I've still got mine from the 80s, but it hasn't left me any the wiser about jalapeños!

Beans and egg on one plate! I'm sure we've been through this.

She wasn't here at the time.

Ignorance of the law is no defense.

Ignorance of the law is no defense.

What'll you do if I unwittingly break a law?

Deport me?

She wasn't here at the time.

Yes I was

I ate the beans straight from the tupperware I microwaved them in.

The friggin' parcel is still in my porch. I've just been next door to deliver it, but despite one of their two cars appearing since I took delivery, there's now no bugger in.

Mrs P tried earlier too, with (obviously) no success.

The chances are that it will now sit in my porch for another two days.

Now if only you lived in a cul-de-sac!

To Lancashire.

I assume, from your spelling of defence, that it’s an American law and therefore not applicable to us?

I think @MikeG is from Suffolk, although I think that particular rule of law stems from the American practice.

Despite having been told that touching the bells on the elves would break their magical powers, little Jude just had to. And then he had to write to Santa to say sorry.

Just tell him Krampus may have to visit this year, instead of Santa.

Schrodie was missing! He hadn't been in for tea and he hadn't wandered in. I went outside and whistled for him but he didn't show up.
I looked in my garage to see if he had sneaked in when I wasn't looking. No! He wasn't in there. I searched in all our rooms in case he was asleep in one. No! I was getting worried as it was getting late. I was wondering if he had been locked in a neighbour's garage.
I asked my wife if she had been in the cupboard under the stairs but she hadn't. I decided to wait up to see if he would eventually turn up as my wife went to bed. A few minutes later I heard some talking! He had arrived! He was in the loft! He must have sneaked in when my wife was up there.

Ah. Yes.

Been there, done that, have several t-shirts.

.........I ate the beans straight from the tupperware I microwaved them in.

The perfect response to the conundrum. Well done.

I think it's the 11th commandment: Thou shallt not have two different liquids on your plate at the same time. Or maybe the 12th. The 11th is "do unto the right as you do unto the left" (AKA the Law of Equations).

I always thought the eleventh commandment was Thou shalt not get found out
