It's 'hanged', not 'hung', in that context.


You're wrong, as always.


Just saying that doesn't make you right.

In the context of your sentence, 'hung' is wrong. It should have been
'hanged'.

For confirmation, GIYF.

yep. hung is for meat, curtains and sexual organs, hanged is for
suicides and murderers.

it should be clear by now to everyone that activist environmentalism
(or environmental activism) is becoming a general ideology about humans,
about their freedom, about the relationship between the individual and
the state, and about the manipulation of people under the guise of a
'noble' idea. It is not an honest pursuit of 'sustainable development,'
a matter of elementary environmental protection, or a search for
rational mechanisms designed to achieve a healthy environment. Yet
things do occur that make you shake your head and remind yourself that
you live neither in Joseph Stalins Communist era, nor in the Orwellian
utopia of 1984.

Pictures can be hung, but people are always hanged. ... Hanged, as a past tense and a past participle of hang, is used in the sense of to put to death by hanging, as in Frontier courts hanged many a prisoner after a summary trial

all insurance is theft ...............

As I'm sure I have said here before, for me the stock answer
on
(relatively) small item insurance is quite simple.

The provider wants to sell cover on which they can turn a
profit.
Overall, therefore, they pay out less than they charge, and
on
average, so long as you can stand the potential loss, you are
better off putting your money in a savings account and taking
the
chance.

When cold called by providers, I sometimes attempt to explain
this simple concept, and am surprised how few appreciate the
basic maths.

I only insure things I couldn't afford to replace. (House)

I don't even insure the house. Because its all electric and
almost entirely concrete, steel, glass, quarry tiles, no
curtains
leather armchairs etc, its never going to burn down, and since
I built it from scratch on a bare block of land, I can fix
whatever
say get damaged by one of the trees etc if I need to for a lot
less than insurance every year would have cost me.

Or I legally have to. (Car)

I did insure the latest new car for the first year, because the
insurance was insanely cheap, just $100 and we have lots of
illegal fruit pickers etc here who have no assets at all and
would
just **** off somewhere else if they wiped out the new car.

I suppose tin shacks are pretty cheap.

wagga wagga

wonder if he knows Bill Kerr ? ....

Nope.
he is dead now anyway ....

Never stopped you necrophiliacs.

you are confusing me with Jim....Jimmy savelle ......

Nope, we have the videos on youtube


is nope your favourite word ....


Nope, dope.

and don't say nope or yep ......


Nope, yep, dope.


I told you not to ........


You have always been, and always will be, completely and utterly
irrelevant. What you might or might have told in spades, dope.

FWIW - I just had a renewal through from Quotemehappy (used them for the
first time last year) and with no changes it's 12% / £25 cheaper than
last year and nearly £30 cheaper than the best the meerkat / GoCompare
can find.
