That makes the human rights bill easier then and also law irrelevant - well that solves a few issues I suppose!

I could skirt by on that. I wasn't going to be buying the software in either case. I didn't "take" any money from them.



Love you too honey... Kisses
Well obviously someone that loves to take but can't be arse to pay their way - still, apparently no one is entitled to anything so maybe his ISP will remove his connection!
