   Re. the sound clip, I think the phrase you were looking for was "value added".

   They say that ignorance of the law is no defence. Clearly the ´óÏó´«Ã½ are hoping that knowledge of the law will be. Or that it will, at least, teach you where best to hide...

   The ´óÏó´«Ã½ would, of course, be better off buying in the services of a top legal advisor. I hear Lord Goldsmith is a reliable kind of chap in this respect.

   So I don't get the clip !

   However that was ILR ?

   Q - What is the difference between legally inclined and illegally inclined?

   A - Four joints or a crate of lager.

   I am almost always legally disinclined. But not always. To say 'always' would be to imply that I am always legally disinclined. Which would not necessarily be accurate.

   Oooh, Eddie (you waking up early person) I can't wait for your finely-honed legal brains to get to work on those slimy squirmers who avoid answering the question.

   btw, my current hate 'avoid the answer' phrase is "What I WOULD say is..."

   eg "Minister, how did your department come to make such a complete mess?"
   "Well, what I WOULD say is that we have made enormous strides in the successful implementation of ....cont'd p94"

   Yes, I'm sure you WOULD say that, wouldn't you?
