    Surely, you'd just get them in the witness box and argue with them until they admitted masturbation.

    It's just I've got an overwhelming desire to call a few people wnakers and I'm finding it difficult to hold back. The ******* wnakers.

    Because it's a civil case the principle of "innocent unless proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt" does not apply. Instead the complainant would have to prove "on the balance of probability" that he/she is not a wnaker. However, you would have to prove "on the balance of probability" that they are. Statistics might suggest, circumstantially, that you would have the upper hand (so to speak).

    There's never been a better argument for televising UK court cases. The entire country would come to a standstill.

    I would think an out of court settlement in a nearby hotel would be the best solution.

    A decent lawyer would probably be able, under cross examination, to provoke premature capitulation.

    Bugger, just about to go out, I'll miss it. I'm sure the evidence on both sides will be tossed backwards and forwards until the climax of the case.

    I like that. I'm not sure it'll work though.

    I actually witnessed that happen once while at RAF Cranwell

    one of the lads (Stevie Foster from Brum) on the squadron actually asked our baby Eng Officer, after he had made yet another dumbass decision.... "sir if I called you a lovely person would I be put on a charge"
    baby Eng...... "Your feet would not touch the ground Airman"......
    Foster replies "but Sir if I just think that... errrm... well what then "
    Baby eng " well that would be ok I suppose, your personal thoughts are your own Foster"....
    quick as a flash Stevie shoots out " then Sir I think you are a lovely person"
    Luckily the whole thing was all in a bit in good humour and a good laugh was all that ensued... In the long term the said baby Eng Officer turned out to be a bloody good Egg in the end, he was called Barry Jones, not sure where he was from... he was a decent footballer too. I Played along side him in the station team.
