In todays news...

[Screwdriver]

Why? Because you expect us to believe as fact what you post. You didn't get a straightforward fact like that correct.

What has your pedantry turned you into some sort of Snopes denial service? Because one insignificant detail of someones comment might differ from a full report, the entire thrust of the argument is untrue?

I said " he was featured on the BBC in a Dr.Who advert."

You claim that is "wrong" because he "starred in Doctor Who-themed BBC Children In Need advert"

Clearly the two descriptions are entirely consistent with each other. The BBC are "advertising" Dr.Who by using one of their products in an advertising campaign.

What worries me more is that you couldn't care less about the children who were hacked to death by this monster, because he wasn't in a DrWho advert, it was a children in need advert. Are you suggesting that absolves him? Are you defending him?

Why do you feel the need to apologise for this chap who hacked so many small children to death?

[Screwdriver]

He does however make a number of very valid points.

...
Woah. Hold on there. Irie is the one calling people fucking thicko's.
...
It should be obvious to anyone with an active humour sensor that I am not literally suggesting such a chap is a fucking thicko.
...
You need Irie for that level of intellectual arrogance.

So one rule for you and another for everyone else.

Oh.

Ok let me get this straight. When you said this:

constitution of the UK.

What's that then, the fucking Magna Carta?

Only the fucking thick would think that is the case.

You now claim you were joking?

I'll be interested to hear your excuse because I can't quite see how you will bend the logic of that to your whim.

Depends how far you are prepared to backpedal I suppose.

[weeksy]

Fuck me do you cunts have to argue about fucking everything.

Thread closed, the next one to mention news gets a fucking 7 day ban.

Pathetic

You're all sent to bed without any pudding and the thread is locked for 48 hours

It's not today's news but it was in a newspaper. For those of you interested in space exploration I thought this article on the Voyager programme was a cracking good read.

As complicated tax avoidance scams go ...

A city centre office building has been home to a snail farm for more than a year, in what council bosses allege is an attempt to avoid tax.

About 15 covered crates - containing as few as two snails each - have been kept on the lower ground floor of 9 Dale Street, in Liverpool, since 2023.

Under current law, this could qualify as "agricultural use" and this part of the building would arguably be exempt from business rates.

The firm renting the space said it was a legitimate snail farming operation.

So educate me, what is so damned important about this mega yacht or it's passengers that it has dominated all the papers and 'news' channels for days on end?

And is it just a coincidence that Stephen Chamberlain was killed this week too??

Look it's August, and the weather in the UK is iffy. All the meeja people fancy a jaunt to the Med, so expect this story to run.

And I doubt that even our lizard overlords could arrange a hit and run and a tornado. Hit and run, certainly, but tornados are a problem.

We have tiny ones here every day.

Shaped charge anchored to the sea bed to imitate a water funnel when ignited would look like an act of nature

He was a tech giant. Bill Gates saw him as opposition and took him out with some super concentrated cloud seeding!

Dono if true as the wife told me and she reads the Sun. Mr Tech guy and another was not long acquitted from a multi million quid fraud charge. His co accused not long died in a car crash.

I think the recently employed crewman who locked the cabin doors knew what was going on.

Not quite. His co-accused was out running when hit by a car so not really a crash. Local dibble say there's nothing suspicious about the accident. (So they probably topped him in A&E or in the fake ambulance with the CIA guys in).

It is also quite difficult to fake / arrange a tornado to sink a big fuck off boat. Just seems to be bad luck
