Mudguards help protect you from shoot on the road.

Ploughs and tractors play for keeps though.

Compulsory nudity

TVC remembers this is a light-hearted thread....

Compulsory nudity is responsible for the decline in standards of British stitching- leading to the rise of Primark... quality clothing at reasonable prices for the caring parent... made by a skilled and socially motivated, well paid yet mature workforce.

People getting pissed and scrapping on a Saturday night is everyone's business. They affect home life, town centre's become no-go zones, the impact on their family (domestic violence) is horrendous, and that's without involving the emergency services.

Having fun and participating in sport/adventure impedes no-one.

We can all go along and be complicit to thuggery, or we can challenge it and show them another way (that doesn't involve the Lord)

Of course, getting pissed in town on a Saturday night doesn't necessarily involve "scrapping". I'm an enthusiastivc heavy drinker and I manage to remain civilised at all times.
Having recently moved from Monmouth (a town inhabited almost entirely by dead people, as far as I could tell), where nothing ever happens, to Ross on Wye, which has a bit more life, I find the dulcet tones of the evening crop of drunkards weaving past our house rather refreshing. At least someone here's enjoying themselves!
My remedy for our broken society, should such a thing exist, would be to abolish Richard Littlejohn and his ilk. And ban advertising. And many other things I can't bring to mind now, but those will do for starters.

Prohibit corner shops and garages from selling alcohol and put the sale of alcohol back into the hands of publicans through Off Licence windows. Oblige supermarkets to have dedicated areas for the sale of alcohol with special tills manned by grown up licenced sellers. Close down cheapo booze shops and prosecute specialists who sell to anyone under 21.

Oh, and ban alcohol advertising and promotions.

Good avatar, RR.

• Ban all advertising to children
• Ban alcohol advertising
• Proper guidelines on food packaging - don't leave it to the food industry
• One day of the working week given over to physical, cultural and spiritual development
• Proper haircuts with side partings

Well, f**k that. Count me out.
