But that is what comes of having a "small state" and a "big society", something some people would like to introduce here. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1622#post-15733 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 13:02:27 +0000 chdot 15733@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think I was agreeing that no comment posts were sometimes unsatisfactory. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1622#post-15732 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 13:00:26 +0000 Min 15732@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well if you didn't think it was why defend yourself? :-P </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1622#post-15731 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 12:58:51 +0000 chdot 15731@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"It wasn't a dig at you, sorry."</p> <p>Er, as it wasn't why apologise?</p> <p>Even if it was, why apologise! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1622#post-15729 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 12:50:23 +0000 Min 15729@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Sounds more like a Mornington (or Morningside) crescent rule to me.</p> <p>It wasn't a dig at you, sorry. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1622#post-15727 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 12:37:48 +0000 chdot 15727@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Back on topic -</p> <p>"<br /> While he noted that the law presumes children under age four are incapable of negligence, "for infants above the age of four, there is no bright line rule<br /> "</p> <p>Wots the bright line rule?</p> <p>Related to the Brighton Line Rule? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1622#post-15726 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 12:31:01 +0000 chdot 15726@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"I am not normally a fan of posting stuff without comment"</p> <p>I'm sure that's not a dig at me, though I probably do it more than most people on here. </p> <p>I am conscious that this is a dilemma (for me). </p> <p>I put stuff up 'for information' and other people to comment on (if they want to). </p> <p>In some case the "comment" is the fact that I have posted it + (often) the 'tone' of the subject line! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1622#post-15725 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 11:27:52 +0000 Min 15725@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I am not normally a fan of posting stuff without comment but in this case I am speechless.  </p> <p><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-11657376" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-11657376</a> </p>
