It's ok as the subjunctive is possibly an irrealis

Yep.

Philly8mt

There would be compulsory blood and organ donation (things they can do without) for criminals and the very long term (proven work shy) unemployed.

Philly8mt

Predictably ....Ban religion!

gethinceri

I would reintroduce the birch as a form of punishment.

I've just gone back and listened to the album in its entirety and I must respectfully inform you that you are totally, categorically, absolutely, completely, utterly, comprehensively, wholly and conclusively wrong.

The fretless bass is integral to the sound of the album.

rick_chasey

Ban HGVs from Zone 1&2, 7-9:30am, and 4:30-8:30pm.

finchy

I'd have the joyless twunts who live opposite me shot.

pinno

I'd have the joyless twunts who live next to me shot.

ballysmate

I'd make it compulsory for wives to don a jumper before they reached for the heating thermostat.

vimfuego

...something must have gone very, very wrong

pblakeney

I'd get rid of all dictators.

seanoconn

I would massage the head of dead pigs with my manhood.

Pinno's guide to T47 academia:

Pronunciation
Hyphenation: ir‧real‧is

Adjective
irrealis ‎(not comparable)

(grammar) Of a verb: inflected to indicate that an act or state of being is not a fact.
Although the only irrealis mood in English is the subjunctive mood, some other languages include additional irrealis moods, including cohortative, jussive, speculative, and optative.

Clear as mud now.

I'd make sure that someone taught 007 how to play chess properly.

pinno

I know a few openings but if I was King, i'd kick N Short where it hurts.

finchy

^^^ You could be the Kim Jong Un of British chess. "I very good at chess. Let me win or I kill you then I number 1".

pinno

I don't care anymore. Some higher being has answered my prayers. The neighbours are shipping in cardboard boxes and the 'For Sale' sign has gone.
