There ought to be a law about that! Reviews

I never really thought I was much of a moaner until I started thinking about this opinion? My pet hate, the thing that really, really annoys me more than any other, is people who walk their dogs along the road without a lead on. Not only is this incredibly stupid, irresponsible and extremely dangerous for the dog, it ...  Read the complete review

Here we are again, that time of the year when all of Society's most useless get honours for doing nothing while the ones that should be rewarded are once more quietly bypassed. Case in point.....a group of overgrown schoolboys throwing a squashed football about are getting OBE, MBE or whatever and the captain of the team gets a ...  Read the complete review

When your 12 you can rent and purchase 12 rated videos. When your 15 you can buy and rent 15 rated videos and when your 18 you can buy and rent 18 rated videos. I am 16 years old and I feel this law is very unfair. The assumption is that your not mature enough to rent or buy an 18 rated movie when your 16 because you may act out the violent or ...  Read the complete review

Wouldn't it be great if you could suggest new laws in the UK, laws that govern what really gets up your nose on a constant basis. True the country would probably come to a standstill as everybody found themselves in jail but it's be fun for a while. There are a few things that really annoy me on a regular basis such as.... ...  Read the complete review

I really wanted to share my disgust with you about the horrible things we have to put up with when issuing books and working in the library in general. People always think it is such a nice quiet and clean job ~ but it is far from that! Sometimes you go home feeling dirty and one member of staff from a branch library even caught Scabies! I ...  Read the complete review

* As a poverty stricken student I am forced to slave away over a hot till in my spare time to earn some extra cash. I work part-time as a cashier at Halfords but I have also done my time in a hideous green and white striped dress on the checkouts at Somerfield. The behaviour below is not just displayed by customers at these shops though – ...  Read the complete review

In deciding upon a title for this review, I've also created a second transgression against which a law should be proposed. Namely, lame review titles. But I'm dry of inspiration in the moment, and there's nothing I can do about it. I just thought it courteous to apologise, if not to show that yes, I am aware that it's a hopeless ...  Read the complete review

Traffic and congestion is becoming more and more of a problem in Britain, particularly in and around major cities like London. In the capital there has been tremendous outcry to Mayor Ken Livingstone?s decision to introduce congestion charging to the city. This will insist on a £5 charge being paid by motorists entering central London each day. ...  Read the complete review

As I get older, I get more cynical. More cynical with the world. A world where we do not have any punishment of value available to chastise those who steal from the homes of others. The judiciary have chose this last week or so to announce that if you break in to people's houses and steal things, you shouldn't go to jail. ...  Read the complete review

I'll come clean straight off the bat and admit that I wasn't born in the UK and therefore didn't grow up with the tradition of bonfire night. I did however grow up in the United States where we have our own holiday, Independence Day, that is linked with fireworks. So, whilst the particular holiday is relativly new to me (I moved here ...  Read the complete review

There ought to be about speed camera?s. Let me explain. I don?t know whether it?s just me but everywhere I go I seem to find one springing on on me. In the most perculair places, scattered everywhere in roads that you couldn?t and wouldn?t even think of. Yes, I have been caught out. Yes, I got a letter to say I was 31mph and had been ...  Read the complete review

Thought I'd go for a shuftie at the how the Auroric Marvel was diddling over at dooyoo.de. It launched there this week. I headed to the Community Page first. You can find it here: http://www.dooyoo.de/community/ And this is the first thing I read (translated by Lycos just for you, cos I can only get the bare gist in ...  Read the complete review

(NOTE : I was trying to put this in a Speakers' Corner category in health or society, but apparently all those links lead to Pet Insurance (?!?) so this is the best I could do!) I think there should be a law against AGEING BADLY and here are my ten reasons why... I’ll be 33 on Wednesday. I loved turning thirty and ...  Read the complete review

I think there should be a law that makes all school age children be in their own homes by 9pm. I would stagger the curfew times so that 14/16 yr olds were in for 9pm, 11/13 yr olds in for 8pm and under 10s in for 7pm. If this was made law it would stop many arguments with wayward teenagers and their parents over what is a ...  Read the complete review

Slight category change, we're sure it's almost as good a place to put it! With hindsight, I can see it all now. Yesterday afternoon I was taking the roof rack off the car and the usual murmur of the chatting neighbours died off a bit while I was outside. As you glanced up you could see heads turning back sharply and hurried ...  Read the complete review

Ok, I'll get the disclaimer out of the way first: I, like pretty much all of this country's citizens, found myself genuinely and physically upset last week to learn that two young children had been abducted and murdered. I myself have young nephews and neices, and find the idea that a stranger could step in and inflict harm on ...  Read the complete review

There should be a law about hellish neighbours! If they become too much of a pain and interference, they should be moved. It's some form of harasment surely!!! Everyone wishes they could have lovely neighbours, someone to chat to when electricity goes out, someone to invite to BBQ’s, someone to borrow sugar and milk off, or ...  Read the complete review

My quibble, I admit, hardly deserves the attention of the British Police, but the self-proclaimed style police would do themselves no harm by becoming involved. My Great Toilet Debate concerns those horizontal, wall- or door-mounted holders that dispense one's loo rolls, and, specifically, the vital question as to which way the roll ...  Read the complete review

The main problem with society at present is the decline in respect for others. This takes many forms. There has always been one law for the rich and another for the poor. This problem has got worse.Poor people steal (relatively small amounts) - rich people misappropriate, embezzle etc(very large amounts).Poor people get poor legal assistance ...  Read the complete review

While I heartily agree with many of the suggestions made by others in this category, my current pet rants are about things which are already forbidden by law, it's just that nobody ever enforces it! So here they are: 1. stealth cyclists You're already one of the most vulnerable road users, so why do you choose to make it worse ...  Read the complete review
