pap

Checking out Glasto bands. Quite like this. Spoilers for Game of Thrones. The Onion Knight abandons his duties to flounce about with a MILF.

I've never really thought about it before if I'm being perfectly honest. In truth, I would probably end up going out more and attracting midget women, just like before. On a biological imperative level short women are not good for me. Next generation of pap would be oompa-loompa if I did those deeds.

Lordy (again). Toke's original picture (boring picture of 80s child star):- My picture of same chick is better.

See me if you you need contact details, Tokes

All the best movies were made in the 1970s. Or 1982.

Fozzie's bird is more anal canal.

Lordy, it's like living with babies. Spinal Tap, yo!

I'm bored with this already and am feeling like a salad will relieve my boredom. I'm nipping over to the Green Shoots thread to speak to trousers.

Sexist. This is no different than the tin-foil wrapped cucumber in my trousers.

I actually thought you were taking the píss with your "too soon" comment. Wow.

Whoosh

The UN were correct about WMD in Iraq. My view is that the UN is hampered by the veto powers of five permanent members of the security council. If their resolutions were actually enforced, the world might be a better place. As constituted, it's effectively there to aid the self-interest of five countries.

Then that's a no then UN detectors would have picked it up.

It's consistent with the findings of the UN's early nuclear launch detection system, which also has the ability to detect large planes exploding. http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/missing-jet/u-n-says-it-detected-no-crash-or-explosion-n55256 However, it can also detect planes hitting the water. Perfect landing, maybe. Anything else, should have been caught.

It's a good game, but it's one to dip in and out of. Treat it more as an arcade game that you'll have a blast on every now and then. It's not something I personally can play for hours on end.

Agree, and as we can see from hypo's repetition, not particularly original.

Gutted, but it looked a bad one as soon as it occurred. Get well soon, Jay.

Probably not. MLG might point to the subtext of the original song, but that'd be damning an entire family on the basis of a song the patriarch wrote.

Do you reckon they might switch it on in the midst of an international crisis when it might be needed?

Yeah, I heard something similar and have difficulty processing that. If that's truly the case, then:- 1) I'm glad I don't live in Australia 2) I hope ours works differently.

That article is an excellent read. Thanks for posting it. Really goes to show how little Westerners know about the region or the way it works. One conclusion you can definitely draw is that Ukraine is nowhere near being able to join the EU and benefit. Sounds like the people running things wouldn't be super-happy about the transfer of sovereignty. Even if Ukraine did join the EU, I can see it being like an extreme version of Denmark when it comes to flouting membership requirements. Can you really imagine the far right nationalists welcoming their EU fellow citizens under the rules of the Single Market?

On that subject, I did have a look at the video you posted but just haven't gotten around to replying. I've seen the notion that some of the Freescale lot were holding patents, but I've also seen discrepancies between the manifest and who they are supposed to be. Manifest doesn't really mean much though; there were already two Iranians flying on false papers. There is quite a bit of background to this which may or may not be relevant. The Malaysians haven't been particularly helpful with the USA's "pivot to Asia" overtures and they haven't come out of this international incident with too much credit. The sighting over the Maldives was never investigated with any vigour. The Maldives weren't part of the initial SAR net, and the reports that islanders saw a jumbo jet were dismissed out of hand with a denial. It's one of the few places where people actually saw something, FFS. Was looking at the JORN radar coverage map last night, the military radar installations that cover northern arcs from three points of Australian origin. Seems weird that the Aussies didn't pick it up, given the search area and the obvious paranoia about wayward planes flying toward Western countries.

Bah. Putting this here as it isn't strictly Crimea. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/ukraine-crisis-officials-in-eastern-city-of-donetsk-proclaim-independence-from-kiev-and-set-date-for-referendum-on-joining-russia-9243750.html Donetsk have done something similar and have proclaimed independence from Ukraine. Referendum to follow.

There are a handful round here. I keep telling the missus that long hair is coming back into fashion (it isn't).

I'd go to either. NME state that third headliner can't be announced yet for contractual reasons. This implies that someone stands to lose if the third headliner is announced, especially since the embargo is being enforced.
