Post mortems are being performed on the two wrestlers, one of whom went by the name ?La Parkita? - or ?Little Death? - and wore a skeleton costume in the ring. The other was known as ?Espectrito Jr.?
Authorities say two women were seen leaving the men?s hotel room in Mexico City before the bodies were discovered.
Prosecutor Miguel Angel Mancera said that gangs of female robbers in the area are experienced at using drugs to knock men out and rob them, but they may have used too strong a dose.
They said the wrestlers may have succumbed to the drugs more readily because of their small stature, although larger men have also died in similar crimes.
Previously, Mexican police have arrested prostitutes who poisoned "clients" to steal their money.

Naked Friday was the brainchild of business psychologist, David Taylor. He convinced the folks at design and marketing onebestway that stripping off their pants would also strip away walls blocking good communication. Nearly everyone went the full monty at the office, with only one man and two women choosing to wear underwear. Sam Jackson, 23, the house manager, was the only woman to go fully naked. She said, "It was brilliant. Now that we've seen each other naked, there are no barriers."

Dead pigeon forces road closure
Firefighters shut a section of road after a pigeon crashed into a top-floor window. Office workers feared that cracked glass would fall onto passers-by after the bird hit the Land Registry building in Peterborough, Cambs.
The bird died in the incident and firefighters had to cordon off part of the street before removing the damaged pane.
"The outside panel of the window had cracked and the glass was hanging precariously from the frame," said a fire service spokesman." Those inside the building were concerned that the glass would fall, injuring pedestrians below."
Firefighters used cones to close a section of the road, travelled up the side of the building on the turntable ladder and removed the glass."

Hundreds of aggressive jumbo flying squid have appeared off the coast of Egypt, attacking divers and washing up dead on beaches.
The 5-foot long sea monsters, which have razor-sharp beaks and toothy tentacles, have been bringing terror to scuba drivers and swimmers on the coast's tourist-packed beaches.
The carnivorous calamari, which can grow up to 100 pounds, came up from the depths last week and swarms of them have pounced on unsuspecting divers.

Woman to marry fairground ride
A 33-year-old church organist from Pennsylvania is planning to marry a magic carpet fairground ride.
Amy Wolfe claims to have objectum sexuality, a condition that makes sufferers attracted to inanimate objects.
She has been 'courting' the attraction, an 80ft gondola ride called 1001 Nachts, for a decade. According to the Daily Telegraph, Wolfe travels 160 miles to visit the attraction up to 10 times every year. It is estimated she has taken approximately 3,000 rides since first visiting the theme park at the age of 13.
"I love him as much as women love their husbands and know we'll be together forever," she said. "I was instantly attracted to him sexually and mentally.
"I wasn't freaked out, as it just felt so natural, but I didn't tell anyone about it because I knew it wasn't 'normal' to have feelings for a fairground ride."

Felice Tocchini has created a biscuit which he claims can survive up to a minute in a hot drink before disintegrating into a sodden mess. This smashes the current record of 25.5 seconds for a chocolate digestive.
Crunch time: Felice Tocchini believes his dunking biscuit will last for a minute before disintegrating. He spent three weeks testing hundreds of different ingredients to create his chocolate and vanilla-flavoured masterpiece. The recipe is a closely-guarded secret, but he revealed that the key was layering flour and oat-based doughs to build strength, before coating it all in an 'impermeable' egg-based glaze before baking.
One of the more outlandish ingredients is tiny slivers of sweet potato, which keep it together without spoiling the taste.

Weight Watchers clinic floor collapses under dieters
The floor of a Weight Watchers clinic in Sweden collapsed beneath a group of 20 members of the weight loss programme who were gathered for a meeting.
As the dieters queued to see how many pounds they had shed, the floor beneath them in the clinic in V?xj?, in south-central Sweden, began to rumble "We suddenly heard a huge thud; we almost thought it was an earthquake and everything flew up in the air.
Soon, the fault lines spread around the room, and other sections of the floor gave way.
Luckily, all of the dieters escaped uninjured and managed to move the scales to the corridor, which was not damaged in the accident, and were able to complete their weekly weigh in.
The cause of the floor's collapse remains under investigation.

Jogger dies as plane crash lands on him
A man was killed in a freak accident when a plane crashed on top of him as he jogged along a beach.
Robert Jones, 38, was struck from behind by pilot Edward Smith after he got into difficulties at 3,000ft and oil began spraying on to his windscreen.
The propeller then fell off and the single-engined plane began falling from the sky.
Aiming the craft at the nearby beach, Mr Smith had no vision ahead of him and the runner was unable to hear the plane because its engine had stalled and he was listening to his iPod.

One chef claimed he had his trousers set on fire with a blow torch and had red-hot pans pressed on his arms. He also says he was stung on the back of his neck with nettles while making a nettle risotto and was beaten with a rolling pin.
He alleges he saw another chef being punished by being held aloft by his legs and having his head dunked in a vat of lukewarm broccoli and Stilton soup which was later served to guests at the Star Inn at Harome, North Yorkshire.

Even out of office it seems Gordon Brown just cant seem to get his act together at a social level. He and Sarah were said to have been happy and smiley at their first public outing to a former aides wedding a few weeks ago. And, indeed, there was the picture to prove it, with one wedding guest commenting: The stress of being PM seems to have vanished. Not, however, the stress of the bride, defeated Labour candidate for Sherwood Emilie Oldknow, and her groom Jonathan Ashworth, former deputy political secretary at Number 10. What the smiley pictures didnt reveal was that guest-of-honour Gordon was two hours late for the Derbyshire ceremony. Instead of proceeding without him, the entire proceedings were put on hold until the tardy Browns had finished faffing around at their hotel. Other weddings were backed up in the queue and guests arriving for the evening event at plush Breadsall Priory country estate found that the wedding banquet had still not finished. The coup de grace came when the Browns decided to leave early.

In a move that has shaken Toytown to its building block foundations, Noddy has taken the unprecedented step of releasing a statement in an attempt to quell ongoing rumours about the true nature of his relationship with Big Ears.
For many years now, our friendship has been the subject of untrue and malicious gossip, said the small wooden boy, who strenuously denies allowing Big Ears to play with his bell in return for favours. I realise in hindsight that us sharing a bed may have given rise to this speculation. And my comments about us having a gay old time in the woods have been taken entirely out of context.
Despite his innocence, Noddy has unceremoniously sacked Big Ears as his best friend and banished him to the spare room, a move that has not come a moment too soon for irritated neighbours.

World governments admitted they were baffled last night after the New Zealand government issued a fully incomprehensible message about an urthquike.
We just dont know what they are on about, said Foreign Secretary William Hague. Theres something in there about unternetional ide, but were not sure if thats some kind of soft drink or maybe a chemical or something.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ordered State Department translators to work round-the-clock on deciphering the garbled message. Our best guess is that their second city, which we understand is called Chroistchairch, has suffered an infestation of rodents called eftershucks, so were sending fifty tons of mousetraps to see if thats what theyre after.
Julia Gillard, the newly-reelected prime minister of New Zealands English-speaking neighbour Australia, welcomed the US response. She said it was terliddle terlate yabladdy drongos, Mrs Clinton said. My translators tell me that means God bless America.

Prime minister David Cameron has announced a crackdown on people who are treating the benefits system like their own private parliamentary expenses account.
Cameron told reporters that benefit cheats making MP-style fraudulent claims, for sums to which they are definitely not entitled, was costing the tax payer £5.2bn a year.
Writing in the Manchester Evening News, the prime minister said that tougher penalties and prosecutions would be introduced to deter people from copying everything their MPs had been doing for years.
We want to encourage people to shop anyone they find behaving like their MP, he explained.
If youre out at work all day and you get home and find that your neighbour, who is unemployed, is having a leaking pipe replaced on his tennis court, or is having a 5ft duck house installed into his pond then you have every right to be suspicious. After all, youre almost certainly paying for that.
Benefit cheats
Multi-millionaire Cameron, who claimed £80,000 in additional costs for his second home in Oxfordshire between 2004 and 2008, has pledged to strain every sinew to cut error, waste and fraud in our welfare system.
Cameron has significant insight into the methods used by those seeking to take advantage of a poorly administered system which gives out seemingly free money.

Goverment considers pretending to upgrade Trident
The Government has been considering the possible cost savings in just pretending to upgrade the Trident ballistic missile system rather than replacing it.
According to a statement from the MOD released this week, a significant percentage of the £20 billion cost of replacing the current Trident submarines could be saved if the current submarines are repainted in some smart modern satiny black paint, and given new names, or announcing that the government has purchased several new stealthy missile submarines, which are too stealthy to be seen, or simply just telling the Russians that we have upgraded our deterrent and hoping they believe us.
Photos of the new submarine fleet will be released just as soon as government ministers have mastered Photoshop.

Most Apple Mac users keep a cheap and nasty Windows PC on the side for the use of internet pornography, according to a piece of research from Onan-online magazine.
The magazine polled 450 men and found that 85% of Mac owners refused to sully their beloved luxury product with sleazy material. It doesnt feel right using my Mac for you-know-what, said Rob Jones, a graphic designer from Stoke Newington. Thats the keyboard Im writing my novel on.
Ricardo DeSousa, editor of Onan-Online explains: Having a Mac is like having a really hot model for a girlfriend. Shes expensive and picky but she looks great sat on your table in a coffee bar. A PC maybe a bit embarrassing, but shes cheap, good to go and she let you plug in two mice at the same time if thats your thing.
The survey also found that a lot of men had problems gaining an erection in-front of their Macs. Therefore a lot of guys get a PC on the side, but keep them hidden away in draws or under the bed. They dont take them out, dont show them off to friends, they just drag them out when theyre horny. Its sad but these PCs are normally happy for whatever they can get, explained DeSousa...

Ricardo DeSousa, editor of Onan-Online explains: Having a Mac is like having a really hot model for a girlfriend. Shes expensive and picky but she looks great sat on your table in a coffee bar. A PC maybe a bit embarrassing, but shes cheap, good to go and she let you plug in two mice at the same time if thats your thing.
The survey also found that a lot of men had problems gaining an erection in-front of their Macs. Therefore a lot of guys get a PC on the side, but keep them hidden away in draws or under the bed. They dont take them out, dont show them off to friends, they just drag them out when theyre horny. Its sad but these PCs are normally happy for whatever they can get, explained DeSousa...

Health and not so safety
Quote
Injury lawyers have helped settle a personal injury claim, for a woman who was left suffering from life-long damages to her leg after a fall as a result of an uncovered drain.
The woman from Capenhurst, Cheshire, had attended a safety awareness event, which had been set up by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) where she was walking with a "tightly packed" group of people when she accidently fell into an open drain.
As a result, the mother of two sustained injuries to her metatarsal tendons and her achilles in her right leg and must wear an ankle brace 24 hours a day. She is also on painkillers as a result of her injuries.
She said: "It's painful but I have still got to get on with my job. My animals still need looking after so you just get on with it. I will never be able to play tennis again. It's only a little thing but my kids are both good tennis players and I can't play with them."
Injury lawyers helped settled the woman's compensation claim for £25,000 for the woman's injuries. The HSE however, denied liability but agreed to settle the claim out of court

The British owner of the firm that makes the Segway scooter died after riding one of the futuristic two-wheeled machines over a cliff and into a river, police said Monday.
The body of millionaire Jimi Heselden, 62, was discovered in the River Wharfe near his home in the town of Boston Spa in northern England on Sunday, said a spokeswoman for West Yorkshire Police.
"A Segway-style vehicle was recovered from the scene," adding that police were called to the scene after reports of a man "apparently having fallen from the cliffs above".

Danone announce discovery of Digestifus Flirtius, Bifidus Jocularis; others
In a development sure to send shockwaves through both the scientific and probiotic communities, research scientists from Danone, makers of Activia yoghurt and Actimel drink, today announced the discovery of several new types of bacteria that were neither friendly nor unfriendly, but often completely indifferent.
Everything we thought we knew about bacteria was wrong, announced Dr Stefan Pastiche, head of bacteria science at Danones R&D facility at Palaiseau, near Paris. Tomorrow, we must all begin the task of rewriting the bacteria text-books.
Until now, scholars have thought that bacteria were either friendly like the ones in Yakult or unfriendly like the germs on your chopping-board or toilet seat, but if the results of Danones five-year research project are verified, that was an oversimplification at best, and at worst, just plain wrong.
Danones research reveals that what we thought were simply friendly bacteria, are in fact divided into flirtatious bacteria, witty bacteria and good-listener bacteria, whereas unfriendly bacteria are divided into surly bacteria, snide bacteria and fuck-your-wife-while-youre-out-then-shit-in-your-bed bacteria.
Umm not sure that is allowed under the current terms and conditions. Abstinence is the way to go allegedly. noooo:

This weekend's Daily Misogynist Daily Mail, carried an article about a London doctor who is diagnosing some of his patients with computer face.' This is an affliction that only impacts women (apparently) and the theory goes something like this: When you stare at the computer screen for long periods of time, you tend to frown, which causes lines and crow's feet as you squint to read whatever is on the screen. In addition, because you look down at the computer screen, it puts your head at an angle that shortens your neck muscles, resulting in those really attractive jowls, also known as turkey neck.' The doctor recommends that you keep a mirror next to your computer so that you can see the face that you make when you are reading, surfing and typing. Well, I did it and I definitely have a severe case of computer face.' Either that or I just look angry all the time. Strangely enough, my computer face' became even more pronounced when I realized that the good doctor's cure for the condition is Botox - which coincidentally can be injected into your face at his expensive clinic. Perhaps if there were less people preying on women's fears and insecurities about their appearance in order to sell them stuff, there wouldn't be a need to cure, or even diagnose computer face.'

Prisoner hunt ends - five days after he gave himself up
Quote
Police halted a search for a prolific distraction burglar who absconded from a Kent prison after it emerged that he had already handed himself in.
Mark Rhodes, 26, of no fixed abode, was last seen at HMP Standford Hill, in Sheerness, on 18 September.
He was serving a five year sentence for fraud and distraction burglary.
Kent Police appealed for information about his whereabouts on Thursday, five days after he gave himself up to officers in Norwich.
At Thetford Magistrates' Court on Monday, Rhodes was sentenced to eight weeks in prison for being unlawfully at large.
The sentence is to run consecutively with his five year term
A spokesman for Kent Police said: "We have now been advised by Gloucestershire Police that Mark Rhodes actually handed himself in on September 25. Crimewatch appeal
"We apologise for any inconvenience caused by our issuing the earlier wanted appeal which we only received from Gloucestershire Police yesterday and from Acpo [Association of Chief Police Officers] press office this morning."
Rhodes was originally arrested in Ipswich in May 2009 after his picture appeared on the BBC's Crimewatch programme.
The offences took place in 18 police force areas, and were mainly committed over a four month period during 2009.
The force areas where the offences took place are Avon and Somerset, Cambridgeshire, Devon and Cornwall, Dorset, Derbyshire, Humberside, Gloucestershire, Lancashire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, North Yorkshire, Northumbria, Staffordshire, Suffolk, Cheshire, Thames Valley and West Mercia.

Organisers decided to pull the plug on the competitive element of the event within hours of the electricity supply finally being connected, citing concerns that firstly the competitors accommodation at the Games Village may not stay standing for more than a few more days, and secondly because theres only so long you can go before a trained monkey security guard cracks and goes for a recuperating athlete eating a banana.....

Quote
Environmental campaigners 10:10 have withdrawn a film showing a teacher graphically exploding two of her students who refuse to reduce their carbon emissions, after complaints.
In a statement, the group apologised to anyone offended.
The film aimed to "bring this critical issue back into the headlines whilst making people laugh", the group said.
Starring Gillian Anderson it was scripted by Richard Curtis, whose films include Four Weddings and a Funeral.
It was directed by a leading commercials director.
In the film, which was subsequently posted to Youtube and which contains disturbing images, a teacher invites her class to take part in the environmental campaign. Two children, who do not want to, are asked why.
The teacher tells them: "Fine, it's absolutely fine. It's your own choice."
But moments later she presses a button and the children explode into a mess.
Similar scenes are played out in an office where four workers are blown up and a football training session where footballer David Ginola, who also says he does not want to do his bit to combat climate change, disappears in an explosion.
In the final scene, Gillian Anderson, who provides the voice- over is similarly dispatched after saying she thought doing the voice over was enough of a contribution to the campaign.
'This is dreadful'
Comments left on the Guardian website where the film was posted before being taken down on the 10:10 site, were split between those congratulating the team and others who thought it was in bad taste.
"I think this is dreadful," said one comment.
"To suggest that people who disagree with you deserve to die is incredibly stupid. Imagine if some Christian group in the US did that to gays, Muslims, or anyone else they disagree with. The outrage would be palpable. And deserved.
"It's like a parody of something that people mocking enviros would do."
Lizze Gillett, Global Campaign Director for 10:10, told the BBC: "As you can see from various comments and social media sites some people thought it was funny and a good tool to get people talking about climate change but others strongly disliked the mini-movie. We decided to take it off our website to avoid upsetting people. "
In the official campaign statement, the group said: "At 10:10 we're all about trying new and creative ways of getting people to take action on climate change. Unfortunately in this instance we missed the mark. Oh well, we live and learn."
However, 10:10 said they would not make any attempt "to censor or remove other versions currently in circulation on the internet."
And here is the film, it's certainly not for the squeamish

Tories to train the homeless to improve their begging skills
The Conservative Party showed its compassionate side yesterday when Iain Duncan Smith announced a series of training initiatives aimed at helping the homeless by improving their begging techniques.
Seen as central to the idea of the Tories Big Society, in which every citizen takes responsibility for his or herself and their community, Duncan Smith told a packed conference hall, We need to do more to help these people help themselves. I am ashamed of the state that our country has allowed these people to get into. Their general level of skills is deplorable. Can no-one play an instrument, sing a song or do a funny little dance any more?
The proposal would see a nationwide programme of lessons in music, dance and marketing for the homeless, carefully designed to increase their earning potential. At the very least we should be teaching them better Big Issue selling techniques than just shouting Big Issue! he added.

I note also that the same squirrels stand accused of chewing through telephone cables in the report in today's Telegraph (Page 5).
Mind you the matter has been investigated by Wiltshire Police and it was their predecessors that fell for the old Moon-rakers story.

For clarification, the brake pipes nibbled at by squirrel's would be the front brakes, which are all hydraulic. The handbrake does indeed use cables, but purely to actuate the hydraulic slave cylinder in the rear wheel hub.
Main braking via cables is simply not allowed today. For very good reasons. Cables rust, stick and break. Hydraulics don't go wrong (although their performance deteriorates if not regularly changed) and are thus as close to a "fail safe" system as is possible in mass production. The shame is that manufacturers could easily put braided hoses on their brake pipes but choose not to, to probably save about £50 per car. Shameful.

Anti-poverty campaigner Bob Geldof has today hailed as historic an agreement that will see billions of dollars of debt owed by the worlds richest countries wiped out.
This is fantastic news Geldof told reporters, but its been a long time coming. Do you have any idea how crippling these debts are to countries like the UK? The British government has to pay a staggering £120 million a day in interest charges. Thats £120 million a day that could be spent on building schools and nuclear powers stations, or on funding wars in the Middle East, or on a really hard-hitting TV and poster campaign to get quite tubby people out jogging. We have to wipe out these debts NOW or the civil servants of Britain are going to suffer.

I do so hope that this is true.
Outside Bristol Zoo there is a parking lot for 150 cars and 8 buses. For 25 years, it's parking fees were managed by a very pleasant attendant. The fees were for cars (£1.40), for buses (about £7). Then, one day, after 25 solid years of never missing a day off work, he just didn't show up for work The Zoo Management called the City Council and asked it to send them another parking agent. The Council did some research and replied that the parking lot was the Zoo's own responsibility. The Zoo advised the Council that the attendant was a City employee. The City Council responded that the lot attendant had never been on the City payroll.
Meanwhile, sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain or France or Italy ... is a man who'd apparently had a ticket machine installed completely on his own, and then, had simply begun to show up every day, to collect and keep the parking fees, estimated at about £560 per day -- for 25 years. Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over 7 million pounds ... and no one even knows his name.

Irish police investigate wallaby party death claim
Irish police are investigating claims that a wallaby died after being plied with alcohol at a birthday party in Dublin last weekend.
The marsupial was let loose among more than 150 revellers dancing to the theme tune of the Australian television show Skippy the Bush Kangaroo at the Clarion hotel, in Liffey Valley, it was claimed.
Complaints from animal welfare campaigners have sparked an official garda investigation.
Alexander Scholl, the owner of Australian Super Circus Sydney, situated 500 metres from the hotel, told detectives that he had two wallabies Skippy and Sydney but denied that either had been involved in the alleged incident.
"They think it was one of my wallabies, but it definitely was not," he said. "I would never lend them out to a nightclub with all the noisy music.
"Someone told them the wallaby was dead. I said if it is dead then it is not one of my wallabies. I showed them Skippy and Sydney."

