Yeah, some twerp in Worcester got arrested a couple of years back. He claimed it was discrimination because he was a goth, but I think it had more to do with the fact that he was wearing sword, rather than that he was also wearing a cape and makeup! ;D Yeah, looking that gay in public should be a public offense punishable by arrest, or a good punch to the jaw would be just as affective. ;D |

Just stick to plastic swords
My famous sword fight at BOA last year with my mate Charles was epic. I should get it put up on Youtube again. Although he cheated because i lost limbs when i was hit and he didnt.

Totally off-topic I know, but Tath, is your signature a cheeky remark about a certain guy from round here who may wear a daft hat occasionally?

I'm still amazed that LARPG is allowed to go ahead in this country. All it takes is one guy on crack PCP and WHAM, there goes someone's spinal chord.

You know there's a knife law stating you can't have a blade over 2 inches out with you... does that apply to swords? (blunted edge ones) The uk weapon laws are quite slack compared to some countries, but there are still a lot of grey areas. For example you can buy some weaponry at a shop perfectly legally, but you can't carry it home! So carrying an ornamental sword around is probably frowned upon, even Sikh's have to carry small replicas these days. If only we lived a few hundred years ago, where wandering the streets in full armour with a huge sword or mighty axe was common place  |

Sometimes when I'm walking through the Hell that is Selly Oak, listening to Immortal or Dissection or some other fire-and-brimstone stuff, I do wish I could lay waste to the swathes of morons around me. Oh, you were in the Gun Barrels were you? And Darren was there, eh? And you got a pint? That's grounds for me to act as judge, jury and executioner as far as I'm concerned. Waiting at the cashpoint at Tesco Express, you get this pie-slice of a weird section of society that have nothing to say and yet they insist on talking, at loud volumes, while I just want some fucking cash.

That little rant is precisely the reason for these laws...
Have you thought of speaking to a professional about this?
And Wayne, are you referring to "Brokeback" Aaron? He of the day-glo camo trousers?

Ha ha! I agree, Nicks rant is exactly why sword carrying is not a good idea. If guns were legal in this country I'd have shot some cock in a tracksuit and been locked up years ago.
Plastic swords only at this show, I think!
Any sensible suggestions for Birthday activities for the night will be entertained, btw, but I don't want to do too much this year and take away from the bands.

Pove gets his law hat on....
Part of the Criminal Justice Act 1998 (Offensive Weapons) Order 1988 stated. In simple terms Ownership of one, even in your own home, is a criminal offense. However, antique swords, which are 100 years old or older, are legal.
3 Inches is the maximum in the UK hence why Sikh's are allowed to carry Karpins around but only under the circumstances that the other five laws are abode by ie Turbun,clothing and 2 other things
I would like to thank the West Midland Police for there 2 years of criminal law training for that one....
Oh yeah please only bring plastic things to Reanimator.

Does that mean that a kitchen knife that is longer than 3 inches is technically illegal?
