(LOL)” 11:32:16 AM 6/17/09 “Mum fined for grieving too long A GRIEVING mother was fined £86 ($173) for spending too long at her son's tiny coffin before it was taken away for cremation. Terrie Rouse, 32, said her grief turned to shock when officials told her she had taken too long to say goodbye, The Daily Mail reported. "The vicar had asked if I would like to spend a bit more time saying goodbye," she said. "I sat by the coffin for 10 minutes, telling my son how much we loved him and begging him not to be scared." Officials at the crematorium, run by a local English council, impose an extra charge if any funeral runs over its 30-minute slot. However, the couple's funeral directors said there was plenty of time for the next funeral which was not due to take place for another 50 minutes. Miss Rouse’s partner, Lee Smythe, said the fee was "sick and disgusting". "Terrie was weeping hysterically,’ he said. "She just wanted a few extra minutes to say goodbye to our much-loved little boy." The couple’s son, Zane, died at five weeks from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome on April 9. The family waited three months before they could have a funeral to allow for tests to be carried out. "It was distressing enough having to wait for the funeral because we were left in limbo, but this has just made it all worse," Mr Smythe said. "If we had over-run by 30 minutes and had held up proceedings for other people I would understand but this was ten minutes. I really feel like the bosses are taking liberties." A council spokesman apologised for making the extra fee. "We understand that sometimes more time may be preferred and so families are offered the chance to book extra time if they need it,’ he said. "This means when funerals that have not taken up this option over-run, a fee is automatically charged. "However, when we learned that there were extenuating circumstances we, of course, refunded the extra charge." http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,25882361-401,00.html” 1:56:09 PM 8/04/09 Headlines “Early Brits may have been cannibals, which is completely understandable when you consider British cuisine http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8188601.stm last edited: 8/07/09 9:21:20 AM” 9:28:19 AM 8/07/09 “'Oral sex' paramedic: I was comforting woman http://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?Oral_sex_paramedic:_I_was_comforting_woman&in_article_id=717808&in_page_id=34” 10:51:51 AM 8/11/09 “YEP..with Government Health care no one will ever be turned away. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1207371/Father-turned-away-hospital-pregnant-wife-delivers-baby-bathroom-floor--saves-daughters-life.html Tony and wife Rebecca, 33, were staying in Wilmslow, Cheshire, when she started having contractions.

The couple, of Newbury, Berkshire, went back to the house - but three hours later, Rebecca was doubled up in pain on the bathroom floor.