Actually Bangor was shite admits lead singer
Cathy Lesurf, lead singer of English folk band Fiddlers Dram has admitted that on the day they went to Bangor back in the summer of 1979, it was in fact overcast and the day was largely ruined by a constant drizzle and hostile locals.
Cathy, who has failed to have another hit since reaching No. 3 in 1979 remembers the day vivdly; Didnt we have a lovely time the day we went to Bangor did we bollocks fumed Lesurf, when pressed on the matter; it was an absolute fucking nightmare I can tell you. Have you ever tried walking round Bangor town centre in a kaftan and a pair of open-toed sandals in the pouring rain? Nightmare. It was chucking it down when we arrived and it just went from bad to worse as soon as we got out of the van.
A man who wishes to end it all in the manner of a suicide bomber is appealing against the refusal of the National Health Service to help him kill himself and everyone around him. All I want to do is blow myself up, said Colin Jessop, but my doctor refuses to help me. He only has to pull the cord on my rucksack. But Oh no, its medical ethics this and Hippocratic Oath that. Its political correctness gone mad.
The controvery has sparked a wider debate about the issue of assisted suicide bombing. This is all about one mans right to have the help he needs to blow himself to bits, said Director of Liberty, Shami Chakrabarti, to stand in his way would not only be an infringement of his civil liberties; it would also be a bit stupid. MR Jessop insists that all he is asking for is personal dignity; and the right to fire my limbs off in all directions while my head shoots into the sky. I just want to go out with a bang...
...Fortunately a solution has been found to Mr Jessops search for somebody who is less worried about morals and ethics and just enjoys blowing things up. Mr Jessop will be detonated on the Top Gear Christmas special along with some caravans and unfashionable cars. Jeremy Clarkson said the death of Mr Jessop promises to be hilarious.

7/7 inquests: Aldgate manager 'didn't want to cause panic by mentioning bomb'
Quote from: The Torygraph
A station manager at Aldgate on July 7 did not tell her control room that there may have been a bomb in case it caused panic, the inquest has heard.
Celia Harrison said the whole station shook with the force of the explosion and they lost power when the bomb went off at Aldgate.
Mrs Harrison spoke to the control centre three times, on the last occasion asking for ambulances, but did not ring a fourth time despite recording in her notes that people were dying.
She said she did not want to cause panic in the network control centre, adding: When theres a fire you dont run around shouting fire. I tried to give as much specific information as I could rather than speculating in a panic reaction.

British government investigates 300 mystery baby deaths on Cyprus
Quote from: The Torygraph
The British Government is finally carrying out an investigation into the mystery deaths of around 300 babies born to military families in Cyprus in the 1960s, amid suspicions of a high-level cover-up.
The deaths of so many infants have never been adequately explained, with speculation that they may have been caused by poor hospital hygiene or an outbreak of typhoid, polo, cholera or meningitis.
Some former servicemen believe the blame lies with the cocktail of inoculations they were given prior to being stationed in Cyprus, or that the deaths were linked to exposure to radioactive military material.

COUPLE CALLED 'SWINES' AND 'INFIDELS' IN MALDIVES WEDDING
A COUPLE who spent a fortune renewing their wedding vows in the Maldives were called 'swines' and 'infidels' by the staff member conducting their wedding ceremony.
"You are a swine" and "the children that you bear from this marriage will all be bastard swines" are just some of the comments made during the 'traditional' Maldivian ceremony.
Conducted at the Vilu Reef Beach and Spa Resort, the wedding ceremony - carried out in Arabic - leaves the western couple clueless while the 'celebrant' leading their vows announces: "Your marriage is not a valid one. You are not the kind of people who can have a valid marriage.
"One of you is an infidel. The other, too, is an infidel and we have reason to believe an atheist, who does not even believe in an infidel religion.
You fornicate and make a lot of children. You drink and you eat pork. Most of the children that you have are marked with spots and blemishes these children that you have are bastards, he continues solemnly.
Manager Mohamed Rasheed told the AFP news agency: "The man had used filthy language. Otherwise the ceremony was OK."

God must be a woman she keeps changing her mind....
THE Pope has revealed that he now believes it is acceptable for condoms to be used by male prostitutes. His comments are in stark contrast to the Catholic Church's previous hardline stance against all forms of birth control. But in a new book, published next week, Pope Benedict sanctions the use of condoms to prevent disease, such as HIV and Aids - but not to stop unwanted pregnancies. He said: "There may be justified cases, for example when a male prostitute uses a condom, where this can be a first bit of responsibility. "But it's not the proper way to deal with the horror of the HIV infection." Last year the Pope caused fury on a visit to Cameroon when he said the use of condoms could endanger public health and increase the problem of HIV and Aids. He said the disease was a tragedy "that cannot be overcome through the distribution of condoms, which even aggravates the problem".

Gang members snort ashes they mistook for drugs (http://uk.news.yahoo.com/38/20110120/tod-gang-snorts-ashes-they-mistook-for-d-045b8e8.html)
Quote
Five teenage burglars snorted human and animal ashes after mistaking them for Class A drugs, it has been revealed.
After a burglary, which took place at a woman's home in Silver Spring Shores, Florida, thieves made off with electronics, jewelry and two urns - one filled with the cremated remains of the victim's father and two for her Great Danes.
Police discovered what happened to the stolen ashes after the suspects were arrested last week in connection with another attempted burglary.
In a statement, deputies from Marion County Sheriff's Office said: "The suspects mistook the ashes for either cocaine or heroin. It was soon discovered that the suspects snorted some of the ashes believing they were snorting cocaine."
What is even worse is that he was quite right. Someone HAS just come round the back.
I put some 'stuff' on our local FreeCycle site and someone was due to collect an item after 10.30 this morning. I stated to my neighbour that I didn't want to go out into the garden as I might miss them, hence his comment.
I was in the kitchen making coffee when there was a knock on the back door sure enough matey had come round the back to collect his microwave. noooo:

Honestly I used to refer to my first marriage as a "Mixed Marriage". It often felt like I was involved with another culture altogether. It wasn't just the language she used that was alien to me but so was every social concept I had been raised to obey. My ex could never understand why I would never simply walk into my Parent's house. Rather I would knock and wait. SWUTHTBO was baffled by this. "Mak's thee a stranger in thee ow-en ho-em". noooo: "No dear, it is simply that it is no longer my home, it is their home and we are visiting them so it is polite to knock and wait to be invited in".

Scared of the dark? Police chief bans officers from going into playground at night 'because it's too dangerous' (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1351089/Scared-dark-Police-chief-bans-officers-going-playground-night-dangerous.html)
Quote from: Daily Wail
In the line of duty, police officers routinely risk life and limb in all sorts of dangerous situations to protect and serve.
So patrolling an area plagued by teenage yobs should be childs play by comparison.
But constables and PCSOs have been banned from keeping the peace at an adventure playground at night because it is considered dark and dangerous.
A senior officer told stunned councillors there would be no patrols after 8pm at newly-built Waterlees Park in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, for health and safety reasons.

Quote from: Yahoo
A 19-year-old Mexican woman was in the ninth day of a hunger strike in front of the British embassy, demanding an invitation to the wedding of Britain's Prince William and Kate Middleton, she told AFP.
"I have been a fan of Lady Di since I was a little girl," said Estibalis Chavez, who set up a tent outside the British embassy in Mexico City. "My mother was also a fan... I promised myself I would go to the next royal wedding."
The young woman said she has been asking for an invitation to the April 29 ceremony at Westminster Abbey but that the embassy has told her it was impossible.
"I intend to fight until the very end... there is no turning back," she said on Thursday, adding that the invitation could make up for a characterization on the BBC Top Gear program of Mexicans as "lazy," "feckless" and "flatulent."

I was about to turn into the car park of our local supermarket the other week and yielded to a police car haring down the road from the other direction. Police cars always have their blue lights on here so it is difficult to know when it is am emergency or not...
Anyhoo... the car swept into the car park, took two parking places (meaning I had to park elsewhere) and the two officers went inside - to buy cakes! cussing:

Morbidly obese man covered in maggots found fused to the chair he sat in for two straight years
An obese man had to be cut free from a chair he had been stuck in for two years. Rescuers had to cut a hole in a wall of his house to lift the massive man through after they were unable to pry him from the chair.
The unnamed man, 43, was found by health officials sitting in his own faeces and urine and covered in maggots at the house in Bellaire, Ohio Paramedics were called to the home by the man's girlfriend after she found him unconscious. She admitted to medics she had been feeding him by hand since he got too big to get up.

Commemorative Royal Wedding Cauldron is now outselling both Union flags and the Big Day B-B-Q.
Retail giants B&Q have confirmed that their commemorative Royal Wedding Cauldron is now outselling both Union flags and the Big Day B-B-Q.
A B&Q survey discovered that most people would much rather place their vitals in a cauldron of boiling water than watch the tedium of a pair of privileged chancers and their fawning entourage, prostituting their horse-drawn wealth through the streets of London while the rest of the country wake up each morning wondering if they still have a job to go to.
The large cast iron pot is to be filled with lightly salted water, then suspended over a fiercely burning fire, and was adapted from a similar vessel believed to be used to by the Ashanti tribe of Central Africa to relieve their complete and utter boredom during the 2010 World Cup. Users can either boil their head or genitals, depending on their mood on the big day.

The 10-year deal has been described as 'symbolic' - whatever that means - but the club did issues the following press release:
The toddler's favourite position has not yet been determined. However, we can speak of a right-footed player with a very good kicking technique, perseverance and, importantly: football genes via his grandfather."

(Reuters) - Several thousand bees that were part a multi-million pound neuroscience research project have been stolen from a British university.
Police in the Scottish region of Tayside were appealing for information on Tuesday after four bee hives containing several thousand British black bees were stolen from a medical school in the city of Dundee.
"This theft will undoubtedly hamper our research," said Dr Chris Connolly, the lead researcher on the Dundee project, who reported the bees missing on Sunday.
In a statement he described the bees as "very unique" and said they should be easy to identify if they are sold on.
The hives are a part of a 2 million pound ($3.3 million) project at the Center for Neurosciences at the Dundee University's medical school which is investigating the potential effect of pesticides on bee learning and health.
Police said there were keen to trace a white van and two men that were seen in the area at around 0900 GMT on May 8.
Connolly said he thought the bees may have been stolen for breeding, or for selling on to specialist bee-keepers.
"Clearly whoever did this knows what they were doing and how to handle bees," he said.
Someone has clearly been misbeehiving. noooo:

Raise high your glass of tortoise penis kidney-tonifying wine and prepare for the scourge May 6, 2010 in Names/Naming by snark Ive been on a rampage though the patent database trolling for unusual names and language. Here is another gem: Tortoise penis kidney-tonifying wine. Betcha never thought you could patent such a concoction! In case you want to try to brew this baby up at home, the patent abstract lists the key ingredients:
The invention discloses tortoise wine for invigorating the kidney. The technical key points of the invention are that the wine is made by infusing live turtle, deer scourge, fur seal scourge and such Chinese herbal medicine as honeysuckle, osmanthus flower, codonopsis pilosula, angelica, morinda root, leatherleaf milletia, dodder, Schisandra, radix achyranthis bidentatae, Cherokee rose, barrenwort and grain wine. The wine for invigorating the kidney of the invention ahs the effects of invigorating the kidney, benefiting the stomach, strengthening the human immunity, resisting the fatigue and preventing the aging.
I was especially struck after tortoise penis by the ingredients deer scourge and fur seal scourge. I thought, is there another, more benign meaning of scourge that Im not aware of? Nope, all the definitions of scourge are pretty grim:

Spiders are typically very hard to identify and to be 100% certain the genitals of a dead specimen would need to be examined under a microscope.
eeek:
Why does it have to be dead?
I am certain that, when I am dead, my todger will look exactly like it does now.
No microscope needed of course, just a maginfying glass.

A cynic would suggest they may have fallen asleep on the job (http://www.petersfieldpost.co.uk/news/regional/police_cars_clamped_on_royal_duties_1_2723843)
A Hampshire police spokesman said: ... The officers had not left the vehicles at the time they were clamped."
Personally I hope he gets found not guilty, and the officers involved get sacked. You'd think one would wake up as it was being clamped, or the other would have noticed before he did the second car

Benefit cheats excuses ........
A survey by fraud investigators revealed the worst excuses used by benefit cheats were:
# "We don't live together he just comes each morning to fill up his flask."
# "I wasn't using the ladders to clean windows, I carried them for therapy for my bad back."
# "I had no idea my wife was working! I never noticed her leaving the house twice a day in a fluorescent jacket and a Stop Children sign."
# "My wallet was stolen so someone must have been using my identity, I haven't been working".
# "I didn't know I was still on benefit."
# "I didn't declare my savings because I didn't save them, they were given to me."
# "He lives in a caravan in the drive, we're not together."
# "He does come here every night and leave in the morning and although he has no other address I don't regard him as living here."
# "It wasn't me working, it was my identical twin."
# "I wasn't aware my wife was working because her hours of work coincided with the times I spent in the garden shed."
I'm sure Miss C was doing nothing more than fiddling with her clematis and toying with her lobelia whistle:
Yes, flitting from bed to bed with a fork in each one.

The milk produced by the transgenic cows is identical to the human variety and has the same immune-boosting and antibacterial qualities as breast milk, scientists at China's Agricultural University in Beijing say.

More than 30,000 people have been banned from a dating website which says it's exclusively limited to beautiful users.
BeautifulPeople.com gets existing users to vote on whether or not someone's attractive enough to join.
But the site's boss says it was hit by a virus which let tens of thousands of people join without passing that test.
Most of them have now been sent an email apologising and saying they were "wrongly admitted".
Around one in seven applicants is accepted with the majority of successful new members coming from the USA, Denmark and France according to figures from the site.
The UK is among the countries with the highest rate of rejection alongside Russia and Poland.

Pasta strainers are now considered suitable religious headgear in Austria... at least as far as the transport authorities are concerned.
Three years after applying for a new driver's licence, an Austrian man has finally received the laminated card - in which he is pictured with an upturned sieve on his head.
Niko Alm was allowed to wear the unusual headgear as it is deemed a suitable accessory for his 'Pastafarian' religion, the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Here is the Website BM, although by their standards you are already a member. Just remember to drill some holes in the bucket. lol:
Great. Consider yourself a member. Youll notice theres no hoops to jump through. You dont need to pay anything.
How to help the church
You can do that by spreading the word. Tell people about Pastafarianism. Point out that were the worlds most peaceful mainstream religion, having started no wars in our Gods name. As far as I know there are no deaths attributed to our religion.
Can I be a member if I dont literally Believe in the FSM?
Yes you can. For the same reason that many in other religions dont literally believe their scripture, you can be a Pastafarian without being a True Believer of our scripture. In other words, do you know Christians who dont take the Bible literally but who consider themselves True Christians, nonetheless? So do I. In fact, True Belief is not often a requirement of religion. Most religions are comprised of a group of people with similar but not exact world views. Pastafarianism is no different in that regard.
Whatever you decide, remember this
FSM is a real, legitimate religion, as much as any other. The fact that many see this is as a satirical religion doesnt change the fact that by any standard one can come up with, our religion is as legitimate as any other. And *that* is the point.

I am reminded of a night shift handover when the outgoing manager informed me that both my mobile patrol men were already on the road but would be unavailable to me for about an hour or so. He went on to say that Guard XXXXX was presently at the North Middlesex Hospital having his broken leg removed and expected to be on Site 1476 in about an hour so one Mobile was baby sitting the site whilst the other was going to Guard XXXXX's home to inform his wife. Apparently an ambulance, leaving the hospital, had knocked the guard off his motorbike so they had carted him in to A&E whilst the receptionist summoned the hospital engineers to fix his bike. The MD was in the control room at the time and became very agitated at our apparent lack of concern at all this "How can he have his leg removed and you two still expect him to be on site in an hour?"..... Woodstock, who was manning the radio controls that night, then explained to the MD that Guard XXXXX was known to be accident prone and was frequently having to go to hospital to have his tin leg straightened or replaced so he had been given a "spare" to keep in reserve. All we had to do was arrange for it to be collected from his home and delivered to A&E and he'd be back on duty. The MD turned white and left. The next day a memo came out from head office demanding to know how many other guards were deficient in limbs and how they had passed the medical.
We sent back a polite note saying as far as we knew 6 out of 750 had at least one false limb and two more each had a glass eye. We added that we could make no comment on the mental capacity of any of the others.
The MD never came into the control room at handover time again. ;D

Cornwall's 'Supercouncil' at it's finest. noooo:
For 40 years, Joy Bloor has looked after tortoises at her home in St Austell, Cornwall. Shes always done it for love, not money. But now her sanctuary is being threatened with closure after council officials ruled that her 400 tortoises are wild animals. She has been told that she will be put out of business unless she applies for a zoo licence, which could cost £1,000. Joys Lower Sticker Tortoise Garden has become a popular tourist attraction. Admission was free until the local council decided to make her pay business rates and she had to start charging £3 a head to cover costs.
Joy and Zeus the tortoise That was just the beginning of the bureaucratic interference. The council is also insisting that all the tortoises should be tagged with electronic micro-chips. Presumably, officials are worried they might stage a mass break-out and start savaging the cattle on nearby farmland. Someone at the Town Hall has been watching too many episodes of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. If the tortoises did break for the border, it wouldnt be that difficult rounding them up. The average walking speed of a tortoise is just 0.17 miles an hour. That would give even the slowest-witted council jobsworth ample time to apprehend them and return them to captivity. Some of the tortoises are more than 100 years old. They are hardly likely to go on the rampage across the Cornish countryside. Joy said: Even if they did escape, they wouldnt get very far. Our tortoises are fully domesticated and follow us like little dogs. They come when we call them. They couldnt possibly survive without humans to keep them alive. Micro-chipping them would not only be near impossible, because of the thickness of their leathery skin, it could also cause considerable distress and life-threatening trauma in some cases. And what if the tortoises simply retreated into their shells and refused to come out? Would they send for the Black and Decker drills? The council argues that it has no option other than to force Joy to comply with the provisions of the Zoo Licensing Act 1981. Bailiffs have already visited the sanctuary and issued an enforcement order. She is now being threatened with prosecution. This could become the latest cause celebre, once those Irish travellers have finally left their illegal site in Essex. No doubt Vanessa Redgrave is hot-footing it to Cornwall to save the St Austell 400. I have visions of the tortoises barricading themselves into their sanctuary, chaining themselves to concrete pillars, hoisting the United Nations flag and chanting: Hell. No. We Wont Go. Swampy and his mates are probably steaming down the A30 in a fleet of old Bedford vans to provide reinforcements, while riot police from neighbouring forces tool up and flood into Cornwall, ramping up the overtime. Let the Battle of Lower Sticker commence. OK, so its easy to make fun of this, but for Joy its no laughing matter. Why should she have a lifetime of hard work and devotion ruined by block-headed bureaucrats? All shes doing is giving a home to domestic pets who either been abandoned or have lost their owners. Wheres harm? The idea that shes running some kind of zoo is beyond preposterous. Somehow I cant see tortoises jumping through hoops or propelling themselves on the flying trapeze. Most tortoises spend all day mooching around doing very little and hibernate from the end of September to the beginning of March. The sanctuary closes to the public for the winter. Theres not much call for paying three quid to watch tortoises sleep.
The Lower Sticker Tortoise Garden closes to visitors in the Winter while the tortoises are in hibernation More to the point, think of the time and taxpayers money which has been wasted on this fatuous exercise the officers reports, the site visits, the committee meetings, the legal opinions, the interminable discussions about whether tortoises are domestic pets or wild animals. And this at a time when councils across the country are bleating about the cuts to essential public services. Actually, money is the motive force behind all this. First they slapped a massive bill for business rates on Joy, now they want her to buy an expensive zoo licence, call it a grand for cash. The bold public servant responsible for this vindictive campaign is one Lance Kennedy, who styles himself Cabinet Member of Cornwall Council and Portfolio Holder for Community Safety and Protection. That grandiose title just about sums up everything which is wrong with the kind of individual who goes into local government these days. Hes a jumped-up parish councillor, but has taken on the airs and graces of an international statesman. Cabinet Member and Portfolio Holder for Community Safety and Protection. For heavens sake. Protection from what, exactly wild tortoises? Just who does this pompous oaf think he is? When the local MP wrote appealing for clemency, Portfolio Holder Kennedy accused him of inciting council officials to break the law. Major Lance says he sympathises with Joys plight, but rules is rules: the refrain of intransigent tyrants down the ages. He is impervious to reason. Bring on the Ninja Turtles.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) - Debris from a defunct six-tonne NASA science satellite that crashed to Earth on Saturday fell harmlessly in a remote area of the South Pacific Ocean, NASA said on Tuesday.
Experts estimated that as much as 1,100 pounds (495 kg) of debris survived the bus-sized satellite's fiery plunge through the atmosphere, which started at midnight EDT on Saturday (0400 GMT on Sunday).
The Joint Space Operations Center at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California determined that the U.S. space agency's Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) entered the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean at 14.1 degrees south latitude and 170.2 west longitude, NASA said in a statement.

Border Agent put his wife on terrorist list
Immigration officer fired after putting wife on list of terrorists to stop her flying home
An immigration officer tried to rid himself of his wife by adding her name to a list of terrorist suspects.
He used his access to security databases to include his wife on a watch list of people banned from boarding flights into Britain because their presence in the country is not conducive to the public good.
As a result the woman was unable for three years to return from Pakistan after travelling to the county to visit family.
The tampering went undetected until the immigration officer was selected for promotion and his wife name was found on the suspects list during a vetting inquiry.
The Home Office confirmed today that the officer has been sacked for gross misconduct.

Men spend more time getting ready than women whistle:
On average men spend 81 minutes a day on personal grooming, including cleansing, toning and moisturising, shaving, styling hair and choosing clothes, the study found. Women have their beauty regime down to a fine art and get hair, clothes and make-up done in just 75 minutes. The research, carried out for Travelodge, found that on an average morning men spend 23 minutes in the shower, compared to 22 minutes for women. Men then take 18 minutes on their shaving regime, compared to 14 minutes for women despite them having to trim legs, armpits and bikini line. Men take a minute longer - 10 minutes - on cleansing, toning and moisturising.

