As for my beauty regime... At night I take another bath with dead sea salts. I remove any other unwanted body hair. I exfoliate my body using an organic scrub. I exfoliate my feet using a foot scrub. I wash my hair with keratin shampoo and conditioner. I wash my hair on a daily basis but I use a ha...

One of Britain’s best known “little known facts” is that food manufacturer McVities went to court against Her Majesty’s Customs and Excise in 1991 arguing that Jaffa Cakes were not chocolate covered biscuits (cookies) but miniature cakes; and therefore exempt from VAT. The crux of McVities’ case wa...

The fact that he was drunk should not be considered when deciding on the punishment. We are equally responsible for our actions whilst sober and inebriated (unless the alcohol was forced onto him). Is that strictly true? Speaking purely as someone with the legal knowledge of a stuffed gerbil, is ca...

Textbook stuff, LP.

All hands to the stable door...

Seeing as (a) there will hopefully be a new influx of users in the next week or so and (b) I am bored, I thought it might be useful to compile some introductory guidelines as to the use of this fine website. Feel free to add any that I have missed out. Procedural guide to the Sinner 1. Originality o...

I'm not sure the West Port is big enough...

Do you know if the agreement covers oil reserves anywhere in the country or is it only for development of the known reserves and existing infrastructure? Good question. The dispute only related to the Abyei area and the tribunal does not seem to have been directed to determine ownership of hydrocar...

Sudan also had plans to increase production to 1,000,000 bbl/day by the end of 2008 which would push it up to 23rd on the list, but I can't find data on their 2008 production numbers yet. 480,000bbl/d during 2008 according to the 2009 BP Statistical Review of World Energy: http://www.bp.com/liveass...

Fawksie is pretty much on the money here. A small oar stuck in here and there below: a) how can The Sinner release any more details than an IP address? We hold University e-mail addresses for nearly all our registered users, and that gives us their names. If this matter was pursued in court we would...

Come on then - what are your plans for the summer? As ever, I have no chance of a glam holiday (it's strictly living on a building site for me) so here's your annual opportunity to boast about your fancy travels or compare crap summer plans!

http://foi.st-andrews.ac.uk/PublicationScheme/servlet/core.generator.gblobserv?id=1539 I am no accountant but note 4 to the accounts indicates that "Residences, catering and conferences" generated GBP 16,454,000 income in 07-08. The figure is unfortunately not broken down further into the ...

£317 better off. Find that hard to believe, particularly with the erosion of the personal allowance.

Frankly, we are all rather spinning our wheels on this topic until a greater level of CCTV and witness evidence is collated. This is certainly not my area but the CPS may be thinking along the following lines (bear with me - even by my high standards this is a long and boring post): (1) Charge the o...

Hm, interesting. Fair points, the officer didn't mean to kill anyone and in both cases the officer can't be blamed for a pre-existent condition. The eggshell skull principle in English tort and criminal law provides that the party committing the tortious or criminal act must take his victim as he f...

Just to update. Since my first post I have actually received three items by post. The first had a freepost returns address, so no issues there, but the second and third ones require that I "request" freepost stickers. I'm very angry about this. Does anyone know what the law about this is?...