In addition to the mainland, Scotland consists of over 790 islands[9] including the Northern Isles and the Hebrides. Edinburgh, the country's capital and second largest city, is one of Europe's largest financial centres.[10][11] Edinburgh was the hub of the Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th century, which transformed Scotland into one of the commercial, intellectual and industrial powerhouses of Europe. Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, was once one of the world's leading industrial cities and now lies at the centre of the Greater Glasgow conurbation. Scottish waters consist of a large sector[12] of the North Atlantic and the North Sea, containing the largest oil reserves in the European Union. The Kingdom of Scotland was an independent sovereign state before 1 May 1707 when it entered into a political union with the Kingdom of England to create the united Kingdom of Great Britain.[13][14] This union resulted from the Treaty of Union agreed in 1706 and enacted by the twin Acts of Union passed by the Parliaments of both countries, despite widespread protest across Scotland.[15][16] Scotland's legal system continues to be separate from those of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland and Scotland still constitutes a distinct jurisdiction in public and in private law.[17] The continued independence of Scots law, the Scottish education system, and the Church of Scotland have all contributed to the continuation of Scottish culture and Scottish national identity since the Union.[18] Although Scotland is no longer a separate sovereign state, the constitutional future of Scotland continues to give rise to debate. Okay what do I have wrong. Its like say Texas letting a convicted prisoner GO. Lets see he Blew up an Aircraft in "English" Airspace......I was under the impression that he was not Proseucted in England because the Scots had stuck him in Prison for 27 Year sentence or something...so he serves 8 of it and gets sick and the Scots just kinda walk away from the crime?” 6:59:22 AM 8/21/09 “Ok - Scotland and England are separate countries. As are Wales, Northern Ireland, and Ireland. Scotland and England are not the same place. Great Britain is the geographically connected England, Scotland and Wales. The United Kingdom is short for "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" The British Isles is the United Kingdom plus Ireland. Scottish law has always been distinct from the law in England and Wales for a start. They have a separate but similar legal code. But since Scottish devolution a lot of power has shifted only to the hands of the Scots, and is no longer under the control of the United Kindom Parliament (which I guess you meant when you said 'Jolly Old England'). This decision was made by the 'Scottish Justice Minister' who controls the legal system in Scotland. this would be distinct from the person who would make the decision had he been imprisoned in England and Wales, who would be the Home Secretary. (There's a Lord Chancellor who has other judicial functions, but that just complicates things).” 7:19:42 AM 8/21/09 “The Scottish Parliament is controlled by a coalition headed by the Scottish National Party, and the first minister is Alex Salmond, a Scottish Nationalist. They are pushing for further devolution for Scotland. last edited: 8/21/09 7:13:49 AM” 7:22:13 AM 8/21/09 “Is it just me or did Y2 just shove a haggis up XL's ass and school him?” 7:28:17 AM 8/21/09 “It's just you.” 11:17:48 AM 8/21/09 whoops...y2 DOESN'T KNOW his own country “Ney Nigal..check the news...APPARENTLY SCOTLAND is Part of England. (LOL) http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/aug/23/gordon-brown-letter-gaddafi-lockerbie Meanwhile, details emerged of a second letter written by the Foreign Office minister Ivan Lewis to the Scottish justice minister, Kenny MacAskill, confirming that there were no legal reasons not to let Megrahi go and concluding: "I hope on this basis you will now feel able to consider the Libyan application." Although the Foreign Office said it was not intended to make representations either way, the leaking of the letter suggests the SNP-led administration may be starting to fight back. Tonight the shadow foreign secretary, William Hague, redoubled calls for the government to release official records of conversations about the release, as Gaddafi increased the embarrassment by publicly thanking "my friend Brown, his government, the Queen of Britain, Elizabeth, and Prince Andrew who all contributed to encouraging the Scottish government to take this historic and courageous decision". Oh and from a Fox news story on this Some Scottish lawmakers want to distance themselves from the decision by Scotland's nationalist administration, which advocates full independence from Britain. last edited: 8/24/09 8:13:59 AM” 8:10:27 AM 8/24/09 “How does that in any way make Scotland part of England? What are you smoking there?” 8:29:40 AM 8/24/09 “EVEN SETTING THE JURISDICTION ISSUES OF SCOTTISH DEVOLUTION ASIDE - SCOTLAND WOULD BE PART OF BRITAIN, THE UK, THE BRITISH ISLES.

Perhaps a look at a map would make it clear for you? As it is I don't know what influence was wielded, but I do know it was a decision in the hands of the Scottish Justice Minister, who is a member of the Scottish National Party, a different party to Gordon Brown, who is leader of the Labour party. The Labour party is the minority party in Scotland and was forced out of power by the SNP. So, apart from the fact you got your countries wrong, apart from the fact you got the political party wrong, apart from the fact you got the jurisdictions wrong, apart from the fact you should be talking about the UK Parliament when you referred to Britain when you tried to correct yourself, despite the fact that I've now forgotten what the hell you were trying to say in the first place. Apart from there fact there was was nothing correct in your entire postings on this thread. Apart from that you got me.” 12:32:21 PM 8/24/09 “LOL...man you Brits just can't take responsibility for having an idiot nation for anything...” 12:52:24 PM 8/24/09 “it is like asking you to take responsibility for having an idiot like old man stove..” 1:03:43 PM 8/24/09 “Don't be so bitter, nigal.” 1:56:11 PM 8/24/09 “Nigal I have never "had" an old man...maybe you can tell us what its like?” 2:08:05 PM 8/24/09 “WTF are you babbling on about now XL?” 2:10:54 PM 8/24/09 “hey old man, make up your mind. first I am nigal then marko then mapleleaf gee you really did get fried!” 2:13:52 PM 8/24/09 “Poor little coward.” 2:14:52 PM 8/24/09 “OH, OK, the Tard Brothers are playing pin the tail on the troll again.