The website Mumsnet was on its knees yesterday after a mum used its message boards to debut her male equivalent of a MILF.
I saw this derogatory term everywhere, said Mrs Jane Brooker of Carshalton Beeches, so I thought, why cant we ladies have a nice, clean codeword for the buff parade outside the school gates? Thats when it came to me: DILDO Dad Id Like to Do. Its short, smooth, and rolls off the tongue.
Mrs Brooker splashed her term all over Mumsnet, unveiling her hotness hierarchy. Her best friends husband became a total dildo, Barack Obama a dildo if I could afford the airfare and Hugh Grant the eternal dildo.
Chaos ensued, until the websites founder, Jane Owen, sprang to Mrs Brookers defence. I cant see what the fuss is about. Mind you, when Abismum posted about the intimate pleasure a rabbit can give in the page dealing with pet care we nearly had an animal cruelty charge.
Mrs Brooker was red faced when told of her error. What, you shove them up where? For fun? Eeuw, thats the last time I coin a phrase in a hurry. But is it still ok to call Ricky Gervais a Total Waste of Anyones Time?

Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough! It isn't fit for humans now, There isn't grass to graze a cow. Swarm over, Death!
Come, bombs and blow to smithereens Those air -conditioned, bright canteens, Tinned fruit, tinned meat, tinned milk, tinned beans, Tinned minds, tinned breath.
Mess up the mess they call a town- A house for ninety-seven down And once a week a half a crown For twenty years.
And get that man with double chin Who'll always cheat and always win, Who washes his repulsive skin In women's tears:
And smash his desk of polished oak And smash his hands so used to stroke And stop his boring dirty joke And make him yell.
But spare the bald young clerks who add The profits of the stinking cad; It's not their fault that they are mad, They've tasted Hell.
It's not their fault they do not know The birdsong from the radio, It's not their fault they often go To Maidenhead
And talk of sport and makes of cars In various bogus-Tudor bars And daren't look up and see the stars But belch instead.
In labour-saving homes, with care Their wives frizz out peroxide hair And dry it in synthetic air And paint their nails.
Come, friendly bombs and fall on Slough To get it ready for the plough. The cabbages are coming now; The earth exhales.

His fairy wings, pink tutu and ballet pumps suggest this little boy has raided the dressing up box.
But if five-year-old Sasha wanted to wear this every day, his parents would have no problem at all.
In fact, as they are bringing him up to be gender neutral, they would see it simply as their son expressing himself.
Not that they usually refer to him as him. From the moment Sasha was born, Beck Laxton and Kieran Cooper have been at pains not to lumber their son with the stereotyping they fear that gender brings.
So they simply called him the infant and kept his gender a secret from all but a few close friends and relatives. As he grew older, he was encouraged to play with dolls as much as Lego, slept in a neutral yellow room and was allowed to wear both boys and girls clothes.
But now that he is five and at school Miss Laxton, 46, and Mr Cooper, 44, believe it will be almost impossible to keep it up.
Last year parents in Canada who refused to say whether their child was a boy or girl stirred up outrage and accusations they were turning their child into a freak.
Sashas parents, who have faced their own share of raised eyebrows, are thought to be among the first British parents to speak about this far-from-traditional method of raising a child. They are keen to highlight the issue publicly and get other parents talking about it.

Paul Daniels' finger reattached after saw accident
A surgeon has reattached TV magician Paul Daniels' finger after he cut it off with a saw on New Year's Day.
Daniels, 73, lost his left index finger and the tip of his ring finger in an accident with a circular saw while building props for his act.
He drove himself from his Berkshire home to hospital in Henley-on-Thames, where the index finger was reattached.
Speaking to the BBC, Daniels said that the accident will not affect his upcoming theatre tour, but he has prepared a back-up plan.
"I decided that I had best write a plan A and a plan B. Plan A is that everything is working fine and plan B is that we take that trick out, because I physically cannot do it yet.
"The tour will go ahead - everything will be fine," he added.

Lego Man in Space (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQwLmGR6bPA#ws)
A video posted on YouTube appeared to show the amazing voyage of a Lego man sent into space on a homemade spacecraft by two Toronto students. Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, both 17, used a weather balloon ordered online and a makeshift Styrofoam spacecraft to send the plastic astronaut 15 miles into the stratosphere, reports said.
An accelerated video clip shows highlights of the Lego man during his 97-minute odyssey.
Canadian media said the pair had fitted a box tethered to the balloon with four cameras and a cellphone enabled with a GPS (global positioning system) device to capture the journey. They then added a nylon parachute stitched on Mr Muhammad's mother's sewing machine to ensure that Lego man would return to Earth safely. The balloon was filled with helium purchased from a party supply store. The whole enterprise cost less than £320.
The duo then consulted a website to calculate the estimated landing spot of the weather balloon based on launch coordinates, prevailing winds and other data before launching it from a soccer pitch in nearby Newmarket, Ontario.
At four miles in altitude, the balloon travelled out of cell phone range and the GPS signal also cut out, so they went home and reportedly made dumplings.
Then Ho's iPad beeped. The Lego man had re-entered the atmosphere and touched down in a field 75 miles from the launch point.

FIREFIGHTERS refused to help a man floating face-down in a park lake because the water was above "ankle deep", an inquest heard yesterday.
Simon Burgess, 41, drowned after he fell in while feeding swans. He was only taken out of the three-feet-deep lake 28 MINUTES after the alarm was raised.
Gillian Hughes, 53, called 999 but was told by one fireman "we are not allowed" into the lake in Gosport, Hampshire.
I see it has been announced that being bitten by a Tyrannosaurus Rex was the equivalent of being sat on by a medium sized elephant.
Can anyone tell me what that is in double decker buses?
The "Scientist" interviewed on the TODAY programme reckoned that T Rex had a bite equivalent of between 3 and 6 tons. An old fashioned Routemaster weighed 7.3 tons (unladen) thus the answer to your question would be between half and six sevenths of a double decker bus. The average weight of an African Elephant is four and a half tons. whistle:

At times it's a pity the actual layout of the papers isn't replicated on the online version. On this mornings ITN news they were doing the story about witchcraft over here and in Africa. The presenter held up the Daily Telegraph and shown the front page, it had the headline "Witchcraft is growing threat to children", no problem with that, except they had a large picture of the Queen, Camilla and Kate Middleton immediately above it lol:

The Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales is intensifying its campaign against the government's plan to legalise same-sex marriage.
In a letter being read in 2,500 parish churches, the Church's two most senior archbishops say the change would reduce the significance of marriage.
The letter says Roman Catholics have a duty to make sure it does not happen.
The letter goes on to say that same sex child abuse is perfectly all right and as it has been practised since time immemorial. It will therefore intensify it's campaign against the government's plan to make it illegal. eveilgrin:

'Smurf' sought in Forest of Dean Reports of a man "who looks like a Smurf" behaving suspiciously in the Forest of Dean are being investigated.
Gloucestershire Police said they had received several reports of a man in a blue morph suit with blue paint on his face in Longhope.
One witness said the man, who was seen waving at women and running up to them doing star jumps, "looked like a Smurf".
Officers say they are keen to speak to the man to establish his motives.
Police said people in May Hill had called the force to report the man on 20 May and twice on Saturday.

Here are some funny craigslist ads... lol.
From the personals
How do I know youre out there?
Lets begin with that ad of mine that you recently responded to, shall we? You know the one Im talking about. It was entitled, Mrs. Robinson, are you trying to seduce me? m4w22 That ad ran for three days before I got a response, and I cant tell you, Mom, how my heart fell when I saw the photo that accompanied the response. It was your Realtors headshot, the one on your business card. Even worse was the text of your response. Im so, so sorry I know now what youd do to me if we ever hooked up. On the other hand, Dad mustve been a very, very lucky guy back in the day. I dunno, maybe he still is.
I guess, Mom, when I think a bit about it, that I should resign myself to whatever it is that you are doing. After all, youre an adult and Im an adult. I cant tell you what you should do with your life.
But Mom, Id like to raise a few points.
The first point Id like to raise is that youre still married to Dad. Please, please PLEASE tell me that you have his blessing. My mind is reeling now, hoping that youre not the people who posted Fun Couple Looking For Others MW4MW57 I have a sneaking suspicion, though, that it is you. Now that I know youre cruising CE, I suspect that there arent too many other 57 year old swingers from the Westlake area posting on Craigslist.
The second point Id like to raise is that you owe it to whoever youre trying to hook up with to be honest. I mean, I lived with you and Dad for 18 years. Youre not that fun.
Finally, Id like you to stop responding to my College Stud Needs a MILF m4w22 ads. The only one who should find you to be MILF-y at all is Dad. For me, you are just an M. Got it?
Your son.
PS. Im going to swing by at around 7-7:30-ish to do a load of wash, is that okay? I tried to call you at the office, but they kept telling me that youre busy.

Hmm, what is the fastest speed a mobility scooter is allowed to go? eveilgrin:
4mph for the "pavement" variety ~ needs no licence, tax or insurance 8mph for the "road" variety ~ needs insurance and must have lights, indicators etc.
And yes I realise the question was asked tongue in cheek but since I have two of them I thought I'd answer it anyway. My lightweight one fits the car boot with ease, has a range of 7 miles per charge and is adequate. The second and much heavier one is Italian (yes it has a reverse but only one). That one has a range of 20 miles per charge and travels at 6mph if I want it to. That's the one I use when the boys and I go out ~ them on their bikes.

Dog Shoots Man: Hunter's Hand Is Amputated (http://uk.news.yahoo.com/dog-shoots-man-hunters-hand-amputated-003448867.html)
Quote
A French hunter has told how he had to have his hand amputated after his "adorable" dog accidentally shot him.
The 55-year-old man, named only as Rene, said the animal accidentally pulled the trigger of his master's shotgun after jumping on top of him "for a cuddle".
The shot destroyed his right hand and he had to be taken by helicopter to a hospital in Bordeaux, where doctors were unable to save the limb.
Rene, who was hunting with three Blue Gascony Basset hounds in St Michel de Double, in the southwestern Dordogne region, told France Bleu radio he did not blame the animal.
"It wasn't the dog's fault," he said. "And he's adorable! I should have left the (gun's) safety on, that's all."

West London borough set to axe street bins because they attract rubbish (http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/west-london-borough-set-to-axe-street-bins-because-they-attract-rubbish-8474450.html)
Quote
A council is to remove litter bins from residential streets, claiming that they encourage abuse of the facility.
Kensington and Chelsea council will only offer passers-by a place to dispose of their rubbish in busy areas, including shopping and tourist streets and outside schools, fast food restaurants, Tube stations and bus stops.
The council feels that the bins are being used to dispose of large quantities of business and residential waste rather than the small items for which they are intended. A trial saw bins removed from one side of Earls Court Road, and council officers reported only a very slight increase in littering.

I was reading one of the bloggers the other week (Anna Raccoon) who had been on the spongers website and calculated the amount she could get from the state - it was enormous! She'd just have to sell her pad in France, buy a small place in the UK, spend the remainder on a new Aston Martin for hubby (to get under some savings threshold) and she'd be made up!

IT'S madness: She beats jail and can now claim double.
Britain's farcical benefits system was exposed yesterday after a cheating mother was told she can now claim twice as much rather than go to jail.
Joanne Gibbons, 23, fiddled £3,140 in income support while holding down two jobs, a court was told.
But after she was caught it was revealed the shop assistant mother-of-one was entitled to claim £130 a week £64 a week more than the amount she was swindling the taxpayer.

BBC News: "In his first sermon as Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby warned against the "hero leader culture" or putting our trust in one person as this can lead to false hope."
He said, stood next to a giant statue of the ever-living, miracle-working, son of God who died for all our sins.

I have to admit I'd have loved to have seen the planning for this noooo:
"Alright lads I've got a great idea" "What is it boss?" "We are going to blow up a cash point and nick the cash" "Sounds good but we won't be able to do one in town as the police will be all over us" "Not a problem, I've already scoped one out and it's ideal" "Where is it?" "The petrol station out of town" "....." "....." "....." "....." "I'll be in the getaway car"
Every aircraft is certified for a 'crosswind component' - if it exceeds that they are unable to land...
Pilots are also trained to land in crosswinds...
Otherwise, 90% of airports would be closed when the wind didn't blow East/West (or West/east).

The problem arose when Mrs Kerswell was telephoned by the surgery and informed that her kidney condition demanded an urgent urine test.
She told them she was perfectly healthy but the surgery insisted that her records showed she was a heavy smoker and suffered from Alzheimer's Disease, a kidney condition and had undergone a hysterectomy and a double hip replacement.

A Lancashire supermarket chain has been forced to clear its shelves of monkey nuts - because the label doesn't state that the packet contains nuts.
Booths Food, Wine and Grocery has withdrawn its Whole Hearted Roasted Monkey Nuts and the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued an Allergy Alert.
The company is concerned the label doesn't state the packet contains peanuts, putting those allergic to them at risk.

Post by: Grumpmeister on May 28, 2013, 10:32:45 PM
In my youth, when I was merely an apprentice old git, we used to have a fad. Yes, we had those before the Internet and they did not involve lying on things or pouring stuff over yourself except sometimes accidentally at the end of an evening. Here I speak not of the Painless Cyder and Ludo Club nor of the Frog Society, those came later. This was the inhalation of booze club, never formally named because it left few of us coherent enough to say much of anything.
We would take a shot of spirit, vodka or gin or whisky, and not swallow. We would hold it under the tongue with head tilted forward, let it reach body temperature and then inhale sharply. Do not try this anywhere else other than at home because you might forget where home is.
The alcohol bypasses all the bodys anti-booze defences and passes as a vapour straight through the lungs into the bloodstream. Wallop. Its a youngsters fad, its for the fit and healthy only. It is also self-limiting because if youve done it a couple of times then take a drink and tilt your head forward to try again, it all just runs out.
It depends on the alcohol being vapour which is why you let it warm up.
So it was with some bafflement that I read about the new fad for smoking your booze. They now do it by adding dry ice and inhaling what comes off.
I am never going to try that. Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide and the fumes are water vapour condensing on the very, very cold gaseous carbon dioxide. Dropping the temperature of your booze is not going to encourage alcohol vapour formation, quite the opposite in fact. What you can get from this is a feeling somewhat akin to intoxication but which is actually your brain suffering from carbon dioxide overload.
You breathe in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide. Your bodys ability to do this depends to a very large extent on the fact that air contains 20-21% oxygen and a tiny fraction of a percent of carbon dioxide. So oxygen from air diffuses into oxygen-depleted blood in the lungs while the relatively large amounts of carbon dioxide in that blood easily diffuse into the air which is then exhaled.
If you increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the air going in, your body cannot expel the carbon dioxide it has accumulated and if the percentage in inhaled air goes above even a few percent, carbon dioxide diffuses into your blood, not out.
Dissolved carbon dioxide becomes carbonic acid, your blood turns acidic, you get acidosis and then you die.
This new fad sounds very dangerous but the danger has nothing to do with alcohol nor with smoking, both of which are implicated in the article even though neither are really involved.
Either the experts quoted dont realise this, or the entire article is akin to the Prohibitionists deliberately poisoning alcohol in the States on their last outing. The experts claim that the inhaled stuff is bad because it is dry which is bollocks. The visible smoke is water vapour condensing on the freezing gas. It is not dry. This linking of smoking and drinking is not aimed at killing off the smokers nor is it aimed at the drinkers. Look closely.
The main actor claims to have lost eighty pounds by doing this. This one is intended to kill off the fatties.
If anyone out there has any thought of getting some dry ice and a bottle of gin as a weight loss aid, forget it. If you have not handled dry ice before the only weight you will lose will add up to the weight of your fingers. If you try this inhalation of carbon dioxide idea, you will die.
Normally the Daily Mails Righteous reports are laughable but this is a whole new direction. This is something that will kill fatties while associating the blame with drinkers and smokers. A very tenuous association, sure, but these days thats all it takes.
If you want alcohol vapour you need to make the drink warmer, not colder. So either some idiots have decided that the effects of inhaling raised carbon dioxide is the same as alcohol (its probably similar, but you dont have years of liver vs. booze to enjoy it, in fact it could be the same as a deadly reaction to your first ever drug experience) or this is an entirely made-up story designed to rack up a few deaths that can then be blamed on booze and linked to smoking.
They have done it before. The poisoned alcohol in the US Prohibition era was not, at the time, linked to the Righteous. The deaths were blamed on booze. They had not progressed so far with smoking at that time.
If you like to smoke or drink or have one of those larger than average waistlines, know this. Despising those you are told to despise will not save you. The despisers hate you too and you are expendable. If they can kill you and blame it on us, they will.

First, I asked Stephen Belcher, the head of the Met Office Hadley Centre, whether the recent extended winter was related to global warming. Shaking his famous ghost stick, and fingering his trademark necklace of sharks teeth and mammoth bones, the loin-clothed Belcher blew smoke into a conch, and replied,

When pressed on the particular outlook for the British Isles. Professor Sutton shook his head, moaned eerily unto the heavens, and stuffed his fingers into the entrails of a recently disembowelled chicken, bought fresh from Waitrose in Teignmouth.
Hurling the still-beating heart of the chicken into a shallow copper salver, Professor Sutton inhaled the aroma of burning incense, then told the Telegraph: The seven towers of Agamemnon tremble. Much is the discord in the latitude of Gemini. When, when cry the sirens of doom and love. Speckly showers on Tuesday.

So who are we to believe? For a final word, I turned to the greatest climate change scientist of all, Dr David Viner, one-time senior research scientist at the climatic research unit of the University of East Anglia, who predicted in 2000 that, within a few years, winter snowfall would become "a very rare and exciting event".
However, he was trapped under a glacier in Stockport, so was unable to comment at the time the Telegraph went to press.

Well there's the constant cursing at MeMI, the smell of popcorn seasoning, the 152nd loud screening of Moulin Rouge and the constant worry that the Nick will knock on your door by mistake

BM has not much chance of getting more than 500 Euros with all that lot going on. Still the windmills might help reduce his electricity bill one day. Thumbs:

Got to say I rarely go beyond 3 drinks nowadays, haven't for a long time.
Used to be a serious don't stop in single figures person but one day I realised I wasn't enjoying it, others were far better at holding it and it was getting expensive and risky.
Think the getting stopped by the police with over 6 vodkas in me - and getting away with it - was the end for me.

If Camermong says it is working it isn't... he is a liar, it is bullshit... it is something the useless c**t can seen to be doing while thousands die because of his ridiculous policies in other areas...

How do you know he is lying? All he's said is officials have told him they have received more expressions of interest since the posters were used. The rest is all Maily Telegraph invective.
I think they've worked splendidly but in another way. A whole host of pseuds and bleeding hearts have come out from under stones to bleat how unfair they are only to realise they have managed to make themselves look like total twats supporting crime. With luck they'll STFU for ever now - a real result.
Just out of interest would you rather have your politicians or ours?

He is lying because the whole thing is a pointless, implausible scam.... oh, and he always lies...
Really, if you were an illegal (and they have admitted that they don't know how many are there or where they are) would you keep your head down and face possible arrest and deportation or hand yourself in to face certain arrest and deportation....?
I don't think there is a lot to choose between the two sets to be honest - you just have more of them than us...

I always have this difficulty with people that mis-use the word "lie". I guess the way the interweb is destroying language it won't be too many years before the Oxford Dictionary says "lie: a statement you dislike, particularly if made by someone you dislike"
Anyway these signs. If they make just one illegal or employer of illegals scared witless than it's all been worth it imho.

Almost every word that comes out of his mouth is a lie... remember his cast Iron guarantee...?
It isn't that I 'dislike' him or his statement, it is that he and many like him simply cannot be trusted to tell the truth...
As for the signs.... to spend god knows how much on such a ludicrous headline grabbing scheme while 600 pensioners die unexpectedly every week due to increased costs and cuts is disgusting in the extreme....

Yep, do you?
Quote from: Cameron
"Today, I will give this cast-iron guarantee: If I become PM a Conservative government will hold a referendum on any EU treaty that emerges from these negotiations. No treaty should be ratified without consulting the British people in a referendum."
And he hasn't got a Conservative government yet has he. IIRC he has recently committed that the next Conservative government will hold that very referendum.
"Liar" is a very strong accusation. It is arguably the foulest non violent behaviour.

The court was told that there was a long-running dispute between the two, who were neighbours.

That approach is par for the course for mainstream games now. The average game can now have anything up to 1500 people involved in putting it together and a development budget equal to if not greater than a Hollywood blockbuster. The first day profits are seen as an early indicator of how successful the game is going to be so from the publishers/software house's perspective the longer it can be sold for on day one the better.

'When I went in the church, I saw something on the floor which I could only describe as flesh, which I thought was part of his arm but that was one of his testicles.'
Which begs the question: "How the feck big was the bollock in question if he mistook it for part of an arm?"

The comments underneath are mostly from PC people (Social Service twats, some genuinely were good but most were useless wankers!) whom my ex-wife had to work with. noooo: There is a big industry out there for wasting the public funds and they are quick to try and get more funding to try and keep themselves in overpaid/underworked jobs by commenting on how things are 'mentioned' in every day life. A new department can be set up to keep an eye on supermarket's advertising schemes which would need at least 25 people with managers etc. to do about one hour's werk a month. noooo:

Mayor Arthur McDaniel told CNN he is excited about the new law. Its time a city steps up and sets a precedent that this disgusting filth that has plagued this great country of ours for generations will no longer be tolerated, McDaniel said. Pornography is a defiant act against Jesus and his teachings. The rest of the country can keep their heads in the sand about this smut and corruption to our children, but not the great city of St. George. I can only hope and pray other cities and states follow suit.

