They are the only troops to try taking on the Nazis without bothering with ammunition.

An Englishman looks at you over his cup of tea and utters two words; slowly and carefully as to avoid actually summoning the demon in question:
Considering the weight those frames can have yeah I can see not being able to lift it with one arm crushed under a double bed. Esp since a good few rely on springs to push them up, if her arm was stopping it making a full close the spring system might not have re-set so its the full weight you've got to lift not just part of the weight and let the springs do the rest.
I agree about the vomiting, though I'm guessing shock and pain likely affected some logical stuff going on. Plus having BBC news going for 12 hours would drive anyone insane (esp since whilst its a 24 hour news channel they tend to only cycle the same half-a-dozen stories - unless its a major news even then its just one story ALL day).
You would think being told you could go home after an arrest with possible jail time would make you sit back and try to enjoy your (temporary) freedom, but nope:
That's what you get with purely punitive legal systems; especially when you hit things like zero bail.
The issue is that after a certain point the punishment loses its fear-factor for them. Furthermore another nasty angle is that many of these people have wound up in a situation where they only know how to commit crime to earn. They don't see/have key skills/options to gain regular employment (which is likely really hard at present with lockdowns and the like 0 companies just aren't looking to hire and even many delivery firms aren't taking on vast numbers of more staff because of restrictions imposed by social distancing in the workplace).
Thing is chances are they are likely of the mindset that they can't earn any other way and they are already caught once and going to gaol, so might as well just keep going
Angry Edinburgh local hits out after swan faces brutal insult on city litter bin
The disgusted passerby said: "It's terrible what the swans around here have got to put up with."
A father swan has been pictured staring at a graffiti slur against his species in Edinburgh as his cygnets lay on the grass nearby.
An angry passerby, who sent the image to the Daily Record, took the photo last night as she passed by the Union canal at Fountainbridge, while out on her government-sanctioned walk.
It shows a Cob, the name for a male swan, looking at a litter bin with the words 'Manky Swan' scrawled across it as his babies lay sleeping nearby.
The disgusted local said: "It's terrible what the swans around here have got to put up with.
"The poor dad was just standing there, looking at this awful insult.
"Probably hoping that the wee ones don't notice it."
Swans in Scotland have been known to clash with people in built up areas. Last year, we told how two adult birds and their five cygnets brought traffic to a standstill in Paisley as they tried to cross the road.
Footage from the scene showed people ushering the flock out of the way of oncoming traffic.
But the mother swan made it perfectly clear that their help was not needed - and took a peck at a woman trying to help the family stay together.
In a separate incident in 2019, footage showed Greenock cops using riot shields and a loaf of bread to control a rogue swan.
The bird landed on the busy street in Inverclyde, about 200 metres from its normal home in Murdieston Park.
A pair of police officers armed themselves with riot shields and bread and spent around half an hour shepherding the bird back home.
A naked man who was sunbathing near a railway line was mistaken for a dead body by police.
Concerned rail workers spotted a pair of feet but "no signs of life" on the grounds of Chafford Hundred railway station, British Transport Police said.
In a tweet, BTP said: "Rushing to the scene, officers found a man in his late 30s enjoying some nude sunbathing."
It happened as temperatures reached 25C (77F) on Monday. BTP added: "Please don't sunbathe nude on the railway."
Chafford Hundred station sits on a single-line railway between London and Southend.
The man was spotted by track workers from Network Rail, who called police.
A spokeswoman for Network Rail said: "Let me lay it bare, the railway is not a place to sunbathe. Please keep away from the tracks."
A spokeswoman for rail operator C2C, which runs a number of services in Essex, declined to comment but said there had been similar episodes of nude sunbathers in the past.
"It is not as uncommon as you might think," she said.
A BTP spokesman said the report was made at about 13:00 BST on Monday in the London Road of West Thurrock and "words of advice were given about the dangers of the railway".

update time
Last week we linked to a Daily Record article about some anti-swan graffiti that had appeared on a bin in Edinburgh – accompanied by an outstanding picture of an aggrieved swan reading it.
As many of you seemed to like it, we've had an update from a Popbitch reader who lives nearby. The original graffiti has been painted over, but a second – arguably better – piece has since reappeared.

I thought manky swans were from Manchester, not Edinburgh.
This council really, really needs to back off. If you agree (and I think you’ve need to be in the U.K.?) there’s a petition calling on them to reconsider.
I mean I can see the councils angle on this, but at the same time surely there are ways around it that he can approach without having to tear it all apart.
I didn't think fancy diets had made their way to Devon yet! Then again these might be townies which are always different to the country lot (which is where my sister is and thus all my views and opinions and information on the rural wilderness that is Devon)

Exeter is, by Shire reckoning, fairly progressive I blame the learning magic leaking out of the University, but Devonlive is like the Onion or Mash but for 'proper' news, recent highlights include motorway closed due to Swan and shop has que
