Politics & Government - 17 December 2006

My father was a 1/3 beneficiary of his father's irrevocable trust. A few days after my father was diagnosed with a terminal illness, my mother asked me to sign my inheritance over to her. I did so without question because she told me that it would help support her after my father's death. My father passed away 3 years ago and the inheritance from my grandfather remains in trust until his wife passes. My mother received a very large inheritance from the passing of my father 3 years ago and she is now steadily employed as a nurse. She no longer requires my inheritance to survive, yet she absolutely refuses to sign it back over to me. I have no idea what I signed and she won't provide me with a copy. Is there any way that I can revoke whatever it is that I signed? What are my options?

A friend has a potential b/f who we suspect of lying about his past -- a LOT. He claims to have been a Colonel in the US Army; a Secret Service agent on the Clinton Presidential detail; and a professional baseball umpire. Is there a list of former Secret Service agents, who'd served in the White House, that is authoritative? We'd love to catch him in just one lie, irrefutably.

What ho

Me and the chaps at the country club have had the most wonderful idea.

If you live in a council house you should be brought to country mansions in your spare time(well you would have lots what with being on the dole) to clean the gutters and tend the fields free of charge to let you gain the benifits of some hard work and see how decent people live.

I think this is a spiffing idea and you council dwelling oiks might learn a thing or two.

So should we restrict this fabulous scheme to British white trash or should we include asylum seekers to be a bit more P.C?

Tally ho!!

I mean the government is always saying about overcrowding in our prisons so if we got rid of those serving life sentences it would surely improve the situation and give more resources for the prisoners that are in need of help. After all whatever happened to the saying a life for a life?

I have a court case for ancillary relief coming up at the end January. The case particulars are very established now and nothing left in the way of negotiations - just submission of papers and oral arguments. My barrister is excellent and has done a very good job to date.

In the meantime, my solicitors have done a poor job and have been increasing their billings dramatically. Now they have put forward an estimate of skyrocketing costs to conclude the case.

We see it should be a decrease of costs as we have nothing left to negotiate and it is simply up to oral arguments.

Can we dismiss our solicitors and still maintain the barrister by direct representation? Could I represent myself and what would be my odds for success? We have 5 weeks before the court hearing - what options might be available to us in this situation?

Simple question; who would win an all out war, Israel vs Iran. Now this isnt considering other countries pulling in to help (ie America for Israel, China for Iran, ect..) this is just Iran vs Israel, no other influences. Please explain why you chose who.

Is it sufficient? The entire money could be made as statues. Who is bothered. Large scale installation of statues is very good for the nation. Otherwise, the money will be wasted in some other way. Atleast here people garland. Somehow, money has to be diluted in one form or other. And meetings are held in appreciation of statues and the leader. And when they make it near the temples the people statues get more attention than the temples. Statues have market in India and will stay with more power. The Late Dr. Ambethkar statue was damaged/removed, nearly 50 buses were stoned/ burnt and one Deccan Queen Train was burnt. So much of respect they give for statues. Poor policemen have to guard the statues. The courts in India have to create lots of time for these statues and provide solutions. Indians are kept busy with statues. All the Governments all over India have the most important jobs are to create statues, maintain them provide security and give law & order solutions.

I watched the reports Dr Sanjay Gupta is producing on CNN.
I think the titles & the contents of his subjects (happiness, genius) are cheap & very much far from being scientific.

My friend asked me for advice the other day and I wasn't sure what to tell him. His 21 yr old son bought a new car 6 months ago. His father had to co-sign the loan. The son agreed to make weekly payments to the father for the loan, insurance and taxes and the father took care of making sure they got paid on time. The son hasn't made any payments in 3 months and refuses do anything about it. He has a job but would rather spend his money partying. The title and registration for the car are in the son's name (with the bank listed as leinholder). The father would like to just stop paying the loan and let the bank repossess the car but he doesn't want his own credit ruined. Can he take possession of the car until the son pays his debt or sell it to pay off the loan? The son will not give up the car readily. The father wants to just take it and hide it then tell his son he can have it back when it's paid for. Can the son report the car as stolen?