I think you'll find that most (if not all) modern airliners are now 'fly by wire'.....
...and of course many other functions of a modern aircraft are controlled entirely or partly and monitored by 'puters....
I distinctly remember when the Airbus was launched a computer boffin stating that with millions of lines of computer code they could never test it all and the planes would be falling out of the air every day.... ::)

Well the good news Marley is they don't use Windows, the other good news is being electronic links they're able to route the front to wing connections to reduce the risk of damage. A good move as sadly it's not unknown for aircraft to crash when the mechanical control links have been impaired by otherwise survivable mechanical damage.
The only fly by wire passenger aircraft accidents I know of were caused by errors in other areas.

A LOTTERY scratchcard has been withdrawn from sale by Camelot - because players couldn't understand it.
The Cool Cash game - launched on Monday - was taken out of shops yesterday after some players failed to grasp whether or not they had won.
To qualify for a prize, users had to scratch away a window to reveal a temperature lower than the figure displayed on each card. As the game had a winter theme, the temperature was usually below freezing.
But the concept of comparing negative numbers proved too difficult for some Camelot received dozens of complaints on the first day from players who could not understand how, for example, -5 is higher than -6.
Tina Farrell, from Levenshulme, called Camelot after failing to win with several cards.
The 23-year-old, who said she had left school without a maths GCSE, said: "On one of my cards it said I had to find temperatures lower than -8. The numbers I uncovered were -6 and -7 so I thought I had won, and so did the woman in the shop. But when she scanned the card the machine said I hadn't.
"I phoned Camelot and they fobbed me off with some story that -6 is higher - not lower - than -8 but I'm not having it.

Its not a new concept BM, dialler companies have been playing around with this for a few years now because of tightening regulation about agent scripting, especially within the financial sector. At a guess I'd say we have 2-3 years before we see it in widespread use.
When it does roll out though its a safe bet that companies with large call centres 150-1500 people will snap it up, as even if you only have 100 agents being paid say £11 per year not including commission you would pay off the cost of the dialler and chatbots in 6-8 months with the salary savings alone, plus the savings that would be made on floorspace as depending on the hardware you could potentially run what would have been a traditional 100 seat call centre from a room the size of the minema as long as they don't have any sort of 'idiot customer' provision where you can trick the system into putting you through to a human the way you can with IVR's.

I read elsewhere that the Global Warmalists have explained this fiasco as being due to the wind FFS ::) ::) ::) like they didn't know there was wind in the Antarctic in summer, like they'd have declared the wind as a factor had it been what they needed for what they hoped they'd find.
In other news even the BBC has admitted (http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/features/25590136)that our current shit weather is due to the extreme cold weather in Canada, that'd be the cold weather despite all that warming then.

So you are saying that there is no difference in your mind between enjoying a steak and sexually abusing a child you stupid fucking egotistical cockwomble Angry9:
Quote
'I see no difference between eating animals and paedophilia. 'They are both rape, violence, murder. If I'm introduced to anyone who eats beings, I walk away.
Well lets deal with this in order shall we. Granted if you close one eye then legally the definition of violence could apply to the meat industry but if that were so then why haven't there been any prosecutions. The definition of rape is clear and obviously has no relation at all with the industry. And finally the legal definition of murder is The unlawful killing of another human being without justification or excuse so unless you are eating long pig then you argument is deranged nonsensical bollocks.
Quote
'Imagine, for example, if you were in a nightclub and someone said to you "Hello, I enjoy bloodshed, throat-slitting and the destruction of life," well, I doubt if you'd want to exchange phone numbers.'
I don't know what kind of nightclubs you frequent but for the rest of us the odds of us having someone try that as a chatup line are pretty much nonexistant.

Usually I can just ignore him but I worked with abused kids when I went to Romania and I had a friend a while back who was raped so to hear that vacuous fucktard making light of the ordeals that victims of these crimes have gone through sent my piss boiling to volcanic levels. You don't like eating meat? Fine, it's a free world and you are welcome to your opinion but that doesn't give you the right to trivialise events that can destroy someone's life.

If you dig a bit deeper on that BBC site you will find that all they ever committed to do was "take account of climate change in their investment activities" and it turns out all that means is they will ask the companies they invest in to think about climate change.

So you are saying that the attack wasn't over the top, that beating the hell out of the side of a range rover with your baton like some demented pinata playing moron while your colleague climbs on to the bonnet and kicks in the windscreen before hauling out the 74 year old driver is acceptable police procedure? You weren't dealing with a hardened criminal with a weapon, you pulled over this guy for not wearing a seatbelt until, likely caused by a breakdown in communication given your obvious skills in diplomacy, he drove off before you were finished with him.
Quote
The chase: He wasnt driving particularly fast, but he forced a pedal cyclist to jump off his bike into a hedge, drove on the verge when a van blocked his path and drove on the wrong side of a blind junction.
So he wasn't speeding but made mistakes and showed some poor judgement in driving and at a guess I'd say that was down to him being rattled by you following him.
Quote
The attack: It was a strong use of force that was required to get into the vehicle, to disable the vehicle and stop it going any further.
Required my arse, firstly HE HAD STOPPED! And secondly a few seconds after you start using his car like a fucking drum you have 2 other officers appear which would indicate at least one more police car. You could have acted like professionals and blocked him in instead of acting like thugs with a badge.
I can't help but wonder how many other incidents like this you have been part of.

Problem is we don't get to see the whole story. The car chase was apparently over 15 minutes but the video leaked to YouTube selectively showed only on the last minute or two. Even so you can clearly hear the sirens going and the driver should have stopped
It's also said that during that over 15 minute car chase the Range Rover driver Whatley drove dangerously more than once and had in any event driven off before while being stopped. Whatley was the author of his own misfortune and should not have got a penny, instead incl costs he got £65k FFS
I'm not his greatest fan but imho David Davies has this one right.
Update: here's the whole series of events: At 4.10 rogue driver sets off when he shouldn't and then there's 17 minutes of dull blues and twos chase where the git picks roads he can't be passed on.

Internet argument resolved (http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/society/internet-argument-resolved-2014030584268)
Quote
AN ARGUMENT on the internet has been resolved to the satisfaction of both parties.
The conclusion of the dispute, which began in October 1998 on a message board abandoned by everyone else in 2002, has given hope to the rest of the internet.
Bill McKay said: Were pretty sure the argument began over The X-Files, though we actually disagreed even on that for most of 2009.
Since then its ranged across Richard Dawkins, Keynesian economics, dream Justice League line-ups, the standardisation of European shoe sizes and smartphone operating systems, Godwinising a record 43,378 times.
Its been a full-time job, so Im lucky that I have the kind of full-time job where they assume if Im typing Im working.
Bill, also known as Flying Boy, and his interlocutor Electr0m0nk have spent 16 years locked in argument, a full year of which was spent shouting STRAW MAN! at each other.
The pair, who estimate they cut-and-pasted sections from every page on Wikipedia in attempts to back up their prejudices with evidence, now count themselves friends.
Bill said: I dunno, after the thousandth time you accuse someone of an ad hominem you get friendly, you know?
We finally settled our differences, agreed that wed both learned a lot from each other, closed the message board and moved on.
I hope it can teach others that arguing on the internet is completely worthwhile, as long as you never give up. Never.

Passengers at a French railway station were left horrified when a high-speed TGV train arrived at a platform with the dead body of a cyclist stuck to the front of the train.
The body of a cyclist hit by one of France's high-speed TGV trains was embedded into the front of the driver's carriage and carried 40 kilometres (25 miles) before anyone noticed.
Police and the national rail company SNCF were unable to say on Monday whether the 48-year-old man's death was accidental or a suicide.
He was struck by the train on a level crossing in the village of Petit-Croix, near Belfort in eastern France on Sunday, but his body was not discovered until staff and passengers got off at the next stop, in Mulhouse.
"The body was found, stuck to the front right of the train, out of the driver's vision," an SNCF spokesman said, adding that an incident of this kind was "relatively rare".
The remains of the victim's bicycle were recovered by police at the level crossing.
France's TGVs travel at speeds of up to 322 km/h (200 mph) in regular service.

How the hell do you not notice that you are being charged £450 for a loaf of bread? If you are at a normal checkout then the till operator always reads out the total amount and the self service rigs clearly show the total. If I was the cynical sort (yes I know, that could never happen whistle: ) I'd wonder if he was trying to pull a fast one on Asda for stopping him from buying the car he's on about.

Drink more booze for your health! (http://www.timworstall.com/2014/04/19/drink-more-booze-for-your-health/)
Quote
If you like to unwind with a glass of wine, then this might be the news youve been waiting for. Because according to a leading scientist, drinking just over a bottle a day wont harm your health.
Dr Kari Poikolainen, who used to work for the World Health Organisation as an alcohol expert, examined decades of research into its effects. Men are currently meant to have no more than four units a day but women are supposed to have three units around the equivalent of a large glass of wine.
A bottle of wine has ten units. But Dr Poikolainen believes drinking only becomes harmful when people consume more than around 13 units a day.
He also claimed that people who exceed the recommended limit could live longer than teetotallers.
Dr Poikolainen said: The weight of the evidence shows moderate drinking is better than abstaining and heavy drinking is worse than abstaining however the moderate amounts can be higher than the guidelines say.
Quote from: Timmy
Pretty much the standard finding. As with so many things theres a curve, the interesting thing being the shape of it. And that standard finding is that boozing up to some 40, 50 units a week is healthier than pure abstinence, after that more unhealthy.
So, given this statement of the standard finding, what do we hear next?
But Julia Manning, from think-tank 2020Health, said: This is an unhelpful contribution to the debate. It makes grand claims which we dont see evidence for. She added: Alcohol is a toxin, the risks outweigh the benefits.

I know that my reply is an AFF's but am pretty sure that most of you will have forgotten.......... cloud
In 1973/4 I was in my early teens and lived close to the Northumberland coast. A dead whale was beached on the shore line there. I garnered much interest .
My sister, brother and I along with friends when down to the beach during the early evening of day two, we decided that walking/running off the length of the whale and falling/sliding off of it was a good idea as was bouncing up and down on it. redface: It really was great fun.
A day or so later the RAF towed it out to sea and blew it up. That was pretty spectacular to watch as well. redface: redface:
I will try and find a link later. angel1
Oh and BTW I am appalled by Subway and their decision to offer Halal meat in some of it's franchises, There are Subway's in Cornwall, I wonder if they will decide to sell only Cornish pasties in their wraps. Arse. evil:
I don't go to Subway's here very often, anyone know if there will be notices advising customers how the meat for the rolls is slaughtered. evil:

Wrong imho and dumb but looks like a business driven solution that if they are going after the Halal likers in some areas then that won't work if such see bacon on the menu.
One of the good things about Subway imho is they cater for so many preferences so well and (imho again) someone that is denied their bacon on a visit is unlikely to return to the chain wherever. I'll still go to Subway but not the Halal ones, luckily the brilliant one near Old Trafford isn't.
Interesting that their press release http://www.subway.co.uk/media/news/halal-stores.aspx (http://www.subway.co.uk/media/news/halal-stores.aspx) doesn't say owt about bacon.
Does offering bacon or any Halal stuff worry you? rubschin: . . . .
Not as much as people imposing their lifestyles on others for no good reason.

What I found most interesting about the reactions people showed while getting tazed was you never knew how they would react. Some people screamed while others were quiet. A few people looked like they were experiencing pleasure while others had the most painful faces I've ever seen. I saw jumpers and fallers. People laughed and people cursed. I even had about four guys and girls who did not react at all and seemed to be completely unphased by the 300,000 volts of electricity.

Of course it is, Tesco's main problem is that they have grown and expanded into so many new markets that they don't have any real direction any more, combined with loss of customer confidence over recent issues such as the horse meat scandal and the fact that they are not adapting to the economic changes which have led to the surge in popularity of budget supermarkets such as Lidl and Aldi means that their market share has significantly diminished.

Quote
David Cameron has said he wants to see a British Asian Prime Minister in his lifetime.
Mr Cameron made the remarks at an awards dinner in central London where Sajid Javid, the Culture secretary who is widely tipped as his successor, topped a power list of the most influential Asians in the UK.

West Sussex woman dies in Cyprus holiday sea rescue bid (http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-sussex-29923081)
Strange story...
...it is only in paragraph three that we discover that another man also died...
...and of course the lazy picture editor hasn't included a picture from the actual place where it happened... ::)
No wonder they both had heart attacks after swimming all the way to Petra tou Romiou from Paphos!

I think that remark was totally uncalled for. There are families grieving for their lost loved ones and you make a flippant remark like that. Very bad taste.

I want to see a British Asian Prime Minister, says David Cameron (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/david-cameron/11212217/I-want-to-see-a-British-Asian-Prime-Minister-says-David-Cameron.html)
Quote
David Cameron has said he wants to see a British Asian Prime Minister in his lifetime.
Mr Cameron made the remarks at an awards dinner in central London where Sajid Javid, the Culture secretary who is widely tipped as his successor, topped a power list of the most influential Asians in the UK.
Mr Cameron told the GG2 Leadership Awards: "Let us think big about what Britons of all backgrounds can achieve.
"When I hear 'sir', 'your honour' or 'right honourable', I want them to be followed by a British Asian name."
To cheers he added: "One day I want to hear that title 'Prime Minister' followed by a British Asian name."

A part time job where the 'lucky' candidate would be shot with paintballs for 2 hours a day with just a pair of goggles as safety equipment?
Quote
The advertised role states that whilst the paintball gun shots will be carried out and monitored by trained professionals with a wealth of experience, the role may pose a small risk of pain, discomfort and some bruising.
The job advert also states that the successful applicant may also occasionally have to wear limited items of clothing whilst the paint bullets are being tested, in order to research some "worst case" scenarios.
The successful applicant will be required to stand on the spot whilst paint balls are fired at them, but they won't have any protective gear and may also occasionally be required to be shot at with paint balls whilst in motion, such as when walking, running or jumping.
The job has flexible working hours, around one to two hours a day, and a pro rata salary of £40,000.
Just who are the 10k idiots who applied for this?? eeek:
Quote
Comments in the applications included:
"I'm a rugby player and I used to play airsoft without protection so I know physical pain. I can also break watermelon with my head.
"I always dreamed of being face-covered by paint while screaming so I think I can be the perfect tester."

Judging from some of the excerpts is it possible that Nick is related to Ed?? rubschin:
Quote
ED SETS FIRE TO HIMSELF Tuesday, March 8, 11.45pm Our house
I have just arrived home. The children are in bed and Carolyne is in the living room. I ask where Ed is and she says hes working in my office at the bottom of the garden. It is a brick summerhouse with a desk, computers, telephones and swivel chairs. Its a bitterly cold evening and I go to ask him whether he wants a coffee and to see how hes doing. As I walk down the garden path, I wave and signal that Im making a brew but he appears deep in thought. As I come closer, I nod and smile at him but things just dont seem right. He doesnt acknowledge me and is slumped in the chair. As I step onto the veranda of the summerhouse I can see through the window that his eyes look terrible, as if Ive woken him up from a snooze. I make a fuss of him as I open the door. Have I woken you up? I joke. He stares at me, my mind is racing; theres a disgusting acrid smell. What, oh, its you, he finally says. What have you done? I shout and, as I look down, I can see what hes done. For some reason he has moved a convection heater, which stands on two bricks, into the middle of the room. It is melting through the synthetic carpet, releasing toxic chemicals into the room. For Christs sake, get out! I shout, but hes not listening hes lethargic. Get out! I shout. Youll kill yourself.
I kick the convection heater on to its back and reveal a large hole burnt through both the carpet and its underlay. I grab his chair, swing it round and drive it towards the door. As the chairs feet hit the threshold, the chair stops dead, catapulting Ed on to the veranda. Hes dazed. Carolyne, I need your help, I shout as I get him a glass of water. She joins me and we sit with Ed in the garden. We wonder whether we should take him to hospital for a check-up. I think youre over-reacting a tad, says Ed, by now coming round. Well, I dont think so, I say, like an overprotective parent. Well, hes not even living here officially, is he? adds Carolyne. What would you do if he died? What would you have done with me? asks Ed, feigning upset. Well they wouldnt have found you here, I say, marvelling at the callous (and tongue in cheek!) scenario Im painting of moving his body.
We agree it will probably be safe for him to go to bed without a medical examination. Hes only been here for a few days, but hes already giving us more grief than our three lively children put together. He cant open a door and turns himself into a one-man fire hazard the moment he is left alone.
Wednesday, March 9
Ed joins us all for breakfast so we havent killed him, or should I say he hasnt poisoned himself!
Something tells me this book could be worth a read lol:
If I were his parents I'd pay up then name and shame and see how many accept his next invite . . . whistle:

The BBC is also rattling on about Izal trying to exchange this Jordanian pilot for a "Failed suicide bomber".
A successful bomber would be easier, surely? Just needs a plastic bucket or a bin-bag to send them.

According to Cyprus Police, while conducting traffic checks on the main Polemi Kallepia road members of the Paphos Police Division, halted a vehicle which, to their surprise, was driven by a 12-year-old boy.
And consenting passengers in the car where the boys parents, the dad aged 58 and the mum 47.
The 58-year-old father was arrested for allowing someone under aged to drive without insurance, drivers license, registration and MOT certificate.
The dad was charged in writing and released but will be called to appear in court at a later date.

Sounds like there might finally be an insurance policy that Nick can take out rubschin:

TOP TEN WACKY INSURANCE POLICIES ON OVER BY VIRGIN MONEY
1. Engulfed by a 'sharknado' 2. Attacked by a 100 ft tall Stay Puft marshmallow man 3. Dalek invasion 4. Attack by a world terraforming engine (ie: Superman) 5. Injury caused being pursued by a Giant from a cloud-based castle 6. Getting trampled by Godzilla 7. Attack by Decepticon (ie: Transformers) 8. Attack by heat ray from Martian tripods 9. Attack by the Loch Ness monster 10. Being given the cruciatus curse by Lord Voldemort
I'd have loved to have been able to sit in on the meeting where they put this policy together, come to think of it Nick does consulting work doesn't he.... rubschin:
Quote
A poll of 16,000 British adults recently found only 23 per cent have a life insurance policy, falling to just 15 per cent in London though rising to 31 per cent in Northern Ireland.
Darrell Evans added: 'Essentially what this tells us is that if Londoners got caught up in a row between Thor and Dark Elf Malekith over his plans to destroy the universe and restore the Dark Elves to dominance by unleashing the Aether at the centre of the Convergence in Greenwich, fewer than two in ten adults would have appropriate cover.

Quote
A local priest who ate at the restaurant - in the south-eastern province of Anambra - was alarmed at the price of meals there, let alone where the meat came from,BBC Swahili reported. He was presented with a bill of 700 Naira - around £2.20 - when the daily wage for tens of millions of Nigerians is approximately 60p. The priest said: 'The attendant noticed my reaction and told me it was the small piece of meat I had eaten that made the bill scale that high.

3D printing is taking off in a big way down here, was chatting to a couple of guys from a local company selling plastic printers the other day
We have 2 three and one eighth D printers here. The 1/8th part is being delivered monthly and will eventually lay unmade in a dusty cardboard box in the hallway whilst the magazines collect dust as they lay unread in the study. censored:
What they can do is amazing. They can even print houses and skin with them. Probably not on the same machine though........,.Unless you happen to be Nick in which case anything could happen.

I looked at the story across a number of news outlets and it does seem clear that the Ukip site was only part of the story. He was researching about extremism after a lesson and amongst other things had also looked at videos of an EDL march in Luton. Personally I'd guess that was what had been flagged up but it was something that the BBC strangely 'forgets' to mention.

G. Hertzler) and show more promise than the last series they came up with. rubschin:

I see Tracey Ermin has found her intellectual equal and married them... lol:
Quote
She was once the enfant terrible of British art, bursting into the establishment with her unmade bed. Tracey Emin, the artist, has proved she still has the power to surprise, after announcing she has married a rock. Emin, who this week opens a new exhibition in China, said she has married a large ancient stone in France, wearing her father's white funeral shroud.
She told The Art Newspaper: "It just means that at the moment I am not alone; somewhere on a hill facing the sea, there is a very beautiful ancient stone, and its not going anywhere. "It will be there, waiting for me." In a separate interview, she added: "It's in my garden, it's very nice and very impressive and I like it a lot.
"The other thing about the stone is that it could be quite monstrous and scary. Instead I saw it as a protection thing as opposed to a fearful thing." Emin's latest exhibition, I Cried Because I Love You, will be in Hong Kong until May 21. It is intended to explore the "universal" emotion of love, with the artist admitting: "Some people think it sounds sad, but I think that, for many people, they have felt tears of joy when they have really been in love."
When asked how her understanding of art had changed with age, Emin said: "I think that when we are younger, it is totally wrapped up in lust and physical conquest. "My idea of love now is so heightened and spiritual that I really am looking for a soul mate; nothing else will do. "Maybe when I was 18, I could have met someone who was my soul mate, but would not have known. I am very happy with the few people I have loved in my lifetime and I consider them to be extremely close friends. "Not everyone can say that."

