I hear the street names are written on kerbing stones along roads in Melbourne to prevent this problem by drunks crawling home so that don`t get lost.

How about this then from Radstock (in Somerset) piggy and babs. Council vetoes flag of St George after concerns raised about links to Crusades A local council decided against flying the flag of St George after concerns were raised that it would offend the town’s 16 Muslim residents.

Man fined for leaving out bins too long Wednesday, May 15, 2013 rsherdley Follow A householder has been fined £400 for leaving his bins out too long. Andrew McCartney, 44, of Finsbury Avenue, Sneinton, was prosecuted after his bins were left out on a Saturday after a Friday bin collection. I suppose with the vast majority of spies and other sundry pathetic state informants and `jobsworths' living off state handouts stories like this will escalate. Poor old UK.!

“The greatest problem is the huge and wasteful amounts ambulance chasing lawyers cost the NHS/State. Over 22 years their fees would surely approach the settlement figure. Lawyers are the ultimate parasites-see how many M.P.s are from this training. Also ,one wonders with all the recent knowledge if the true cause is known in this case. I think the New Zealanders have the answer! In 1974 New Zealand jettisoned a tort-based system for compensating medical injuries in favor of a government-funded compensation system. Although the system retained some residual fault elements, it essentially

As we all know, the law is an ass! Many huge payments have been awarded by ill-informed and mis informed judges -particularly sitting alone without jury. Recent up to the minute research shows problems during delivery is only 1 of many causes e.g. Causes Cerebral palsy is caused by an abnormality or disruption in brain development, usually before a child is born. In many cases, the exact trigger of this abnormality isn't known. Factors that may lead to problems with brain development include: Random mutations in genes that control brain development Maternal infections that affect the d

What b....y hypocrites! Fighting like mad for `the right to have guns' but because the profits are not going to President Dwight Eisenhower famously warned the U.S. about the "military-industrial complex" in his farewell address. Military–industrial complex, or military–industrial–congressional complex,is a concept commonly used to refer to policy and monetary relationships between legislators, national armed forces, and the military industrial base that supports them. Leland Yee, a Democratic state senator, announced his plan to outlaw the technology which experts have warned coul

Looks like a plan for an open cut coal mine Compo ! With water being so scarce here in Brighton, I have built 3 similar ponds in my front garden. All water from the house and garden drains into the ponds or water tanks. Not a drop leaves my property to the storm water drains.What are you using on top of the sand? Plastic and river pebbles in my case.

It is possible to imagine the PTP organisation today administering his photos Trevor! Army of clerks,administrators,and the like `working' due to the effort of 1 volunteer (Reg Baker).I met a similar chap(an old Mundellan) who had hundreds of pictures of St Annes area he had taken when I was looking for old pictures of Elm Grove on Blue Bell Hill. Hope he publishes them one day. If you wish to see the Nottingham Council` at work' go to the windmill in Sneinton.1 person grinding corn dozens hanging around doing nothing.! Indeed that may make a new topic Jon`s Idle Empire' Any examples ?

Price war in Henley Beach! 1 garage started at 99 cents /litre and others had to compete. .Cheapest 97 cents./litre. Oh and temp to be 30 C today. I am not looking forward to freezing to death in Melbourne this Mother`s day w/e.

You mean when the temperature gets up to a scorching 15 C ?

Two cleveryclod SouthAfricanyblokes !

`Orrible feet,Mick ! This shows x-ray of hallux valgus. Subtalar joint and tendon involvement leads to pes planus and ligamentous laxity. This contributes to lateral deviation of the great toe with resultant hallux valgus. Deformity can be hastened by the wearing of non supportive, high heeled or narrow-toed shoes.

How did they get their feet into those black plastic inserts, Mick?

In the UK, they were known as Pedophiles...ooops my seniors moment! I meant Pedoscopes.

Compulsary gift of 4 bars of Cadbury chocolate and 6 Mars bars after the vaccination introduced by our profligate N.H.S in1950.

Developed 1948. Used first 1949.(Mumps only)

The MMR vaccine is very effective against measles, mumps, and rubella, but it is not perfect. MMR vaccine reduces the risk of getting mumps, especially if you get two doses. People who have received two doses of the MMR vaccine are about 9 times less likely to get mumps than unvaccinated people who have the same exposure to mumps virus. However, some people who received two doses of MMR can still get mumps, especially if they have an intense exposure to the mumps virus. If they do get mumps, people who have been vaccinated are likely to have less severe illness than unvaccinated people with mu

Raleigh did not give Oakley any special reward for dreaming up the Chopper, despite the fact that the design almost single-handedly kept the ailing firm out of the hands of the receivers. It remains the most successful cycle Raleigh has ever made. Alan Oakley was born on April 27 1927 at Netherfield, near Nottingham, the son of a printer. He was educated at Chandos Street Boys’ School and left school aged 15 to work as a trainee draughtsman at Raleigh

Thought this interesting,Beefy: Ogle Design claim to have designed the Chopper for Raleigh. They actually only produced concept art for the Raleigh design department headed by Alan Oakley; only the seat and spoke protector were taken up. The final design of the Chopper was submitted by Oakley's department to management and production started in 1968.[6] Raleigh built a copy of the chopper-like Schwinn Sting-Ray they called the Rodeo, which was launched in the United States in 1966. It was not a success, but its design clearly was a forerunner of the Chopper.[citation needed] This lack of suc
