What Would You Ban?

[Big Jeff]

Lawyers.

 

They feed off others misfortune.

 

Making life more complicated than it needs to be.

 

Making people afraid to live a little.

 

Running corporations and small companies afraid to be innovative and daring.

[Big Jeff]

The blame culture.

 

People who run to lawyers the moment something does not go immediately to plan.

 

People who look to blame others for their own stupidity.

 

Companies and corporations who consult legal advise to see if their actions can result in law suits

"je voudrais que le dernier des rois fût étranglé avec les boyaux du dernier prêtre"?

 

Et apres? Oliver Cromwell Mk II.

"je voudrais que le dernier des rois fût étranglé avec les boyaux du dernier prêtre"?

oh yes and french philosophers

[John S]

The Greenies (or tree-huggers if you prefer), for being so stupid that they think mankind alone is responsible for all the carbon that goes into the atmosphere when in fact we're only responsible for a small part of it.

definatly fog light drivers that put them on when it's not foggy. Six points and a years ban if caught twice.

 

Poxy saddo posers, thats all they are.

 

 

LOL, What he said...:) Go faster lights...you cant see whats coming towards you, then when it passes, you see a shoebox on wheels, usually a Punto, Clio,Corsa or a tiny Ford I'd take their cars off them, and make them set fire to them...:)

"je voudrais que le dernier des rois fût étranglé avec les boyaux du dernier prêtre"?

Diderot on AN? Now that is profound. The actual quote is

“Je voudrais, et ce sera le dernier et le plus ardent de mes souhaits, je voudrais que le dernier des rois fût étranglé avec les boyaux du dernier prêtre.”

, but you have the gist of it. For those who cannot speak 'la belle langue' it means

"I would like, and this will be the last and most ardent of my wishes, I would like that the last of the kings are strangled with the entrails of the last priest."

and it sounds like a good thing to me.

 

Personally I would like to see a ban on people banning things.

I rather like those ear pieces.

 

Was in tesco tonight doing my shopping and was talking to a girlie I know........had a great chat and was laffin out loud. Loads of people looked at me thinking i was stark raving bonkers.

 

Do I give a toss??? Absolutely not.

 

Each to their own i guess. I put mine in as soon as i walk out the door and get in the car (saves a fine and points) and dont take it out till i get back in the house again.

 

Hated the things too till i actually used one.........now feels as natural as an earring. Forget i'm wearing it mostof the time.

 

Come into the 21st century elton, its great.......I was dragged kicking and screaming, but its ok!!! really!!! :-)

 

You use one - there's another reason to ban them

 

"Feels as natural as wearing an earring" - I'm not a girl or 17, so wouldn't know.

 

"Come into the 21st century"? I have more technical gadgets and gizmos than anyone I know. I just don't see the need to look a pillock, or act like one in public, to prove it.

 

Nope, sorry. When I'm PM, they're banned. Just be thankful that I have no intention of running for parliament

I must admit I thought that. Girls, gays and pirates! I haven't worked out which category to put my daughter's boyfriend into yet (but I suspect he's buckling her swash, if that means what I think it does)
