Sidetracking, but I was reading something on the BBC about the lovely Ian Brady and his latest predicament.

It said "the murderer is sectioned under the Mental Health Act, so he is not allowed to take his own life."

I think I get what they mean - namely because he's been forcefed for over a decade, and is hence being prevented from taking his own life, but part of me read it as ["by law"] it's somehow illegal for him to top himself because he's sectioned, whereas it's fine for everyone else!

By law every woman should have to read 50 shades of grey so men could tie them up and beat them and women would think it great - according to my husband last night (it was tongue in cheek:p)

By law you're allowed to shoot a scotsman with a bow and arrow....provided it's in York and you're stood on the city walls.

I keep hoping I can lure my ex to York...Oh and get a bow and arrow from somewhere!

even my twaddle-spouting colleague hasn't come out with those 2 - better keep him away from this thread otherwise he'll start using them!

sorry if it's been mentioned before, did do a (fruitless) search ...

by law you need a licence to own a television

By law you have to let me use the toilet - I worked in a council office, there were only staff toilets and there would have been a huge security breach.

By law you have to prove you're over 25 to buy alcohol - except they won't accept an alcohol license as proof of age

By law, you cannot leave a twelve year old alone at any time, let alone for less than an hour as you come home from work. Just how people are supposed to have jobs when they have children too old for nannies and nurseries, I have no idea.

By law, a ten year old cannot walk 10 foot in front of you with their best friend and her mum for 5 yards and go in through the school gates without you holding their hand. As a car or runaway lorry might come plowing down the pavement and squish them and it would be ALL YOUR FAULT FOR NEGLECTING THEM.

By law, an 18 year old cannot look after their younger sibling when you have a half day's work because THAT'S ABUSE. The fact the 18 year old could quite legally look after their own child if they had one is neither here nor there, apparently.

By law, all dogs that don't look middle class enough to fit into a John Lewis advert must be muzzled.


I am sure there are many, many more.

by law you have to tell your doctor your sexuality when you visit them -
i went to see a dr about not sleeping or falling asleep in middle of the day and he said do you have a girlfriend what do they think of your sleeping pattern etc and i said i don't have a girlfriend but my boyfriend says .... he suddenly turned on me telling me i should have legally notified him of my sexuality and demanded i went for an aids test ...( i was clear but then i new i would be.)

Pretty sure that's a real law.

"By law, you have to be 18+ to smoke and drink".

(Nah, you just have to be 18+ to buy the above-named vices...)
