Well one of them was lying in the middle of the m/way with severely crushed legs but still fighting on, the other decided to punch the female cop and run across three lanes of busy traffic with no fear of being struck down. She was in fact cuffed and restrained as soon as she was caught.
Norman Croucher (OBE) is the acclaimed mountain climber who, despite having two below the knee artificial legs, set out to climb just one of the world's 14 mountains which exceed 8,000 metres (about 26,250 feet) or as he put it "join the 5-mile high club". His goal truly was a near impossible dream. Norman's training for high altitude began in 1969 with a punishing solo 874 mile walk from John o' Groats to Land's End. He then made a score of ascents in the Alps, including the Matterhorn, the Eiger and Mont Blanc. In 1978 he led a successful expedition to Peru, where he and his team ascended three mountains, including the north summit of the country's highest mountain, Huascaran, (6,654m - 21,830ft). In 1981 he reached the top of his first Himalayan peak, White Needle (6,706m - 22,000ft) in Kashmir. The same year, on an expedition to Argentina, he seemed faced with failure when his left artificial leg broke because of metal fatigue, yet he set off on one leg to crawl and walk on crutches to the top of a mountain of 5,115m (16,801ft)! The next year he succeeded on Muztagh Ata (7,546m - 24,757ft) in China. His ascents of mountains in excess of 3,000m (9,840ft) number eighty, including sixteen above 6,000 (19,680ft). His first attempt at an 8,000 metre peak ended when he was injured by a falling rock. On his second try, the leader of a commercial expedition, having accepted fees to organise an expedition supposedly for the benefit of his clients, proceeded to the summit with a sherpa, without giving an opportunity to any clients. Norman's third attempt ended at about 7,600m (25,00ft) because of frostbite. Not being one to give up easily, without bottled oxygen, he climbed the sixth highest mountain in the world, Cho Oyo in Tibet, which stands at 8,201m (26,906ft). On the descent he survived a night out at 7,800m without a tent or sleeping bag, by removing his legs and sliding inside his large, lightweight rucksack. "This produced the season's most outstanding ascent of the mountain and indeed one of the most outstanding in Nepal/Tibet when Norman reached the summit with his Sherpa companion." High Magazine
After being in a relationship with an alcoholic, albeit a 'functioning alcoholic' I would expect any future partner to treat alcohol the same as me, able to take it or leave it...moderation is the key.
My place of work is about as environmentally unfriendly as you can get. I rent a 4000 sq ft unit in a huge 6 floor (that would be 7 floors in the US) Victorian mill. On the 1st October the heating come on whether it's needed or not. The heating is run by a coal fired boiler which forces steam around the building via cast iron pipes. This year as usual the weather was extremely mild an we had to open all the windows and doors to allow the unbearable heat to escape, the same thing happens in spring as the heating doesn't shut down till the beginning of April. What makes it even worse is the joiners workshop above us takes about half a ton of hardwood offcuts to landfill sites.
I don't thinks so, he's up there with the very best.
I remember listening to an interview with Jeff Lynne who alongside Dylan played in The Traveling Wilburys when he spoke about this song.
"Someone mentioned the words Tweeter and the monkey man, Dylan said, hey that would make a good title for a song. In less than an hour Dylan had written the words and the music to the song, it was at this moment I realised this man was indeed a genius."

RE: How do you drink your beer?
I would save your preaching for those a bit closer.Whilst spending some time in Pakistan it didn't take me long to realise how far a bottle of 'fire water' could get you if offered as a bribe.
