youtube David Buust. I have been on the rugby field when a team mate went down with a broken neck, but even that the buust injury is the most horrible thing I have seen.

It sounds like an invasion of a giant swarm of bees... But their house their rules, if that is how they enjoy sport so be it. Just as it is the right of FIFA not to send the world up their again if it annoys everyone else so much.

we pay for it even through alcohol that annoys me.

I imagine this would be quite hard to prove if it want to court.

Thus she is guilty. £50 is too good for people like this.

Like a lot of these council jobsworths though, they go after the harmless person who tried to do the right thing. The 6'7'' skinhead with 2 big dogs would probably have been ignored by the 'enforcement officer'

What really annoys my is that the jobsworth council official who manages to sound like they are doing the poor woman a favour by not taking it to court. The UK is becoming full of petty officialdom, where complete jobsworths get to avenge years of being bullied at school by dressing up in a pretend uniform and making sure the million and one rules they have made up are followed to the letter. It also shows how messed up the system is where the local MP, or councillor for that matter, does not have the power to stop these things dead in their tracks, elected representatives should always have power over the bureaucrats.

Apologies I have just realised you are in this part of the world :doh:

Sounds like a true Geordie :laugh:

Ouchc

if (x == y)
{
//no action needed
}
else
{
// do stuff
x++;
}

Regardless of layout any empty conditional. :rolleyes:

Hate VB with a passion, mainly because I find code and comment smell all over it. :((

If you had known at the time it was low calorie, it would not have tasted anywhere near as good. That way you got the taste benefit of a nice unhealthy snack. With the added bonus afterwards. ;)

Good code should be largely self commenting, if variable, method and object names are sensible.

because I never would have figured this out

'this sets the engine type to singleline.
engineType.Value = xxxxxxx.EngineEnumType.Singleline
