    Apart from Ireland's ludicrous 10pm gargle shop laws, I recently discovered its "illegal" to keep a goldfish in Switzerland, in solitary confinement.

    The fcuk?

    What other laws are stupid?

    Go for it.

    I read somewhere that there was still a law in England until recently, whereby every man had to practice his bow and arrow for a certain amount of hours a day.

    The penalty for suicide up until 1964 was hanging.

    Surely that's the most stupid law there ever was!

    ....oh. :(

    Well, it's still a fúking stupid barbaric law. The sooner that shítstain on our constitution is removed, the better.

    Get rid of that ridiculous blasphemy law too. All I said was that halibut was good enough for Jehovah.

    If a pregnant woman needs to make a sh1te or piss in the street,she can do it in a Guards hat without fear or embarrassment.

    And the Guard must comply.



    May not be true,but an auld lad in a pub swore to me it was.

    If you think Ireland's 10pm alcohol laws are bad, checkout Sweden's. State owned off licences.


    Opening hours

    Monday-Saturday, perhaps until 7pm on weekdays and 3pm on Saturdays. In smaller towns, opening hours may be restricted to weekdays and/or office hours only. In remote areas and small villages, the local store often operates as an extension of Systembolaget, where orders can be placed in advance for collection on particular days of the week

    Spontaneous booze ups in Sweden are a big no-no then!
