  • Hard News: A depressing day in court,

    Is "move to Sweden" the modern day equivalent of get thee to a nunnery?

  • Hard News: A depressing day in court,

    Can I recommend the Bill Bailey video, linked to in this HN, as an antidote to a depressing day in court.

    Some of you need a good laugh.

    but you hit me first, no i didnt, you hit me first, I did not, yes you did, if you say that again and I'll smash you, ...... and so on and so on.

  • Hard News: A depressing day in court,

    A parent and child are in Foodtown, and the parent lightly smacks his/her child for disobeying a very important instruction. On the child's part it is willful disobedience and on the parent's part it is considered and done without anger. If someone sees this happen, could they report this to the police and will the parent be prosecuted under Labour's new law? Help me with the truth here; there's been so much misinformation from all parties.

    Lets reframe this scenario ever so slightly ..
    A child and elderly parent are in Foodtown, and the child lightly smacks his/her parent for disobeying a very important instruction. On the parents part it is willful disobedience and on the child's part it is considered and done without anger. If someone sees this happen, could they report this to the police and will the child be prosecuted under exsisting law?

    Hope this helps

  • Island Life: A Rat At My Table,

    Would that be Capt. Willard?

    I was thinking more of the movie Willard (1971, remade in 2003 ish) mind you there is a tenuous connection...

    " Charlie is dug in too deep, or moving too fast. His idea of R&R was cold rice and a little rat meat. He had only two ways home, death or victory" Capt Willard

  • Hard News: The Solipsistic Left,

    as long as you have a country with straight lines on its national borders there will be post-colonial internal trouble

    In support of your argument I wouild like to refer you to the pub in Spike Milligan's Puckoon as the definitive example of post colonial internal trouble.

    Apologies if anybody feels upset that this post has wondered over from the "life in books" thread, consider it an "Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter" moment.

  • Hard News: Things we needed to hear,

    surely not the same D4J that features down at misogyny corner ....

    Yes the plight of men does look to make the endangered list ( eunuchs , homosexuals and girlymen are ok -eh H2, B1 and K1 ), as Supreme Leader cranks the "ism " up another notch

    ya right

    or maybe that's what the "open the closet" reference is about