Project Leer: Anti-Brexit group planned bizarre viral sex film and a poster of a naked Boris Johnson swinging on a Miley Cyrus- style wrecking ball to woo young voters Anti-Brexit campaigners have been accused of scraping the barrel today after it emerged they had planned to make a spoof 'are you in?' porn film to attract younger voters. The film, planned for various porn sites, was to show a couple having sex as the man stares at a picture of the Prime Minister and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

And, when my BiL was staying with us in Maidenhead because he was visiting The Royal Marsden everyday, somebody bought him a 'beer bag' for his birthday... redface:
It was one of those 'brew in a bag' things, you just added water then hung it up on the back of the door while it fermented...
Well, this thing inflated like a mahoosive balloon, clearly the pressure relief thing had gone wrong or something. It had a little tap on the front for draining the beer off when it finished and I decided that the best thing was to drain off some beer to reduce the pressure...
So, armed with glass I pressed the button on the tap and the whole tap came off! eeek:
Much like the video in the OP, the thing sprayed gallons of beer all over the floor, walls and ceiling... noooo:

You want to go back to a project that in the name of common sense was shelved and drill a hole into the side of a bleedin Supervolcano to see what happens underground? You do realise that the magma chamber for a Supervolcano is exponentially larger than that of a normal one because it expands laterally rather rather then vertically so you are looking at thousands of square kilometers of magma that you have no idea whether or not is eruptable and you want to create an artificial weakness in the surrounding rock by drilling almost 2 miles into it? There are certain natural forces on this planet that should never be fucked around with and a Supervolcano is at the top of that list.
In case anyone hasn't come across supervolcanoes before and isnt sure what the fuss is about, over half of Yellowstone National Park is in the Caldera of a dormant supervolcano, just to give you an idea of the scale.

Oh indeed - why not...?
Argos sell off container loads of customer returns - a mate of mine used to buy them. Some of it is crap and could be smashed up while a lot of it is good stuff that the customer returned for stupid reasons and can be flogged on ebay...
How would you dispose of all the smashed up stuff...?

Simples, BHF had a deal going with SITA to take their unusable items at cost and there was another service they were negotiating with who were offering to pay them for the stuff. If that was finalised then I give it back to BHF and they get even more cash out of it. Thumbs:

This was a fucking stupid idea to begin with. Cock ups like this are increasingly common because in a lot of cases the operator has no idea about the area you are trying to get an ambulance\fire engine\police car and so it ends up being sent somewhere completely different. It should be common sense, have an emergency services contact centres based in the county that they are meant to be covering, if you want to save money use one for all three services.

It's the lunacy of automatic parole after half the sentence has been served. Guess which Tony Blair brought that in in 2003 and which Conservative party didn't repeal it because it costs less to have rapists terrorising children than keeping them locked up
To be fair the 2015 Act removes that for child rapists and in Scotland Sturgeon ended it for all sentences.

They can afford to pull stunts like this because they convince gullible idiots that they are actually doing something good with their donations. In the main though it's publicity stunts like this or suing Games Workshop because some of their tabletop wargaming figures had 'wolf fur' on them and therefore somehow committed animal cruelty that keep them in the public eye.

While I'm the first to admit I'm no historical scholar the article feels like a case of ignoring most of the facts to that the remaining ones can be crowbarred into the writer's views. The bit about us knowing exactly what we were doing when we burned down the old Beijing Summer Palace really hacked me off. Of course Elgin knew what he was doing, he was retaliating to the brutal torture and slaughter of a delegation under a flag of truce. Given the circumstances and the fact that a number of missionaries had previously suffered a similar fate I doubt that he thought he'd have been able to go for a lesser retaliation without risking future attacks on every foreigner in the country.

Not much comparison between the greedy murdering git Rhodes and the self sacrificing Nelson
We should consign statues of Rhodes to the times when his values and deeds were seen as OK so should not be around when they've been discovered for the evils they are. Nelson's bravery and sacrifices are very much still to be lauded nowadays.
As for statues of Lee in the USA it is too simplistic to say their civil war was about slavery.

Unfortunately that wouldn't have worked with the writer's obvious agenda.

Removing statues and whitewashing parts of history to suit the PC brigade is a dangerous precedent and sets us on a darker path. After all if we cannot learn the lessons of history we are going to end up making the same mistakes again at some point.

Was Rhodes a racist bastard? Undoubtably, but he also paid for the construction of Oriel college and the creation of the Rhodes scholarship which was run by the Rhodes trust (now the Mandela Rhodes Foundation), in fact Mandela said that this was a chance to close the circle of history.
I'm not defending Rhodes in any way shape or form but there is more to his story than his actions in Africa and it would be difficult for a college to get rid of the statue of the man who paid for it's construction.

Call this a hunch but given they aren't the only budget airline out there suspect that this is the beginning of the end for Ryanair.
If canceling the flights en mass wasn't bad enough, making passengers dial a premium rate number to rebook is just taking the piss. I can't see them recovering from this public relations disaster, even sacking O'leary isn't going to make a difference at this point.

Looking at the state of the world it's clear that it is the perfect time to offload a huge amount of military equipment and bargain basement prices. If any members of the civil service or MOD are reading this the first sentence is what is known as sarcasm as looking at just how stable things are at the moment the last thing we should be doing is getting rid of equipment and downsizing the armed forces.

The Express is a seriously shite rag. And yes in comparison the Mail looks good - and that takes some doing
That incident was very famous at the time (you were likely at school you whippersnapper you) and it is hard to decide what is more incredible: that the Captain survived, that he flew again, that anyone could be so bleeding stupid misfitting 90 screws or that no one went to jail

Those who believed the Flat Earth Theory claim our planet is shaped like a flat disc instead of a sphere. Because Earth's surface looks and feels flat when we walk around it, the conspiracy theorists denounce all evidence to the contrary.

Theorists claim that satellite images and evidence pointing to a spherical Earth are part of a 'round Earth conspiracy' orchestrated by Nasa and other government agencies. Followers of the bizarre theory also claim the Earth is stationary in space rather than orbiting the sun.

That's not what happened BM, bear in mind that the responding officers had been prepped for a homicide/hostage situation while Finch thought it as just a mix up so went out to find out what was going on. He'd started to lower his hands thinking that it was all a misunderstanding that was about to be sorted out when one of the officers told him to raise his hands again so he did quickly. Unfortunately all another officer on the other side of the road was the poor bastard quickly raise his hands from close to his waist and thinking he had drawn a gun, acted. And now both his family and the officer who took the shot have to live with the consequences of that bastard's actions.
Swatting has become more prevalent over the last year or so and it was only a matter of time before a tragedy of this nature was going to happen. Personally I think that this should be treated as murder by proxy in order to dissuade any other arsehole from doing the same thing in future.

I don't think the state should have any interference on what you can or can't do to your own body - that also goes for drink, drugs, etc.
However, if you fuck your life up through your actions I don't see why the state taxpayer should be forced to bail you out afterwards...
:thumbsup:
The problem is that there is now a sense of entitlement that no matter how you fuck up your life you can get the damage repaired on the taxpayer. Combine that with the toxic environment created by the ambulance chasing parasites and you end up with a health service that will roll ever pretty much every time in order to protect itself.

The problem is that the public are forced to use pay for the government provided health system...
So yeah, they feel a sense of entitlement - they've paid for the fucker and (not unreasonably) expect it to fix them when they are broken...
I can't help but think that an insurance based system would see somewhat different lifestyle choices...

I was wondering what had happened to this nut job...
Launching a steam powered rocket up to 1800 feet to prove that the Earth is flat even though the curvature isn't visible until you reach 35,000ft give or take.
I'm sure Apey could build a routine over him not being able to get it up because of a knackered ring... whistle:

Yes and no, most of these idiots are trying to do their own version of freerunning, an urban 'sport' that grew from Parkour which was a French military training discipline developed in the 1980's aimed at getting someone from one end of an assault course to the other is the shortest time possible.

I see in the news that America has reverted back to the 90's and people are blaming computer games for violent gun crimes again. Of course a country full of nutjobs able to easily purchase firearms has nothing to do with it. They are still just talking about banning bump stocks despite the fact they essentially turn any compatible semi auto rifle in to a full auto, albeit with a slightly slower rate of fire than a regular auto.

So Venables wants us to pay for him to be unrecognisable when he is released? OK I don't have a problem with that, give me 10 minutes with him and a lump hammer and I can guarantee that not even his own mother would be able to tell it's him. cussing:
Demanding taxpayer funded plastic surgery because it's his 'right', not a fucking chance in hell I say.
I know that plenty of people are against the death penalty but a bullet to the back of the head sounds justified in his case.

Hmm I must have blinked and missed the season where every footballer in the premier league was a privileged white boy. And you wasted ten grand of taxpayers money to come up with this load of deluded horse shite? Banghead
So if the drunk had murdered people in front of her would it be OK to sue his estate?
IMHO yes and that is what he in effect did
What if you watched somebody being murdered on the tellybox - could you sue then...?
Doubt it
I've seen at least one person killed live on TV (a marshal that walked in front of a car). It wasn't pretty and I'd hopefully never see it again but with so much abstraction involved I couldn't remotely say it affected me to any extent for any length of time.
But I don't know how much it would affect me, you or the man/woman from the off licence to see a family killed slowly right in front of them through some arsehole's criminal negligence. But if I, you or the man/woman from the off licence then lost significant money as a result do we just say that's tough luck?

But the drunk didn't murder the people... that requires intent. Manslaughter perhaps...
And you see people killed on the tellybox all the time - the tower fire in London, twin towers, that bridge collapsing in the 'States.
And people watch those things 'in person'. What a fucked-up state it would be if everybody that witnesses somebody being killed gets a big payout... eeek: I mean, twin towers alone would have bankrupt the entire country...

Although you would think he would pass under it unscathed... whistle:
How do you pass under a wheel unscathed when the plane is taxiing? rubschin:
How the hell do you get your foot in the way of a jet?
Hopefully TMR can provide more details - hopefully not first hand (or should that be first foot)
I believe the chappy involved was on the headset - i.e. the bloke that walks adjacent to the pushback tug and gives instructions to the flight deck about the pushback. Once the plane is pushed out, the headset bloke advises the flight deck to "set parking brake" and then goes about removing the towing bar from the plane and tug. THE FIRST thing you do is place a chock under the nose wheel. Then you jack the bar up, unhook it at the tug end and then from the nose wheel. The bar can sometimes be a right pain to release from the nose wheel.
Seems that he didn't put a chock under the nose wheel and whlist struggling to get the bar off from the nose wheel end turned himself facing away from the plane with his foot in line with the nose wheel.
What happened next is unclear - either the pilot released the parking brake before the pushback tug and headset bloke had vacated to the side of the runway OR the parking brake failed. Either way, the plane rolled forward under idle thrust and over his foot.
The AAIB are looking into it.

Rejoice, new changes have been brought into being in order to combat the evils of telesales calls. Banghead
Every time I see one of these 'breakthroughs' it just pisses me off. In this case these so called new rules and fines will have no effect whatsoever because they ignore the most important aspect which is data procurement and the only way that is going to work is if it is made a legal requirement that the 'tick if you do not wish to receive' box is for opt out only and not a sneaky way to get people to opt in where they haven't read that paragraph before agreeing. Not to mention that the 'prior business relationship' argument is still viable as that avenue hasn't been touched by these changes.
I will say here that while a large proportion of data supply companies are legitimate and follow all of the relevant rules and regulations there are certainly those that don't and those that I came across professionally over the years soon found themselves blacklisted by whichever company I was working for and a suggestion to take a look at them along with my suspicions and any evidence I had sent to the office of the Data Commissioner.
Plus, let's be honest here. There are still over 400 call centres in the UK alone ranging in size from around 30 agents to 3-400. Now depending on the hardware used, the product being sold, the competence of the sales agent and how clearly the data has been targeted (ranging from 'virgin' data where there is just a name, address and phone number which may or may not be out of date all the way up to guaranteed sales data for the product where you have everything you need to get a sale out of that person from spending habits to financial products previously used etc) an agent will connect to somewhere between 20-140 people per day, not including false positive answerphones (which is a governed by a whole different kettle of completely useless arcane technofuckery using convoluted formulae to manually calculate how many silent calls you are allowed each day (a number which can change hourly depending on the total number of times the call centre connects to an actual person that day). Now think about how many of these calls you actually receive in a day, does that tally with OFCOM's figures and the media coverage you see about evils of sales calls and telemarketing. While I am the first to admit that there are problems in that industry and God knows I saw and dealt with enough of them while I worked in dialler management, every call centre is being tarred with the same brush. Plus the most important factor, one that gets sidelined often, is that the vast majority of the genuine rogue call centres are based overseas and while technically they can be fined the chances of getting any of that money is slim to none.
If you genuinely want to deal with the nuisance calls then there are 3 simple steps to take that will cut down the issue by at least 90%.
Work with the telecoms companies, reputable call centre consultancies and companies and the dialler manufacturers to create an industry standard beep code to play before voicemail messages. Diallers are already programmed to filter out beep code calls which frees up lines faster, makes it a hell of a lot easier for dialler managers to control the speed of the dialler and drastically reduces the risk of someone getting a silent call.
Give OFCOM their teeth back in a meaningful fashion instead of making a grand show of ramping up fines to companies that can easily afford them. In case you think they can't afford £500k, a company I once worked with that had around 350 agents across 3 sites was able to make £300,000,000 of sales in one month selling sub prime mortgages and secured loans and would usually average out at about £200-250,000,000. If you are hell bent on using fines then work with Inland Revenue to find out what the company is making and then have a blanket 10-15% fine of not only their annual profit but the directors/owners earnings as well. Plus if they were, as I've heard, quietly dropped then reinstate the potential prison terms for all management levels as well as the lesser fines for lower tier staff. Combine that with starting a program of unannounced spot checking of all UK call centres and this would be enough to have a noticeable impact on a call centre company without leading to mass redundancies not to mention hitting directors/owners who either are negligent in making sure their company is compliant or deliberately flouting rules, regulations and laws (even more so when you are talking about major companies who don't outsource call centre operations - Imagine say BT getting fined 10-15% of their overall earnings). I know from personal experience just how bloody terrifying the possibility of fines and prison terms can suddenly become when some gormless alpha type sales manager turns the dialler up to full speed without telling anyone and dropped called go through the roof (over 40% of total live connects instead of the regulated 3% max). Just as said gormless sales manager found out just how terrifying I can be when someone is stupid enough to really piss me off and I decide to go all out on them. Trust me, go down this route and dialler managers will be the only ones pacing the dialler, they will be damned certain to follow the rules and nobody will be stupid enough to try and go around them.
As I said at the start of this rant. Regulate the bloody opt out message so it can only be used for opting out of marketing. Use the same blanket fining system as for call centres but also make the sale of data an industry that requires a licence to operate in. Then you have the leverage to come down on companies that don't follow established DPA, DPA and TPS regulations like a proverbial ton of bricks.
It may be the cynic in me but I doubt the second one will ever come into being as I suspect that there are a number of government departments that would lose significant funding gained by selling their data on to the supply companies. Not to mention the hugely incestuous relationship between OFCOM and the call centre industry. When I walked away from working in call centres I did consider applying for OFCOM so that I could try and work to help the consumer until I realised that most of what they do doesn't have a real effect since their powers were nerfed.
In my opinion this is little more than a public relations exercise that will change next to nothing other than helping a few civil servants justify their salary. Breakthrough my arse!! cussing:
I've been out of the industry for years now but even so mealy mouthed bullshit like this still has me seeing red.

And if the general public thing the rest of their product range is shite they'll go bust - simples. ::)
Do you want to know the best part of this? Every branch of Iceland down here has been selling a mahoosive Greggs range for years now, they've clearly been popular and nobody has batted an eyelid..... happy002

Every time I see one of these 'breakthroughs' it just pisses me off. In this case these so called new rules and fines will have no effect whatsoever because they ignore the most important aspect which is data procurement and the only way that is going to work is if it is made a legal requirement that the 'tick if you do not wish to receive' box is for opt out only and not a sneaky way to get people to opt in where they haven't read that paragraph before agreeing. Not to mention that the 'prior business relationship' argument is still viable as that avenue hasn't been touched by these changes.
I will say here that while a large proportion of data supply companies are legitimate and follow all of the relevant rules and regulations there are certainly those that don't and those that I came across professionally over the years soon found themselves blacklisted by whichever company I was working for and a suggestion to take a look at them along with my suspicions and any evidence I had sent to the office of the Data Commissioner.
Plus, let's be honest here. There are still over 400 call centres in the UK alone ranging in size from around 30 agents to 3-400. Now depending on the hardware used, the product being sold, the competence of the sales agent and how clearly the data has been targeted (ranging from 'virgin' data where there is just a name, address and phone number which may or may not be out of date all the way up to guaranteed sales data for the product where you have everything you need to get a sale out of that person from spending habits to financial products previously used etc) an agent will connect to somewhere between 20-140 people per day, not including false positive answerphones (which is a governed by a whole different kettle of completely useless arcane technofuckery using convoluted formulae to manually calculate how many silent calls you are allowed each day (a number which can change hourly depending on the total number of times the call centre connects to an actual person that day). Now think about how many of these calls you actually receive in a day, does that tally with OFCOM's figures and the media coverage you see about evils of sales calls and telemarketing. While I am the first to admit that there are problems in that industry and God knows I saw and dealt with enough of them while I worked in dialler management, every call centre is being tarred with the same brush. Plus the most important factor, one that gets sidelined often, is that the vast majority of the genuine rogue call centres are based overseas and while technically they can be fined the chances of getting any of that money is slim to none.
If you genuinely want to deal with the nuisance calls then there are 3 simple steps to take that will cut down the issue by at least 90%.
Work with the telecoms companies, reputable call centre consultancies and companies and the dialler manufacturers to create an industry standard beep code to play before voicemail messages. Diallers are already programmed to filter out beep code calls which frees up lines faster, makes it a hell of a lot easier for dialler managers to control the speed of the dialler and drastically reduces the risk of someone getting a silent call.
Give OFCOM their teeth back in a meaningful fashion instead of making a grand show of ramping up fines to companies that can easily afford them. In case you think they can't afford £500k, a company I once worked with that had around 350 agents across 3 sites was able to make £300,000,000 of sales in one month selling sub prime mortgages and secured loans and would usually average out at about £200-250,000,000. If you are hell bent on using fines then work with Inland Revenue to find out what the company is making and then have a blanket 10-15% fine of not only their annual profit but the directors/owners earnings as well. Plus if they were, as I've heard, quietly dropped then reinstate the potential prison terms for all management levels as well as the lesser fines for lower tier staff. Combine that with starting a program of unannounced spot checking of all UK call centres and this would be enough to have a noticeable impact on a call centre company without leading to mass redundancies not to mention hitting directors/owners who either are negligent in making sure their company is compliant or deliberately flouting rules, regulations and laws (even more so when you are talking about major companies who don't outsource call centre operations - Imagine say BT getting fined 10-15% of their overall earnings). I know from personal experience just how bloody terrifying the possibility of fines and prison terms can suddenly become when some gormless alpha type sales manager turns the dialler up to full speed without telling anyone and dropped called go through the roof (over 40% of total live connects instead of the regulated 3% max). Just as said gormless sales manager found out just how terrifying I can be when someone is stupid enough to really piss me off and I decide to go all out on them. Trust me, go down this route and dialler managers will be the only ones pacing the dialler, they will be damned certain to follow the rules and nobody will be stupid enough to try and go around them.
As I said at the start of this rant. Regulate the bloody opt out message so it can only be used for opting out of marketing. Use the same blanket fining system as for call centres but also make the sale of data an industry that requires a licence to operate in. Then you have the leverage to come down on companies that don't follow established DPA, DPA and TPS regulations like a proverbial ton of bricks.
It may be the cynic in me but I doubt the second one will ever come into being as I suspect that there are a number of government departments that would lose significant funding gained by selling their data on to the supply companies. Not to mention the hugely incestuous relationship between OFCOM and the call centre industry. When I walked away from working in call centres I did consider applying for OFCOM so that I could try and work to help the consumer until I realised that most of what they do doesn't have a real effect since their powers were nerfed.
In my opinion this is little more than a public relations exercise that will change next to nothing other than helping a few civil servants justify their salary. Breakthrough my arse!! cussing:

The other way is to copy that wheeze where the guy took out a premium rate number and put that on all the forms so the stupid call centres paid him for the privilege of pestering
Other than that it has to be jail terms and we tell BT (who own the connections) to not let any calls in from India unless they have a traceable ID linked to money we can access for fines

Best I think twice about that Black and Decker wheeze then
Of course it doesn't, any more then Harry Potter and Inigo Montoya show that facial scars automatically make the character a good person. The problem isn't the scars, it's an increasing trend of lazy scriptwriting and minimal (at best) character development.

A behavioural agreement for comedians performing at a charity gig? So what would he have been left with after having to sign it? Knock knock jokes? noooo:
I know its in the Fail but it's an interesting follow on article written by one of the comedians who when asked to sign the agreement cancelled his gig instead.
Quote
After all, I've been a stand-up comedian for three years now I'm used to contracts and the gig wasn't until January. What possible surprises could there be?
As it turned out, its contents were as depressing as they were alarming.
Scrolling through the small print, I found something plucked out of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four called a 'behavioural agreement form', which prescribed an endless list of themes I couldn't make jokes about: 'Racism, sexism, classism, ageism, ableism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, xenophobia, Islamophobia or anti-religion or anti-atheism.' Phew!
I can just imagine the response if Apey had been sent a contract like that. Tell the potential client to bugger off and then start writing a new show that included everything that was banned. noooo:
Quote
Soon after I went public with this ridiculous invitation, I was asked to perform at Comedy Unleashed, a new comedy club set up in London to discourage self-censorship and promote freedom of expression.
I read out the behavioural agreement form and got a few nice laughs. I then announced that I would be doing my normal set in the spirit of SOAS's rules to be 'respectful and kind'.
'Hello, my name is Konstantin Kisin,' I announced. 'Thank you very much good night!'

If you look to the horizon on the left of the image you can see another cargo ship anchored, now unless there are a load of ships seeking safe harbour for weather conditions that's the normal distance they are from the coast. So even if the owners are trying to claim that the incoming tide is strong enough to drag an anchored vessel of that size into the shore which would preclude using the bay as a safe harbour the only logical cause for this is crew error.

