  1. The civil service write it (and to an extent the party managements whip it). The celebrities only really talk about it on the TV. Also bear in mind how much secondary legislation goes through without ever being looked at. There might be some to and fro on a piece of primary legislation (UK Public General Acts) but ten times as much secondary (Statutory Instruments, regulations) goes through just by being put in a box for two weeks. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/explore/legislatures/uk 2024: 25 UK Public General Acts 1361 Statutory Instruments Fifty-four times as many then.
  2. Noteworthily for tree people, carabiners, pulleys etc (DMM and ISC). But broadly speaking yes. Wales is basically the junk drawer of the UK.
  3. Like Squaredy says, judges make plenty of law. Murder is a common law offence. There’s no Murder Act.
  4. We didn't sell any tickets because we've got no fans. I thought it was funny, as did my guitarist. Sadly I think it went over the head of the youth who runs the venue. Too classical a reference for him.
  5. I sent that to a music venue the other week, as part of a discusion about ticket sales.
  6. The Durham Miners' Gala an example, I'm consistently informed.
  7. So you're an immigrant who plunders the local fish stocks and consorts with thieves. Half a crimewave from another hemisphere. Just as well you're not black.
  8. Please say you know the prisoner.
  9. Yes. I’m normally very live and let live but I’m enduring a bout of pronounced realism this morning. Good luck though.
  10. Votes are for plebs. Let anyone in. How long they stay can be dictated by who will let them a room, sell them food or employ them. No dole, no public property to camp on (perhaps keep the intertidal/littoral zone as common property so they have a rock to sit on waiting for the ferry). The proportion who want them will be the proportion who get them. Can’t get fairer.
  11. Tables will be cheaper and easier. If he wants it rustic, get people to bring their dogs.
  12. Grappling hook on your christmas list.
  13. Wot. No Avant?
  14. Right o. Lovely looking job. Just the right amount of difficulty to maintain interest.
  15. OK. Why negative rigging instead of dropping the 2.1s?
  16. What would you have done differently if there was no wind on day two? Did you plan it the way you did it from the outset?
  17. Nearly bought one of the proper waterproof skirts last winter. Probably still should.
  18. Did you still vote though?
  19. Yeah. I want to trade freely with European people. That's why I don't want to be in the EU or the UK.
  20. What a perfect example job to discuss multi tree rigging. Assuming the majority needed rigging at all, I would have limbed the left one up to a very small top and installed a rigging point. Then I would have rigged the right one down on that, pulling the pieces away from the wire and wall. I might have done it top down in sticklebrick pieces or bottom up in single/multi limbs or a mixture of both. I certainly wouldn't have done any negative rigging on the right one and very probably wouldn't have done any on the left either (since the lawn was apparently fair enough game for a massive top anyway). Why did you cut out the rigging point furthest from the wire and wall first? Why were you negative rigging?
  21. Difficulty trading is a crass argument. If there's an impediment at either or both sides, remove those impediments. Having the same impediment both sides still means paperwork and tax. It's a perfect microcosm of negative vs postive liberty. Negative liberty is the absence of constraint, no customs, no duties etc - just send the stuff. Positive liberty is a framework of permission from those who are in a position to say no - it's not liberty. We don't need to go back to suffering two governments. We need to go the other way and get rid of the government we have. That's free trade.

    Chickens?

    5/5 and no pecking today. Threats apparently all required.

    Chickens?

    Cheers. I do similar with the dog thieving off the kitchen counter. Only leave chilis there now. Hasn’t hit yet.
