Mark Connolly Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 19 hours ago, GordonD said: It's what they used to call a woman living with a man she wasn't married to, when that was still relatively unusual. Nowadays called a partner, or I think the official term is common-law wife. Either way, I'm not sure if the law has changed to give such a person the same rights as one who went through a ceremony. A mate of mine has a bidey-oot. They have been together for 20 years, but have no intention of ever marrying or living together. Sounds brilliant tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ask cos that woman who married Charles Bronson died yesterday. Being Britain's top nutter, Bronson obviously gets his fair-share of fan letters - mainly from the opposite sex. He appears to have chosen the one with the biggest chebs to propose to (over the phone). So they had the ceremony in his prison, and then whisked him back to his cell straight after. The marriage was never consummated, but I'm not quite sure if she divorced him - or he her (there were pictures of her on holiday with some young guy burying his head in her tits). This isn't even the strangest one. The bassist of the Slade was apparently engaged to Rose West for a while. The resulting furore got him sacked from the band and West called off the engagement. Fake news. Slade wasn't a real prison. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not allowed to vote, or indeed, nip down the shops. But it seems strange that they can get married in prison. Why is it allowed? Article 8, HRA - Right to private and family life. Interestingly, there's been a marriage between two male prisoners incarcerated in the same jail. That is allowed. If they are discovered having physical sexual relations, they are liable to punishment. Funny old world, innit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how can you have a family life if you're incarcerated and can't start that family? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a matter for m'learned friends, YE - paid, in these cases by Mr & Mrs Taxpayer - and It would not surprise me if some in this situation applied to adopt, and then filed discriminations claims when refused. Obviously, in a same-sex union, they woulddn't be starting a family in the natural way. Thing is, imates have a lot of spare time, and a hobby helps fill that time. A cynical man might say that endless frivolous lawsuits (LA funded) are a very popular hobby with our clients. You would not believe some of the cases I've come across in my time. Jeremy Bamber was convicted in 1986. He is still filing appeals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A96 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 My iPad is about 5 years old and just lately hasn't been charging at all when the charging plug and cable have been connected to it , in the house. The only way that I've been able to charge it is by using the car-cable when running the engine in my car. My question is , will it be ok for me to charge the iPad in my car by turning the ignition key on , without actually starting the engine?.......or am I asking for trouble doing that and running the risk of draining the car battery ? In case it isn't obvious , I'll confess to knowing sweet FA about cars and being a technophobe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, using various plugs , sockets and cables and resting the iPad in different positions. The only combination that seems to work now is the car charger 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
