...when you say the police "maced" Barry Macdermott, do you mean they hit him with one of these?

Whatever happened to the good old fashioned bobby's truncheon?
Incidentally, I find it horribly sinister that you can actually buy this tuff on line. And does anyone interested in this kind of stuff really need to be warned that "this can be used as a dangerous weapon"?
NO!
REALLY?!

I'm wondering what one might be thinking as one ordered something like that....
I'm sure it is only for bona fide peaceful fans of medieval memorabilia....and perhaps the odd psycho.....
I have never really understood the attraction of stuff like that. I know some people who are into battle re-enactment etc. Very odd.
Battle re-enactors are tragic. It's always about ten people who think that growing beards and charging around a muddy field in vaguely period costume transports spectators back in time so that they say "Wow! Now THAT is exactly what the Battle of Agincourt must have REALLY been like!"
Did you see that documentary on telly before Xmas about a group of blokes (sadly there were about a hundred of them) who (suspciously) only liked re-enacting battles in which the SS fought? They had all the gear, even armoured cars and German jeeps etc. Unsurprisingly, it turned out to be a thin cover for a gathering of neo-Nazis....
You can buy all that stuff in a shop in York. In these times of terrorism and gang attacks on the streets, it's rediculous how easy you can get this stuff.
Barry is one of the nicest and most honest people in rugby league. He's now retired and works for Sky. He's a brilliant pundit and a great ambassador(spl) for the game. I have been lucky enough to meet and have a conversation with him. He's a really top bloke. You would not want to get on the wrong side of him though! He's built like a brick shithouse! His book is a must read too, had me rolling about laughing!
I can imagine. I suppose even the most even tempered rugby player must simply lose his rag occasionally....
