  8. Re:Priest? So? on Busted For Using Library Wi-Fi Outside The Library · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't think it was a factor either, it just bothers me that people are jumping up and down and screaming about civil liberties, and adding the fact that he was a priest to it as disclaimer; the law applies to everyone, (possible not the COBOL programmers..) and even if he was Mother bl**dy Teresa, I'd expect Police to question if an illegal activity was taking place.

  9. Priest? So? on Busted For Using Library Wi-Fi Outside The Library · · Score: -1, Flamebait
    Sorry, but while I might agree that this is hardly a crime, the fact he is a priest does not absolve him of the willingness to commit crime; from The Times this morning:

    A ROMAN CATHOLIC priest who was allowed by the Church to carry on working after he admitted assaulting a teenage boy was sentenced to four years yesterday for a catalogue of sex offences against two young brothers.

    William Hofton, 49, became obsessed with the brothers, aged in their early teens, and groomed them for sexual abuse, taking them on trips and heaping personal praise upon them, Middlesex Guildhall Crown court was told.

    It was a Priest who screwed up the Olympic Marathon:

    A DEFROCKED priest who disrupted the men's Olympic marathon by grabbing the lead runner was given a 12-month suspended sentence yesterday. Cornelius Horan, 57, a former Roman Catholic priest who lives in London but is from Co Kerry, dashed out of the crowd dressed in a kilt and red beret, and dragged the marathon leader to the ground.

    :) It just pisses me off. First thing I did when moved out was get a TV licesnse for the crappy 15" set I played my megadrive on... I couldn't afford the bloody thing. It also annoys me that you pay in advance for next years license, so half the year is spent coughing up for something I haven't recieved yet.

    Well, Hell's Kitchen was very funny. Where on the BBC do you get to see Gordon Ramsey tell Ednwina Curry that she f*cked the Prime Minister, and now she's f*cking him?

    I don't object to an anuual fee, just that it goes to everybody i watch, ie, like Sky, I pay for a package, i get that package. It annoys me that I have to pay even if i own a set, regardless of what i watch, even if I only use if to play my XBox.

    Except they have just as many sodding adverts as the other channels. Yeah, you don't get 10 seconds of "This show sponsored by Creamsicles", but who cares about that? They're much less annoying than the tripe that gets served up every ten minutes just after you've sat down with you're cup of tea....

    Which means that the UK government will have to figure out how to finance the BBC

    The same bl**dy way the other channels manage. ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5? None of my Licence Fee goes to them, and IMHO, most of the shows are better...

  25. Re:Good old Auntie! on BBC Begins Open-Source Streaming Challenge · · Score: 1

    Actually, you get two channels, without being digital. You don't need a license for the radio, nor the rest. So I'm coughing up £125 for the priviledge of *owning* a telly. Despite the fact I can get at least three other channels that I don't have to pay for. I'd rather see my money go into a system whereby BBC1 & 2 can be blocked to non-license payers.
