...when the Sun beats down and I lie on the bench
I can always hear them talk
Me, Im just a Lawnmower
You can tell by the way I walk ...
then I thought Im wasting time;
there's a future for Alf in the fire escape trade.
Come up to town!"
But I remembered a voice from the past;
"Gambling only pays when you're winning."

Originally posted by Lucifer BoxQuite right, Alf. After all, if you've done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear.
That said sometimes I worry that I might have done something wrong unwittlingly, what with the never ending churn of legislation from the Minstry of Informatics these days its hard to really keep on top of things.
Not that Im complaining mind !!
Somebody was having a bit of a scene at the post office yeserday because the clerk wouldnt issue him a Cat License on the grounds that it wasnt yet an official requirement, poor chap was convinced he must have one, or he could face serious trouble from the ministry of Freedom.
Maybe you cant be too carefull these days but I think he was over reacting.
I think there is a saying in German that everybody has one foot in prison.

Originally posted by Lucifer BoxYou may be alarmed to know then that the criminal justice bill before last introduced exactly the same legislation to the UK. You can be tried in the UK for doing something abroad that is perfectly legal where you are, but which is illegal in the UK.

Surely that cannot be correct.

I don't think anyone will ever know, but I doubt anyone but your mum will ever care either.

Surely that cannot be correct. Any thoughts amongst the highly intelligent on this board?
I will catch your reply later apparently just had a bell from some chap at the local Ministy of Truth, or was it the Ministry of Freedom ?
I dont know about you , it gets hard to keep track these days, what with this never ending paperwork and appointments at these Ministries, mind you Im not complaining , its my fault really, theyre just doing their job and they cant be too careful these days, I should really try harder I know,
Aat any rate he wants a quick chat at the Ministry of Thingy, well I have to bring along my Passport, musnt forget that !
Should just be a formality.Last edited by AlfredJPruffock; 24 July 2006, 12:45.
