Interesting looking book on police complaints Let me say at the outset I'm no lawyer and I haven't even seen the following book in the flesh (in the paper ?) I hope nobody here will need it but I thought it looked interesting, and could be really useful if you ever need to make a complaint about the police and take it through the procedures. Probably not one for the legal beginner but I should think that if you've got a bit of sense you could save yourself a lot of money and hassle.
Police Misconduct: legal remedies, by the Legal Action Group - £37 quid, but currently on offer at £30. Which might sound expensive until you see the price of most legal textbooks !
I have a low opinion of solicitors cos 99.99% of them are a bunch of lazy, selfish, self serving lags who don't give a stuff about your case as long as they can line their pockets. In my experience of the non-criminal side, if solicitors were exposed to the commercial realities of providing customer service instead of having a nice cosy closed shop most of them would go bust inside a year.
I'm currently doing an employment tribunal claim myself and I'll be using another book from this publisher - I'll let you know what I think of it when I get to the point of using it ! Hope this one might be of interest to someone though, even if only so you can tell your sol he's talking bollocks - and if you buy it, do let me know too what it's like :-)
Disclaimers: I am not a lawyer, I haven't even read it never mind used it, this advice is worth less than what you paid me for it, I have no financial connection, you may still need to bung a barrister a couple of grand if it goes to court, this book could possibly be so inaccurate that it might give an unqualified user an automatic passport to chokey, may contain fnord, I am not a number I am a temporary autonomous zone, always pay some greedy bastard for qualified legal advice to preserve your rights so at least it'll be his fault not that that will make any difference, objects on acid could be closer than they appear, most police are actually sterling chaps who would give you the shirt off their backs, the helmet off their heads and the number off their shoulder, etc etc.
Have fun ;-)

Bush gets new powers to spy DemocracyNow.org spends an hour looking at the powers a democratic congress recently signed over to the Bush Administration allowing it to legally eavesdrop on Americans at home and abroad without warrants more widely than before...

Help needed to avoid prosecution! Basically me and a few mates get together in a public wood once a year for an event affectionately known locally as 'Party in the woods'. All the usual stuff, generator, rig, projection screens, bonfire etc. Last year was the tenth year and was the biggest turnout with between 200 and 300 folks.
Every year we do the right thing and tell the cops before we do it (only like a day before usually or on the day) the cops then inform the environmental health who turn up on the night and say:
" well basically you should have applied for a licence, but as you have left it too late all we can do is do sound checks around the area, if its not too loud on our equipment then we're happy, if its too loud you will get a court summons"
Every year its gone ok, no problems (except the occasional local chav causing a bit of mischief) but this year all the local papers are running an article threatening council court action:
http://www.cravenherald.co.uk/mostpopular.var.1455571.mostviewed.call_for_ban_on_illegal_rave.php
I'm just hoping that some nice people in the know on this board can offer any advice (I'm looking for a cool loophole) that can enable us to set this up again this year, its one of those nights that everyone looks forward to and old mates trek up from other parts of the country to meet etc, will be such a shame if these fuddles from the council manage to pull the plugs

Giant lego man found

A giant, smiling Lego man was fished out of the sea in the Dutch resort of Zandvoort on Tuesday.
Workers at a drinks stall rescued the 2.5-meter (8-foot) tall model with a yellow head and blue torso.
"We saw something bobbing about in the sea and we decided to take it out of the water," said a stall worker. "It was a life-sized Lego toy."
A woman nearby added: "I saw the Lego toy floating toward the beach from the direction of England."

My thoughts on relationships… MY REPLY TO ANOTHER POST ON CHOOSING RELATIONSHIPS/SEX OR PARTIES... JUST WANTED TO SEE WHAT PEOPLE THOUGHT OF THIS:
I like sex, don't get me wrong, but I think it is way overrated and a total western civilization obsession.
I hate the whole idea of relationships now... all they are are close friendships with added sex and added shit (possesiveness, jealousy, control, seriousness, etc)... I'd rather just have loads of ultra close friendships and have fun - if attraction occurs in any, sex will happen... as sex should be fun, and not so serious as lots of people make out... but I no longer believe in committing to one person.
If the occasion occured where I DID get involved in a relationship, I would make sure I got with someone on a similar thinking level as me. There's no way ANYONE would tell me when I can and when I can't party, as life is supposed to be fun.. and if a relationship drains the fun (as many do), then what's the point??
I'd choose partying every time.
FAERIE FEST I was going to go this year, but at the last minute my friend who I was getting a lift off pulled out so I couldn't get there. A shame, I was gonna be doing some faerie modelling for it in the fashion show!
Did anyone else go this year?
I'm gutted I couldn't.. I luffs faeries =D =D
There is going to be a Faerie fest annually now in Cornwall at Bodmin Moor.. am definately going next year. =]
