Awesome. The same goes for most European countries. I can remember living in Germany and seeing the results of what happened if my soldiers got smart with the Politzie. "He tripped. A couple of time" Confused

I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it.

The Spanish don't mess around. Just today we were stopped for speeding (caught us on the camera Blush

). They were quite stern about it. Kinda wish I understood everything they were saying. All I got was that if DH wasn't the rank he is, the situation might have been worse. I've heard the Guardia Civil (which is a part of the military) takes a lot of time and will falsify the ticket. The car might also have a few extra scratches. I'll remember that video when I get the urge to rob the BBVA.

Guardia Civil are notorious for their harsh measures when dealing with the public. A mate of mine had both his arms broken when on holiday by a beating with truncheons for being drunk and a little out of order, outside a bar. Rough justice.

Goals for 2008: ~~10k - Phoenix Park - 6 April~~ 48:47 1/2 Marathon - Longford - 24 August Marathon - Dublin - 27 October. Its Man v Distance. Distance is in trouble.

Justice can be sweet. Modified to add. My wife has just informed me of how disturbing it is for a society to punish criminals with violence. While I in no way condone this behavior it does appeal to my sense of justice. BTW that double flip was awesome. I give it an 8.0 (only for the bad landing)
