You are wrong, the sentence for murder is fixed by law. Now it is life imprisonment. The fact that ‘life’ turns out to be different things for different people doesn’t change that the sentence is fixed. I.e ‘life’ . When people were executed having been found guilty of murder, the sentence was...

Yes, that reads like good reasoning, but imho it is predicated on a system of punishment for murder, where the penalty is fixed. As seems the basis each time this question arises. The system could be different. The penalty for murder could be variable at the discretion of the Judge. B B knows ...

Please, watch a game of Rugby League, for Gawds sake. The referee doesn’t watch a clock. He has nowt to do with when the game stops like you think. The clock runs down, in accordance with the timekeeper , and when it gets to 80 mins a great big klaxon goes off. The ref referees the match, I.e...

You do know how RL timekeeping works , do you? The ref has the clock stopped every time he sees a reason to, by signalling to the timekeeper. The spectators see that and pretty well know why. And then he has the clock resume when the cause for stoppage has ceased. That could happen in soccer...

Haven’t read all the preceding posts re games going beyond 90 minutes, but you seem to be defending the present system, I.e. an amount of added time is indicated as a minimum, but then we await the refs whistle for the end, not knowing when that will be. Logic and sense show that rugby leagues...

And people keep telling me the refs can’t see this. Crap like “ 6 of one and half a dozen etc “ gets spouted in defence of them. Motson would go permanent soprano if he were commentating.

Ah, sorry , my bad re shoulder/elbow. Apologies. Re offside, it wouldn’t be too hard to define “daylight”, as discernible to the naked eye. And looking at a video still that would be obvious to any fair minded person, I submit. Mind you, if it is between what rules,VAR, etc that we have now…...

Yea, a small bit of his elbow, wasn’t it? The whole idea of a player in an offside position being “wrong” is that he had an advantage ( deemed to be unfair) How is a bit of an elbow an advantage and unfair? The present rule is pathetic and parameters like that in football rules are not doing...

That’s me finished with Premier league football. That was not hand ball . In my day hand ball had to be intentional. But to be honest,I didn’t see that the var ref could be certain that the players hand touched the ball. And as I write I see on TV that the lines show the other goal was not...

Hi Is anyone aware of an iron refurbisher in the South of England? I’m weighing up whether it’s viable to treat My McGregor Muirfields to a skilled clean up. Saw a guy on YouTube Brad someone, Brilliant fellow, but I don’t think he is in UK TIA

I’m watching a recording of the pga tour second round towards the end of McIroys round, hole 15, and for a long time now there has been a noisy helicopter nearby, hovering around. I wouldn’t want to be playing with that incessant noise around. It’s not a usual feature, in fact as I type Rich...

Must admit I don’t know the term D5. It wasn’t a 125 or 175. They were green weren’t they?. The one I had was a 150, colour brown. A few years ago, I spoke to some guys showing vintage bikes. AJSs, etc and one said that my bike would be a limited edition? He wanted to know if I still had it...

Brilliant😂😂😂

Hmm. You’re old.? 😁 When I was a youth in the early 60s, living on the South coast, I rode my Bantam motor bike to Blackpool to visit my Gran.!( sore bum). A week later I returned home. No mobile phones of course, and also no phone at home , nor at Grans. So mum knew I was Ok when I returned.

Oh, come on. This thread was a jokey thread to have a smile about. Some of the suggestions were quite witty and all were in the spirit of the thread . Including SILH. I saw nothing at all in any of the posts to be offended by. I was amazed it descended into posts criticising others!
