UMRUM,
Don't know whether you saw it or not, but yesterday we had a news story on a bloke suing Tooheys because He hurt his thumb opening a twist top. Thank god sanity prevailed and it was thrown out with costs awarded against him.
I totally agree we are following the Yanks and going sue crazy.
When I think back over my life and all the things that have happened to me I probably could have sued 20 times.

Heres a real good one that happened a few years ago.
A woman of certain ethnic background was in my work premises and fell over.
She was laying on her back screaming she couldn't feel her legs. she said she was paralysed and the noise she was making was unbelievable.
The ambulance arrived and the officer raced in.
He asked the screaming woman the problem and she told him she couldn't feel anything from the waist down.
I swear what happened next is true.
He jabbed the biggest ************ pin I have ever seen into her foot.
She screamed even louder and said "what the f###### hell are you doing that hurt".
I laughed so much I was crying.
She STILL took my insurance co to court,again sanity prevailed,and she lost.

Cheers
