I think the ensuing confusion with apc2010 has arisen from B25's use of kangaroo for "kangaroo police"; which Viewpoint has interpreted as simply meaning "bogus" or "psuedo". But in fact "kangaroo" also means something altogether more sinister when used, more correctly, with court, as in "kangaroo court".

http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/kangaroo-court.html
Kangaroo courts are sham legal proceedings which are set-up in order to give the impression of a fair legal process. In fact, they offer no impartial justice as the verdict, invariably to the detriment of the accused, is decided in advance. Such courts are associated with groups who have found a need to dispense a rough and ready form of justice but are, temporarily at least, outside the bounds of formal judicial processes. For example, inmates in jail, soldiers at war, settlers of lands where no jurisdiction has yet been established.

Then you have nothing to worry about as the kangeroo court Will throw you in a kangeroo prison.

I see the cheapskates are still not worried about the Orams decision, they are just trying to find ways to get round it. Why?

I think the absurdity of the suggestion being made by the joker in that CY44 thread you've referenced shows that they are very worried, and they know that if this is the best suggestion they can come up with, they are right to be very worried.

Exactly, but they keep telling each other they are not worried.

In the words of Milti, plonkers!

That Gold Fassel is either Hungarian or Austrian and I first tried it in the early nineties in Kazakhstan and it was really strong then; about 7.5%; the Hungarians we worked with drank Tennants Super Lager as that was 11.5% and cheaper than the Fassel.
