It is with regret that I shall not be contributing to this forum in future . I can no longer tolerate the acrimonious comments posted by certain individuals in direct contradiction to paragraph 5a in the rules and regulations . I appreciate some may not take it seriously but I do and there are plenty of other forums that hopefully have a clientele that know how to conduct themselves. Goodbye.
Yeah, me too. Been thinking about it for a while now so this seems an appropriate moment to do it. Bye.

Is the change of plea to guilty the ultimate 'own back' on his ex. If he went to trial then she would have been required to give evidence for the prosecution. In the event, as I understand it, then the statement she would make in court could not be used against her in any other court.
So, with a guilty plea she wasn't required to give evidence so now stands to be convicted for perverting the course of justice.
Nice one Chris.
Where is Spider when you need him? Another example of just how stupid and corrupt these people are.

Your comment was tongue in cheek, I realize, but you can still learn modern (and even classical) languages in state schools as far as I know. Unfortunately it's not still a compulsory part of the syllabus.
Anyway, first I've heard that knowing French is pretentious!
Pretentious? Moi?

Ha Ha Ha, and this from someone whose only evidence was 'It's a well known fact'.
Not only was it correct to point out that the story normally runs at this time, but it's now been revealed that Blake himself generally runs the same story each year. How very odd.
And your evidence for that is?

I've got a Saab 9-3 Aero TTiD and it's great - massively over-specced for the money and looks great. A great marque, and a real shame it went out of business.
The Top Gear feature was very interesting, and quite right in my opinion. They basically said that Saab didn't charge enough for their cars and lost loads on the R&D that went into them.
All of the Saab parts are made by General Motors, who have said that they will continue to make spares for some time to come as there will be an increasingly large market for them as the Saabs on the roads get older.

Am I? Really? All I have done is look for some info others were doubting existed, and brought some into view. The facts are the Daily Mail published such a story 6 years ago, there are lots of links to other threads on the topic but my brief foray did not show a TV programme...... I have no opinion on the topic of harvesting carp
Try the one show.

Sounds like the various clubs which own the rights to the rivers, canals & gravel pits carping on about an age old problem and lying the blame with a 21st c scapegoat.
Went fishing last week down the tip, caught a couple of pikeys.

The clue is in the words used. Mind you, it is a story from 6 years ago. Didn't see a reference to a TV programme, but not so interested I can look that deeply.
So, your saying the story is false? Evidence please, not opinion.
