That's awesome . How did his fines jump from 25 pounds to 100-200 pounds? Or did I miss something?

2 Samuel 12:13: "David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David, “The Lord also has put away your sin; you shall not die."

I claim the broadcast rights to the reality show.

Wow, that place needs to review its laws.

I wonder how many US cops would defend a speeding ticket with trial by combat.

If it were one of those cops that spend too much time at the donut shop, I'd even take them on at my age.

Administrative law in England is made to take all the money which the masses have.

The nobles are exempt or were exempt from most of these laws for centuries, which is how they kept their wealth, but most of them still piddled it away.

Needless to say, our lawmakers have learned this lesson in making themselves exempt from the laws they pass...

The other day I saw one while out and about who looked to weigh in excess of 300 POUNDS!!!! He looked like a walking baby elephant.

I'd pay to be a spectator in one of these matches...

I highly doubt it. I reckon he felt he had a better chance of winning the argument by fighting. 25 years ago there were a few hairy arsed bastards in Bury - I wonder if he is one of the real locals and not one of the many yuppie London commuters.

Don't leave that there - I'll take it to bits!

Hes still taking on quite a challenge with someone from the DVLA. If its anything like the US DMV, they have venomous fangs behind the 3rd row of sharp teeth, and can strike extremely fast despite their blobbish boneless appearance and lifeless stares.

Id imagine it would be like trying to put a beanbag couch up into an attic crawlspace, and forgetting you left some knives in the cushions
