Important stuff i need to know before visiting

Recommended Posts

Posted

According the the source of all knowledge (the interweb)... there are a few things that are vital to know before i come back...

All English males over the age 14 are to carry out 2 or so hours of longbow practice a week supervised by the local clergy! (its the first time ive heard it called THAT!)

It is illegal to be drunk in a pub or bar. (wait..umm..no...really?)

Any boy under the age of 10 may not see a naked mannequin. (Paedo)

It is legal for a male to urinate in public, as long it is on the rear wheel of his motor vehicle and his right hand is on the vehicle. (But, im righthanded and dress to the left?)

In Chester you can only shoot a Welsh person with a bow and arrow inside the city walls and after midnight. (FT's resident welsh persons should stear clear of Chester then)

Any more important tips you folks can share with me?

:D

i dont know if its urban myth or not, but its illegal to eat fish and chips on a sunday.

As I understand it, it was once illegal for a fish and chip shop to open in Leicester on a Sunday because the fish would not have been fresh that day. Some Mayor once introduced it but it was soon removed.

A bed may not be hung out of a window.

It is illegal for a lady to eat chocolates on a public conveyance.

Throughout the whole of England it is illegal to eat mince pies on the 25th of December.

Any boy under the age of 10 may not see a naked manequin.

It is still an offence to beat or shake any carpet rug or mat in any street in the Metropolitan Police District, although you are allowed to shake a doormat before 8am.

It is illegal to leave baggage unattended, and picking up abandoned baggage is an act of terrorism.

It is illegal for a lady to eat chocolates on a public conveyance. More disapointment, watching an attractive lady eat a flake on the train was one of the few pleasures of public transport :)

FAO Aussies and Kiwis

quick couple of questions , (not really Important stuff i need to know so i won't start a thread )

A couple of dvds came my way the other day that features a NZ bloke called Barry Smith ( died a few years ago), who I can only describe as some sort of conspiracy theorist, evangelist, jehovah' witness type.

He made a load of good interesting "New World Order type conspiracy points , even though I don't agree with his recipes for dealing with them

Is/was he very well known in the southern hemisphere ? (as I'd never heard of him before) , did he have a large following ?, he seemed quite a charismatic character

He also stated quite catagorically that NZ was actually a state of Australia , (a "fact" that few people were aware ) is this true ?

any more interesting info on this bloke would be welcome :thumbup:

Posted
never heard of him nor has me Kiwi mate

thanks ; Barry Smith is obviously not a household name then :D

I just thought he may be a bit more famous over there than here :thumbup:

how about NZ actually being a state of Australia , is this true ?

Yes, it was part of NSW at one point.

Wiki entry

We did read about this in both Sydney and at the national museum, Te Papa, in Wellington.

Don't visit Leicester if you stand piss-annoying idiots shouting at you about their religion under the clock tower.

it makes me smile, it also makes me smile having member odf the nation of islam, almost, give me a leaflet, but then quickly take it back when they realise i'm not the correct colour as happened a few months ago.

i like to hear what these people have to say, so i know what i can use in arguments against them, if neccessary.
