seems like my favorite people ( health and saftey officers) have struck again.
A tight-rope walker who performs the highest act in the world is being forced to train in a hard hat because of British safety regulations.Moscow State Circus star Goussein Khamdoulaev performs aerial acrobatics at 45ft without a safety net.

Very sensible precaution. Just like railway workers who have to wear those yellow jackets - perfect protection against 200 tonnes of InterCity Express train ;) :D

Well, what do you expect from the Namby Pamby state where PC rules and minorities get everything over the majority...

That's it dom - you tell 'em!!:grrr:

Bloody liberals letting the country go to rack and ruin. Give everyone a gun I say, let's sort it out Wild West style. It'd solve unemployment, cut hospital waiting times and scare the sh1t out of asylum seekers: "That UK, bloody mad they are, everyone shooting each other, it's safer in my own country" - that'll teach Johnny Foreigner to come here expecting handouts just 'cause we happened to annexe their country 200 years ago. In fact, why don't we just go invade them again!! Ha ha ha :JOEL:

Excuse me for a moment, Nursey says I have to take my pills now...

He he he - yeah well, you've not seen how slow this works computer is right now - it takes up to a MINUTE (I kid you not) to copy text from Word to Dreamweaver MX, and this is a 900 MHz machine with 512 MB RAM! Mind you, it *is* only a Celeron :(
 
Absolutely ridiculous !!

I'm all for the H&S exec preventing employers from endangering their employees health.. but if an individual chooses to partake in a dangerous activity then that should be their choice.

GTM
 
I've heard they want to paint steam engines (the one's you see at shows etc,) red to indicate they're hot, like the jet of steam out of the chimney isn't a clue a? Expect to see red sourcepans, frying pans and such soon, have they really nothing better to do?
About time someone blocked off that tunnel, been nothing but troube, bloody europe, back off!

Now now paul! Just cause you're bitter at having just had your HDD wiped (and losing your hand candy ;) ), no need to be bitter :P
 
That won't work on NT (unfortunately!!!)

My sympathies dude - if what Mo! says is right about your hard drive. You should really have a fire safe back up of your, ahem, "art" images :) Yum yum...

I like the cups in McDonalds for coffee/tea etc = "Caution - contents will be hot". Well - duh! Mind you, knowing Maccydee's, you'd be lucky if the contents WERE hot!

How about the Yanks (bloody nightmares) - because some twonk decided to carry a fridge on his back and consequently did his back in, they've had to, by law, put "Do not strap this item to your back" or some such twoddle on there.

Yeah - we brits get penalised for other countries' stupidity - like banana plugs. Who gives a flying f*** if the French can electrocute themselves on their sockets - should have built in a safety interlock shouldn't they?

And the Brussels Sprouts trying to outlaw double decker buses - just freak off you mumpty prats - just 'cos you didn't have the good ideas first....
