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.

Great piccy, driver. Didn't realise the yanks had developed an underwater space shuttle.
probably fishing for sponges to help with global warming.

Still at it.

The two at the back are kicking the front pair in the compass/north-west passage!

I once got kicked in the fracas

alan, my passage isn't really big enough to accomodate a compass but it does have a certain notoriety as most of bolton has seen it at one time or another :))

Blair axes soft

About bloody time (if its true, headline was in the sun) we as a nation are far to soft on criminals. The tree hugging liberals whining about civil rights etc.
As far as I can see if you commit a crime and are sentenced you should lose your rights to be pampered. Life should mean 25 year min - no early release - If you misbehave they should add time on.
I really dont like the idea of long prison sentences for murders, rapists and drug dealers, I'd rather alter the current system and bring in the death penalty. Not the pathetic american system but a real deterent and a real punishment fit for the dregs of society.

oops didnt mean to bold and underline all that

sorry

Bosley, do you own a brewery? I had a pint of bitter the other day, it was named 'Bosley Cloud' - a very nice pint it was too!

I would bring back the death penalty for taking two spaces in a car park.
That really frosts my nuts.

Kim,
No but he is a major customer. The cloud refers to the after effects.

Marc, have you just had a few pints of Bosley Cloud?!

I agree that we are too soft on criminals.

Apparently frosty nuts are bad for you Alan, shredded wheat is healthier!

So I take it that you are recommending that particular libation, Kim?
I was going to join CAMRA but didn't incase I got ripped off.
I once joined Greenpeace to Save the Whales.
I saved 15 whales, had to move house to store them all, and when I rang to see if I had enough to send in for a prize I got a snotty letter and a visit from the RSPCA.
Ungrateful bunch.

Tis an interesting new topic, for our delictation.
For what would we re-introduce the death penalty.
Taking 2 spaces in a car park and wilfull stupidity gets my vote. So does wearing a burberry baseball cap.
Any more takers?

I would happily accept that libation any time Alan!

I once misunderstood the meaning of SOS, thought it meant Save our Soles; I now have 25 million pairs of old shoes stacked up in my garage.

Dropping chewing gum on the street or sticking it on a chair is another one.
In Leeds, there are 2 heinous crimes that are currently feeling the full majesty of the judicial process. The local council are handing down the highest possible sentances in order to set an example and deter others.
I refer of course to people driving at 32mph or dropping used cigarette ends on the streets, the bastards.
If the clampdown works they may even start on theives, rapists and murderers.

To bring back the death penalty for case where there is no doubt should be a no brainer - for example - you sat at your desk and the cleaner walks into the office and kills the person oppersite you. You saw it, as did everyone else in the office. There is no doubt, I dont care if he had a teddy bear or not as a child, he deserves to die.
As for killing people who take up 2 parking spaces im not so sure, maybe take away HER driving licence.

Death penalty for:-
Not getting out of my way in the supermarket when I want to push my overloaded trolley down the aisle.
Wearing a hair piece which does not match the colour of what little hair is left.
Taking the last space in a car park when I wanted it.
Is being Prime Minister being a tad unfair?

only if your pretending to be a prime minister like blair and his puppet cabinet

Marc .......what have you said? HER driving licence? The girlies are going to get you now!! Mind you, on reflection, how my wife was allowed one is beyond my comprehension!
