I remember, from a similar “rape” issue that occurred in Pakistan a while ago and which was discussed at length on these boards, that for a female to claim “rape” (under THEIR law) she had to provide FOUR witnesses to the event.

Given that, in some cases, a woman’s unsupported word under OUR laws to gain a conviction for rape, this might seem…[Read more]

Leaving aside the more hysterical comments in the “Daily Fascist” …. the last line was most interesting:

So this 23 year old “single woman” who lives in a secular society where these rules apply, knowingly accepts a lift from…[Read more]

This is a typically tight-arsed Jock excuse for a New Year’s resolution. They’d do anything to avoid paying taxes – particularly taxes that go to the English!!!

No … you keep on smoking 80 a day and paying all that lovely tax to us lot down south.

(Good job they weren’t baby bats …. or she’d be really angry)

…. oh, I thought it was a “Lesser Spotted Bat”.

…. oh and if you need to use a public lavatory on your travels, they are all helpfully signposted on our Motorways.

Just follow any sign that says “Birmingham”, “Manchester” or “Newcastle”.

Most (if not all) councils have plenty of snow plough attachments for their gritting trucks, but the light scattering of snow we’ve had recently doesn’t warrant a snow plough.
I wonder what happens when a snow plough clouts a speed bump?

Which neatly encapsulates the gross collective stupidity of the Media. They whinge endlessley about…[Read more]

As a footnote: If it wasn’t for these “national disasters” occuring every so often, the good ladies of the WRVS (and numerous other ‘caring’ organisations) wouldn’t have anybody to force their hot tea and ersatz sympathy onto would they?

They’d have to retreat to their ‘nice’ little homes and knit some more woollen socks for the poor & needy. Now…[Read more]

So now that the record snowfall (in the South East at any rate) has abated and life returns to some semblance of normality – were the Media being unfair to the powers that be or merely hyping up a minor drama into a major crisis as usual???

OK so there wern’t any snowploughs. No surprise there though. At a cost of something like £100,000 each…[Read more]

As I understand it, and cutting through all the Media hype … this was a sub-contract and was for construction work at the power station – nothing to do with the actual operation of the power station itself.

Also, it appears that an un-named BRITISH construction / building subcontractor initially held the contract and (typically some might…[Read more]

This version is particularly moving as well.

We’d like to apologise for having fewer Forums than some other sites ……………….. still less is more as they say.

Well that’s my wrist slapped huh?

Along with many, I miss “Lil Angel”. It’s always sad when a long standing members passes away and she left an indelible imprint on many people’s memories.

I share ForumHosCL’s disappointment at the behaviour recently displayed by a small minority of Forum 3 users – particularly after the Radio Quiz is over.

The fact is that everybody is welcome to join in and share in the fun and enjoyment. The rivalry between the teams is a healthy thing – provided it doesn’t get out of hand. It must be remembered…[Read more]
