Lemonade Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 What is the best course of defensive action to take if you're being chased by a swarm of bees?It's one of my all time greatest fears, so I figure I should learn how to escape from it, just in case it ever happens.

Bees go at about 10mph so if you can get a shift on you should be ok, they get bored of chasing fairly quickly so it's not like you'll have to sprint for miles.

Soda Jerk Posted July 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Who gets fine money? Say you're walking home, and you get a good hiding from some neanderthal in a tracksuit, and he's charged with a fine. Who get's that? Does it go to the police, who weren't there to do anything about? Or does the person who got twatted get it? Logically, it should really be the latter, but I certainly have my doubts.

Scootray Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 In Scotland at least, the judge can decide to impose a fine and/or compensation. I can't actually remember where the fine goes to exactly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HateEvent Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 According to a mate of mine the Fuzz, it costs half a million to hand out an ASBO. neither of us can figure out where the money goes or comes from but to hand one out it costs the police/government half a million. Geez.The way they hand them out left, right and centre for the drivers beeping horns after 11pm and such... I have my doubts about that figure.

Chris Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I have doubts too, but the guy i know isn't one to make stuff up and says he was given that information at the police college.The home office say the average cost is 5350:http://rds.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/pdfs2/r160.pdfHowever a scheme to hand out junior ASBOs to under 16s in Scotland had an average cost of 500,000 each. But that's mostly down to the fact that only 14 were ever handed out, so the press (and opposition MSPs) spread the overall cost of the scheme across all of them rather than estimating the individual cost of each one seperately:Flagship junior Asbos cost m each in taxpayers' cash - Scotsman.com News Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 The 5000 will cover the cost of solicitor's fees, paperwork and the court appearance according to the PDF. Which makes sense.The money will come from the council budget I assume. When I was involved in getting an ASBO for a neighbour at my old flat it was the council that arranged it through their own solicitors.

Soda Jerk Posted July 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 They should build more jails, and put them in the jails they just built. When I worked at the court, I was told that they are trying to reduce the amount of people who are being sent to jail dramatically. More fines and community service. Clearly it's working. There's hardly any crime anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Zero Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 How come trains manage to run late due to 'signalling problems' no matter how good the weather is? In winter I thought it was to do with the cold but it seems to be a constant thing.Or are First Scotrail just lying cunts that use it as a catch all excuse for pishness?

Guest idol_wild Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Whatever happened to footballing prodigy Sonny Pike? Last I'd heard of him he'd cracked up and was playining non league football in Dundee or something.I remember that kid. I think his Dad pushed him too far, and the kid starting to believe all the smoke that was being blown up his arse. I think I recall reading a Where Are They Now? sort of feature in FourFourTwo magazine, and by all accounts, Pike could do anything with a football, but had no interest in actually learning the game, so coaches and teammates just gave up on him. He'd never ever pass the ball in team endeavours.I think he developed some personal problems too.Basically, he couldn't cut the mustard.
