DIY Great Repeal Act
http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Great_Repeal_Bill
I'm not entirely sure weather anyone will take any notice of this, but it might be worth a browse. Part P is mentioned, but the reasoning text submitted by someone is utter ********. I've left a comment on the discussion page with a view to rewriting that bit. Part L isn't mentioned yet -- Tim Watts Hung parliament? Rather have a hanged parliament. |

No, there are good reasons for all three. Listed buildings are being left to rot, because the rules make them too expensive to fix to te current standards. The ban on handguns is ludiocrous, since anyone with a license ipso facto wont use it for criminal activity, and anyone without a license is already in breach of the law. Foxhunting is a dead issue. No one gives a damn, least of all the police, if a bunch of bearded lunatics in sandals want to throw themselves under the hooves of a bunch of ****ed up lunatics in red coats on horses with large bottoms. On account of a ratty verminous creature that probably ought to be extinct anyway, and at least gets a bit of exercise before it gets its neck broken. Unlike some people. Let them all go into a big field and kill each other. We need the living space. Cheers JimK |

Because he is your elected representative, and if you say you represent a very large on-line community, he bloody well should listen, not because he cares personally, but because he is a bloody professional politician, and it is his JOB to care, and you put him where he is, and you can sack him in 5 years. Or, if he is a total arse, you can go to his boss, and vent your spleen there, and try and get him sacked. |

DIY Great Repeal Act
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember The Natural Philosopher saying something like: Foxhunting is a dead issue. No one gives a damn, least of all the police, if a bunch of bearded lunatics in sandals want to throw themselves under the hooves of a bunch of ****ed up lunatics in red coats on horses with large bottoms. Not just the horses, half the riders have huge arses. |

The fox has the same right to life that you do - whatever that is. My poiunt was that we should repeal the right to life of fox hunters, anti fox hunters and foxes, and et them get on with it. But as for foxes having te same 'right to life' as me? what on earth does that MEAN. The law hasn't stopped foxes being killed anyway, just made it a messier and more potentially full of suffering way. |

Most dictionaries distinguish between the two spellings, where "hanged" is specifically for "kill by hanging" wheras hung is a generic past tense for hang.

Bin bags? We have wheelie bins in Yorkshi-) Bags here, wheelie bins are just so slow, probably OK in an urban enviroment with operatives wheeling bins to small groups where another one loads them onto the wagon and another operative returns them (ha!). Round here the wheels on the wagon hardly stop turning when our bag is collected, blink and you'll miss it. B-) -- Cheers Dave. |

No one gives a damn, least of all the police, if a bunch of bearded lunatics in sandals want to throw themselves under the hooves of a bunch of ****ed up lunatics in red coats on horses with large bottoms. On account of a ratty verminous creature that probably ought to be extinct anyway, and at least gets a bit of exercise before it gets its neck broken. Unlike some people. The fox has the same right to life that you do - whatever that is. Foxes are vermin and a potential vector for rabies should it ever take hold in Britain. The question is not about whether they should be killed, but about in what manner. The Medway Towns seems to be plauged by urban foxes lately. We have a family of 5 living under next doors shed. We have to put our bin bags out 5 mins before the truck arrives or they are torn to shreds. I assembled a 'bin store' for a customer today who has the same trouble. Currently trying to make the garden fox proof. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk Bin bags?
