So, in the last couple of days I've read here about banana-sizes, driving licences for the blind and the right to shoot Welshmen with a crossbow.
As I'm a great fan of silly laws and regulations, I was wondering if any of you can think of more good ones?

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

Oooh! I have an idea! How about this: if some one dies while under a doctors care, the doctor should be held accountable for them dying! Regardless of the doctors actions, regardless of how the patient died. The family will be given all of the doctors possessions, and the doctors family will be sold into slavery.
Well, I think that it would work.

Wasn't the banana thing just tabloid bunkum? And I thought it was a duty to shoot crosbows at Welshmen, not a right?

We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

Ireland's about to repeal some cool laws from the middle ages.
These include ones to prevent the wicked native Irish from fraternising with settlers and to prevent Jews from owning armour (because, you know, the Irish Jew population was very troublesome then).

It is illegal for anyone to fly the Lion Rampant without express permission from Her Majesty the Queen, or the Lord Lyon King of Arms on her behalf.

Really? Go call the police, I'm sure someone's breaking that law right now, quite visibly too.
Re: At least 13.97cm (5.5in) long, 2.69cm (1.06in) thick, without 'abnormal curvature
Some people are actually taken to court on the matter. I believe Cumbernauld Council was taken to the Court of the Lord Lyon for flying the Lion Rampant.

laws being enforced in the UK, will wonders never cease?
Edit: I'm shocked there isn't some sort of lion rampant tolerance zone that includes all of Scotland, like the cannabis tolerance zones in London.

Peronally, I think Holland and Belgium should form a league of their own, dedicated to pot and beer... they could call it the "Flanderian Union."This just stregthens my opinion to leave from EU asap and create an Scandinavian Union. Leave our Bananas alone EU fiscals.
Re: At least 13.97cm (5.5in) long, 2.69cm (1.06in) thick, without 'abnormal curvature
That sounds like a plan.Maybe we could start somekind of `free trade zone involving Bananas,Pot,Vodka and Beer.(Once we have ofcourse freed the Panaman Bananas).

So it seems the EU is setting up next to regulate the short arms of males in Europe by passing bad banana laws.
That was just pitful, but the dark side of the force drew me to making a very bad pun.

Its usually a longbow and it is a right at fifty paces or more, with said bow, to shoot said Welshman on the steps of Yorkminster.
1. During an Oxford exam you may order cider.
2. Entering the exam hall without your sword incurs a fine.
3. If a lord enters the exam hall on a horse everyone gets a 1st.

Thats actually quite reasonable, in a monarchist sort of way. The Lion Rampent is one of the Queen's symbols.
