  • what is the craziest and oldest law that you know was never repealed?

    I am aware that, in the UK, a person can still be executed for treason and you can technically hang a man for stealing your car. The car one is clever as it dates back to the time of horses. If someone stole your horse, it was deemed that they stole your livelihood as the horse was your transport to convey both yourself and your goods. The car replaced the horse and the law was not repealed, therefore, if you are willing to risk a murder charge, you can legally hang somebody for stealing your car. One local bye-law, that was only repealed around 10 years ago, applied in a Northern village called Blackhall. The law allowed you to have sex, in public, on one side of the street but not the other. That law went back a few hundred years. Sadly, no! you can't go to Blackhall and have sex in public, it's illegal throughout the village now LOL

  • Should Alonso be forced to give way to Hamilton?

    After the disgusting behaviour, once again, by Fernando Alonso, should he be punished? For holding Lewis up, thus preventing Lewis getting his Qualifying lap in, should he give way at the start of tomorrow's race? Should Ron Dennis sack him? or should they hold him up at the first pit stop, for double the number of seconds that he help Lewis up by? Hamilton would have got Pole Position (P1) and Alonso knew it. We have seen, on a few ocassions, Fernando going into a five year old child's tantrum. McClaren shouldn't put up with the Spaniards spoilt, bratish behaviour any longer. What do you think?

  • Does anybody know if the CEO of Starbucks is still funding the Israeli Armed Forces?

    In the late 90s, the CEO of Starbucks was given an Israeli award for funding the Armed Forces. The funds were partly responsible for the deaths of Palestinian Women and Children. Starbucks, today are paying so little to the Ethiopian Coffee Farmers that farmers cannot afford medicine or educate their children. Also, the farmers cannot afford to save money in case of crop failure (drought). Should there be a drought, many farmers and their families will die from disease and hunger. Basically, if anybody buys a Starbucks coffee, they are condoning the murder of innocent women and children. Starbucks pay 70p ($1.40) per kilo for coffee and are now selling it in UK supermarkets for as much as £16 ( $32) per kilo. In their coffee shops, one kilo of coffee will generate at least £100+. Is this fair? Should Governments regulate their profit margins? and should Starbucks pay the farmers at least double for the coffee. Should the CEO face criminal charges for funding Arms (Israel)?
