He seems to be backing that up with all the evidence.

They've said the same thing about Walsall, as well.

That was Jyllands Posten, no? So Danish. Unless there were more cartoons on another occasion?

Oh, goodness, of course. I don't know how I forgot that. So, were they original cartoons, or re-prints of the Jyllands-Posten? It doesn't so much matter, I'm just wondering why France is targeted so much when I think *many* places published those cartoons in solidarity.

I think the colonial ties with Islamic North African countries and poor slum areas where Muslim citizens are treated as an underclass are probably important points in this, I just wondered if there was a discernible catalyst point when the attacks started.

They were originals, drawn just a few days after protests and attacks due to a film about Muhammad. It was basically religious hate speech, which everyone (except for Islamic folk, obv) seemed to ignore, and they should be fucking ashamed of themselves.

Of course, the reaction is insane, and I'm not condoning it for a second, but people sure are quick to forget why it started.

Hezbollah have bombed French citizens repeatedly in the 1980s, then another lot took over in the 1990s as a result of the war in Algeria.

Along the way, Basque seperatists, Corsican seperatists and Breton seperatists have dobe terrorism, too.

France was also a Colonial Power in Syria and Lebanon, so there's probably some residual fallout from that.

The film was hate speech or the cartoons (or both)? I don't think I've actually seen any of the cartoons, so I'm not really sure what they contain. Actually I'm going to go and look now.

Reading the bit under the clip, he says "dozens" have joined, which I suppose is a non insignificant number. There was a treasure trove of ISIS application forms found which have given up a lot of intelligence, so maybe he got it from there.

When we were there we didn't really explore the bits that weren't the old city or the PdA, so we didn't see the less great bits. There's a Foreign Legion recruitimg office there, too.

My Aunt and Uncle live there, so I texted my Aunt this morning to see if they were OK

She said everyone was fine and that she was in the UK but flying to Nice today

I thought she would have issues after something like this

Apparently it was a suspicious package, but everyone evacuated now, and there's been no further report so would hope to expect everyone is safe.

Mobile phones are sometimes remotely blocked when there is a suspect package as they have been used as detonators in the past.

Springsten's Bobby Jean reminds me of my friend C. I'd come back from the pub on Dec 30th and there was a note to call my friend T. So, even though it was late, I gave him a call. He told me that C was dead and had hanged herself. The next day, I went surfing and just sat out back for 2 hours, caught one wave, rode it all the way in and that was that. I've never looked up any reports or anything, as that'd remove the faint hope that it'd all been a mix up and she's somewhere doing something.

So, spent about 1200 quid keeping the volvo on the road in the last two weeks. Today on the way home, it started playing up - some dodgy noises from the engine, then it stalled, was hard to restart. Then, on the big slope down into the valley, it kept dying (revs just dropped off constantly and stalled the engine), which meant the electrics went out, which meant the steering went. That was an interesting few hundred meters. Thankfully, there is a very good garage at the bottom of the hill, so the chap there had a look for me despite being closing time. Turns out, for some unknown reason, the coolant had boiled, blown a clip off one of the hoses, and emptied the entire system. 20 minutes and a few gallons of water and a new clip later, car was (and still is) fine. Fucking bonkers. Must have been the weather or something.

Once you've cooked a car enough for it to pack up, it doesn't tend to fully recover.

It might be time to start looking around.

Could you not smell it?

It's in a box, rather than in a wrap.

No wrap? That's not a burrito, then. It's just meat, beans, salad snd cheese in a box. That has no right to call itself a burrito, naked or otherwise.

Worst. Lunch. Ever.

Presumably he assumed the burrito would arrive borne by a naked lady. It's what I would have thought

Why the fuck else would you describe food as "naked"? Bonkers mis-selling

Just found out that a club I used to be involved in has been ripped of to the tune of several grand by the treasurer. They owe a couple of grand in rent to the hall they used and all the various insurance etc has gone unpaid. Everyone's a bit shellshocked and are trying to work out what happens next. It's odd, as it seems it started happening almost exactly at the time I moved and stopped attending.

Just found out that a club I used to be involved in has been ripped of to the tune of several grand by the treasurer. They owe a couple of grand in rent to the hall they used and all the various insurance etc has gone unpaid. Everyone's a bit shellshocked and are trying to work out what happens next.


Cripes.

An organisation I'm involved with suffered that fate shortly before I joined - thankfully someone realised that their insurance included a part about a committee member with their fingers in the till so were able to recoup most of the losses.

Just shows that everyone, not just the committee members, ought to pay attention to Treasurers' reports and insist on good record-keeping.
