Smirking_Saint Posted 19 April, 2015 Share Posted 19 April, 2015 Answers above So anyone that runs should be shot then ? Even if the arrest is just for, say, a speeding ticket ? Do you not find that slightly harsh ? As for the threat, where is it coming from ? How does the officer percieve a high enough threat to fire when the civilian is running away ? And so surely must pose a minimal threat ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio Saint Posted 19 April, 2015 Share Posted 19 April, 2015 A pub. Actually, that is what is REALLY wrong with America. No pubs!!! I often get asked what is the difference between a pub and a bar. It's vexed me for so long that all I can really say is "A bar serves drinks to people that want a drink, while a pub serves drinks to people that want a drink, but bars are crap and pubs are great.

Pick any of the following topics, then we can debate mindlessly over the next six months. Your choice! 1. Beer 2. Philly steak sandwiches (or more generally, large portions of too much protein) 3.

Coxford_lou Posted 20 April, 2015 Share Posted 20 April, 2015 What is "real ale" I am genuinely interested to know..........that the same as a micro-brewery?? Yes, more or less. Although I guess micro brewery just means small scale, but I think when most people use the term in the States they mean ales or stouts. Whereas as over here, the most popular ales are produced by large scale breweries with recipes honed over many years. Micro breweries here seem to be more popular recently, with pubs often experimenting with different variants. My experience of micro breweries in the States has been a less sophisticated beer, I have to say. And sometimes, plain horrible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou some are terrible!!!.......the best IMO is Sam Adams but is almost mainstream now ........there's one I gotta try from Kennebunkport....I will be in Maine in June can get in the grocery store.

buctootim Posted 21 April, 2015 Share Posted 21 April, 2015 There are two differences 1, Real ale is live - ie it has not been pasteurised (heat treated) to kill off the yeast and any bugs. 2. It is not artificially gassed up with Co2 in a pressurised keg. It's like the difference between raw milk and long life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TY .........it is dangerous to drink raw milk i.e. unpasteurized can get meningiteous (ok spelling) yhere were 2 kids died on a dairy farm in Sarnia drinking raw milk about 15 years ago........but draft beer here is un-pasteurized.

sadoldgit Posted 21 April, 2015 Share Posted 21 April, 2015 1975 if you want to know..........and even you must acknowledge that a load of pubs have gone. Yes lots have closed but that doesn't mean to say that there aren't any left. There are still plenty around. And Britain has changed hugely since 1975. The 70s wasn't great. 3 day weeks, crap fashions, the IRA bombings etc. But you know what, we are quite civilised now.

norwaysaint Posted 21 April, 2015 Share Posted 21 April, 2015 I don't get American football at all. Obviously that's my loss as there are millions who get a lot of enjoyment from it, but the average televised game lasts over three hours which consist of at least one hour of adverts and only 11 minutes with the ball actually in play. That seems mind numbing to me and is exactly how I've felt every time I've tried to watch it. I just don't see how that can be compared to proper football where the ball is almost constantly in play and there is only one short break in the entire match.

You should watch something that's more suited to your attention span. The 100m is over pretty quick, no ads in the middle and even has a gun at the start.

norwaysaint Posted 21 April, 2015 Share Posted 21 April, 2015 How long are the balls in play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilton Saint Posted 21 April, 2015 Share Posted 21 April, 2015 How long are the balls in play? Assuming that you are referring to American football again (): the game consists of 4 quarters; each quarter runs for 15 minutes, but the clock starts and stops at the beginning and end of each separate "play"; the referee signals by whistle the when the clock should run or stop. So, the actual amount of time that the ball is in play is 60 minutes. Half-time comes at the end of the first two quarters. The referee has to constantly delay the re-start of the action in a televised game, in order to allow the broadcast of a couple of ads. Each team can also call three "time-outs" during each half of the game. Time-outs are usually called so that the coach can discuss strategy for upcoming key plays, or to stall the momentum of the opposing team. The teams switch ends at the end of the first and third quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
