Rugd1022 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Good news, a remake of the Gerry Anderson series 'UFO' is now in the post production stage, rather than using CGI the special effects team have resorted to the old school method using scarily realistic models... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

billy_anorak59 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 True or not? The Law at Christmas. If all the laws on the statute book were strictly enforced, Christmas would be the most boring day of the year in Britain. Doing almost anything on Christmas Day, even celebrating it in traditional fashion, is illegal. For centuries, governments have passed laws about Christmas, but none has ever bothered to repeal any. 1. Eating a Christmas dinner of more than three courses immediately puts you in violation of a law passed by Oliver Cromwell's Long Parliament of 1646. The same law bans the eating of mince pies and Christmas pudding on Christmas Day, describing both dishes as "abominable and idolatrous". 2. The Holy Days and Fasting Days Act of 1551 makes it obligatory for everyone to attend a church service on "the Nativitie of our Lorde". The same law demands that everyone walk, not ride, to church and back. The police are empowered to confiscate any vehicle used for Christmas Day church attendance, sell them and distribute the proceeds to the poor. 3. The Unlawful Games Act of 1541 forbids all sports on Christmas Day except archery. Leaping and vaulting were later allowed, so officially these remain the only three sports in which you can legally participate to work up an appetite for your multi-course Christmas Dinner (which, remember, it is illegal for you to eat). Other sportsmen have since protested. However, they have succeeded only having the general veto underlined. Footballers of both varieties must keep their chasing of the round or oval ball within the confines of their own parish, for an act of 1625 states that "there shall be no meetings, assemblings or concourses of people out of their own parishes for any sporte or pastime whatsoever." This makes watching a sport, as well as playing one, illegal. 4. Those who frown on ball games may hope to "bag" their Christmas dinner. No dice. An act of 1831 states that "no person whatsoever shall kill or take any game or use any dog, gun, net or other engine or instrument for the purpose of killing or taking any game on Christmas Day." 5. Few are likely to argue with the law passed by Charles II in 1677, stating that on Christmas Day "noe servant, artificer, workeman, labourer or other person whatsoever shall do or exercise any worldy labours, business or worke of their ordinary callings." This means that anyone can work on Christmas Day, but not at their normal job. All who maintain the essential services, including the police, are breaking the law. 6. Even so, there are some advantages to Christmas. You cannot be served with a summons or pressed for a legal time-limit expiring on Christmas Day, as it does not count in the calculation of days for most legal purposes. You are safe until Boxing Day, which is only a statutory holiday and not one, like Christmas, by common law. Mind how you go… 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
