not a finite resource

I wonder whether they'll change the tax?

does using it still exclude people from certain claims on their health insurance?
You'd think they'd change the tax wouldn't you? A straight 4 dollars a gram or whatever they decide upon.

As for health insurance policies, don't those have clauses about overuse of alcohol and the likes already? I guess if you have declared that you are a non smoker,  but are now puffing away occasionally, you could find that your insurance company won't pay up ( when they find out, that is, I reckon they're pretty good at finding out)

Watch out Purple Aki's about....

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/muscle-obsessed-bodybuilder-vows-reinvent-7906495

pretty impressive that he represented himself and got a result - I like his argument (they still sentenced him)

I find the judges comments interesting

Quote
The ban on touching muscles is just not on...

I’m not into bodybuilding myself, but I’d have thought men who have muscles in their arms the diameter of my leg are the sort of men who will admire each other’s bodies.

They don’t build the body up to hide it under loose-fitting sweatshirts. They are men likely to talk to and weigh and measure each other."

it's not a million miles away from "birds with short skirts want to be whistled at"

anyone got an update on this?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2873106/Actor-Alan-Davies-grabbed-climbing-instructor-s-throat-leisure-centre-children-scuffle-stairs.html

Quote from a police spokesperson "in light of the recent evidence that was brought to our attention, mainly the use of V grades for bouldering, we have decided that there was sufficient provocation and extenuating circumstances for Mr Davies' actions. Therefore no further action was taken in the matter"

It's terrible - like a plot from a horror film.

It gets worse.

We were in Sarlat, after a day's Canoeing, for an Ice cream and there were Sticks of Infantry patrolling (at least 10 per squad) with light weapons.

We didn't get the news until reaching home just now.

Must take some guts to overpower an 84 year old priest.

Not.

Wankers.
