yes, in french it would be "la douceur de vivre"

The Matrix Reloaded started something when 'The Merovingian' wore a number of very flashy ties... the thing it started was millions of geeks saying what a shit film it was.

I feel like I'm repeating myself a lot. England & Wales does not equal the UK. This ban does not apply to Scotland where the prison service is a devolved body. Sending books to prisoners is only banned in PART of the UK.

while more of a communications protocol than a language he speaks brilliant Kermit. Like many Americans, Bill does speak English which is a foreign language. His wife is French. (OK, it's really just her maiden name - there has to a be a wife/cunning linguist joke in here somewhere)

the 4th has never applied to international borders.

by the hand that feeds it i'm going to assume the government and not the movie/music buying public - whom they already persecute.

or simply inform Adobe, Microsoft, MPAA and all other interested parties for the data you have on your laptop that the US Government is in violation of copyright by copying their data which you have licensed and legally hold on your laptop. Let them with fatter wallets sue them.

true, however breach of the peace isn't an arrestable offence if it is not ongoing nor likely to recur.

breach of the peace is *NOT* and never has been an arrestable offence if it is neither on going or likely to recur. So you can stop yourself from being arrested if you shut up when the police arrive ;-)

actually, the police have a warrant that permits them to arrest for arrestable offences. the police seldom don't know what is and isn't an arrestable offence though as I can attest. I was once "arrested" until I explained to the officer that my "crime" wasn't actually an arrestable offence and they could only arrest me during the commision of the crime or if it was likely to recur (which it wasn't), so they would need a proper warrant to arrest me. the matter was dropped.

I always thought it was about a Captain that could keep his ship in the harbour long enough to get everyone off.

I suspect that the methane produced through the switch to a vegetarian diet would overshadow the CO2 reduction. Methane is thought to be a much more efficient greenhouse gas.

I thought that the firing pin and the bullets were still metal and therefore detectable?
