"14 Year Old Palestinian Man Shot Dead By Jewish Settlers...

[sandyRoe]

...on the West Bank. Two others were seriously injured."

This from BBC World Service radio at 1.30 AM.

Surely a 14 year old is a child?

[Buenchico]

Maybe your hearing isn't as good as it used to be, Sandy?

The age of Khalil Salem Khalil Ziyada is given as 40, rather than 14, here:

[sandyRoe]

Yes.  I've misheard the age.

[youngmafbog]

Sad attempt at anti semitism goes badly wrong.

[sandyRoe]

My old ears have betrayed me.  But Israelis shooting children is nothing new.  Here's a recent incident.

oh dear looks like sandy is a bit mutton!

[sandyRoe]

I'd sooner have thick wax in my ears than be thick between them.

08:52 If having your level of intellect means supporting the Hamas "freedom fighting" baby beheaders then I'm happy to be a "thicko".

08.52 Nice one Sandy.... Pity you can't award yourself B/A

In the past I'd often award myself best answer but the Mods changed things and denied me that simple pleasure.

[naomi24]

The Mods didn't change anything, sandyRoe.  They don't have that ability. 

[gulliver1]

............"They don't have the ability".............

[naomi24]

You keep repeating it gulliver.  Hopefully it will sink in eventually.

[sandyRoe]

Well, someone did.

Spoilsports whoever it was.

[Spungle]

Terrorists are terrorists however old or young they are.

[sandyRoe]

And put a killer in an IDF uniform he's still a murderer.

[gulliver1]

"Ability" - Skill, Expertise, Talent or Aptitude. Which of these were you referring to Naomi ?

[ladybirder]

It was the Eds who stopped ABers awarding themselves BAs.  Quite right too.

[ToraToraTora]

I don't ever remember being able to award ourselves BAs that would be pointless.
