As outlined in the following BBC article, here are the top ten most ludicrous UK laws chosen by the public.

  1. It is illegal to die in the Houses of Parliament (27%)
  2. It is an act of treason to place a postage stamp bearing the British king or queen’s image upside-down (7%)
  3. It is illegal for a woman to be topless in Liverpool except as a clerk in a tropical fish store (6%)
  4. Eating mince pies on Christmas Day is banned (5%)
  5. If someone knocks on your door in Scotland and requires the use of your toilet, you are required to let them enter (4%)
  6. In the UK a pregnant woman can legally relieve herself anywhere she wants, including in a policeman’s helmet (4%)
  7. The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the King, and the tail of the Queen (3.5%)
  8. It is illegal not to tell the tax man anything you do not want him to know, but legal not to tell him information you do not mind him knowing (3%)
  9. It is illegal to enter the Houses of Parliament wearing a suit of armour (3%)
  10. It is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls of York, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow (2%)

I’m sure I could be prosecuted for doing at least two of these!


Dave TVAnt sent me a picture message of the TV whilst he was looking through the channels earlier. Apparently there’s a TV channel named after me.

So now included with the Ikea table named Dave, we also have the TV channels called Dave!


I’ve been experiencing something weird lately, something I like to call Phantom Leg Spasm.
Now, as the title says, this involves my leg and a spasm. What happens is this. My leg likes have a twitch, like my phones vibrating, even when my phones no where near my leg. It’s rather strange!


How can you sell a product with the word mystic in it?
On my walk back from the train station this evening i saw one of those tanning salons you now often see when walking through suburban London.
One of the transfers in the window read “Mystic Spray Tan”.

What the hells a mystic spray tan!?

lotsa emails this way!
