first high resolution images from Pluto raise some concerns.....

The news.

 

Or rather, what passes for news on some outlets.

 

Granted it was Radio 1

you have only yourself to blame

I imagine it's similar to BBC 3 where the news bulletin is delivered by somebody suitably young and non threatening that delivers 'news' in under a minute with bumping music and graphics in the background. The news has to consist of one serious item 'it was the election today, some young people did vote, ayyyye' and one celebrity gossip item 'rhianna got out of a car last week and some paps got a grainy peep of clunge, she says she has a new single up the pipeline'.

....and now a Family Guy triple bill...

 

Carrying on with the theme here.

 

If you played every premier league game up front for say Man City/Utd/Arsenal, any top team. How many goals do you think you would score over a season?

 

Age and actual football ability would probably make some difference here, so for anyone who is past their best lets use your prime footballing days for this case.

 

Hmm Shearer got 260 premier league goals and I don't think I'd quite get that many. Probably 258, 259, something like that.

 

but if you just got 258 and did it without being a boring sulky selfish cheat at least you'd have the moral high ground and a better claim for being a tv pundit

I suspect it was a dead tooth, because I have literally lost half of it. It's quite jagged, but 6 or 7 hours of food, hot drinks and general chatter and it feels fine.

But yeah, phoning the dentist in the morning.

I have remembered to keep all the receipts for every meal I've eaten since Sunday lunchtime (so I get the money back).

I had shiny, sticky, black liquorice toffee for the first time in years today, and it was good.

I have lost half a tooth (yes connected to the above purchase), but there is absolutely no pain.

At certain angles I could now be mistaken for Shane Macgowan.

A good day.

I would never edit my posts. I respect you all too much.

it ain't life or death

uncomfortable and embarrassing for a short while maybe, but it'll just be a funny story eventually

I phoned in sick once with food poisoning. I was in charge of the office diary, somebody checked it to see what was on that day and I'd been thick enough to fill in the day before with - Chris on the lash so sick as a dog tomorrow. We live and learn.

I've learnt to have three different twitter accounts and a random gmail. It won't beat MI5, but it's good enough.

you're on the list...

two phones?

one for work, one for porn

piss off

Getting to change 'their' to 'there' before Rob, Mooney or Tony see it.

Ha! 

If you were thrown into a game of Premier League football, and you had the goal of seeing how long you could go before people found out you were quite obviously not good enough to be playing at that level, what position would you choose to play?

I once played against a non-league team. Their forward was bursting forward with the ball towards our penalty box. I thought it would be funny to step across him and wipe out his run and concede the free kick for the cynical block, for the lolz.

He ran over me like I wasn't there, I genuinely thought I'd broken ribs.

So not a defender. I'll go for the D Bent style striker thanks.

Second explosive shite in as many days ........

is there no end to what ISIS are capable of?

 

The Iran deal has provoked some interesting reactions, most worryingly from Israel who don't accept the deal and have said that they "will always defend themselves" I wonder if they'd have the nerve to "defend themselves" all over Iran even without the blessing of the US?

I doubt it, they know Obama wouldn't ride to the rescue. However the deal still has to be approved by the US Congress, that is where they'll focus their efforts now.

 

they changed the rules at Congress for this one apparently, congress has to 'not reject' the deal, sounds like arguing over wording, but it's a presumed approval unless two thirds reject it

loveliness from the madman upsetter

 

the nice thing for both sides now, it doesn't even matter if it's true or not

You're right it doesn't matter, IS have proudly ensured their atrocities are well documented in HD, it's not like trying to cobble together a dodgy dossier to provide a moral pretext for intervention.

The people who should have acted many months ago continue to sit on their hands. IS blowing up babies for fun? So what, they don't give a shit.

 

yep agreed

for the first time on the radio today they were discussing a bit more in depth about what we can actually 'do'

Cameron has apparently suggested more drones and more SAS as our most cost effective way of nibbling at ISIS, But also then added the caveat that the UK can't do much until Labour get their shit together and have a leader and a direction to sign off on a change of strategy to attack within Syria.

One of the contributors basically said (and I'm obviously paraphrasing from a radio conversation so, you know, don't ask for sources or references) that before the military do anything they need to sit the politicians down and get them to describe exactly what we want the end result to be. Do we want a whole Syria retained? Do we want to continue attempting democracy at arm's length, do we want a Kudish territory, do we want Iran having a legitimate role, do we want the Suadis to carry on business as usual, do we want Turkey to be happy with any new lines on the map.

It's a bit bigger than just shooting the baby killers from a drone, witnessed in black and white video stream from above and declaring we've won.

the nice thing for both sides now, it doesn't even matter if it's true or not

yesterday's Vulcan fly over

quite a loud aircraft!

yes, well played sir

I don't think I even need to explain how she gets the money for her aerosol squirty cheese addiction. She's trying to get back on the meth to give herself a chance.

So the wicket wasn't that big a deal, the players dealt with it fine, it was the 16,300 capacity?

George Dobell is quite scathing of the Cardiff wicket. Thinks there should never be a test match played in Cardiff again. 

aye, england go 1:0 up in an ashes series against expectations, scored over 700 and got australia all out twice in under 4 days play

it's nice to have something to whinge about though

always have an anonymous account for shit flinging
