Depends on the phone. SonyEricsson GSM phones certainly do this. Nokias don't. However, as the UK operators don't actually route emergency calls for phones that are not registered to there network, it won't actually work.
Vodka's taxed the same way as whisky. (Scotch is spelled without the "e", BTW.) In fact, not only is vodka the most popular spirit here, but the majority of the vodka consumed in Scotland is domestic. Often mixed with Irn-Bru, mind you...
I find the fact that in the US Smirnoff Ice has to be a strange brewed beverage that's almost a beer, while everywhere else it's a pre-mixed Smirnoff+mixer drink quite amusing.
Regardless of any argumnents for and against, the hunting of foxes is not going to be banned. However, the pratice generally known as fox hunting - which is a specific activity involving chasing and killing the fox with hounds and horses, and is considered by many to be barbaric and cruel - is likely to be outlawed by the current parliament.
There's a possible apocryphal tale that when the crime of buggery (which was used as the legal term) was introduced in Victorian Britain, Queen Victoria vetoed a similar law banning lesbian sexual acts as she refused to believe they were possible.
So patents are great when they're used against organizations you don't like, but they're evil when they're used to squash innovation? You can't have it both ways.
999 isn't going away. There's no good reason to stop it from working, even if 112 becomes the "official" number. Hell, 911 even works here, due to the number of times people dial it instead of 999.
But the UK tv licence company might demand that the macs tuner be locked somehow
Why would they do that? The only legal power they have is to collect the licence fee where it is due (including chase evaders - something they tend to be somewhat over-zealous in doing, as they just assume everyone has a TV).

They don't do that, either. No UK network will route any call by IMEI, or by non-registered IMSI.

I always thought oe = o+umlaut. Which would sound more like "ho" than "hoo", although not the same.

Budwieser in Britain is both. As far as I am aware, it's the only place where both can call themselves Budweiser.
Bud (as opposed to Budvar) is still the more popular of the two, though.
I believe the UK is the only place where they can BOTH be legally called Budweiser.
I always thought Hoegaarden sounded like an outdoor brothel.
Hey, I never claimed to like the stuff.

His/her use of "stadion" suggests that he/she probably is.
As a Scot I take objection to the Tartan Army being lumped in with English football hooligans.
It would be worth it just to not have a company name that is an anagram of genital.

Have you ever read a British tabloid? The Reg is not even in the same ballpark.
The same way that book publishers can still make money from things like this.
And the Welsh fourth channel, S4C, makes 5
How on earth did I get modded funny on this?
Beacuse nobody ever specifically banned it?

Where? Along the top I see 2xMemCard slots, 1xEject Button, 1xPS logo, 1xPower/Reset button.
Along the bottom, 2xController ports, 2xUSB ports, Air Grills, 1xIR sensor.
The DVDs were released yesterday in the UK. I would imagine that's probably also true for France (where the webpages in the GP appear to be hosted).
This is the wrong comment in the wrong thread on the wrong website.
True. But you can enjoy the delicious irony.
