A summons is deemed to be served if sent via first class post to the respondent's correct postal address. However he does have a bit of a get-out card if he alleges it didn't arrive. Your best bet...

In which case they'll be expecting a bill from HMG for the garrison protecting them and their oil.

I've been a BTP officer for 10 years so my answer to the OP's question is a bit of a no brainer. Of course we need the railway police, otherwise I'd have to join a proper farce and work twice as...

All very well, but I've seen that result in the pull-through snapping![/QUOTE]
Most of us have learned this one! Cost me a slab of red and the undying ridicule of my muckers. None of whom had ever...

A cynic might allege they had leaked it to a friendly newspaper in order to test public opinion. If people like it: Announce it in a big blaze of publicity. If they don't: Deny it was ever a policy...

I invoke a new twist on Godwin's Law: Post #25 and we're already comparing ehatever the trhead happens to be about to Sharia, the new Nazism.

You either get a bit dead, or (more likely) the men under your command do the same. Thing is, the only way you'll find out is when it's too late to argue about it.

Except the posties. Obviously.

You're absolutely right, but I meant tweak it in post production. I appreciate there's only so much you can do if the colours aren't there in the first place but hey, you get what you pay for!

I think they work OK but you have to tweak the white balance because the light is very harsh and cold.

And therefore a perfect candidate for high office in the Met, surely?

That's exactly what I did. 3 months of being paid twice paid for my honeymoon.

Was it ever worth buying it?

No. Apparently they smeared themselves all over the countryside.

It seems they should have edited out all the bits of their "culture" that they're so keen on preserving, just to save them from looking like pikey scum. Can these liberal fucknuts really not see the...

True, the OB are way behind. Body-cams and head-cams have been trialled for years, but no-one seems to realise that quality real-time footage is actually a copper's friend.

Their QC is doing it pro bono, the misguided twat.

According to LBC they were running out of court today shouting "We need more soldiers down there" into their iPhones.

I'll try to ignore their use of the word "soldier," but does this mean that...

Great book so far. I'm halfway through and can't put it down. Fiver sent.

Designed to appeal to someone with a massive pension. Ex-Old Bill for example.

Bloody hell that's 2 pints. That means I binge drink every night!

Hang on, if it's every night, how can that be a "binge"?

Not in the Met, maybe. But I'm certain he'll make a name for himself within the discrimination industry. Probably as a professional victim.

Usually I'd agree, but in this case the correct result was reached at last.

Excellent post, I agree with every word, except that you defeat your own argument in as much as Belgium is a monarchy.

Bollock-chops may be onto something. The boiler was set at full pelt!

Loads to think about there then, and not all positive! In a nutshell, I probably bleed the hall rad about once a week. There's no smell of methane
(I understand hydrogen is odourless). The water...

No, I thought it happened automatically via the header tank.



It's not a combi, there's a header thank in the loft. I didn't want a combi, having had one years ago and it was a nightmare,...

I had a new boiler put in last winter and it has always made a bit of noise as air goes round the system. Nothing that'd drive you mad, just a bit annoying. I assumed it was normal for a new boiler,...

I used one years ago and had no complaints. I emailed to request collection and they gave me a time and date by return, and sent a text to confirm they would be there that morning. They even HIAB'd...

He dived in and hit his head on the pool floor. It was just before my time but the gym staff were always collecting sponsorship to buy him a go-faster wheelchair for marathons.

Don't remember...

On paper they haven't got any money. All their dealings are in cash, so by the time they had filled in the means forms at court they would end up having £5 a week deducted from their benefits. If...

Aside from gunfire every Christmas, the only time I ever got issued rum was on my JNCOs cadre in NI in (about) 1992. It was something to do with being out on exercise for two successive nights when...

To the OP: Please kill yourself.

Fixed.

Don't they issue Paddy Bashers any more?

One of the characters in McNab's latest book is a geordie who joined "them" via the TA. The character is a complete knob and turns out to be a traitor. Lucky he didn't base him on anyone real...

You'd be hard pushed to find a complainant!

The US don't have the "right" to extradite anyone. They make a request which is considered in open court by the Chief Magistrate, who has to take a number of things into consideration, including...

"Not breaking the law" and "Not charged with any offences" are sometimes very different things. It's impossible to say, not knowing any more than anyone else on this site, but if the "victims" of...

No reason they should. Weren't they all boring variations on the "Hard Rock Cafe Baghdad - Closed for repairs" theme?
