MikeO Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Was in our local bar this afternoon (after visiting a monastery earlier) and a group of bronzed young Italian women came in off the beach wearing what I would describe as string. Wife (no prude) whispered to me, "...fine on the beach but that's a bit much in a bar..."When I recovered the power of speech I spluttered something like, "I agree" (but I had my figures crossed behind my back). One of them, stood about six feet from me, kept having trouble with her "costume" so was continually making minor adjustments to it to keep herself covered.Where's a guy supposed to look? Wish I'd had my shades on so I'd have had more options ! Romey 1878 and Lowensda 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Youngest son, a computer science major at university, was accepted as a summer intern at a local technology company. The next day, he learned he was called for mandatory jury duty, starting one week into the internship. He showed up on the Monday morning, and sat there doing nothing for the entire day. The only break was for lunch. The court official asked who earned minimum wage; my son does not. Everyone except him qualified for lunch allowance. He had to buy lunch on my credit card. How ridiculous is that? Thankfully, the next day, he was told he was not needed and could get back to work. If he'd been called to serve on the jury, he would have spent the summer in court and lost the internship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to be on a jury but have never been called up. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the judges were absolute plonkers, absolutely no connection with the real world. Too old now! Edited July 7, 2015 by johnh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubecula Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Some years ago I did jury service. spent all week turning up and sitting around for a while before being sent home. Last day I was called into a trial .... PS we found the defendant not guilty, the judge commended us for a speedy and accurate decision and then sent the guy down anyway, as he had already (unbeknown to us, the jury) admitted to being the driver of the car that had rammed three police cars in his attempts to get away from the crime we had just said he was not guilty of LOL LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Hire car went back a couple of days ago so went out and got some new wheels earlier! Only a 150cc scooter but great fun, love riding these things and it's pointless getting anything bigger for the roads over here. Really have to buy a proper motor bike one day, two wheels is the best. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I've just been reading about an upcoming US Court case: Wife has cancerHusband and wife decide there's a chance they could have a baby in future She can no longer produce babies due to cancer They decide to freeze a fertilised embryo in a medical facility They have a contract that says the embryo will be destroyed if they divorce. They divorce The now ex-wife is suing for those embryos as she wants a child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 She signed the contract. No case. Law will stand in favour of a contractual agreement. Yeah, that's how it looks to me too. Her lawyer is making the argument that as women can choose whether to have an abortion or not i.e. what goes on in her body, those rights can also extend to what she chooses to put in. http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Trial-over-divorcing-couple-s-frozen-embryos-6382260.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would hate it if she won. Just makes contractual agreements bollocks. Edit: Taking a really cold view, I agree with the bit in bold IF they were still in her body but she's given consent for them to be extracted, so the contract should stand. She COULD still try naturally, although with limited fertility probability, but that's the risk you take signing that contract. No case for me.

MikeO Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Legality of contract aside, if she's lost her ability to have kids and this is her only chance it's very sad if "it" just gets binned. You'd think the husband would have a bit of compassion (though obviously don't know the personal circumstances) even if he wasn't interested in being involved.

Matt Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 My question is: if she does happen to win the case and she has the child, does the father pay child support?that should be part of the negotiation in my opinion, if anything would help her with the case; let me have children and you don't have to have any responsibility.

Cornish Steve Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 It's surreal to see a picture of my youngest son's friend displayed at the BBC website. He was one of the four killed this week by the shooter in Chattanooga. He went to a high school near here. Both he and my son attended the same university, Georgia Southern, and were in ROTC together. They stayed in touch and played online together. Only today did my son learn his friend is one of the dead, and he's rather cut up about it, as you can imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
