  1. @info_drip That's what I used to do when bringing gifts for the River Admiral's annual patrol: take things on board! ;o)
  2. @LozEWright That should be worth the wait, for both him and (for the photo) me! :o)
  3. @LozEWright Ah, great! He'll be able to point to where Shellington's lab is, and Dashi's place, etc.
  4. @info_drip Just never forget that life is complex, not black-and-white, and that for nearly every issue there are some pulling both ways.
  5. @info_drip It is said that no law is entirely valid until it has been tested in a Court of Law, but as with most things there are 2 sides...
  6. @info_drip Where something has already been decided somewhere in the country, it can be very difficult to get a different result later.
  7. @info_drip A problem I've encountered several times over the years is with established Case Law, where something has been tested in Court[.]
  8. @info_drip Ah! It seems I shouldn't have had that (relatively) early night last night(!) Um, I don't really understand the question either!
  9. A reminder of my string of Waybuloo-related 'blog posts, for the benefit of new followers: bit.ly/GJAyT8
  10. @info_drip Oh, understood; but I cannot personally vouch for that if asked an opinion by you or anyone else, as I haven't seen the evidence.
  11. @info_drip You seem to have some interesting evidence that I do understand cannot reasonably be made public. Intriguing for all that.
  12. @info_drip Yr 'blog is clearly well-intentioned & potentially very useful. It just needs more care before flinging accusations as I've shown
  13. @cgi365 Better than watching A Clockwork Orange, at least, I suppose...
  14. Gove as good as he got - just a snippet of Michael Gove at Leveson today: bit.ly/KDwaZX
  15. @DVATW I always behave - not necessarily well, but it can always be said that I exhibited behaviour of one sort or another...
