Ban Health and Safety

Saturday is my main day of rest.. and drinking. During this time I tend to think of more things to write about than almost any other time in the week.
Today, whats really pissing me off is good old, health and safety.

I'm serious when I say that this ludicrous concept, which I hate only marginally less than political correctness, messes with nature. We've gone thousands of years without its meddling and done just fine as this photo shows.

Now, its sounds pretty strong to say it messes with nature, but it does. Natural selection and evolution, despite what some idiotic christians in the bible belt say, are not only true concepts, but vital to the survival of the species. Sometimes, poorly adapted creatures die. They just do.


The world is cruel place but the hard fact is, if I fell down the stairs while carrying a vat of boiling acid, on a unicycle, listening to an mp3 player and later died. Frankly I deserved it.

It is now acceptable to sue somebody else, in an already busy court of law, for your own idiocy and incompetence. Take the latest advert from the intelligently named "Injurylawyers4u" - talk about targeted marketing.


In this advert, a man is shown drilling into a wall from atop a ladder he already stated was "unsuitable", he later falls and dislocates his shoulder. Doesnt seem to knock any damn sense into him though as he later takes his employer to court for failing to provide a correct ladder.

Now that sounds fair enough, until you consider the following;

1) No-one held a gun to his head to make him scale this ladder

2) he was perfectly within his rights to refuse to perform the task and the law would have backed him up.


Its amazing the kind of stupidity the promise of a few grand produces. however, the market is clearly very lucrative so i thought I'd get in on the act.


Hardcore Law Claims inc. - "Fall over while not watching what you were doing? Trespassing illegally on a rickety roof? hurt? Fucking Fantastic!"


Here at Hardcore claims, we always say - It's a shame you didn't die, because you clearly don't deserve to breed!
