Tuesday night in the Moor Road area of Coalisland.

Three men forced their way into a house and made threats to a 35-year-old man. They ran off when he challenged them.


:lol:

Clearly not very intimidating or they failed to check who they were threatening.

Yes but America can throw out really good candidates for Fail of the Year. How on earth can you mistake ASL for gang signs? Unless it was a deaf gang? :shock: :roll:

Increasingly, I'll place an order with a company and it doesn't show up in their order list - ShirtPunch, Tesco, and now ShopTo.

ShirtPunch aren't the most professional outfit so I accept that, but my file at Tesco was actually corrupt and I had to speak to the manager to get a direct refund on my say so (!) back to my card.

With ShopTo (who I'd used before) I paid with Paypal, but there's no mention in the order list, and contacting them by anything but phone sees you going round in circles :roll:

What the feck's wrong with these companies? :?

Having worked with paypal... it;s usually a lot extra to convert a paypal receipt to a regular order and on some systems isn't feasable

Try using Google Wallet! That is even worse from my experience

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

They are lucky to be alive. Rhino's are very bad tempered. I would want to be behind a steel fence rather than be that close.

Me.

I put some fabric conditioner in the drawer and one of those cellophane capsules in the drum. Shut the door, set the program and pressed the button to start the wash.

Can anyone spot what important step I forgot?

Thought the Random Sh!t thread was locked. Reported it, only to realise a mod had opened it, posted in the thread and then locked it. WTF?!?!?

Ninja mod skillz. I guess Mark felt the post was relevant to that thread and not the new one. *shrug*
