      She's the one we're allowed to say is associated with the premiership footballer who took out an injunction. We're also allowed to say the premiership footballer who took out an injunction is Ryan Giggs. But we're not allowed to say she is the girl associated with Ryan Giggs (as she did not figure in the privileged Parliamentary debate). Except everyone knows that already. Such is the ridiculous state of the law in this country

          Glad to see we're maintaining the elevated tone of this thread. Vinteuil will be pleased

              You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later reply on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.

              From the US election and Biden's presidency, to gun control and abortion rights; stay up-to-date with the latest lines and comment with The Telegraph.

              Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
              Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                  It's a fair cop.

                  (PS I copied the caution from an official police site

                  I imagine that particular constabulary doesn't get many convictions....)

                    And I never watched Corrie until I was led astray here, so be careful Ofca, you may join certain of us here who watch Lord Sugar!

                      Betty & Johnny, When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again, Johnny Remember Me ? Actually, not sure about the second one.

                        Johnny

                        'Johnny is a Tradesman and he works in the Borough' quoted in one of Coates's 'London' Suites, but I'm not sure which;
                        'When Johnny Comes Marching Home' used in Dr. Strangelove (at the end Vera Lynn sings 'We'll Meet Again');
                        'Johnny Remember Me' sung by John Leyton

                        EDIT: I type all that out and what happens...? It's 'dese damn broads... you gotta love 'em

                          rubbers, you got the London Suite and supplied far more info so I think you win the K. Yes, the lack of refresh or warning someone has posted is slightly annoying isn't it.

                            Oh no, honey. You get the lil' ol' K, OK?

                            Besides, you know what I'm like with a Kalashnikov...

                                I think Anna gets to set 'K' - well done - although neither of you were thinking of the same Eric Coates reference as I was. He uses the theme from 'Johnny Comes Down To Hilo' in 'The Man Fom The Sea' from the suite 'The Three Men'.
