I've tried -
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=UK+friendly+fire+ON+US+troops&spell=1

and -
http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=utf-8&fr=slv8-msgr&p=UK%20friendly%20fire%20acts%20ON%20US%20troops

and -
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=UK+friendly+fire+incidents&meta=

yet NOTHING comes up about UK forces friendly-fire on allied forces.. yet, we accept "friendly-fire" incidents DO happen in times of war and conflict.

...?

A couple of years ago, my brother and I were at an indie rock concert. Now my brother is a great guy, never even gotten a traffic ticket or broken any other law in his life. Since it was a small club, my brother and I went outside with some other people to cool off. Aster a couple moments, this police officer came up, hoisted my brother up by the collar and told him to get off "his side walk". This was unprovoked and let a nasty bruise on my brother's neck. So we called the police department next day and we were told we were lucky "we were not arrested!" What the hell? Why does this covering up for such behavior happen or even happen in the first place?

We have been in a rental property for most of our 6 month tenancy. Just before Christmas, I received a phone call from our lettings agent informing us that the landlord had suggested he would like us out of the property at the end of the tenancy.

However, several weeks went by and no Section 21 (Notice to Quit) was ever received. When I called to see what was going on I was told one had been sent, but NOT by recorded delivery so there was no evidence of this. They gave handed a copy of the letter that was sent where it arose that it had in fact been sent to the wrong Post Code, and the Notice to Quit referred to a property with the wrong post code.

The Post Code quoted does not exist, however it is the same post code that is for some reason on our Tenancy Agreement.

We have not found anywhere else to move to. We have always paid the rent and the property is still in good condition. Where would we stand, legally if we decided to remain at the property and how long could we stay for?

When Government of India spends Crores of Rupees to bring people like Monica Bedi and Abu Salem back to India to try them in our court of law and before the case could be resolved, Abu Salem declares his party so he can contest for elections - what is going to be the fate of our beloved motherland? Dont you think real powers should be given to Election Commission? Dont you think the cases of this type should be handled in a Fast Track Court instead of waiting to hear some so-called Information from this type of culprits? All this is happening in our beloved motherland with the Blessings of so-called Politicians. They are the root-cause of the crime in India. Kindly suggest some punishments for them who have underworld connections. Thanks.

1. The war was fought because of WMD's
2. It was British intel which said Saddam might still have WMD's
3. Iraq was a mandate of UK after WW1, aka property of UK
UK has been known to be imperialistic in the past
4. UK cars still run on gas, right?
5. Are we to believed George Bush Jr. tricked Tony Blair into this?
I've seen Blair argue at Parliment and in front of public, Bush's
toughest question so far was if he saw Brokeback Mountain.
6. British troops are in Iraq, right?

So how come I keep hearing Brits talk like we're to blame for this whole Iraq thing? Really...I'd like to know.

I have always wanted to visit the UK, But with all the political things happening with Bush and Blair, I am afraid that I will not be accepted..I also would like to tell you that the press and their polls on how we like our Pres. is a lie.! Our feelings on Bush are just as bad as your feelings with Blair, I would also like to say that I am just a common person, I am not a spoiled celebrity, or a snob, How will I be treated there?

I have heard that 'flipping the bird' to a cop in California is against the law. True or not? And please list the law/ordinance.

speech....but never tonight so much....There are four Presidents on the Mighty Mount Rushmore, that have felt the glory for time enough. I think its time, and there is room on that mountain for at least three more on the face proper.....lets unite and tell the government, we want more faces up there with Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt. .. I think with only the strength of Martin Luther King Jr's Freedom speech alone ... he should have his image be carved into that rock wall face.......lets get this thing moving.....refer to me as WTP17A ....Bless Our Minds ....thank you

Have you read John Grisham's 'The Innocent Man'? If so, did it change how you feel about the death penalty? (I'm mostly interested in hearing from my fellow Americans.)
**PLEASE- no bashing or ranting. I'd like to hear what people think not in starting a fight! Thanks!

My husband won a charity raffle at the local football club at the beginning of December ( a mountain bike). We were at the draw and he gave his contact details and was told they would be in touch to arrange delivery. All the other prizes were small electrical items and the winners took them away.
Despite several calls to the club ( who have told us they are trying to get in touch with the donator) we still have no bike and no delivery date.

Where do we stand?

many thanks
