He was 10 in the headline and 9 in the story. Over here, we have kids under 6 doing the shooting. Yessir... we train 'em young. *sigh* it's pure math.... with couple hundred million guns out there, things are gonna happen |

He was 10 in the headline and 9 in the story. Even those educated at top schools (Gordonstoun?) can get it wrong. In a much quoted speech on his mother's 90th birthday recently Prince Charles said; "Your Majesty, Mummy, I find it so very hard to believe you've reached your 90th year". Of course, on the occasion of her 90th birthday she reached her 91st year. Maybe maths isn't the prince's strong point. |

How would the crooks get away with murder then? Even if the hunter WAS insured. Haven't sung that for a long time. |

Well done, guys. Musta been the tent's fault for flapping. |
