Following the letter of the law rather than the spirit. Well done government.
Yes, there are rules in place for entrepreneurs, if they want to start a business. But 2 young kids, who want to make a bit of pocket change by selling lemonade, you can't look that through the fingers? Were you ever young or were you born ancient and stupid?

Indeed, interesting piece. I do wish that the 'european constitution' was never put in place. My country voted against that constitution in a referendum. And then the EU renamed it, and enacted it still.
And here is an interesting article on the current situation of a comment left by a Guardian reader: http://indy100.independent.co.uk/article/peop...ndy&utm_medium=top5&utm_campaign=i100
But I remain adamant, people voted to leave. Even though it'll probably be political suicide to enact it, they'll have to do it. In other words, they made their bed, now they'll have to lie in it.

The petition is bad form anyway (regardless, whether it was started from the Leave campaign or from the Remain campaign).
I understand the sore feelings of the Remain side, but the majority has voted to Leave the EU. If they didn't want that, they shouldn't have voted for "Leave".
As a Dutch citizen, I'm quite frankly appalled at the complete disregard for the democratic processes on the island. And quite a bit angry too. For years the UK has had a special position within the EU. One of the few members who didn't have to have the Euro, yet it had a lot of power, in some cases even more than other nations who do have to use the Euro. And yet David Cameron started this referendum, as a form of posturing, for what? To gain even more power in the EU? To show the rest of Europe how superior the UK is? Well, didn't that bite him in the arse? He totally underestimated the idiocy of the UK people and the amount of ill-informed 'eurosceptics' (You do vote for EU MEPs (once every 4 years), and the UK has had a lot of say in what rules get enacted within the EU, regardless what the Leave campaigners told you). And now Cameron's stupidity is threatening the future of the EU.
Is the EU the best solution for the future? No, of course not, it could use a lot more transparency and a lot less red tape. It has grown too wieldy, and has tried to grab too much power. But the best way to change that is from within not from without.
But the UK made it clear, the majority wanted to leave the EU, so leave.

But fingerprints and facial scans are more like usernames than passwords. Come on banks, and don't do anything stupid.

Too bad the Baseball World Cup is no more.
Though to be honest, it feels great to still be able to say that we're world number 1 in Baseball. (Netherlands was the champion in 2011, when it was held for the last time)

Add an award for the angriest drunk.
And for the weirdest (most over the top) shenanigans.
And a posthumous award for most hilarious way of going to the eternal whiskeybar in the sky, aka the "hold my beer"-award.Also, there'd better be Snapzu homebrew stuff to drink, could even be brewed behind the radiator, if need be.
