Dear Norris & Ross…..

Post by mik »

Today I managed to figure out how to use the little sanding discs on my new Dremel (a design most unobvious I would attest) which drove a desire to then separate the storage of my various little sanding discs from the thicker (yet using the same attachment methodology) grinding discs so I tried an old plastic SD card holder box thingy only to find myself foiled by the internal ribs but then I realised I could use the very Dremel tool with grinding disc to remove the ribs followed by sanding disc to smoothe the shoddy job that I had just completed so what I want to know Norris and Ross is whether exclusively using a tool items to create storage for the very same tool items is in fact a record? 8-)

Yours, dedicated,

Mik

I admire your dedication, Mik!

I wonder how many people on here will know who Norris & Ross are (or rather were)?
If you get all wobbly-lipped about the opinion of Internet strangers, maybe it's time to take a bath with the toaster as you'll never amount to sh1t anyway.

It took me a while to work out who those stout fellows were.

I remember being very bemused that Ross was assassinated by the IRA, but I guess he must have been involved in other shizzle in addition to the Guiness stuff...

Edit: off on a tangent, but wiki info below.

Views on Ireland
McWhirter advocated various restrictions on the freedom of the Irish community in Britain, such as making it compulsory for all of them to register with the local police and to provide signed photographs of themselves when renting flats or booking into hotels and hostels.[8] In addition, McWhirter offered a £50,000 reward for information leading to a conviction for several recent high-profile bombings in England that were publicly claimed by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA). In doing so, McWhirter recognised that he could then be a target himself.[8] This was described as a bounty by McWhirter, and considered a bounty by the IRA Army Council, a view that led directly to the events that followed, although the idea was not originally his, but that of John Gouriet.[9]

Assassination
On 27 November 1975 at 6.45 p.m., McWhirter was shot and killed by two IRA volunteers, Harry Duggan and Hugh Doherty, both of whom were members of what became known as the Balcombe Street Gang,[10] the group for whose capture McWhirter had offered the reward. McWhirter was shot at close range in the head and chest with a .357 Magnum revolver outside his home in Village Road, Bush Hill Park.[11] He was taken to Chase Farm Hospital, but died soon after being admitted. Duggan and Doherty were apprehended following the Balcombe Street siege and charged with murdering McWhirter, in addition to nine other victims.[10] They were sentenced to life imprisonment, but released in 1999 under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement.[12]
