    Over here its the opposite. If someone slips over because you haven't cleared the path outside your house, you're legally liable

    Isn't this what Tyson's camp did at the weigh in with Bruno years ago?

    Remember hearing Nigel Benn, who was in Brunos camp, saying years later that when he saw that, he said seeya mate, your on your own.

    What should I do? Am half tempted to stick my head out of the window and shout "What the flip are you doing?"
    Got any ice skates? World speed record...

    20 mins 'til school run time. Could be fun!
    Are you going to "nearly say something" or tell the old git where to get off?
