I see from Facebook that the conspiracy theorists are having a whale of a time with Malaysian Airlines. Apparently the second plane (shot down) was actually the first (missing) plane being flown on a 'false flag' operation by the Americans, trying to make Putin look bad.

I do love articles like that. Always funny. I think at one point it said, "We all know it has already been conclusively proved that the plane was hijacked and landed at an airfield..."

It is conclusive! I read it on a blog!

TheVision · **Posted:** Mon Jul 28, 2014 9:41

And now I've read it on a forum so it's definitely conclusive.

Satsuma · **Joined:** 20th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 14413

It's not conclusive until someone says "empirically".

Yeah, I read all that stuff. Nobody seemed to have an answer as to where all the passengers from MH17 have gone though...

Fans of the English language do we like either of these sentences?

"... it is possible but not probable."

"... it is a possibility but unlikely to be probable"

I like the first..

How about

"...it is possible but unlikely to be probable"
"...it is possible but unlikely"
"...nah guv, no chance"
"...WHAAAAT?"
"<teeth suck>"
"...nae bother, it'l happen tomorrow, I promise"

The first of the two is much better than the second; 'unlikely to be probable' is a horrible phrase in so many ways. 'Possible but not probable' seems a perfectly sensible and efficient phrasing.

The woman across from me is having lunch. This is the story so far.

A glass bottle of water, with a resealable top.
A bag with at least 1ltr of green gloop in a large jam jar.
Two whole, raw, unwashed carrots.
Some tablets from an unmarked little plastic pot.
A vial of some sort, from which she drops a drop of purple liquid onto a tablet and then eats the tablet.

Thought as much. Sensible and efficient, like my love making.

There's a significant amount of Palestinien (-ian?) flags around Bradford. Huge stickers on cars, and flags from the windows. George Galloway deigned to turn up in the city at the weekend and say that it should be twinned with Gaza. (Because he's a fucking idiot, mainly). There's men shaking buckets at road junctions for Islamic Relief and loads more than I've seen before.

Is this right: the Greater Manchester ambulance service was sold/taken over by a bus company!?

markg · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 16619

Non-emergency I think, picking people up for appointments and whatnot.

There's this new thing they've come up with, a 'search engine' I think they call it? Looks pretty good.

It's not the emergency service they've taken over but the other part:

The PTS provides non-urgent transport to and from hospital appointments for those who are too ill or vulnerable to use public transport.

Seems they undercut the rival bid by the actual ambulance service and then turned out to be shit:

Bloody hell that's pretty embarrassing - 54% didn't make their appointments and 60% weren't picked up on time. That'll surely put a strain on the hospitals affected by this service whilst they are waiting for their patients to turn up.

But I suppose that's back-door privatisation for you.

KovacsC · **Posted:** Tue Jul 29, 2014 9:53

would be interesting to see what the service was like before.

Grim... · **Posted:** Tue Jul 29, 2014 10:17

Yeah, for all we know that could be a better service than the one they had.

I had not seen - at the time it had a much better selection of books (written and Audio versions) than any other torrent site although i guess all of the others going or being blocked in some way often just help out TPB becoming bigger

Had a look through one of those "crazy shit on google earth" lists that get posted on facebook this lunchtime. Had all the usual weird lines in the Nevada desert etc... and then the next picture was the Whipsnade zoo chalk lion, which is about 10 miles away from my house. That was a little weird.

I made a google calendar reminder to send the turkish phrase "Bayraminiz mubarek oslun" to my old Team Leader where I used to work as she was always dead pleased that I actually paid some attention to the Muslim calendar etc.

She sent me something back in Turkish which probably means - "Cock off Cock face"

Grim... · **Posted:** Tue Jul 29, 2014 16:16

Or "put your cock in my face".

London next week! for a one hour meeting! Then back again! Sorry, Troops, I can't probably do lunch or anything as I'll be running up the road back to Kings Cross from Holborn (which is pronounce "Ho-Burn" much to my amusement), and I'll have people in tow.

Just got tickets for 'Avenue Q' when it comes to Oxford again in early August. Saw it back in 2012 and loved every second so looking forward to seeing it again lest I forget what the Internet is for.

Fucking love Avenue Q. Best thing I've seen at the theatre by a country mile. Then Blood Brothers. Then Book of Mormon.

I'm starting to notice approx. 50% of forum responses to poor old TheVision's posts seem to revolve around wanking, for reasons unknown.

I think we should be told.

TheVision · **Posted:** Wed Jul 30, 2014 16:16

I presume it's because at least 50% of the forum think of me while having a wank.

I don't think I'll be able to sleep this evening with that thought.

I certainly won't be able to go to sleep until at least 30 seconds after the wife has now, in any event.

I'm including time to find a packet of kleenex (and then find another one that isn't fucking menthol) in that timeframe.