There are times I read the news and wonder if I've fallen through the looking glass, having read this I wonder if I've gone back in time. The changes to the laws and regulations that the Fail is celebrating victory over were in place years ago back when I was running predictive diallers. The problem isn't the just call centres as the reputable ones can only use the data that they have been supplied, it's the sources of the data. How many people do you think read that little tick box section at the bottom of a form that 'everybody' knows is the 'tick if you do not wish to receive' option? If you just blindly fill in the box then congratulations, there is a good chance that you've just given permission to be contacted as in a lot of cases the wording is changed to opt IN rather than out.
I know that there is a negative perception of the industry and that there have been supposed changes meant to improve things but have only really amounted to using arcane technofuckery to create formulas to calculate solutions instead of using common sense to fix them. The media doesn't help in cases like this because when an outlet sounds the call for the next crusade it's clear that whoever is leading the charge has no idea at all of what is involved or what would actually be required to fix the issues. That is why we get the same thing happening over and over again where they are fobbed off with some clever wording that makes something that is already in place look new and shiny.

It's an idea I had a while ago: take 9 old oil rigs and connect them in a 3x3 grid with secure covered walkways within a rigid frame to securely hold all 9 in place with the centre one turned into a communal open area and one used as the entrance/prisoner and delivery processing/guard and staff accommodation. Build the rest up into prison blocks and once moored so far out into the Atlantic that escape becomes suicidal and hey presto, secure prison.

The language fanatics down here "wouldn't sully the pristine Cornish tongue with such profanity" as I've been told. I'm more inclined to believe that they don't see the point in swearing at someone if they can't understand the insults. rubschin:

4 months in prison and having to pay $5k towards his victim's funeral costs? Are you fucking kidding me. This con artist is directly responsible for the tortured death of that kid and that is all you sentence him with? he deserves far more than that, at the very least he should be banned from receiving any conventional medical treatment in the US, let him use the crap he foists off on his victims instead.
Morrow was sentenced to four months in jail for practising medicine without a license, as well as one count of child abuse likely to produce great bodily injury or death. He was also ordered to pay $5,000 to the victims family for funeral costs.

A knife Tsar? Are you fucking kidding me? If you want to deal with knife crime it's simple.
Increase stop and search A minimum sentence of anyone convicted of carrying a knife without good cause of at least 10 years in prison without parole. A minimum sentence of anyone convicted of attacking someone with a knife of at least 15-20 years in prison without parole. A whole life sentence without parole for murder. Make prisons less like holiday camps and more like actual punishment so as to act as a deterrent.

I've been following this case fairly closely as my Brother and his family live in Chicago and the level of what I strongly believe is corruption from the prosecutors office meant that the vote of no confidence was guarranteed to happen. The decision to drop the charges against Smolett was just the final straw piled upon a police force who feel that they have no support from you leading to what could easily be described as protection of criminal leading to an increase in crime. Just the fact that you lied about recusing yourself from the Smollett case (which would have automatically lead to a Special Prosecutor being assigned, something that would in all likelyhood resulted in a court appearance) shows that you are not fit to stay in office. So no Kim, it's not because of your race, it's because you have shown a level of either total incomeptence or corruption that led to your position being untenable
This is the press conference called when the Cook County police called for her to resign.
Is there anyone who after listening to their concerns and experiences with the Prosecutor's office who thinks that this is purely down to racism? Only the terminally bleedin gormless.

Where I am, between the holiday homes and the properties bought up to be converted into student housing I gave up on getting on the property ladder years ago. As much as the local council makes noise about HMOs they have done absolutely bugger all about it.
Unless you want to hamstring yourself by either getting a static caravan (£60-70k+) or forking out for a holiday home you can only stay in for 10 months a year (£150k+) you are realistically looking at £450-500k on the low end if you are lucky so for a first time buyer given the average salaries and wages down here you are pretty much buggered even if you are desperate enough to try for a 100% mortgage.

The council wanted a university because they thought the increased student numbers would have money rolling in throughout the year not just during the tourist season or from retirees who have moved down here to make up for the lost income from exorbitant business rates (usually at least as high as the building rent) due to the amount of places closing down, Hell even M&S shut down and left and that place was an institution here since 1933. Unfortunately they were so blinded by the thought of the money they never considered the infrastructure upgrades that would need to be in place for a massive increase in numbers for it to be both viable for the students and fair for the existing population.

Just how bleedin deluded do you have to be to stand up in front of an audience and demand a $20 minimum wage days after it had been raised to $15 despite estimates that it could cost up to 3.7 million jobs.

Bollocks isn't it. When will people get their heads around the problem instead of the symptom? And the problem is we have over a million people (and the US even more) that aren't worth employing at NMW rate per hour. Raise it and even more won't be worth legallly employing

I forgot to add that Bernie Sanders has also been buggered by the minimum wage row as while he's happy to call for it across the board he had to pull a fast one and cut staff hours in order for them to make that amount. noooo:

Sanders hasn't cut staff just the maximum amount of hours they can work (not that this approach helps staff who can't afford to feed their families as things stand). He either believes in Harry Potter and timeturners so thinks that the staff can do the same job in a shorter amount of time or he's banking on unpaid volunteers to pick up the slack, which will open up a whole new can of worms regarding labour laws. Either way he's likely fucked over this as I can see staffers jumping ship as soon as a better paying popsition becomes available.

This bollocks really pisses me off, it's the same hackneyed argument that's been used for years despite the wealth of evidence to the contrary. Even if you just look at the figures comparing the amount of people who play 'violent' video games to the number of shootings supposedly caused by them and you end up with it being something close to 0.0001% of gamers. Hell if that isn't enough for you compare China, Japan and South Korea to America, as that those three countries have the largest concentration of gamers globally the news should be full of similar events happening there and yet there is nothing. Hell according to these idiots I should have already gone on the rampage given that over the last 30 odd years I've played a hell of a lot of FPS games including Doom, Wolfenstein, Fallout, COD, Medal of Honour, Manhunt et al. It's just easier to blame the games industry rather than look at more uncomfortable factors like poor parenting or a lack of resources for psychological assessment and treatment.

'At his meeting with President Macron yesterday, the PM was keen to praise the links between France and Brexit-supporting Lincolnshire, pointing out that French trains ran on steel tracks made in that county. The history between the two runs deeper. When the Normans invaded, they came first to Nottingham, then called Snotingham. Legend has it that the occupying force struggled with the pronunciation and dropped the S. The invaders were taken aback when this move ended up being so sternly resisted in Lincolnshire, chiefly by the people of Scunthorpe.'

Harman is basically a normal person you happen to disagree with (so do I). Corbyn's an utter far left looney
Harman normal?
The identitarian harridan who was hell bent on having female only candidate lists for constituencies regardless of the ability of those on said list.
The woman who was full of praise and support for the PIE including appearing on a press release proposing lowering the age of consent to 14.
The woman who is so bloody stupid that her blog account was hacked because she used Harriet as a login and Harman as a password, something she later admitted to during an interview on Sky.
The woman who is so arrogant that she tried to change the rules and exempt MP's expenses from freedom of information requests so that we plebs couldn't see what money was being wasted on.
The woman who proposed changed to the discrimination laws that meant employers would be legally allowed to discriminiate on the basis of race or gender where candidates are equally qualified despite it being in contravention of article 14 of the ECHR
And that's just what I can come up with off the top of my head.
She may not be as deranged as Corbyn but she is by no means a viable candidate for leadership.

Have I fallen through the looking glass? An illegal immigrant who has already been deported 5 times gets their hands on a stolen firearm and shoots a young women in the back killing her. An open and shut case you might think but you would be wrong. Now the appeals court has overturned his conviction because that the jury wasn't given the option of acquitting him on the theory that he had only held the weapon for a moment. I'm sorry but which bloody idiot came up with that gem. The weapon had been stolen from a Bureau of Land Management ranger which would suggest that it would be in good condition and unlikely to go off unless the trigger was pulled. The guy admitted firing the gun so that narrows it down to a deliberate or negligent act which means he is guilty of either murder or negligent homicide and that's before you take into account that if he hadn't entered the country illegally AGAIN he wouldn't have been in a position to kill the woman in the first place.
Ah but of course this is San Francisco, the sanctuary city and surprise surprise the wrongful death lawsuit brought by her family against the city claiming that their sanctuary policy and San Francisco County Sheriff bore responsibility for her death was tossed out.

So he somehow managed to pick up the gun in just the right way that even wrapped in a tshirt he was able to apply enough trigger pressure to fire it? The average trigger pull weight for a semi automatic pistol is around 6-7lbs of pressure plus you have an initial take up before that starts to be applied and that doesn't factor in that is was supposed to be wrapped up at the time. While I'm the first to admit it's been a good few years since my shooting days his account sounds weak as hell to me.
Plus like I said, if he hadn't illegally entered the country for a sixth time he wouldn't have been in the position to fire it in the first place.

And that's why we have higher courts of law. They reject the extraneous about his background and look at the issue at hand. As sadly countless cases in the USA have shown, even a child can pick up a gun and it accidentally fires
The possibility should have been put to the jury, the original judge seems to have been biased by the man's background
It'll go to retrial, you know the probable outcome Fox News carefully didn't mention, biased reporting is what they do
Title: Re: Fantastic Headlines
Post by: Grumpmeister on September 01, 2019, 07:41:07 PM
Ok if you are concerned with biased reporting here's the CNN coverage as they would place themselves on the other side of the political spectrum. Reading that it would appear that he somehow managed to simultaneously set it off by stepping on it, aiming at a seal and unwrapping (that last one I'm more than a little sceptical of given they found GSR on his hand) it then tried to get rid of the evidence by throwing the gun into the sea. Changing your version of events the way this guy seems to have done is hardly going to work wonders for his credibility, especially as police interviews are recorded as standard .
Quote
Surveillance video showed Garcia Zarate running away. After his arrest, investigators found gunshot residue on his right hand, prosecutor Diana Garcia told jurors. Garcia Zarate faced a charge of second-degree murder, but jurors also were allowed to consider first-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter convictions.
Prosecutors said Garcia Zarate was playing his own "secret version of Russian roulette" and deliberately fired into an unsuspecting crowd on the pier, killing Steinle. Defense attorney Matt Gonzalez said Garcia Zarate found the gun at the pier. He said it was wrapped in cloth, and when Garcia Zarate unwrapped it, the gun accidentally discharged.
But in a police interrogation, Garcia Zarate admitted to firing the gun, saying he was aiming at a seal.
He told police that he stepped on the gun, causing it to fire.
Prosecutors said Garcia Zarate immediately tried to cover his tracks by throwing the gun into the San Francisco Bay, then fleeing the scene.
Now as far as the extraneous part of this is concerned, it's an argument that doesn't hold water unless you are claiming that her getting shot was preordained. He chose to enter America illegally for the sixth time, if he hadn't then he would not have been in a position to fire the weapon. Yes there are countless tragic cases in America where children have picked up an unsecured firearm and is has gone off accidentally but in each case the child had pulled the trigger most likely not realising that it was a real gun. Zarate is an adult, even without any firearms training he would be old enough to understand what a gun it, what it can do and that you do not just discharge a firearm in a public place without either aiming it or making sure it was unloaded hence my saying that he could alternatively be guilty of negligent homicide as opposed to murder.

Post by: Steve on September 01, 2019, 07:56:05 PM
Murder doesn't work that way. There has to be specific causality not that 'if he hadn't been in the country' trash. The murder charge was thrown out years back because his claim that the gun went off accidentally was frankly the most credible
This 2019 issue was a clear mistrial on a possession charge and there will be almost certainly be a retrial. A point Fox news chose to carefully not mention
Title: Re: Fantastic Headlines
Post by: Grumpmeister on September 01, 2019, 08:37:18 PM
If it was the most credible why did he have 3 completely different versions of what happened, had they been essentially the same with some minor deviations then fair enough you could attribute that to shock.
As far as bias and credibility is concerned you may find this interesting. If you look at the overall breakdown as opposed to political affiliation Fox News, CNN and the New York Times are all pretty much seen to be as credible as each other.
Partisan news media is a problem, one far more prevalent in America than over here. Hell if you want a good example then take a look at Rachel Maddow's deranged conspiracy tirade over the last couple of years or the New York Time's recent hypocritical argument that it's fine for their journalists to go trawling through someone's online history for anything controversial but that the public shouldn't be allowed to do the same thing with their journalists, Fox is right leaning but they have never claimed to be anything else. Years ago there was a line I heard on Babylon 5 that stuck with me 'Understanding is a 3 edged sword, your side, their side and the truth' It's why I end up going through such a wide range of American news sites from both sides of the spectrum. In this case the coverage of each of the news outlets had holes in them.
Regardless, there unarguable facts about the case are that he is a serial offender who has been repeatedly deported, he chose to be on that pier illegally and was in possession of the firearm that killed an innocent woman with a single bullet to the back. Whether or not it was a malicious act or down to gross negligence on his part by his actions he is still responsible for her death.

Fox news is trusted by many just like the Daily Misery is. Doesn't make it true
Ask yourself why didn't Fox mention that casting aside a verdict because of a mistrial still allows a retrial - because it didn't suit their agenda
All in all it's a bizarre and sad case. Very believable he just picked up the gun and it went off, very unlikely it was murder as not too many murders bounce shots off concrete to kill their victims
And loaded and cocked guns do go off accidentally just when of many sad examples (https://abcnews.go.com/US/year-boy-dies-accidentally-shooting-face-chicago-police/story?id=64630018)
Was he in possession and therefore guilty on this last charge? Well imho probably unless he didn't see it was a gun and picked up the shirt not realising what it was hiding. But he still deserves the fair trial he manifestly did not receive
None of this is going to bring the victim back nor prevent him being deported yet again

Why hypocritical I hear you ask? Well while the NRA has made some decisions and statements in the past that could be described as anything from ill advised to reprehensible they have neither carried out nor endorsed any terrorist activities, in fact they have condemned the recent mass shootings. Members of Antifa on the other had have, in the last couple of months, carried out 2 terrorist attacks on ICE facilities which only by pure luck or incompetence didn't cause any deaths yet where is the condemnation for their acts?

A feminist version of Monopoly has been released that is supposed to celebrate women's empowerment and does so by giving the female players more money than male players at the start in order to create a game where women make more then men? So what you are saying is that women can't play the game well so in order for them to get ahead and win the game you are going to give them an additional handout?
How on earth does saying that women aren't good enough to succeed on an equal basis promote empowerment?

Hobbit Humphrey: Parents keep babys sex a secret to avoid gender bias (https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/hobbit-humphrey-parents-keep-baby-s-sex-a-secret-to-avoid-gender-bias-z0rgfb7js)
Quote
A couple are bringing up a gender-neutral child by keeping its sex a secret even from close family.
Hobbit Humphrey, 38, and Jake England-Johns, 35, call their 17-month-old by the pronoun they and dress them in both girls and boys clothing.
They admit that the approach has resulted in some pretty confused looks from old ladies in the park. Even the childs grandmother discovered their sex only at 11 months when she changed a nappy.

Hobbit Humphrey: Parents keep babys sex a secret to avoid gender bias (https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/hobbit-humphrey-parents-keep-baby-s-sex-a-secret-to-avoid-gender-bias-z0rgfb7js)
Quote
A couple are bringing up a gender-neutral child by keeping its sex a secret even from close family.
Hobbit Humphrey, 38, and Jake England-Johns, 35, call their 17-month-old by the pronoun they and dress them in both girls and boys clothing.
They admit that the approach has resulted in some pretty confused looks from old ladies in the park. Even the childs grandmother discovered their sex only at 11 months when she changed a nappy.

FFS 'poisoned for life', 'traumatised for life'. You were ACCIDENTALLY served a meat product not deliberately exposed to something, get some fucking perspective. What the hell has happened to people? Back when I was a student (and just to clarify something, at that point I had given up meat) if something like that had happened I'd have gone back to the shop, asked for what I had actually ordered, chalked it up to a mistake and carried on with my day. If people are having complete meltdowns over something this bleedin' trivial then how are we supposed to have any faith in the ability of the next generation to handle genuine crises?

In all honesty, given her overblown drama queen poisoned/traumatised for life response to what happened I am to say at the very least sceptical about her description of the reaction from the branch manager and head office. The responses would fit if all she had done was contact them to say she had been given the wrong product and telling head office she was a vegan.

But you're guessing
Merely offering a refund for giving her the wrong product suggests they did not want any proper investigation as to whether this was a systematic or even an employee discipline issue
A pub I used to go to had an employee that would substitute meat sausages for veggie ones if he felt like it - they sacked him
I once was given a meat takeaway burger by McDees instead of the veggie one I'd ordered. How did I find out? The manager chased after me in the street and profusely apologised
But no I'm not defending her wish for 15 minutes of histrionics loaded fame. As I said, fault on both sides

Call me a heartless bastard if you want but I'd have to ask just how many other people could have been helped using the money that has been spent on you to date. How many cases have there been where people haven't had the medication they could have had because it was too expensive, the over 1 million pounds you have cost could have made a difference to the lives of a great many people who had no choice in their circumstances.

Why wasn't Greta awarded the Nobel Peace Prize? Simple, she hadn't done anything to earn it. Bunking off school, taking a yacht trip which cost more in carbon emissions that flying to America would have and throwing a strop at the UN General Assembly does not, in any way, qualify someone to be worthy of said award.

Welcome to the wonderful world of grievance studies, the new academic frontier. On the bright side there are those who have been butting heads against the wokification of the academic establishment. James Lindsay, Peter Boghossian and Helen Pluckrose are probably the most (in)famous of them after they wrote and submitted 20 academic papers over the course of a year to see what the reaction would be. Now you may think that doesn't sound like any kind of resistance, at least not until you realise that the papers included a feminist adaptated version of Mein Kampf which was accepted by a social work journal, one that developed the concept of 'fat bodybuilding' and another that analysed 'rape culture' by monitoring dog-humping incidents at a number of parks. The scary thing is that they didn't trick anyone to get the papers submitted, they all fit in with the agendas and biases of the relevant groups and publications.

Am I missing something here? A new law in California limits freelance journalists to writing 35 articles a year. I know a couple of freelancers and given the articles are paid by the word they write more pieces than that a month just to pay the bills. All I can see happening from this is an exodus of freelancers.

AB5 is basically just a law (and wider than journalism) that stops employers misclassifying employees as self employed (so they can dodge their obligations)

I suspect that there are going to be more problems with the law and the damage to the freelance journalism industry is only the first one to be realised. Anyone with even half a brain would be able to see that limiting the number of articles a freelancer is allowed to write is going to catastrophically impact their income so I can't imagine it is going to be the only way they have buggered it up.

if you're writing more than 35 articles for one publication you're not really a freelancer, you're an employee colluding with the employer to gain an unfair advantage over publications and writers that do it honestly
Did I mention that faux self employed fiddles make my blood boil? No one ever let me claim my cost of getting to work off my tax, no one ever let me pay a reduced stamp and still claim NHS care and a state pension, no one ever let me claim cost of my clothes as tax deductible expenses etc etc

A base issue is that developed nation governments just love making vote winning social promises and then burdening honest employers with the cost and effort of implementing them.

The problem with the AB5 approach to freelance journalists makes no sense. All that is going to happen is that the news companies based in California will employ freelancers from out of the state which bypasses the law. There have already been over 7000 job losses in the American news media industry so far this year, how does that help those living in California because it's not going to force the companies to employ them full time.

Government intervention can help but the problem we have at the moment both here and in America is that we have a crop of politicians who have come up from a political environment with no skills or experience relevant to the real world. Because of that they are completely removed from the issues and end up with 'advisors', AB5 is a case in point. Looking at the way it has been set up at least for freelance journalists I'd suspect that the unions had a hand in putting the bill together as freelancers are less likely to join.

Doesn't work as I read it. There's no geographical limitation. If a publication uses the same supposed freelancer in say New York 36 times then it is the publication that has to treat them as an employee
And the law isn't really a change, it just codifies an existing court decision
The real solution is to make governments find the cost of their social promises through taxes they have to defend at the ballot box and not this idiot burdening of the good employers for daring to give people jobs

Nationalise Openreach, BT Consumer and BT Enterprise and you think it will only cost a little over £15 billion and you can run the fibre infrastructure of the nation for a measly £230 million a year which will be paid for by a hefty new tax on major multinational corporations? Banghead
Were you born this bloody stupid or did you have to work at it. For starters, there is no way that the purchase and operational costs will be anywhere near that cheap plus bear in mind that BT is currently able to offset a massive chunk of their fibre operational and maintenance costs by allowing other providers to rent capacity, something that will end if you are going to supply a state owned 'free' broadband (I'm not going to touch on the obvious censorship concerns as they go without saying). Secondly, you claim that you will be able to fund the this debacle by taxing multinational companies like Amazon, Google, GE and Facebook. Let me tell you what will happen the moment you try to pull this crap..................THEY WILL MOVE THEIR OPERATIONS OVERSEAS and you can guarantee that a greedy EU will be more than happy to bend their own regulations to entice them you blithering idiot

Most Burger Kings are franchises so the owners can't afford to fork out thousands on a new broiler to cook the patties or haven't got the space to fit an additional one and even if they could they would have to shut down while it was being installed. Plus they can't guarantee that they would sell enough to justify the expense.

Place I worked in when I was a lot younger had a drunk 'chef' (and I use that term extremely loosely), the owner's dog would stick it's nose into anything interesting it found in the kitchen and the last day I worked there I found the chef scraping mould off the veg so it could be re used.

