Read about this Mike. How long before Rugby is banned? (I mean the game, not the town)

What it needs is a new law or ruling, " If you knowingly partake in an activity, sport or other event which might result in injury to yourself or your property then you have no claim on anybody else if you do get hurt." This could also apply to eejits who collide with lamp posts or other street furniture whilst texting and try to sue the local authority for placing said street furniture where somebody could collide with it. (if they did not look where they were going). I see somebody is trying to market an app which warns texting numpties of such imminent collisions!

The blame culture has got way out of hand, all sorts of activities are being affected, quite a few Classic Car shows have folded because the insurers want ever higher premiums "just in case", or placing severe restrictions; at one time it was common practice at such shows to have an enclosure where vehicles could be paraded and owners interviewed about their cars, now some insurers are insisting that no vehicles may move while the public is in attendance so they can't go to the "parade ring" from their club stand or position on the show field.

Hi vis clothing is required for all sorts of stupid things, a party of children on a school outing may be required to wear hi vis stuff in some places in others only the teachers need it.

If you don't want another parent to take photos at school sports day or the nativity play etc, then don't let your child participate. (Does wonders for the little darlin's, friendships "mummy won't let me take part cos your daddy might take a picture that includes me" It also spoils things for other parents & paints you somewhat neurotic!

The headmaster at my daughters private school informed us that we could not take pictures. I told him to get stuffed and clicked away. Indemnity forms have been around for a long time stating that "I will not hold anyone responsible if I fall over/burnmyself/fall off a cliff etc". Our local firwirk display/bonfire had to be cancelled because of insurance/indemnity probems robbing the village of another community event. Personally I beliieve in doing at least one dangerous thing a day, even if its only being rude to the wife.
