It's one of those issues where everyone seems thorougly entrenched one side or the other. As abhorrent as it is for the possibility that our legal system could occasionally send an "innocent" to his death. Personally, I think the numbers stack up better that way. No system is perfect. On...

It has cut down the repeat offenders though :twisted:

At the end of the day, it makes no difference how much interest is inherant in the officer that recieves your report. They have policies to follow. Policy dictates that they simply do not bother investigating these crimes. No matter how dedicated or genuinly interested an officer is, in your...

I still stand by my point. Although it is, no doubt, a tragedy what happened to Derek Bentley Page. I wonder how many COMPLETELY innocent people have been killed since, by repeat offenders. Derek Bently Page was just one man, and not totally innocent at that. I wouldn't mind betting that...

Nought wrong with belt and braces. :lol:

If that's your sort of humour, you'd probably quite enjoy This site. I haven't visited it for a while, as I thoroughly went through every single page, when I first discovered it. It tickeld me.

What was that quote "Tough on crime, Tough on the documentation of crime and Tough luck if you've suffered from crime." I'm sure it went something like that. :roll:

Use frame ties to tie the brick columns onto the chimney breast, then just bed the sleeper straight on top. Job done.

To be fair, I don't think it's the fault of the members of the force. I think you'll find that they've been bogged down with beurocracy, to the point of stagnation. It doesn't help that, just about anything they would like to do about your situation could allow them to be challenged on grounds...

Softus, your on a no win argument here. It is established fact, that as far as "minor" crime is concerned, police are just a data collection agency. if you are murdered, or robbed of a sum over a million squids, they may send in the cid. As far as house breaking, car theft, mugging and...

Sorry that's a myth. There is absolutely no crime on the statute books, in the UK, that carries the death penalty anymore. (I only know because it came up as a question on QI). Besides, I'm with kendor on this one, I think all murderers should be slaughtered. Another idea for the non...

He'd get my vote. The way I see it, the only argument against the death penalty is the rare occasion that an innocent person gets convicted. I'd argue that, under the current regime, even more innocent people are being killed by re-offenders, that the law is too soft to deal with...

I'd hazard a guess that the render, in question, has diddly squat to do with your damp problem. On the contrary, I'd say It's more likely someones attempt to combat the same problem. Since it's a basement, it's unlikely to be a quick fix. Tanking would be my favoured solution. I...

:shock: Eh? Sorry I have to admit defeat. Is this an anagram or something. Your first post was vague, but this one is just too cryptic. I'd suggest you give us a bit more information, just so we can get a feel for the way you think, before unleashing that level of abstraction. BTW. Do...

I find this site quite useful for word definitions.

:lol: :lol: Don't spoil it. I just have to believe that is true. Wasn't "Govornor of Texas" a position held by GW at some time past. Obviously they "type cast" for this job. Anyhow back to the thread. I can't see a problem with accepting that Jesus was a real person. People are born...

Years ago, while working as a milkman, there was one particular customer, that was, apparently, wheelchair bound. Each day, I would follow the standard practice of going around to the back door and delivering her milk directly into her fridge. She would always take the opportunity to have a...

BTW. Although probably not relevant in this situation, a circular saw table can be pretty useful for roughing out some bulk before you use the router. For a deep narrow slot, you just adjust the depth of the saw to a shade less than your finished slot, scribe a saw cut up the middle of your...

I did something similar a few years back. I was taking my daughter to some function organised by her school. I was running late, but following a chap stuck in the right hand lane of a dual carriageway, doing no more than 45mph where the national speed limit applies. My frustration was...

No mention of two computers, just a laptop and a printer.
