7billion, like the author said thats 23 rounds per person. I am a brit living in England and I have shot more rounds than that this year. Clay Pidgeon shooting. 23 rounds per person is nothing. 7Billion sounds like a lot but its a big country.

On average they shoot 2 rounds a month. see its nothing.

RE Graham Bartlett

But where's the revenue stream?? come on son, think harder before suggesting sensible schemes. Always think, right whats in this for me.

Well I for one

quite like it. Its a lot better than that shite you had from peugoet.

Now does that make me feminine? I dont know, but I do want a MX5. So what does that say :)

Re dunncha

I agree with what you are saying, but I have a major caveat and that is what is the burden of proof required for a strike. Reading what the French are proposing and other articles about game file sharing. It seems to me all that is required will be for the labels to say you did it and thats all there is. No proof, no investigation. Just there word. And thats scary.

RE Governmental (lack of) logic

"ban on pornography as a way to combat online child porn."

That should work about as well as a complete ban on children to combat online child porm.

Actually you're wrong on that one. Banning porn wont do anything to combat child porn. Because child porn is (or at least should be) banned already. The crims will still keep making it. However if we ban children completely, there would be no children to abuse and hence it has worked 100% and thats guarenteed, if a bit extreme. But hey the are noisy little fuc*ers and keep me awake on the train in the morning, so its fine by me.

Re Doug Glass

Nothing is permanent and in the case of batteries their replacement is intentionally made easier for that vary reason.

Yes in most things, some fruit based companies go the other way of intentionally making them hard to remove to gain extra buisness replacing them for you :)

Re Boris the Cockroach

If he was texting and locked the phone, you dont need to access the hand set, you need to ask the network operators for the call history. This they are already leagally obliged to supply so really there is no need for this.

I know this isnt going to go down well but...

And wouldn't you rather have a 10in Mac OS X netbook for $350 (£212/€247) than a Windows XP machine?

No I wouldnt.

Re Scott Mitchell

I hope Cameron wins, because then Scotland will become independent - we remember what the tories did to us.

Good because we remeber what the labour did for us down here. Using the scottish MPs to force through all sorts of shit south of the border and not north. As soon as you have independancy we will be deporting Brown et all.

PS

My dad was a miner in scotland in the 80's so I remember too. Dont really have anyone to vote for. Bring back Paddy Ashdown, thats what I say. We need more MP's who were in the force, and not lawyers.

re Anonymous Coward 14th July 2009 15:19 GMT

What a prize knob end you are.

Why shouldnt we honour an agreement we have made with one of our allies. Why should we just accept the word of criminal that he didnt do any damage.

Yes I personally wouldnt have signed that agreement and if I was in charge would look at getting it altered, I would want to see the evidence first. But the guy committed a crime and they rightly want to bring him to justice. They are a free country with a decent legal system, so why the hell not?? Like someone else said its not like its Sharia law, they arent wanting to chop his hands off.

Would you happly believe him over america if lets say the crime had been mass rape and murder of school children, and he said he hadnt done it?? NO, you would side with america. Well what makes this different? Oh yes he admits that he is guilty!!

And you are happy to insult people but not reveal your name, well done.

Re William Clark

You my son are speaking my kind of language. That in my opinion is exactly what should happen. With maybe a verbal warning and retraining for the staff in question. I cant believe how many people here are calling for the sack, it harsh if its a first offence, and an inocent mistake.

But I really suspect that she will be getting 10's of K's of $.

Mores the pity.
