Am I the only one baffled and confused by all this?

No. I'm beginning to wonder if I've completely missed the point too.

No. But you're baffled and cunfused by everything, so I wouldn't use that as a yardstick.

B

That's a filthy lie! Some things just confuse me and leave out the bafflement!

There was I seem to recall a thread with this title in GDs journal some time ago that was yiksed up like a kipper.

I wonder what a kipper that's been yikesed up looks like?

The only Google image research for 'kipper yikes' (no quotes) gives this:

So now you know.

Yes, FB. I imagine you have quite a collection of e-mails from the mods saying that this and that post from my journal has been failed, yadda, yadda, yadda

Indeedy... Hence I hope my relativly consevative approach in this one.

Have you read High Society, by Ben Elton ?

Somewhat describes your party - I'd have called the law as soon as I was outside.

Great use of police time - arresting party goers rather than burglars/muggers/murderers/drug pushers/rapists etc.

Well I've just been reading about a copper who discovered a couple enjoying themselves in their car, and he joined in!

I dunno, what's the world coming to...

I read that too and wondered why it was news. Policemen are people, and it's only the tabloid obsession with making sexual practices scandalous that makes it an issue in the first place.

Mind you, I only read the headline. It is possible that he raped somebody, which would be disgraceful and newsworthy, but if he just had sex while on duty I doubt he's the first and I think we've got more important things to worry about (I refer you to my post a couple of posts back).

Well I read the whole thing, he was on duty at the time, and he got a call from other colleagues while otherwise occupied and told them he was busy and would join them in 20 minutes. Or so.

I know policemen are human but that's dereliction of duty!

Actually Raymondo drugs are illegal - the production of cocaine supports an industry of terror, and murder, and whilst people make the excuse "its the only cash crop these farmers can grow" they overlook the life-style that goes with it. They are seriously affecting the Andean jungle by clearing fields in it for production of cocaine. In Columbia drug money rules everything, need a school ? You've got to get clearance from the drug runners.

As for your muggers and burglars - probably 70% of them are trying to raise the money to buy drugs.

Which proves just how effective prohibition is.

I'm not advocating drug use.
