A double amputee walking on his stumps

Someone posted this up-thread or on the last thread and I've just watched it. This guy is probably much the same age as OP and his stumps appear to be exactly the same length. Plenty of people have commented how wobbly OP probably is etc etc. It's just under 2 minutes long. You must see this.

I read somewhere that OP's grafts/pads at the bottom of his stumps, have dislodged or something as he has got older and that he needs an operation to fix them.

Would love to know who it was that really noticed or found the spent bullet and when .

Well I do believe it happened when Magena was doing his ballistics investigation. If so, it really doesn't matter who made the observation first because someone in that bathroom was going to make that observation fairly quickly as the ballistics work progressed. And if not, someone would find the bullet when the wood pieces were removed from the toilet and its contents below the blood and water were further examined.

Oh, zwiebel! I am catching up from having missed just about all of this morning because I had an appointment. I read this sentence and just burst out laughing. If a person reading this had no idea there was a mock toilet room for the trial, they would be saying "WTH!!" That statement was priceless!

MOO

She certainly has rheumatoid arthritis. One has only to look at her hands to see that. RA is a systemic autoimmune disease BUT it is quite possible that she has suffered something like polio too. As you say it used to be much more common. I feel for her. If she has severe RA, sitting in court all day will be ghastly for her as it is important to keep on the move. One gets very, very, stiff when sitting for hours.

Maybe that is why they take so many breaks each day.

Indeed this was my post of the day/week too :-D

I did thank zweibel and Trooper earlier in this thread for their tremendous comedy gold. Genius :-D

Wollie, a lot sharper than he presented himself to be imo, seemed to be playing the old, tried and true "plausible deniability" card.

Wollie was supposed to play the old "she was shot in the head first" card. Remember? LOL!

Gerrie Nel has a huge female fanbase, they are on many boards all over the Internet. One on a UK board calls themselves Nel's Belles and they frequently take over the board to discuss many intimate thoughts about Gerrie! Quite embarrassing for me, but really funny! I've seen many get in to that here too from time to time! And I understand why so many ladies would love to have Gerrie over for a nice long CHAT and a HOT cup of tea! LOL!!!

I am a huge fan of Mr. Nel too, not in the same way as Nel's Belles obviously. :floorlaugh: I just see him as a true bada**, a genuine man, "Kicking *advertiser censored** and taking names!" Very cool. :cool:

Ooooh errrrr :blushing:

Love when Mangena is trying to stifle a laugh. Noticed when one of the women were doing their impersonations of OP crying - he was sucking in his cheeks and no doubt biting his lip to stop himself LOL literally! I noticed again today a few times when the ballistics guy was on the stand where he was trying not to laugh. He's got such a lovely smile... I think I might be in love ;)

Don't you have a pic for me? I never saw him and now I'm curious, you know.

LOL. Thanks for this. Here's my version:

Nel: Mr. Pistorius, did you have a pee this morning?
Nel: Why are you crying?

** 10 Minute Adjournment **

Nel: Mr. Pistorius, did you have a pee this morning?
Ocscar: I did my Lady. I relieved myself at 6:42 am.
Nel: YOURSELF. That's right. You relieved YOURSELF. This is all about YOU.
Oscar: Um
Nel: Um? Why did you say um?
Oscar: I, I don't know my Lady. I was confused by the question.
Nel: No no no Mr. Pistorius. You cannot get away with that. You said um. Why would you say that? My question was about whether relieving yourself was all about you. Why did you say um?
Oscar: I don't know my Lady.
Nel: Tell the court exactly what you did.
Oscar: I walked to the bathroom and I raised the lid and
Nel: You raised the lid? Mr. Pistorius you didn't say you raised the lid when you told the court a few minutes ago you relieved yourself at 6:42 am.
Oscar: I raised the lid my Lady. Otherwise there would have been piss all over the floor.
Nel: No Mr. Pistorius. You see? You are tailoring your evidence.
Oscar: I'm not tailoring my evidence my Lady.
Roux: My lady I apologize for it the interjection, but I just wanted to say that your bun is brilliant today. One can only assume it must be there to hold your vast intellect my Lady. Sorry for the interruption my Lady. I just hadn't grovelled to you for while and I was getting anxious. Thank you my Lady.
Judge: Yes.
Nel: Mr. Pistorius, why are you tailoring your evidence?
Oscar: How can you sleep at night?
Nel: What?
Oscar: What?
Nel: Why did you say that?
Oscar: I didn't.
Nel: Mr. Pistorius you asked how I can sleep at night!
Oscar: No I didn't my Lady.
Nel: Do you walk to work or take a lunch?
Oscar: I...what?
Nel: What is the last movie you saw?
Oscar: Escape from Alcatraz
Nel: Okay, so you claim you opened the lid and then what?
Oscar: During the movie? What lid? I had some M & Ms.
Nel: You cannot get away with this Mr. Pistorius. Pretending you don't understand the question. You claimed to this court that you opened the toilet lid. What time did you open it?
Oscar: 6:42 my Lady.
Nel: No! You told this court you relieved yourself at 6:42! You are lying about relieving yourself Mr. Pistorius. Why would you do that? I put it to you that you did not relieve yourself this morning or any time since. What do you say Mr. Pisorius? Sorry, Mr. Pistorius?
Oscar: I relieved myself my Lady. As I said, I relieved myself on the balcony at 6:42.
Nel: The balcony?
Oscar: I made a mistake my Lady. I relieved myself in the toilet.
Nel: May it please the court my lady I'd like to please the court. Can we take a short adjournment, please? To please the court?

Adjourned.

Final report dated 23rd April 2014, beer with Dixon after he finished his testimony, you do the maths.
Dixon was nothing but a decoy to flush out question's from Nel.

As far as I'm aware neither of these guys are on trial, they can do whatever they please together as long as it's legal. It's an issue as to whether it's the done thing, but that's all.

Captain Mangena and Wollie are both ballistics experts. They may disagree on trajectories, shot sequence and bullet impact, however unless Wollie has magically moved the bullet-holes in the door I haven't a clue what evidence he can possibly have tailored.

Did anyone just notice the size of Woolies briefcase? I was more like a suitcase and yet he's got no notes, no reports, no laptop/computer with all his findings on .. so what's he got in there then? :facepalm:

Comment: In among the seriousness of following the evidence today - I found this question hilarious.:floorlaugh:

Whiterum's post in reply:
"Six pairs of underwear, an apple, a machine gun, a wire brush, and two slices of stale bread?" :floorlaugh:

BTW thank you for the wit & humour. It is enjoyed.

Do you think today's testimony has strengthened the defence case at all.
I can't see anything myself but I have missed bits again today.

The comment that most stood out to me today was when Wolmarans said "anything is possible." That comment suggests they are stretching as far as they can to present a scenario that is even marginally plausible on this planet.

As always, all of the above is just my opinion.
