   It is heart braking to see Rhys's mother. Her loss is irreplacable, and nothing will give her comfort except dishing to her son's killer the punishment she chooses. All talks about reforming society is hot air. We are human, nothing hurt us more than injustice, nothing deter us except fear of punishment. Bring back capital punishment, after all " eye for an eye" is the only solace for the hurt the Jones and many others are going through now. There may be one or two miscarriage of justice, but the goal justify the means. Hang them high, others may heed the lesson that the punishment is equivalent to the crime. None of that release for good behaviour. Make the prisons dirty, filthy and cold, let them sleep on concrete if they find the room to do so. Deprive them of comfort and sleep, like they did to their victims. They will soon worry about going to the other side of the prison wall. Do not send driving offender to jail but send these callous murderers and thieves to suffer for their crime, if you want to avoid prison overcrowding . I was on the board of visitor of a prison, the rights prisoners have is not given to them by their own family, the food they are given put John Lewis's food to shame, and they want a menu! yesterday on midland watch, prison officer were told to knock on prison cells and call the prisoners Mr so and so. Please do not insult the victims more.

   Dear Dr Khalek,

   As per Eddie's message, your comment would be much better placed on The Furrowed Brow - the place for serious discussion on serious topics - or on Thursday's Glass Box - which is the place to comment on the content of that evening's edition of PM.

   Hope that helps.

   :o) []

   I would like to be in a position to read and comment upon today's PM news letter. Unfotunately my companies firewall has blocked it on the grounds that it "contains language of a profane nature". Now I am intrigued...............

    This is somewhat spooky, as some would say, since I was thinking of that delightful song yesterday.

    A least there's no fear of post on THIS thread being in the wrong place.

    This comment should belong on one of the various threads where froggers' song contributions have been posted, but since I've already tried and fallen foul of the mods, I thought I'd try my luck here.
    The only difference being that I've stripped out links to an external website, which were the most likely cause of the denial.

    If Eddie thinks singing along to the Froggers' Song is too embarrassing, then what about the contributors he's highlighted so far?

    Anyway, being a radio presenter he can get away with having the lyrics in front of him - unlike his TV colleagues, who each year not only have to learn the entire set of lyrics to the songs they perform, but also learn a dance routine and wear some decidedly strange clothing...

    2006 - Bond Tribute *
    2005 - Queen (Bohemean Rhapsody) *
    2004 - 80s Tribute (Bananarama / Duran Duran)
    2003 - Motown Classics
    2002 - Rocky Horror (Timewarp/Sweet Transvestite) *
    ???? - Fatboy Slim (Weapon of Choice) *

    The performances in the years highlighted with a * can be viewed on a well-known video sharing site - just search for "大象传媒 Newsreaders".

    I assume a beach will be slug and snail free?

    Seen under Stourport Library:

    WARNING!
    Low Beams
    Minimum Headroom 6'6"

    
    I know what they mean, but it's easy when reading that for the first time to confuse headroom with height...

    And on similar matters, once when I was at Aberystwyth Uni, a 14' double decker took a wrong turn at campus and managed to wedge itself under the 11' high bridge formed by the biochemistry laboratories. Thankfully noone was on the top deck at the time, but the standing joke on campus was "So that's how Crossville make their open-top busses..."

    (Hard to think that Crossville still existed back in 1998 - and the green of the buses harmonised well with the green of Central Trains, who still ran the Cambrian Coaster back in those days. Nowadays, both are Arriva Blue)

    re: slugs and snails.

    We've had a monster crop of these this year. The only thing that worked was beer traps - but we couldn't afford to keep them going all summer. When I went out to top them up of an evening, I could hear Mr Slugs all over the garden saying to their respective Mrs Slugs 'Just popping out for a quick one dear - don't wait up'.

    I've found two large toads, one smallish one, and two babies. The small ones will get fat, no doubt - but some of the slugs have been so enormous, even the adult toads would have had trouble getting them down.

    I paid 拢12 for some nematode stuff (I don't like using pellets), but that didn't seem to make a difference.

    Throwing them over my neighbour's fence doesn't work either - he just throws them back.