A statue of Jesus in India mysteriously began dripping water from its toes. Worshippers started collecting it and drinking it believing it was holy. The source of the water was later found to be a clogged toilet near the statue. (https://www.reddit.com/r/Wellthatsucks/comments/dx70fo/a_statue_of_jesus_in_india_mysteriously_began/)

For all those of you who thinks skynet is here you may want to pass on reading this. IBM created an AI that has been able to debate humans on the dangers of artificial intelligence...
Quote
On the proposition side, arguing that AI will bring more harm than good, Project Debaters opening remarks were darkly ironic. AI can cause a lot of harm, it said. AI will not be able to make a decision that is the morally correct one, because morality is unique to humans.

Ok, so you've ended up serving 9 years on a 3 year sentence for street robbery because you are on an IPP. Just a quick question. Why were you hauled back in? I can't see that happening without a good reason.

Despite the minimum tariff being two years and nine months, the father-of-two and stepfather-of-two ended up serving almost nine years in total after twice being recalled to jail.

The posts on the social media platform had been translated from Burmese into English as President Xi Jinping continued his state visit in Myanmar, Southeast Asia.
Facebook Inc has since apologised for any offence caused and said that the problem has now been fixed.

And yet again some gormless fuckwit trying to appeal to the electorate trots out this bullshit argument about computer games causing violence and help teach school shooters how to kill. It's about as sensible an argument as heavy metal albums having satanic messages in them if you play them backwards. I know that I've gone on about this in the past but it's just a level of ignorance by people playing on fear in order to score political points that pisses me off.
The only correlation that you have concerning computer games and shootings is coincidental. The games industry currently makes significantly more money than Hollywood and playing games is popular with people of all ages INCLUDING THOSE IN SCHOOL! I've gone through any number of shooters over the years, hell even Baldymort played Doom back in the day so does that make him a raging psychopath by default because he was running around with a chainsaw carving up demons?
If you really want to do something about school shootings then involve the FBI Behavioural Science Division. When it was in it's infancy John Douglas and his team interviewed serial killers and other violent criminals all over the country (Douglas himself interviewed infamous figures such as David Berkowitz, Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Charles Manson, Lynette Fromme, Sara Jane Moore, Edmund Kemper, James Earl Ray, Sirhan Sirhan, Richard Speck, Donald Harvey, Gary Ridgway and Joseph Paul Franklin) in order to correlate behaviours and develop profiling techniques that would allow law enforcement officers to be able to predict and/or catch offenders. Do you seriously think that if they were given the resources, a clear objective and free reign they couldn't come up with the tools to identify potential shooters while still in school so that they could be investigated before another incident occurs?
But no, something like this would never happen because it's so much easier to just trot out the same scapegoat again and again in whichever incarnation it is this time.

They said the teenager, who was wearing a tag at the time he was killed on Monday afternoon, had once been 'badly behaved' but was getting his life back on track.
But they fear he may have been caught up in a 'postcode war' among rival gangs.
The first attack on Louis came at 11am. The second followed a youth offending team meeting in Battersea, where staff offered him a £50 Tesco voucher if he was home with his mother by 6pm.

The moment the pilot of an aircraft says the flight has to turn back and return to the airport, it could trigger a sense of panic when your mind races through all the dangerous ways you might die in a plane. However, in a rather interesting case, it was a harmless baby that made a flight return around.
Everything seemed to be going fine on the Saudi Arabian Airlines flight that was scheduled to do a trip from Saudi Arabia to Malaysia. When the Flight SV832 began its journey, a young mother got the shock of her life when she realized her baby was not with her and was still at the airport's terminal, as reported by The Guardian.

Out of interest I watched the State of the Union address and it's just highlighted the fact that the Democrats are imploding and have nothing to offer unless you are a deranged identitarian or hard left winger. But to see the speaker tearing up her copy of the Speech just because Trump didn't shake her hand just makes her come across as a child throwing a tantrum. Considering all the crap that's been exposed about the impeachment proceedings are you really surprised that he would snub you when you offered him your hand? All you have managed to do is make yourself a laughing stock among the centre and moderates that you so desperately need to entice if you were to even have a hope of getting a Democrat into the White House this year.

Her behaviour is a prime example of exactly what is wrong with the Democratic Party. A mature politician would have taken the opportunity during the rebuttal to argue against the points he has made instead of acting like a child for the sake of opposing Trump. It's just the latest of many incidents that are going to hand him the Presidency again later this year.

He blew it the moment the clip of him bragging about his quid pro quo escapade with the Ukrainian prosecutor resurfaced. His gaffes since then have just added to the reasons he won't get the nomination unless the DNC has completely lost the plot. Given that they cheated and changed their own rules to allow Bloomberg to speak at the debates (I'm guessing the hundreds of thousands of dollars he has donated to the party are purely coincidental and have nothing at all to do with the decision) suggests they have already picked their replacement.
To be honest I don't think it's going to matter who the Democrats name as their candidate, given the state of the economy, the record low levels of unemployment and improvements in the standards of living for the lowest paid workers, unless something goes drastically wrong for him Trump will get voted in for a second term.

It's sarcasm and frankly she has a point the way the republicans have decided that women are to have no rights over their own wombs
Yes she has a point but so do the republicans, the reason the law was put in place in Alabama was in response to one proposed by Democrats in Virginia 2 months prior that remove restrictions so much that late term abortions would be possible up to the point of labour.
This quote is from an interview with the then Governor of Virginia, while the Republican response was a knee jerk one can you blame them after hearing something this horrific?
Quote
"When we talk about third-trimester abortions, these are done with the consent of obviously the mother, with the consent of the physicians, more than one physician, by the way," Northam said. "And it's done in cases where there may be severe deformities, there may be a fetus that's non-viable. So in this particular example, if a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother. So I think this was really blown out of proportion."
Now I've made this point before but if an infant has been resuscitated and made comfortable doesn't that indicate that it is viable and if you are talking about ending it's life after the birth then it jumps from abortion to infanticide. You can make the argument that Northam's spokesperson did that he didn't agree with infanticide but he is an experienced long term politician who would know better than to describe something so obviously polarizing in such a cavalier fashion.
All this bill is likely to do is add to the increasing image that the Democrats now have of being at best idiots if not deranged. Something tells me that the more news articles like this that they generate the more likely that the 2020 election results are going to make Labour's wipe out look like a minor event. I can see them losing additional seats in the Senate as well as losing control of the House entirely.

While I doubt that this will ever happen it's certainly an interesting situation, if a little simplified by CNN. The rural residents aren't 'fed up with living under Democratic control of their state government', they are however fed up with increasing laws and state legislature that are more geared towards the urban centres such as Portland which negatively affect them.

Bet Tadley residents are just delighted that not only won't they get a Lidl but their house prices just took a tumble too
Tadley was 4 houses and a pub until the early 50's when the airfield was converted to A-bomb central. House prices have no doubt reflected that all along. I suspect vested interests are at work as there is large Sainsburys very near the proposed site. About 150 yards as the Alpha particle flies. They recently gave permission for a large housing estate between the proposed Lidl and the nukes.

Increasing the bargaining power of the unions Imposing racial and gender pay equity provisions Diversity on corporate boards Increase use of minority owned banks by Federal offices. Cancel all debt owed to the Treasury by the US Postal service Increased fuel emission standards and mandatory carbon offsets for airlines Tax credits for alternative energy programs Student loan payment deferment Suspending various aspects of immigration laws Imposing requirements on states for early voting, postal voting, required mailing of absentee ballots to everyone and ballot harvesting. Imposing online voter registration and same day registration.
Now what the fuck does any of that have to do with the current crisis, at a stretch the only one I can see out of that which is even slightly relevant would be student loan deferment given that the universities are currently closed.

Supporting businesses so that they don't collapse and destroy the economy is just common bloody sense and also means that when things finally get back to something resembling normality people will have jobs to go back to.
And as for medical equipment, firstly shortages are primarily a consequence of globalisation as most countries have sourced production overseas long before now. While companies based in America are stepping up they are still have to either modify existing or set up production lines completely from scratch which takes time. Secondly wasn't recently Cuomo caught on camera answering a question saying they had thousands of ventilators in reserve which weren't needed yet?

The package isn't perfect, that's a given, but it was the best a bipartisan effort could manage because the senate can see that people desperately need help right now. The important thing at the moment is to get the support to where it is needed, the partisan 'orange man bad' shite needs to be put on hold until the crisis is over.

Is a bit of a waste of time, everyone knows Trump fucked up
Perhaps, although his approval rating over his handling of the crisis would suggest that Americans disagree there. But if they do go after Trump over this they stand to lose a hell of a lot more.
Cuomo knew back in 2015 that New York would be short of over 16000 ventilators in the event of a pandemic but chose to put together a rationing plan instead of dealing with the shortfall While Trump may have continued it, the Obama administration chose not to replace the 100,000,000 N95 masks sent overseas during the Ebola crisis instead put the money towards developing a new kind of mask. Pelosi, Cuomo and DeBlasio all told Americans to go out and congregate in Chinatown after Trump announced the travel ban from China.
Let's also not forget that there are a number of Democrat run cities with a rampant homeless problem that has led to people using the streets as toilets causing incidents of diseases in some cases not seen since the middle ages such as bubonic plague. With the amount of people that have these pre-existing conditions Corona is going to sweep through there.
Yes there were things that with the benefit of hindsight Trump could have done better but with China, the WHO and the media downplaying the severity of the outbreak he was limited in what he'd be able to accomplish.

That's already starting, people were already getting cynical about the media as shown by a recent Gallup pole that gave Trump a higher trust rating than they had. Plus we've known about the nut jobs like Maddow and Stelter for years but it's even more apparent now that Trevor Noah and co are having to present shows from their homes without the benefit of a team of public relations geniuses to make them seem like they aren't idiots.

Trump's popularity went up to that high when he told the USA it'd be over by Easter after weeks of telling them Covid was no big deal, well it isn't is it as even he has been forced to admit and the media that said it wouldn't, turn out to be the ones that were right.
Reality might be about to bite the USA very badly. Even Trump admitting it might be 200,000 deaths IF people obey the rules he was telling them to ignore

The factor that you are overlooking is that the Federal government is in place to support City and State leadership not provide them with all the resources in advance other than their budget. Yes there are some things that Trump could have done differently but that wouldn't change the fact that other than making national level decisions such as the travel ban, creating the taskforce or enacting the DPA to try and make up the shortfall in supplies caused by mismanagement at the state level all he can do is provide support to the local state governments. Plus bear in mind that Trump has also been railing about the dangers of outsourcing manufacturing to China for years now, something that his detractors had been attacking him over by saying it was nothing more than a racist or nationalist rant.

Nope, the point was the Federal government was in effect telling people to ignore all the safety advice/instruction the states were giving

A global shortage of face masks and PPE and there are stupid bints out there turning them into bloody bikinis for a few clicks on social media? Banghead
You can argue that it's only a few masks but its a few more that could have helped people at the sharp end.

He was unlucky and the world lucky that he managed to pick on just about the only armoured cruise liner in the world. If his gang of naval thus had kidnapped it or worse sunk it we could be in a serious war by now

A daily attendance allowance when you are actually in the chamber is one thing, even if I do have reservations about the system being misused but demanding it for working (and I do use that term loosely) from home is just taking the piss. You are using the computer you already own to connect via the internet connection you already have so what expenses are we covering? Regardless of whether it was genuinely earned, inherited, bought or gifted for cronyism any peer worth their salt would be demanding that their allowance gets put into a bonus fund for front line NHS staff.

Barely a couple of days later and one is already at it again. I hate being right in cases like this, I just fear that there will be far more serious crimes committed by the others who were released. It's high time that laws are put in place that hold people responsible for the consequences of their deciding to release prisoners early for any reason.

He's going to go to jail if he keeps issuing market manipulating stuff like that
Surely when people are trying to manipulate the market they are doing so in a way that will benefit them though.

If you want to deal with the problems you have with the police in Minneapolis then contact the State Police or IA from a different state and ask them to perform a root and branch investigation, hell you could even ask the FBI just make sure that the entire process and any subsequent criminal proceedings are make completely transparent.
And LA is just as bad. How many police officers are going to be sacrificed because you've decided to defund them by $150m for a bend the knee publicity stunt? Just under 12,5000,000 people live in LA
Have any of these idiots even considered what it will mean if this movement to defund the police nationally succeeds?

Except the loudest voices right now (including members of congress) are calling for the police to be disbanded or defunded and there are now reports that the Manhattan DA is refusing to charge 'protesters' because they have a moral imperative. Police officers are seeing not only a complete lack of support but tacit support for the rioters from the state governments and are resigning in increasing numbers because they feel their position is untenable. These are the same state governments that deny people the chance to worship or peacefully protest to allow them to open their businesses so that they can feed themselves and their employees because of 'social distancing'.
New York will take years to recover, if it even can. Almost half a million of the richest inhabitants had jumped ship and left for second homes out of the state when Corona hit, home working means that more people are looking at it as a viable option because of the ridiculously high cost of living there combined with crumbling infrastructure. Now factor in the damage caused by the riots and unrestrained looting, how many businesses that are capable of reopening are going to be evaluating their options and considering moving somewhere else for safety while increasing their online retail or service presence? How many other cities may find themselves in similar situations with people and businesses leaving in order to feel safe?
At the start of this tragedy everyone was unified in wanting to see justice for George Floyd before the rioting and rhetoric started. Yes there are clear problems with excessive violence and inadequate training within the police force, with numbers somewhere between 700,000 and 1,000,000 officers across America it's obvious that there is going to be a proportion of officers who are guilty of such but it's not just against black people. Where were the protests about Tony Tempa or Justine Damond, they were just as clear cut cases but they don't fit the narrative being promoted.
I just can't see any way that this ends well.

Nope
Minnesota and Minneapolis have swung between the two for ever. Governor of Minnesota was Republican until the 2010 elections. And surely you remember Jesse Ventura
And the Democrats position on race equality has not always been what it is now. The infamous George Wallace was a Democrat (and of course Lincoln was a Republican)
As to this majority position with no resolution passed, it's unclear what it actually means other than a statement that a majority of the council believes there is structural racism built into its police force and it needs radical restructuring to root that out. They may have a point. It's certainly not the abolition of the police force that some otherwise highly respected commentators are saying it is but some of the police leadership that have sat on their hands may be having their careers severely shortened.

You are assuming that there are going to be enough officers left at the end of all this. Look at the coverage that is going on, the look at the businesses that are removing any lines that are even vaguely linked to the police because it's been described as propaganda. The officers in Buffalo that were reported to have resigned in protest of the treatment of the 2 involved with the incident with the old man didn't resign from the force, they resigned from the riot squad and ERT because the unions said that they would no longer cover legal fees of any officer serving during the riots. The Manhattan DA announced that he wasn't going to prosecute rioters and the bail reform law means that rioters across the rest of NY are released almost immediately. Morale among officers is plummeting, the NYPD had over 300 officers injured during the riots and around another 600 are reported to be either in the process of resigning/retiring or talking to the NYPD about it and that number is expected to rise further. How many people do you think are signing up to join the police now?
Now look at the financial situation that NY and other cities are going to be in as a result of the riots. How much tax revenue will have been lost both from the lockdown and the riots, now add to that the revenue lost by people who can afford to do so leaving those cities (neighbourhoods across NY have reported between 20% and 40% of their inhabitants have left) and finally factor in the larger companies deciding that it's not worth reopening there. The budgets aren't going to be there to fund the needed services so in order to placate the rioters and hopefully prevent more in future the police will be cut down even further.

Puts a rather different slant on the Rayshard Brooks shooting. While still tragic he chose to drink and drive having already violated his probation once despite knowing it would most likely lead to him being sent back to prison if he was caught and then chose to fight the officers and steal a taser, firing it at the officers when he failed the breathalyser. This wasn't another George Floyd situation, could things have been handled better? Certainly but if you are going to assign blame then it has to go on both sides not just the officers.

The lock keeper at the next lock to me yesterday was formerly a police firearms officer. He did close protection at events like G7 summits. Says Obama was a nice guy and Putin was dodgy. Hated Theresa May.
In 25 years of carrying Glocks and the like he never had occasion to fire his weapon.
Just saying.
Title: Re: Fantastic Headlines
Post by: Grumpmeister on June 18, 2020, 07:39:40 AM
I'm not defending the officers, their judgement was clearly flawed when they chose to open fire as having been discharged the taser would only have been usable as a contact weapon so they could have just as easily closed in and used pepper spray to restrain him. But when you look at how incidents like this are being covered in the media it seems like there is a narrative in place to say that in America cops are racist. Yes, what happened to both Brooks and George Floyd was tragic, but so was what happened to Tony Tempa who died after being cuffed and pinned on the ground by Dallas police officers for almost 14 minutes, or Justine Damond who was shot and killed by a Minneapolis police officer who already had 3 formal complaints against him as well as being sued by a woman he allegedly assaulted whilst on duty.
There are over 300,000 police officers across America (or there were, if the current reports about officers resigning or taking early retirement are even half accurate then that number is going to be drastically reduced) and they have somewhere between 3 and 5 million interactions with the general public each year. With that many interactions, if there as institutional racism with in the force then wouldn't if follow that there would be far more cases like Brooks and Floyd appearing in the media.
There has always been a bias in the media with certain outlets being either on the left or right of the spectrum but it's become far more overt and toxic over the last few years and that is going a long way to fuelling the feelings of discontent that lead to the riots and protests we have seen once something occurs that has lit the blue touch paper. Even over here if you look at the news concerning the protests they tend to gloss over the fact that around 40 officers have been injured, some severely, during the BLM protests but seem to have no problem in going straight to right wing yobs causing damage and injuring people. I have no doubts that there have been right wing knuckle draggers doing just that but until there is an acceptance that this has happened on both sides and responsibility is taken I can't see this improving any.
Personally as far as the police themselves are concerned I think a large part of the problem is down to training and having a single large national academy that is regularly assessed and audited could go a long way towards fixing that issue.

You say you're not defending the officers and then spend several paragraphs doing just that
I don't think he was shot because he was black, he was shot because the officer lost his rag. And that plus shooting him in the back and not seeking medical help while he was bleeding out makes it murder 1

Post by: Grumpmeister on June 18, 2020, 12:23:16 PM
How am I defending those officers by questioning the overall narrative that seems to be prevalent stating that there is rampant institutional racism throughout the entire American police force having already said that that their judgement was clearly flawed. 2 officers does not an entire police force make.

Post by: Grumpmeister on June 18, 2020, 01:14:06 PM
And the number of trained armed response officers we have is a fraction of the total number of police officers in America, all of whom are armed. I'd also say our are trained to a higher standard and only deployed in specific circumstances. Also bear in mind like I said before 1300 shooting out of ok split the difference and say 4,000,000 interactions means that less than a third of 1% of interactions between US police and the public end in a fatal shooting. A number be further reduced by improvements and standardisation in procedures and training

Something I've just realised about the whole thing, the murder charge is bullshit. The DA has charged the officer with Felony murder, but that is where the suspect has killed someone in the process of carrying out another crime it does not cover what happened here. Looking at what is going on elsewhere in the country with Raz the self proclaimed warlord of the 'Chop' shown on video handing out AR15's to people who you can tell have had no training and barely know which end of the rifle the bullets come out and the Puget Sound branch of the John Brown Gun Club providing 'security' (the group that Willem van Spronsen was a member of) I have a bad feeling about what may be coming.

So on the one hand you vote to abolish the police force and on the other you demand private security at the taxpayer's expense because you have 'received threats'. While the head of the council previously stated that being able to call the police comes from a position of privilege I'd say that forcing others to pay for your own private security is a much more blatant example.

The problems in Chicago have existed for far longer than the Corona crisis. The level of violence there has been high for so long it's known as Chiraq. Back in 2015 after over 18 times where at least 4 people were shot in a single incident the city was named America's mass shooting capital. There were 769 murders in 2016, August alone that year recorded 92 murders making it the most violent month in over 20 years. There were 653 murders in 2017 with the number falling further with 561 in 2018 and 492 in 2019. Now the level of violence is back up to extreme levels again with the most murders in a single day since 1991, 18 murders were committed on May 31st and over 85 shootings over that entire weekend.
There are somewhere in the region of 70 gangs not including the various factions within them while it was shut down by her predecessor Lightfoot didn't reestablish the anti gang unit, she's done nothing to try and change the light touch sentencing for illegal firearm possession and as for the recent riots then I'd say her performance speaks for itself as the Federal Government only has limited jurisdiction. Can she fix the whole problem on her own? Of course not but giving the police greater leeway in dealing with the gangs and fighting to change the weak sentencing procedures with regards to illegal firearms are things that she could have done that would have made a difference so why hasn't she? But if you want an objective assessment of her performance then here is an interview from last month with John Catanzara, the President of the Fraternal Order of the Police.

John Catanzara is part of the problem, a classic case of why you should never have unions in police forces. He's broken the rules numerous times using his position to promote at best sus political views and to threaten those that challenge him but effectively they can't sack him because of his union power
Title: Re: Fantastic Headlines
Post by: Grumpmeister on July 24, 2020, 07:49:02 AM
Catanzera may be a part of the problem but in this case he is correct, Lightfoot is a much larger threat. Either deliberately due to putting her political beliefs in front of her duty as mayor or due to gross incompetence she completely mismanaged the entire BLM riot and then during a meeting told an Alderman that he was "100% full of shit" for voicing a very valid concern over the violence spreading into the residential areas having seen his district devastated by the riots and looting and demanding a response from her when she tried to ignore him. The actual recording of that conversation is here
Let's also not forget that she was the mayor who was arrogant enough to think she was more important than the peons and had her hairdresser come to her home to style her hair while the city was under lockdown. Anyone else in Chicago who tried that would have been arrested. I'd love to say that she was just a fluke but she is the latest in a long line of Chicago mayors mired in corruption and ineptitude and the city deserves a hell of a lot better.

