The thing that bothers me about this story is why we spent years messing about with extradition, when we could just have tried him here, slung him in jail and avoided the whole circus.

We have gone through this ridiculous pantomime just so that the Americans can say he received American justice.

He could have been locked up here, for the same…[Read more]

I agree.

The gollywog wasn’t offensive as such, but when it was removed from the jam jars because the word was a very common form of abuse.

The doll just got caught up by being associated with a word which was used as a racist insult. Depending on what story you believe, when it was invented it wasn’t called a gollywog. It is understandable,…[Read more]

Some of the consent laws in other countries are designed to stop teenagers experimenting with each other being turned into criminals, e.g. a 16 year old boy and a 15 year old girl. In those cases it is still considered illegal for a 30 year old to have sex with a 15 year old.

Our law is just straightforward with no shades of grey. I sometimes…[Read more]

Different offence.

The FA apparently took the view that using the words on the field of play was enough to be an offence, and they don’t have to go with “beyond reasonable doubt” as a standard of proof. It’s just the same as at work if you are sacked – it only has to be proved on a balance of probabilities.

Don’t know if it’s fair or not.…[Read more]

When I’ve been in the rooms recently, F2 opens up mid to late evening and keeps going to about 2 in the morning as long as there’s a couple of talkative, pushy prats who talk to anyone, including the lurkers. I, of course, am just that kind of prat.

I pop on every now and then. It’s fun cos we draw the unsuspecting into some of the most random…[Read more]

Is that in British law, or French law?

French law as it was reported. Not sure about the English and Welsh peeping tom laws.

Partick Thistle.

Top of the First Division again for the first time in years.

Should the photographer be put in prison though? :roll: It’s all a bit silly.

Only a crime evidently if she could not be seen from a public place without a telesope or similar.

Probably over the top for him/her to go to prison, but I think it is accepted that the mag wont reveal its source.

I am happy to say that I did precisely that – worked hard (hating every minute of it), jacked it in, moved to France and teach/coach swimming. A little like what Sgt said – I reckon a lot of sportspeeps always ‘wish’ – so, what I couldn’t have, through illness, I have gained from teaching/coaching – and, I do wake up with a smile on my…

Lots of wonderful fantasy ideas but, given what I used to enjoy doing, it’s would realistically have to be:

– play the violin for a living
– coach athletics
– teach at university

Sadly none of these are likely so I have to be content with my lot.

See happy
