go and hit him againOriginally posted by EternalOptimistI havn't
but I thought it's such a hot topic at the momemt, I'd just ask.
When I was a kid the local bully threatned to knock my block off, I laughed in his face.His older brother said he would stiffen me, I laughed louder.
Then his mum said she would sue me, I sh@t myself for a week. I didnt know what it meant , but it sounded serious.

It was a few years ago, the dispute was relating to a car leasing agreement.Originally posted by richard-afSo, what was it all about, then? Just being nosey. I won't tell anyone.
Going to court was seriously scary, and I would suggest that if you can avoid it through some means then do so.

The court staff (Sheriiff and his legal advisers) could not have been nicer or more helpful, which was as well as I was conducting my own "defence".

- Jerome K Jerome, Three Men on the Bummel, 1900If a man stopped me in the street and demanded of me my watch, I should refuse to give it to him. If he threatened to take it by force, I feel I should, though not a fighting man, do my best to protect it. If, on the other hand, he should assert his intention of trying to obtain it by means of an action in any court of law, I should take it out of my pocket and hand it to him, and think I had got off cheaply.