Post by: Steve on July 24, 2020, 09:59:21 AM
Well that hair cut was politically dumb by Lightfoot but apparently not against their rules so hardly Cummingsesque
I know little about Lightfoot but I do know Chicago and jeez she has no easy task. Huge debts, endemic corruption in the police force, some stunningly poor areas but also a lot of money making businesses and a brilliant lake front area and parks. Been there twice, thought I'd hate it but even with the 24/7 police sirens I loved it
And seeing as how she's only been mayor for a year surely it's too early to judge her

A resolution has been put forward to ban organisations that have historically supported the Confederacy or slavery in the America which may have a rather interesting effect on America politics considering the history of the Democrat party (Jim Crow, support of the Klan, certain policies by Woodrow Wilson and blocking civil rights efforts in the 60's) it will be interesting to see if any of them try to defend the party given current events.
Quote from: Rep. Louie Gohmert
A great portion of the history of the Democratic Party is filled with racism and hatred. Since people are demanding we rid ourselves of the entities, symbols, and reminders of the repugnant aspects of our past, then the time has come for Democrats to acknowledge their partys loathsome and bigoted past, and consider changing their party name to something that isnt so blatantly and offensively tied to slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination, and the Ku Klux Klan

Especially as California is currently trying to repeal Prop. 209 which prevents the state from discriminating for or against people based on their race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin under the guise of 'allowing positive action'.
Also they'll be many still alive that will know it was the (southern) Democrats on the Hill that tried to kill Kennedy/Johnson's civil rights act
But it's really an abuse of the legislative process wasting House time on a measure that has no chance
And either way the Democrats lose. It it does succeed then it's the end of their party but if it fails in democrat majority congress then the reputational damage to the party will be significant given their repeated statements that the current administration is racist and the current rabid drive to remove so called problematic statues etc. All this resolution has done is turn their own methods against them.

He was dragged behind their car going at sixty before hitting an oncoming vehicle while trying to stop three unrepentant criminals trying to steal a quad bike. There should be an automatic life sentence with a minimum of twenty years for anyone found guilty of killing a police officer while committing a crime. cussing:

Then perhaps you can explain why New York's Covid numbers are massively out of proportion compared to the rest of the country despite the emergency hospital and hospital ship being sent that weren't used. If Cuomo had, I don't know, used them for Covid patients instead of nursing homes full of vulnerable elderly people then there would have been a significant drop in the number of deaths.

You hypocritical bastard, denying water and power to homes and revoking certificates of occupancy for 'hosting parties or gatherings' to prevent covid. You had no problem in allowing large scale BLM protests and even joined them without wearing a mask despite admitting that they contributed to the coronavirus spike. Back in 2014 the United Nations accused Detroit of human rights offences for shutting off water to people that had problems paying their bills so congratulations Garcetti, by signing this order you are guilty of human rights abuses although given that this is the state that has put forward a proposal to remove anti discrimination laws I'm not surprised.
Hell I'm not even American and I can tell that this is a gross breach of the first amendment of the constitution.
Quote
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances
You can argue that these are extreme circumstances but to deny access to basic requirements such as water and shelter is just barbaric.

Quote from: The Independent
John Luther was not originally written as a Black character, with showrunner Neil Cross previously saying: I have no knowledge or expertise or right to try to tackle in some way the experience of being a Black man in modern Britain.
It would have been an act of tremendous arrogance for me to try to write a Black character. We would have ended up with a slightly embarrassed, ignorant, middle-class, white writers idea of a Black character.

Why not just write a character and then pick the best actor to play the role...? Shrugs:
Does it matter if the actor they chose has a high Melanin level? I don't think most people care...
But no, he has to be stereotypically black with black friends and eating black food... No doubt there would be complaints if a white actor was chosen and he didn't skoff fish & chips all day...? noooo:

Quote from: The Times
There is just one problem with the character, according to a BBC diversity chief: hes not authentically black enough. Miranda Wayland cited the popular crime drama as an example of a series that is only superficially diverse, as the corporation seeks for more convincing and rounded portrayals of minority groups.
Quote from: Miranda Wayland
When it first came out everybody loved the fact that Idris Elba was in there a really strong, black character lead, said Wayland, the corporations head of creative diversity.

Evidently Khan has an inflated opinion of his own worth, the only countries that would have a noticeable effect would be Saudi and Dubai and can you really see either one risking their income by taking part in a trade boycott? All this would lead to is the stoppage of foreign aid and investment in the remaining countries to take part in this so who would really be worse off.
But perhaps we would consider it if in return you all pass laws to prohibit violence against innocents on the basis of religion but somehow I can't see that happening.

To be honest I agree with the article. Nursing a hungry baby when you are well aware that you can't produce milk is just child abuse regardless of whether or not you are also using formula.
Did you see my earlier post about the rainbow monkey at the children's reading event. Banghead

To be honest the monkey may have worked to get kids to read more. I can easily see them frantically pouring over copies of Idiotzoology for beginners so they know how to avoid it in future. rubschin:

It just devalues even more the whole honours system
She's been no better or worse than previous Met leads but just look at how often the Met has failed. Dick is the woman who could and should have seen that the likes of Wayne Couzens were being allowed in and protected in the force and then damn well should have acted instead of wringing her hands outside the court fooling no one because what she was really distressed about was it looked bad on her.

NZ and Oz were very good at that but then seemed to have locked themselves for months into thinking lockdowns were an alternative to deploying vaccines. Dumb dumb dumb

So for speaking up and demanding accountability for the utter clusterfuck that was the Afghanistan withdrawal then resigning his commission in disgust just shy of retirement (sacrificing over £1m worth of pension and benefits) he ends up being put in the brig? FFS! Banghead
There is no way to defend the utter disaster that was the withdrawal, not being able to predict the Taliban would steamroller the Afghan army? If you honestly believe that then Darwin has a lucky turnip to sell you. With the amount of military hardware left behind you've given the Taliban and their terrorist allies their biggest boost in decades. Letting the Taliban form the perimiter around the airport? Anyone could have told you how that was going to end and then there was your drone strike, how did that end? An aid worker and children murdered while you claimed they were terrorists.

You vandalised a statue and pushed it into the river, how the hell did you end up getting a not guilty verdict?

Now these arseholes and their ilk are going to see it as carte blanche to destroy anything they decide they don't agree with. Banghead

The key is in those very words 'lawful excuse' and a jury decided they had such because the council had long wanted the statue removed
Perhaps the jury should have considered the opinion of the taxpayers of Brizzle and not a few woke councillors? ::)
Either way, it sets the most terrible precedent noooo:
That precedent was set ages ago. Remember those Hawk jets that were vandalised?
I think the CPS had to pursue this case but realistically they would have known they were never going to get a jury to convict, maybe the only surprise is instead of a hung jury there was apparently a unanimous acquittal.

Where is the one about Russians shelling a nuclear power station? scared2:
Latest reports have 5 of the 6 reactors being set to cold shutdown so they can regulate themselves although the control room is said to have been one of the targets so it's unclear what's going to happen with the remaining one. They are supposed to have been designed in such a way that they can withstand earthquakes and a plane crashing into them, does that mean they can withstand an artillery barrage, missile strike or tank shells? Only time will tell I guess. In theory they are of a more modern design so in the worst case scenario we would be looking more at a Fukushima type disaster rather then Chernobyl again.

Medics claim the uncircumcised man's ordeal which has left him with a deformed member could have been avoided if he washed properly.
The 57-year-old, who wasn't named, 'rarely' retracted his foreskin to clean, according to the Australian urologists who treated him.
He also urinated sitting down, meaning that the build-up of hair that collected under his foreskin went unnoticed.
Surgeons described the hairs as being 'matted together' and having formed a 'tight ring' under his glans the head of the penis.
They believe it had accumulated after a 'significant' amount of time although were clueless as to how long the man had spent in pain.

Quote
In comments to Astra Radio, the spokesperson for the Cyprus Petrol Station Owners, Christodoulos Christodoulou, said petrol prices would increase by at least 20 cents per litre within the next two weeks.
He said a petrol company on Tuesday has already pushed up prices of 95 Octane petrol by 4 euro cents and Octane 98 petrol by 8 cents.
According to Christodoulou, following the new increases, the petrol stations under the franchise are now selling 95 octane petro at 1. 73 per litre and 98 Octane petrol at 1. 80 per litre.
Christodoulou predicts that prices for both petrol and diesel will be around 2 per litre in the next couple of weeks.

Something appears to have happened during the Talk TV debate.
There was a loud crash, Liz Truss looked very concerned and then the programme was taken off air.
The production teams main concern will rightly be ensuring everyone is OK, so its not clear if this debate will resume.
18:48 BreakingPresenter 'fainted and collapsed'
A well informed source has told the BBC the Tory debate crashed off air because presenter Kate McCann is understood to have fainted and collapsed. She was presenting alone, after Harry Cole pulled out with Covid.

Misleading headline, it's for companies that use PayPal to get users to fund their misinformation or other evil activities.

I hate to disagree with you Steve but courtesy of the Wayback Machine here are the full terms and conditions in question. Take note (a) of the date and (b) that it doesn't specify businesses just account holders.
You are independently responsible for complying with all applicable laws in all of your actions related to your use of PayPal's services, regardless of the purpose of the use. In addition, you must adhere to the terms of this Acceptable Use Policy. Violation of this Acceptable Use Policy constitutes a violation of the PayPal User Agreement and may subject you to damages, including liquidated damages of $2,500.00 U.S. dollars per violation, which may be debited directly from your PayPal account(s) as outlined in the User Agreement (see Restricted Activities and Holds section of the PayPal User Agreement).
Quote
5. involve the sending, posting, or publication of any messages, content, or materials that, in PayPals sole discretion, (a) are harmful, obscene, harassing, or objectionable, (b) depict or appear to depict nudity, sexual or other intimate activities, (c) depict or promote illegal drug use, (d) depict or promote violence, criminal activity, cruelty, or self-harm (e) depict, promote, or incite hatred or discrimination of protected groups or of individuals or groups based on protected characteristics (e.g. race, religion, gender or gender identity, sexual orientation, etc.) (f) present a risk to user safety or wellbeing, (g) are fraudulent, promote misinformation, or are unlawful, (h) infringe the privacy, intellectual property rights, or other proprietary rights of any party, or (i) are otherwise unfit for publication.
While I agree with a lot of what is in section 5 the disturbing part is that Paypal are the sole arbiters of what counts as objectionable which in this case is a nice little catch all for anything they don't like regardless if it is legally accepted speech.
Also the fact that David Marcus, a former President of Paypal, has also criticized the move lends credence to this not being meant for businesses only.
It would also seem that the management is scrambling to try and enact damage control and claiming that this was a mistake after the backlash knocked 5% off their share value.

Interesting, thanks.
If you're just a consumer you have all sorts of protections under our (and dare I say the EU's) financial protection rules. But once you're a business, even a small business, you're by and large out there on your own. And there I would agree PayPal acts insensitively and arrogantly.
There was a case on the BBC recently where someone made a payment to a business and for unknown reasons tagged it as 'raffle'. PayPal's auto software decided the business was operating a gambling site (very much against their rules) and closed the account immediately.
There are other transaction platforms out there, if you're a business donot put your eggs in one basket - but sadly so many do

King Charles to star in The Repair Shop

I suspect the discussion went along the lines of:
Charles: "I have this poor reputation and low credibility can you repair them?"
Producers: "No, some things are hopeless but if you've got an old clock we'll have a bash at that"
Whatever why didn't he ask himself the question - would Mum have done this? No because Royals have to set themselves as positive examples above us mere plebs, not show they can come down to our level having old stuff repaired for free

Gwent Police unveil their secret weapon against rising crime
The scientists admit the hybrid virus would be unlikely to be as deadly in real humans as it was in mice.
They noted that one limitation of their study was the specific breed of mice used, as other types of mice are more similar to humans.
Mice and humans also dont have identical immune responses, as there are variations in DNA and genes between the species.
The genes that regulate the immune system behave differently, for example, and the response to stress is different in mice and humans.

'In the 1970s people were in Cornwall because they couldn't afford a proper holiday and there were a lot of chips on shoulders, and we felt that again in those two years. It had come back around.'
Chips on shoulders my arse! Almost every single business owner I know down here were grateful to nearly everyone who came down here on holiday as most of them were at the very least concerned about how they were going to keep going. Yes, some tourists act like entitled morons but you see that wherever you go and the majority of them were perfectly happy to come down here. As a matter of fact many of the ones I talked to commented about how much they wanted to come back down again even after lockdown would be lifted and overseas locations were available again.
As the head of Visit Cornwall should be well aware of just how much of the local economy depends on the tourist trade so instead of whinging on about the types of tourist that have come to Cornwall and trying to insult them by calling them emmits (which is an ironic insult given your surname) why not thank them for bringing the trade down here that helped keep businesses from closing down you ignorant ungrateful arsehole!

Not sure what the repercussions of Boris are going to be given that members of the committee were tweeting and posting they thought Boris was guilty long before the investigation was complete. That's going to call impartiality into question regardless of it being the right call or not.

Which is rather to ignore the point that even Boris admitted to the majority Tory committee that he'd badly misled the house. And they didn't even get to look at the most serious charges against him.

I got curious after hearing that TSG were suing the House of Mouse over 'Hollywood accounting' given they are a major entertainment financier so had a look around and found a copy of the complaint. I'm the first to admit I'm no legal expert but if I'm reading it right then it looks like breach of contract, fraud and tortuous interference. If this is correct then Disney has been a baaaaaaaaaad rodent.. eeek:
The cynic in me doesn't think this will ever make it to court as the discovery phase will mean all of their relevant financial documents will be in the public domain which would be a public relations nightmare not to mention that the SEC would have to step in and investigate. I can't see Disney settling out of court as they need all of their available capital and assets for the Hulu purchase and given what was said during the earnings call that could cost around $20bn so my guess is that they will drag it out through arbitration for as long as possible.

$354M fine. See Donald, lying your arse off does sometimes have a price :thumbsup:
I wouldn't start gloating too much just yet. There is still the appeals process and there are plenty of grounds for a successful appeal such as the the fact that the it's a massive fine especially since the supposed victims, the banks themselves said not only was there was no fraud but they had made a profit on the loans and were happy to continue doing business with Trump. Not to mention their own due diligence would have confirmed the value of any property used as collateral which leads to the court's woefully inaccurate valuation of Mar a Largo only being worth $18m. This is a plot of land large enough to stretch to both beachfront and riverfront, Hell if you want an independent valuation Forbes estimated the property alone to be worth $350m and that the resort was making at least $20-$25m a year, far more than the court's $18m estimate and that's before you factor in the brand value. Then you have a partisan AG who campaigned for the position purely on 'getting Trump' a judge who has previously donated thousands to the Democrat party and his court clerk who seems rather pally with Chuck Schumer.

I'm guessing you missed the testimony from the Deutsche Bank representative but like I said earlier it wouldn't have mattered what value Trump's accountants placed on the property, due diligence would have meant that the only value that mattered was the one that the bank itself came up with.
Title: Re: Fantastic Headlines
Post by: Steve on February 19, 2024, 09:05:27 AM
Actually what mattered was the values he declared for tax were much lower than those he claimed to get the loans. Either he was defrauding one of them or both. And his continual denial and personal attacks meant he'd do it again and again unless given an appropriate deterrent. Which he got.
Oh and it was multiple banks and financial institutions (https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/complaint_with_exhibits_part1.pdf) he defrauded not just Deutsche and they did not testify that they didn't mind (https://apnews.com/article/trump-fraud-lawsuit-trial-new-york-53313f64d57b0aa99f756c2c791d29ab)
Title: Re: Fantastic Headlines
Post by: Grumpmeister on February 23, 2024, 03:39:27 AM
Interesting, you make it sound like Trump did his own property assessments and accounts and so was able to defraud either the banks who's due diligence would have picked up on the discrepancy as I've already said as well as his own tax liability which would have been picked up by the state. This is from the States own Department of Finance website
Calculating the Taxable Value
A property's annual property tax bill is calculated by multiplying the taxable value with the tax rate.
Step 1: Estimate the property's market value. The Department of Finance determines the market value differently depending on they type of property you own.
Step 2: Multiply the estimated market value by the level of assessment,ξ which is 6% (Tax Class 1) or 45% (all other classes).
So again, self assessment is just that. The Department of Finance makes their own determination using independent assessors and would have picked up on any discrepancies in property values for each area there was a Trump property. If you want an example the court cases uses an $18m valuation for Mar a Largo which is approximately 65000 square feet. A property almost half the size in the same area has gone on the market for $295m
As for calling the fine an appropriate deterrent, the Associated Press, that well known bastion of Trump supporters went back over 70 years of court filings and could not find a single case of a person or entity being fined to anywhere near this degree after being found guilty in a similar case. Plus when you factor in the interest it comes to $500m which has to either be paid in full or a bond posted for 10% of the value which comes with it's own crippling fees and interest payments BEFORE Trumps legal team will be allowed to lodge an appeal which goes against a core tenet of the constitution that being life liberty or property cannot be taken without due process and appeals are a key part of said process.

Surely, even the most ardent Trump hater can see this fine and the conditions attached to it are completely unfair and unreasonable (not to say unprecedented).
It is a blatant attempt to interfere in the election and stop him running (with the added bonus or ruining him)...

I read an interesting post about it elsewhere...
Quote
I find it interesting to compare different borrower / lender relationships and contrast the third-party claims made.
Liar Loans A decade and a half ago, the American home lending and mortgage market became very aggressive in seeking out borrowers; lenders had discovered that they could securitize their loans (package them up and sell them to other investors) so they could make many more loans on a small capital base. They eventually reached the state where a borrower could misstate (which in practice, meant dramatically overstate) the value of the property to be charged, as well as his or her income, or even employment status. The first, the valuation, is a matter of opinion and expectation we probably have to expect that borrowers will be optimistic. The second, though, is a matter of fact cold hard fact any borrower knows whether they are employed, and knows (or can ascertain) their income misstatements there are deliberate lies. This was such a staple in the financial world that such mortgages were known as Liar Loans. Well, it all came a-cropper when the the housing market had expanded to the point that there were more homes available than liars who wanted to buy them, and the formerly delightful practice of buying and flipping homes for a profit no longer worked. At that point, some of the liars had to default on their loans, and holders of those mortgage-backed securities didnt get the monthly or quarterly payment they expected. This constrained the mortgage market, since mortgages couldnt be so conveniently bundled and sold, so lenders were constrained by their capital bases tighter mortgage restrictions depress and contract the housing market, and we see a vicious cycle forming.
The result was the Global Financial Crisis the worst depression since the 1930s: thousands, perhaps millions of families lose their homes, businesses fail, and we need a significant government policy response (primarily Quantitative Easing pouring money into the market to maintain liquidity) to avoid a catastrophe. None of the borrowers on Liar Loans was ever prosecuted for fraud: why would they be they are somehow the victims in this little escapade? The poor sweet darlings were seduced by evil lenders to take out loans that they didnt know they would have to repay. If anything, they should be compensated for their loss and hardship. The bankers are widely excoriated as Predatory Lenders who abused the naivete of the hapless borrowers, and are modern pariahs. In fact, note that the Liar Loans were in effect call options on valuable assets that were anticipated to appreciate for the liars that got out of the game at the right time (either by luck or skill), it was the greatest financial windfall of their lives
Donald Trump Trump approached banks to request loans, and included statements of the value of properties he would use as security. Any banker knows that valuations are opinion, and that he had better check the values for himself. Having been one , I can tell you that a good banker does not lend on value (at least, not primarily), but on cash flow. I have no idea whether Trump misstated cash flows, but they are much more difficult to fake, particularly given financial statements, and the banks ability to observe at least the cash that flows in and out of the accounts held with that bank. Obviously, future cash flows are a matter of expectation, so a prudent lender ensures a margin of safety. We have the testimony of the lender in question Deutsche Bank that they did all those things, and were satisfied with the information provided by Trump, and they determined the property values for themselves and found them to be adequate, and the loans to be supportable.
Trumps statements to the Deutsche Bank did not affect his property taxes, since the property value for that purpose is set by the County Assessor, or similar official. They did not affect his income tax liabilities, since values reported to the IRS or used to calculate gains or losses are based on historic cost plus or minus some pretty specific rules set and enforced by the IRS. Trumps statements to the Deutsche Bank did not affect the Deutsche Bank there has been no default; no loss, no Global Financial Crisis, and no families losing their homes. Yet, Trump is a fraudster, the Deutsche Bank is the victim of this lossless fraud or perhaps somehow we all are victims, without having lost a whit. I see no accusations that Deutsche Bank is a Predatory Lender, and no claims that Trump is somehow a naive victim, perhaps deserving of compensation.
The Difference The Liar Loan borrowers were pursuing The American Dream of home ownership their blatant fraud and deceit could be overlooked. Besides, they were expected to vote in future elections, and there were enough of them that neither party could afford to alienate them. Trump, by contrast, only has one vote and the whole Trump Organization may muster a couple of dozen. More importantly, he is a threat to the established order (particularly Democrats) so any manner of injuring him or damaging his political hopes is both right and proper in fact, its the duty of any patriot. This is how republics gain the adjective Banana.
Hmm, lets see how many other NY businesses get prosecuted under this law in the future, and how many of them are run by Democrat donors, then well have an idea of what exactly just went on here. rubschin:
