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.

Any me nutw now!


A black popec?

A female pope?

Looks like a South American pope.

A Jesuit pope!

Francis the first from Brazil
Son of an Italian immigrant.

Argentinian not Brazilian.

I think he is the first Jesuit pope. The cardinals usually try and block Jesuit cardinals from being pope. The head of the Jesuits is called the Black Pope because of his power in Rome.

I wouldn't usually support Bayern Munich, but as a Spurs supporter I have to this evening.

,

Are you still skinny dipping DC or are you back home freezing to death?

Still here 3m, in the mid 70's . It does not look very good at home. Leave/ flight home friday 9.30am. Oh to stay here.lol

Gosh if I had the chance I would flipping stay and make alternative arrangements back home and alter flight - even move hotels if I could afford it. Crap to say the least here, even more crap, when one, per chance watches the b. awful news. However one has commitments and if cirsumstances prevail then have a safe journey back.

You've got to feel sorry for Chris Hulme and Vicky Pryce. The one minute, spending a life of luxury,not really wanting for anything,all at the taxpayers expense, the next minute, they'll be back out of prison.

I will be booking for next year, as soon as I get home. Just eating the chocs left in my room. lol

I don't think they will have a good time for ONE OR TWO MINUTES in Prison unless they are kept in Solitary Confinment. I am not saying that they are not gettting their just deserves but I would not want to be in their shoes no matter at what cost. I do not relish the fact that we will be paying for their board and lodgings. They have done wrong and so they should pay - Humilliciation could suffice. Whatever I am pleased to say that I am not corrupt in any way shape or form.

Book me in your suitcase DC for next year haha!!! Do not think your wife would like that. Hope you have had a good time and enjoy tomorrow. Chocs what are they - fattening - good job you can dog walk then off.

Lol 3m, as long as you are not over 20kgs. :-))

The attorney general is considering appealing their sentence as being unduly light.

Whatever Haystack - at the end of the day they perverted the course of justice- they knew better.

Would 9 stone 6lbs be suitable DC at the moment to stow away. Good job we can laugh and get away from the doom and gloom.

Some people are saying that a none custodial sentence would have been sufficient.
Both Hulme and Pryce are multi millionaires, so fining them even if possible (its not as far as I am aware an option re perjury) would have no effect unless it was over £1,000,000. Community service, now that would be a laugh.

Factors to be considered in the offence punishment.

1 the number of offences.
2 whether planned or spontaneous
3 whether they were persisted in
4 whether the lies told or fabrications embarked upon had any actual impact on the proceedings in question.
5 whether the activities of the offender drew in others
6 the relationship between others drawn in and the offender
7 the whole course of conduct

2 to 7 inclusive fitted their actions, so 6 out of 7 is a pretty high score.

In reality they could serve just 1 month and then be allowed un escorted home visits with sleep overs, to help them adjust to realaties of home life, then fully released in a further month, although why would they need to adjust after only 2 months is farsical.

They should at least serve half their sentences of 4 months.
