    Glad to see our courts have their priorities in order, as usual.

    In Germany the two "Beuys files" are well known, both pieces of art (?) however accidentally destroyed by cleaning staff. One was a dirty bath tub, the other the famous "fat corner", simply 2 lb. of butter smeared in the ceiling corner of a room.
    For the bath tub in court was decided that the artist should receive 40000 DM compensation for the damage (the money needed to restore a dirty baby bath tub made from plastic and put some sticky tape in it was probably in the range of 30 DM. In the second case the Academy of Arts in Duesseldorf as owner of the fatty room also got 40000 DM compensation, the fat was removed some months after the artist had died. Probably the most expensive kilo of butter ever...

    Funny you should mention fines...

    Bendtner fined £100k for advertising on his boxer shorts...

    Serbia fined £80k for racism...

    Go figure...

    Sounds like the upscale of German parking fines:
    - Expiring the parking ticket time: 15 Euro
    - Buying no parking ticket at all: 5 Euro (and the money for the ticket saved)

    The fines must be income-weighted. Bendtner, being a professional footballer, has a very high income. Serbia, because it is a warmongering nationalist state of losers, with whom nobody wants to do business, probably has a GDP lower than Wales.
