Walsingham

That's awesome! I can't believe they used it to house people from the Carribean immigrating to Britain! How freaking weird to come to Britain in the first place, butto be put into some futuristic (for them) bunker...

Actually, iirc they take oaths indicating precisely that. That's why police officers deserve respect. Besides, it's not like she was 9/11ing it. Officers over here routinely wrastle with people. I've seen it first hand on Friday/Saturday nights. Keep in mind, though, that the professional protestor s are also always looking for good photos and footage to make the police look bad. It's standard planning to have as many cameras as possible. My guts says that on this occasion the cops were out of line. But with the way the video starts so suddenly you should ask yourself what happened first. He could have punched out three massive blokes and downed a litre of methylated spirits just before the cut in.

Actually, I've got to say I was surprised they tasered him. He was unarmed, and simply being shouty. There were three cops there. A good old fashioned collaring seemed in order. I'm beginning to think the objectors were right that tasers and mace are becoming a first resort not second to last. I'm less clear on the issue of his not being told why he was being arrested. That could easily have happened before the video rolled. He was already pretty agitated.

How about the fact that we have a huge common culture, borne from a shared experience of two world wars, economic systems, and thousands if not millions of artworks across film, literature, and the internet. And Americans combine naivety with idealism and a tremendous drive to succeed with being a bit mental, and often naked?

In communist Russia, sex has YOU.

Seems a bit contradictory, but it got them on the news, so I guess they succeeded. The Telegraph, to my surprise actually has them entirely en clair.

Fixed, I think.

You've confused me there, Gorgon. How can an institution which passes laws superceding UK law, and which is not elected by citizens/subjects of the UK be considered extremely democratic?

Keep up the good work. Maybe steal stuff from the big museum?

Old can be better when it comes to lasting a long time. But yes, they never got updated. At least not so far as I know. Note that I secretly am hoping this will inspire Fallout 4 as a European shenanigan.

I hear the EU is doing something similar? Except of course being the EU we can't do ANYTHING about it because the EU isn't a democratic institution.

I t was really supposed to be a sort of celebration of the event, and the power of mankind over nature.

The Onion knocked this one out of the park, with a story about a dire warning time traveller:

I know next to nothing about most of that, but pushing assault weapons south to sell gun control sounds like a conspiracy theory. In any case I dimly recall something about the serious hardware being military, for obvious reasons? Probably something from Gorth, IIRC.

Actually, I'm quite proud of this although it wasn't deliberate as such. I had to go do an interview with their HR people, and they actually asked me "What do you consider your strengths?" I simply raised an eyebrow at them. I answered after looking startled like this for a couple of beats. I mean, seriously? What a ****ing lazy question!

Funnily enough while go for staright practicality in normal life, in game I will cheerfully accept up to around 30% decrement in performance rather than look like a doofus.

My housemate/lodger has started playing Torchlight. It's almost eerie not hearing Fallout New Vegas noises every time I come home.

Surely RT's stop at Deathworlds? RT offers to take him onto his crew in exchange for saving his life from rabid skalwretches or what have you.

Interesting point, Janmanden. I wonder what the respect variances in size are for keyboards and the human hand.

Baby born with no blood survives thanks to medics. Any other modern miracles in mind?

Do we have an Obsidian Borderlands group?

Yeah, the civil war thing just broke my mind it was so weakass. OK, so they make Ulfric's story a little bit interesting. But that's it. I try not to do it unless ordered to in game, but you can freely serve one side, and stroll happily into the capital of the other IN UNIFORM. Have a cup of hot chocolate and a brioche, chat with the guards. You name it. ~ You have to admire their determination to get fresh dialogue all over the shop, though. Even minor caves get little chats about features in the cave.

Wouldn't that put you 25 miles into the ocean? I keed. Partially. I demand a smiley with a cricket bat Wearing cricket whites.
