Especially in the xmas eve insanity that was the Spar. But you just weren't jumping out from behind the rolls that day! Bad weather for me just meant an earlier time to crack open a bottle of the good wine!<BR/><BR/>As for the law - I keep rereading that paragraph, and still don't know. Being legally clueless as I am. But this is exactly why we need calm, rational, intelligent media sources - to explain things as they really are, and not sensationalised. <BR/><BR/>HAPPY 2008 And all of that!Champagne Heathenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540128789208726965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321828.post-81854909231165144952008-01-15T18:10:00.000+02:002008-01-15T18:10:00.000+02:00insane..a fan of Foucault I see.

It merely is a justified defence against the charge. Read para56 (2)<BR/><BR/><I>"(2) Whenever an accused person is charged with an offence under—<BR/>(b) section 16, it is a valid defence to such a charge to contend that both the accused persons were children and the age difference between them was not more than two years at the time of the alleged commission of the offence.</I><BR/><BR/>Ironically though. The controversy has been fantastic in getting hype and publicity for what seems a reasonable piece of legislation.ATWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05367400230867490071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321828.post-67666256640947292892008-01-15T13:48:00.000+02:002008-01-15T13:48:00.000+02:00Ah, the old global warming hype.
