Title: Next time I'm in Scotland Post by: Murgos on November 07, 2007, 06:25:13 AM I am sooo knocking on Ironwoods door and using his loo.
Quote 5. In Scotland, if someone knocks on your door and requires the use of your toilet, you must let them enter. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20071106/od_afp/britainlawsoffbeat Also, if I were Scottish I would stay the hell away from York. I imagine this hoodlums there just leave archery equipment lying around in the off chance a Scotsman has to pick them up, like because they are blocking his doorway or are piled on top of him.

Title: Re: Next time I'm in Scotland Post by: Lantyssa on November 07, 2007, 11:30:45 AM I'm sensing a business opportunity: In Liverpool, it is illegal for a woman to be topless except as a clerk in a tropical fish store.

See, that one kind of makes sense. I mean, you don't want the poor girl to ruin her blouse every time she has to reach into the tank to get a fish. I gotta say though, watching a topless young woman go head first into a giant aquarium tank to try and catch that clown fish I want, the one with the spot, no wait, that one over there with the big stripe, etc..., would be well worth the $2.50 spent for the fish. Title: Re: Next time I'm in Scotland Post by: Margalis on November 07, 2007, 05:25:38 PM That's why Lantyssa would charge a $10 cover.
Title: Re: Next time I'm in Scotland Post by: Paelos on November 07, 2007, 09:48:27 PM See, I've always thought she'd have a pet store with small red mammals. Can she do that topless? :awesome_for_real:

Ok. . . . It doesn't say anything about LEAVING the house. . . . Just sayin' Title: Re: Next time I'm in Scotland Post by: Ironwood on November 08, 2007, 01:58:41 PM Also, while we're on the subject, I always wanted a Knighthood.
Apparently, once you've been Knighted, it's legal to carry around a longsword at all times in the UK. Again, though, it doesn't say anything about the Met NOT shooting you in the head seven times. Title: Re: Next time I'm in Scotland Post by: Endie on November 08, 2007, 03:26:08 PM Call me Mr Pedant, but a lot of those simply aren't true: the legislation has not been specifically revoked, but it lies dead on the statute book since it is overridden by later legislation. Those who wish to murder Scottish archery enthusiasts in York are welcome to try (I have a few candidates in mind: George Galloway would be a good start) but you'll find your pleas of legal backing falling on deaf ears.

Interfering with a hormonally unbalanced pregnant woman's near-constant need to pee does not seem a smart thing to do, IMO. (Yes, my wife is expecting again. If anyone needs me, I'll be down in my bunker.)

I found that referring to them as hormonally unbalanced can lead to the promise of a kitchen knife embedded in my gut. Next time, I'll try it out of their earshot. (Yes, my wife is expecting again.
