On Monday, October 23, at around 1 pm, a 32-tonne truck carrying a 7 m3 concrete mixer on its way up to one of Méribel's construction sites on route du Cruet flipped over on the outside of the hairpin bend, tipping over the low wall protecting the pedestrian walkway with its wheels in the air.
The driver, slightly injured, was taken to hospital in Albertville.
The mayor's office has provided a crane and sufficiently powerful equipment to straighten the top.

Oh.
Local driver, probably drives up and down at least once most days. Lots of residents have commented that the trucks drive too fast and so can't stay on the correct side of the road
But - I'll send over some duck tape and cable ties

Now I just get actual quake warnings.

This Israeli thing...from an outsider whose never been to the area, I can see how women and children are innocent victims of the troubles, but there's been shit going on for a long long time and it makes me wonder, just how innocent some of the male population really are.

I'd guess that a small minority are complicit in what Hamas is doing, with a large majority just wanting to get on with their lives and don't raise their heads for fear of being victimised/ostracised (or worse) by Hamas and the other assorted 'jihadist' organisations.Dodgy69 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 27, 2023 1:17 pm This Israeli thing...from an outsider whose never been to the area, I can see how women and children are innocent victims of the troubles, but there's been shit going on for a long long time and it makes me wonder, just how innocent some of the male population really are.

If the Police say they will arrest demonstrators who shout for jihad, I think a lot of demonstrators will do a lot of shouting for jihad.

He told reporters: "They don't represent us. Alcohol makes bad things in people.
I maintain that alcohol removes inhibitions - so if you are really a nasty twat but hide it well, being drunk will let others see that you are really a nasty twat.
I do so hate the "alcohol made me do it" excuse

Alcohol just helps you be more you.
Old age seems to do it as well, my mum is a nasty drunk and as she gets older her sober snide comments get sharper too.

I don't like rap music, so I don't listen to it.
In August 2023, GB News had a total identified monthly audience (including sharing and streaming) of 2,786,000, with a nearly 1 minute average daily viewing according to BARB.
They've got their dream team now, Johnson, Rees-Mogg and Lee (I used to be Labour) Anderson. Money well spent. Arf.
