Not so sure about that … who watches the watchers? (or The Watch in earlier times) has a nice ring to it .
And those of you that go back far enough, will remember all those classic spam posts.That's a common translation, but 'who will guard the guards themselves?' may be more accurate.
Poacher turned game keeper
Ha ha! But I think pheasant with cream, peas etc on the stove top works well, not really poaching but close.You can only keep, or hang, game for so long. In my experience, game is best roasted or pan-fried rather than poached too.
Or have I finally lost the plot?

It tasted all the better from someone else's landpoached

Careful,or your'll end up with a Victor Meldrew tagMe, probably not so much, I'm a grumpy so-and-so.
not really - the sum total of Moderation "wiggle room" is encapsulated in the final sentence of the rules...
Please note : The spirit of the rules will always overrule the literal wording.
basically, it's there purely for when some barrack-room-lawyer tries to argue semantics about the written rules. Fortunately, my esteemed colleagues on the mod staff were chosen for their common sense and depth of real-life experiences, and generally employ these strengths in their day to day endeavours on here. Me, probably not so much, I'm a grumpy so-and-so.
But by Christ they can't half bite hard ..I'm sorry but I have to disagree, SNAKES do not have any common sense
Nope still don't get it
Don’t bother to ask someone if he’s from Yorkshire, ‘cos in 5 mins he’ll tell you — go back in your rhubarb bunker

Actually from Mid-way between the Rhubarb Triangle and the Liquorice fields... Surprising, with all those purgatives nearby that the local populace is still mainly full of s*** really....
I’ve always said it’s important to know the rules and when you break them, do it consciously and for a good reason -- such as when they were never intended to have a particular result. I think an extreme case might be the daft US gun laws based on the constituitonal mention of ”militia” (and no, I’m not anti-gun).
And to be fair we still have that right but it only apples to shotguns of limited capacity and non auto.. Nothing much wrong with the US version if they just made them join a “well formed militia“ .To b fair, there's support for the view that the 2nd Amendment is closely linked to the provisions of the English Bill of Rights 1689; and that neither created a right. They merely codified rights that already existed. The UK didn't move towards restricting these rights until Parliament passed the Firearms Act 1920. The justification for this, and the reasoning, were at best questionable.
Or have I finally lost the plot?

It's gone a long way (off topic, as tends to happen) and I've started to not understand what's going on anymoreThis thread has come a long way, hasn't it.

Phew, not just me then!
You can also license rifles for some purposes, but all firearms are subject to licensing. We do not have a right to own them, as commonly understood. Having said that, I get what you're saying.
This is a very complex debate and the issue of what constitutes a 'well regulated militia' or just 'the militia' is undecided, and has been since 1791. There certainly isn't any consensus that it refers to some sort of territorial or part time army that citizens have to join to exercise their rights under the 2nd Amendment.
The leading case on the RKBA and the 2nd Amendment seems to be District of Columbia v Heller (2008). There's a good discussion here: https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/second_amendment. This references some other cases and Cornell Law School aren't known for taking far right or vigilante positions.
I'm not defending the 2nd Amendment in itself, but it had its origins in English law which remained largely unchanged for another 230 years. The RKBA is part of the US Constitution for good reasons, and is not just 'daft US gun laws'.

This is TP what else were you expecting?This thread has come a long way, hasn't it.
Ah well, I've done my share to take it off topic, but I did have some assistance!
