Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

If one of the victims was a relative of the judge, he would value the life of those 77 people.

This kinds of sentences encourages any dispute to end up with life threatening actions and killings. The jury should have considered their loved ones were killed by this guy.

This is not justice.

Ahoj,

Your quite right.
Several years ago we had a local judge that was known for his weakness in sentencing until that is his house was burgled (its now a private rest home, so you can imagine how big it is) he then became one of the harshest sentencing judges in the area, especially for burglaries, surprise, surprise.

The Norwegians are very nice people, but if that was a sentence passed in Britain it would encourage all the criminals into committing diabolical crimes.....Norway must hope that will not be the outcome or the result of such a ridiculous verdict.

Interesting take on the Norwegian view to the sentence - Norway jails "sane" Breivik for maximum 21 years

The maximum sentance that can be passed under Norwegian law is 21 years.
This is revieved after ten years.I think he will die in prison.
All this time he will be in solitary confinement.

The teacher began calling out the names of the pupils:

"Achmed El Kabul?"

"Here"

"Fatima Al Chadoury? "

"Abdul Alu Ohlmi?"

"Here"

"Mohammed Ibn Achrha?"

"Here"

"Mi Cha El Mey Er" Silence in the classroom

"Mi Cha El Mey Er"

Continued silence as everyone looked around the room. She repeated

"Is there any child here called Mi Cha El Mey Er ?"

A boy arose and said

"Sorry teacher. I think that's me

It's pronounced Michael Meyer"

And the teachers name was ?

With downpours expected on Bank Holiday Monday and more rain forecast later in the week it is possible it could be the wettest June, July and August in 100 years.

Anybody got a list of weekend newspaper share tip's

"Anybody got a list of weekend newspaper share tip's", Going by Skinny's link ..buy Water shares!

Buy the banks, I don't write a newspaper, but I have a bi tof paper, pencil and a dictionary, how difficult can it be?

I remember being woken up by my Dad at I think 11pm or later in a foreign country in front of a small black and white tv....for a piece of history....now if the human race goes on to become like something from the Star-Trek series...than that is a monumental moment in time when mankind set down on another (moon-planet)......it is incredible when you think that computers did not exist so the effort by the people who went about putting a man on the moon (for peace reasons, not for war or the military...one must not forget that this was at at a time when the USA was deeply involved with Vietnam and the cold war with Russia....) is enormous......I will never forget that moment of walking into that room with the flickering on the screen from another planet a few minutes before landing !....so Neil Armstrong : rest in peace....

RF - have a read - How powerful was the Apollo 11 computer?
