Riddle Thingy

[Partisan]

I have this nagging feeling there is going to be an awful punchline to that question. However, just in case there wasn't i did do 5 mins of research and found a couple of cases relating to cream cakes, but they had nothing to do with theft. So, in conclusion, i must admit defeat.

de minimis non curat lex

the Law does not take account of trifles.

and here's a bonus question just for you, James.

why is not illegal to steal a cream cake?

de minimis non curat lex

the Law does not take account of trifles.

This is not fair, C2. You didn't specify the cream cake. Imagine a giant cream cake prepared for a Royal Wedding, and James steals it, your advice in mind. The Law will take care of him, then.

Another remark: as far as I know the original principle is minima non curat praetor. Thus it is still illegal, but the Law system won't enforce the Law in such minimae (or trifles).

Therefore, p., beware of some legal advice...

had James come to see me in relation to a charge that he had suffocated someone by the non-consensual bodily insertion of a cream cake, my advice would have been detailed and learned.

Royal Wedding? there are no more Royal Weddings in my jurisdiction, wot ya on about, geezer?

Well, maybe our friend Harry finds himself some Eva Braun type gal, and his granny and her Archie of Canterbury will insist on a marriage.

well, the tampon thing was disgusting! but he's not a bad geezer, seems to me. I hope they are outrageously happy together.

I never realized you didn't drink, C2 ~ so, that was all naturally induced ? Very naturally ? Oh, my .

That's certainly no fair. Stealing a trifle as tiny as a cream cake, over here, can result in charges, and incarceration. From a teenager, all the way to a senior citizen. I've seen it with a teenager, who ~ via the point system ~ accumulated enough to push him into the incarceration range. Pitiful. He was living in a family where, due to the mother's crack addiction, food was highly scarce.

What's the link for Camilla's younger years? I loved Diana, but am not opposed to Camilla. True love really can prevail, though I pray Diana's death was not the result of this goal.
