What lessons can we learn from the mental health solutions discussed?
Well, this one's from Georgie Knight in Wales! It's all the way from Wales! Georgie Knight, he's from Wales!
What happened at Lake Argyle involving crocodiles?
Fuck, I can't wait to go there.
Will you do that every time you walk into a shop or meet anyone? Oh, shit.
What is the significance of the nickname segment?
It's a chicken if I'm still in Wales. Surefire to get punched in the face straight away. Worth it. Every fucking knuckle on the skin. Worth it. Anyhow, that's from Georgie Knight, who happens to be River Wales. More of a claim to shame, really, fellas. This one is a bit crazy. My great uncle, let's call him Uncle Knobhead, because that's what we fucking call him. He was a Welsh nationalist and wasn't the biggest fan of the British royalty. When the now king was attending school in Wales, as he was the Prince of Wales way back then, said Prince would travel by train. Uncle Knobhead, who used to work in the mines as an explosive engineer, stole some explosives. They used to blow up the sides of fucking mountains and timed it so that the falling rocks would hit the passing train.
Holy fuck. Okay. Uncle Nobby drank too much in the morning of his awful plan, and after setting up the boomsticks linked via cord to an old-school push-down detonator, this complete dumb fuck has let go of the stick in the back... Oh, has left the go-go stick in the back pocket, went to take a seat, tripped, and accidentally pulled the detonator down, turning himself into...
holy fuck i did not see that coming there is a lot to unpack do we oh my god
Luckily, there was no training scheduled this day. Also, the complete moron luckily didn't link the boom-booms together and nothing happened. This can all be backed up via a BBC documentary. So yeah, sorry about it. Uncle Nobby'd fucking blew himself the bitch.
We won't say any names, but yeah. July 1st, 1969, two members of a militant group sought to plant a bomb near a railway line in Abergale, North Wales.
He was trying to kill the Prince of Wales with a rock fall.
Falling rock hit the train. So the falling rock would hit the train passing through.
