SR,

I will see that I will have to use small words to explain as clearly you forgot what you asked and can't understand my reply.

You asked whether OJ could have sued for wrongful arrest, and I said that he might have, however, there were several stark differences in the two cases. I made no judgement whether OJ had actually done the crime.

1 OJ while charged was not convicted. Largely due to the bungling of the police.
2 OJ did no prison time for the crime only because he tried to flee which would have made any claim for damages difficult.
3 There was a mountain of corroborating evidence in 2 dead bodies one of his wife that left him because of repeated violence and her new partner. There was definitely a crime committed in a double murder. In the Pell case whether the crime itself had ever occurred was based solely on one involved witness.

My reply was that OJ probably could have sued for wrongful arrest, but given the corroborating evidence and the difficulty in proving damages it would most likely be fruitless.

Mr 0,

Clearly engineering was above you. But as long as you enjoy flipping burgers I don't care.

Shadow Minister,

Actually I like your term failed engineer for me. In fact I like it so much that I have decided that in future I will be putting 'Failed Engineer' as my occupation whenever I fill in any documents e.g. tax returns, etc.

Mr 0

Something on which we can both agree.

Shadow Minister,

Well at least it's better than writing down 'Just an Engineer' like you have to do.

Mr 0,

For someone that purports to be educated in the arts your assumption that a person is uni dimensional and solely defined by his original degree goes against everything in anthropology, sociology and philosophy which means that you have not learnt a jot from any of your arts degrees which makes you a universal failure.

Perhaps you should describe yourself as a universal failure.

Shadow Minister,

Bon idee!

From now on I shall put down 'Failito' universale del'inginere'. How's that?
