But......I travel on a horse, on a sledge and on a bike. Would you say you traveled on a submarine or in a submarine?

I travel on a bus, on a train and on a plane. I travel in a car, in a taxi and in a lorry. Why is it "in" rather than "on" or vice versa?

I don't have any information on the case. But in general- A murder charge can be reduced to manslaughter much easier than the other way around. Murder due to gross negligence is a legal possibility but normally negligence is downgraded to manslaughter. Murder implies there it was a premeditated act. In other words the officer set out to kill. I'll be interested to find out the evidence that supports that. Interesting stuff.

The people recommending violence should be ignored. You hit him. He grads a knife and stabs you. In all matters violence should be the last resort. If you decide to report this to the Police they will look at the matter. But unless the guy admits and/or your ex gives evidence against him, there's no real prospect of conviction. If the guy has a clean criminal record and he admitted it I'd expect him to get a formal caution and no more. But this could become a regular occurrence. If so, it's better to get it reported now. Good luck.

Special Brew was known locally as Trampagne.

Get both sides of the story before deciding what to do. There are 3 recollections of any situation. My version, your version and what actually happened.

Yes. I couldn't imagine life without her. 20 years married. 26 year together.

Nationalisation of the rail industry. I remember state owned British Rail. It was terrible. Forming a state owned drug company to produce cheaper drugs. Patents still apply. Would the drug companies take this lying down? Making companies offer a certain percentage of shares to the workforce. It sounds good in theory but how could it possibly work in practice. How could you stop people selling their shares? What happens when staff leave? How much would this reduce the value of existing pension funds?

Deleted. Double post.

For the first time ever I can't vote for anyone. I normally vote Labour with FIBDEMS as my second choice if Labour are too left wing. Corbyn is definitely too left wing for me but I haven't forgiven the FIBDEMS for selling out their principles as soon as they got a sniff of power. I believe we should stay in the EU but I also believe we should respect the result of referendums. I also wash on a regular basis which automatically prevents me voting Green. I wish there was a box on the ballot paper "None of the above".

Steve Bruce is the bookies favourite to replace Al-Baghdadi. Neil Warnock is second favourite.

Having just Googled the number of pipes that dump raw sewage into the sea, I would like to change my guess to >> "The number of beaches where its presently dangerous to swim because of raw sewage".

I'm going for the number of pipes that dump raw sewage into the sea. Although the key to the map would probably have been better in brown.

It connected in to the coast and The Thames Estuary. It also looks connected to tourist areas on the coast. Human deaths caused by jet ski's being hit by dolphins who are called click-whistle-click-click?

Theoretically, the water pressure 9 feet below the surface is sufficient to prevent ejaculation leaving the penis. In reality, the pool's lifeguard prevents this.

I'm on holiday. The hotel is brilliant but the dinner menu has been translated by someone with no knowledge of English. Today I ordered "Sheep Paws" which I correctly guessed was Leg of Lamb. This was accompanied by "Some Vegetable" which surprisingly was garlic mushrooms. For dessert I ordered "Snail Milk" purely to satisfy my curiosity. It was a cinnamon whirl pastry with cream.

Unadopted roads aren't normally a big problem. It simply means the council accept no responsibility for maintaining them. If a pot holes appears you shouldn't expect them to repair it. It's up to the people who use that road to repair it or just ignore it. As a rule of thumb councils tend to adopt roads that lead onto an adopted road at both ends. Even dead ends might be adopted if they are used by enough people. The main reason for not adopting is if the road doesn't fit in with the council's wider policies. For instance if the road is a shortcut that screws up their preferred traffic flow. If a road hasn't been adopted for 15 years my gut feeling is that there's a problem. But is it a problem to you? If that road were in a terrible state of repair would it matter to you?

It does fall over. The Clangers stand it up again.

Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream? Winnie The Pooh (or someone with a similar name)

Only a complete vase would spend £215 on that knob.

How many uncooked lobsters were liberated when the Titanic sank?

Did you own a mine and try to scare people away by pretending to be a headless miner? Just a hunch.

The bible has a clear view on gluttony. Those pages must have been missing in his copy.

I took my god daughter to Disneyworld. Her dad and I played a game. Who could get the most inappropriate photograph with a Disney Princess without causing moral outrage or being asked to leave. I won with a superbly timed photo where I am on my knees behind a delighted Snow White and I have chocolate smeared on my nose.
