My mistake, merely a thousand quid fine for hurting someone's feelings.

No wonder birth rates are going down when the government is encouraging such a lack of testicular fortitude among citizens.

I've not been around these parts for a while.

It's nice to see the same old faces, in the same old threads, on the same old topics......... with the same old views.

In a fast changing world, it's nice to see some things don't change.... almost reassuring if it wasn't so sad.

Many of the posts in this thread have been a regurgitation of past posts by the same people. It would be much more efficient if you all just put your malicious views on your profiles - or posted a FAQ!

with all due respect not everyone who has expressed a negative view in this thread has malicious intent. My views are quite strong but I wish no one injury harm or suffering

Welcome back

This goes to prove what an ass the UK law is.

If I sit in my garden nude, I can be arrested for indecent behaviour, If I see mt female neighbour sunbathing nude I get arrested for being a peeping tom.

What if the gay couple in question where kissing in a mosque?

What if the gay couple had a machine gun, three machetes, and seventeen zombie rabbits?

Equally invalid hypothetical straw-man question......

unfortunately your seventeen zombie rabbits make it impossible no longer hypothetical

Hypothesis - an idea or explanation of something that is based on a few known facts but that has not yet been proved to be true or correct

Hypothetical - supposed but not necessarily real or true (Oxford Dictionary)

It also says

Logicdenoting or containing a proposition of the logical form

see no logic in zombie rabbits lol

Hypothetical reasoning is often presented as an extension and application of logic. One of the starting points of the study of such reasoning is the observation that the conditional sentences of natural languages do not have a truth-conditional semantics. In traditional logic, the conditional “If A, then B” is true unless A is true and B is false. However, in ordinary discourse, counterfactual conditionals (conditionals whose antecedent is false) are not always considered true.

Encyclopedia Britannica again uses logic in its definition.

The example given for you definition uses a possible 10th planet (out of date obviously)so its again based around something that is possible Zombie rabbits simply do not exist so any hypothesis on the situation is impossible

Now it would actually be possible however unlikely a gay couple got hold of a machette and a machine gun lol

Agreed, the zombie rabbits were a bit too far (zombie mice, perhaps?) - my point, though, was about the relevance of straw-man arguments..

Sigh!

Wonders when common sense will start to prevail...Move on and find another pub,there are plenty to choose from.

They might have liked the decor ?

Actually it might be to the point if some folk had a go at being a publican/landlord..It's a hard graft of a job with no guarantee of more than a modest profit with extremely long hours just to stay in competition and to stay out of trouble and avoid illegalities (drugs users/dealers) just to keep one's licence..

Not something I personally would take on.

Just spotted this topic and I don't want to read through all the posts so I thought I'd restrict my participation at this point to providing people with the latest news about this subject.

The below link provides the latest, reporting that a petition with more than 1000 signatures has been delivered to the pub.

http://news.pinkpaper.com/NewsStory/...-snow-pub.aspx

So, in the absence of any evidence, the Pink Paper and the organisers of the petition still *choose* to believe that the landlord dislikes gay kissing, rather than kissing in general, in his pub.

Can't say I'm surprised. I wish they'd all get over themselves though.
