I remember my wedding day well, as we walked out as man and wife , as people began to throw confetti some bright spark through the box as well and it hit me right in the eye, so my wedding photos consist of me clutching my eye in distress> I happen to come across some other family wedding photos as well and on most of them they bride and groom look feared to death, so how long do you think before they ban it on the grounds of elf and safety ?

surely you can't ban EVERYTHING on the grounds that some one/thing MAY get injured? thats life, innit?

remember that life usually begins with a sexual experience.......


Hmmm! unless "life" was the result of a murder?

when my nephew was married my three year old was stood happily watching everyone throw confetti after a while he must have wanted to join in because he bent down picked up a nice handful of gravel off the drive and flung it at the bride

Life is getting silly Bob ....... I agree .......children need a degree of risk to recognise where the danger lies - in my opinion.

It is now aparently Government policy to allow children to experience risk by climbing trees???
