Not quite, it only applies to content produced within the UK. Does it count for amateur stuff too, though?

Still, it could be Irelands way out of financial ruin! And the Isle of Man could become a shaven tax haven. Might start a production company...

It's ludicrous, but even in the ludicrosity one is more ludicrous than the rest.
How is female ejaculation in any way violent or demeaning? I thought that was what this is about.

Actually if its covering 'web' now what happens to cam girls ?

If they are doing a live show do they need to follow these points and if so what happens if one 'accidentally' breaches one of the terms ?

Even in the sexist world of porn it is disgraceful that the new laws state (by omission) that a woman is allowed to choke down a dick but you can't see men licking female ejaculate. Amaze.

Not unrelated to Myp's Guardianesque post there (teh pr0n sexisms!), fucking bastarding BT decided to randomly switch on parental controls today, which meant I couldn't access Beex and then spent half an hour trying to switch the sodding thing off. Which then somehow fucked up the router settings and buggered xbox live access. Censorious cunts.

Will verbal abuse in porn have to be dubbed? Will they use the same guys from the ITV Die Hard dubs? Because 'muddy funster' and 'melon farmer' could equally be niche fetish porn categories, thus leading to confusion.

I don't think people hate them as much on a daily basis, though.their effect wasn't as wide ranging as to affect the nation on an ongoing daily basis.

What is that big flame coming out of something in the left side of the image?

Not sure if it's a flame or some vented gasses lit up by one of those orange lights.

That makes sense. It really looked like fire in some of the shots.

The glamorous gathering visited the Ashmolean Museum, Radcliffe Camera and some of the University’s colleges during an educational tour of the city.

The group then descended on the Oxford Union to explain how the “Miss World” contest was about more than just beauty.

...but about ethics in videogame journalism?

Stamp duty has changed to be a gradual tax, that's nice. Should save me a couple of thousand and also make my house up north easier to sell!

6 months till election you know, everyone needs that time to feel rich on their house price...

Stamp duty had to change, as the step model was crap and created massive deadzones in the market.

Curiosity · **Posted:** Thu Dec 04, 2014 20:17

I know. I'm just a massive cynic. So much of the economic 'recovery' has been based on house prices, and they desperately need to keep it going past the election.

Definitely a fairer model though, from what little I've paid attention to it.

This letter was in my local paper today:-

Attachment:

I wrote a response:-

Quote:

In response to A Parkers letter RE: disciplining children. I think you’re right that parents should be able to smack their children when they seem upset in public, but why stop there?

I’ve seen plenty of adults upset in my time so perhaps I should have gone to smack them as well? If a smack around the back of the legs wouldn’t work, why not a quick ‘one two’ to the jaw? You seem to think that violence will bring an end to any upset and teach respect, so why indeed stop at children? I, like most people, have had plenty of disagreements at work that have been solved with meetings and conferences. If I’d have known that a smack around the back of the legs would have solved this, then I would have gone straight to my fists and saved everyone a lot of time.

You also mention that teachers and police should be able to smack children. I'm sure that plenty of people agree with you that we’d all be happy for our police officers to go around beating up children for their wrong doings. Once this rule has become well established, then perhaps they could extend the same rules to adults? Been caught speeding? No problem. A bloody nose will teach you the error of your ways.

You’re right A Parker. The human rights act has gone too far! Let’s bring back violence!

TheVision

I hope they print it.

Of course, the human rights act doesn't stop parents smacking children, either.
