That's pretty harsh! LOL Too much drool etc? Or did she simply gnaw off your front teeth?

It's my fond belief that at some point we will be able to retrospectively examine all the grindingly inhuman coments on youtube, trace them in realspace, and round every last sad angry ****er up, load them into a rocket, and fire them into the heart of the sun.

Your concern is gratifying, but I'm hardly active enough to threaten my knees just yet.

Indeed, it was the 'planned' nature of the construction process, and its emphasis on bureaucratic targets rather than local control*. However, it occurs to me that there are other ways cracks ay get into concrete. Just to suppose a wildly improbable example - a massive earthquake. Interestingly the BBC have pointed out that none of the nuclear disasters so far have come close to the earthquake itself in terms of casualties. Nor, I would point out, the terror attack on the Twin Towers (assuming the BBC is correct). *From memory the blame was laid on deliverers insisting that concrete had to be dumped and used as soon as it arrived on site.** But this is ten years since I read the report. **In filthy capitalist construction this might occur through faulty contracting, but the company receiving would be free to adjust the terms.

Massively overdid my hill climbing spaz-a-thon today. One and a half hours! Back feels more than a little fiery, so shouldn't do that again soon. But it feels marvellous to blow out the cobwebs.

Many years ago I read and studied the documents relating to the enquiry into Chernobyl. A lot of the problem caused by the initial accident was due to shoddy construction. Particularly badly made concrete foundations. Irregularities in the concrete aided the escape of the material when it might otherwise have stayed contained. I know I'm being horribly racist, but one assumes that a Japanese reactor wouldn't be made with bloody awful construction standards. So, fingers crossed we can hope for the best here.

Hard to say what is going on, as officials are being very close lipped. However, indications are that the core was shut down early, and a meltdown is unlikely.

I parlayed my contract so I got a 'ruggedized' simple phone instead of a smartphone, and tripled my minutes and texts. Because I use my mobile phone to phone on the move.

Thanks anyway, humanoid. This one has WPA, and I doubt the maximum speed would be possible on our antiquated lines.

According to my attorney they have already failed. Huge sympathy to Japan right now, though. Can't really justify it particularly. Just a lot.

Good news, there. I'm just reading Dan Abnett again. Simply too hard to justify reading inferior fantasy writers.

ROFL ~ EDIT: plus LMAO

Thought: what if Jesus didn't rise from the grave, but was brought back from a cynical world weary position propping up a bar? "We want you back in the game, Jesus." "I don't do that any more." "But you were the best!" "I'm just a fisherman now. You can tell my father he can keep his stinking badge."

A sexy psychiatrist? At least that way you're not being morally reprehensible, since it's a win either way for your friend. BTW, thanks for the applause, gentlemen. I consider you to have paid off the loon's debt for him. EDIT: if budget is an issue I suppose logically you could send him to an extremely wise hooker.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/BT-Home-Hub-3/dp/B...1533&sr=1-5 This is the new bit of tat I've been offerred. I want to know if I should run ith it as a replacement for my 5 year old router, or buy another one which can do all the same things. This one looks shiny, but I'm concerned that the really important bits like security will be mickey moused, as its predecessors were.

LOL I had to look up what we were talking about in order to understand this.

Saved a man from being trapped under a train at Paddington station last night. Stupid bastard dropped something under the train about to depart and dived after it like a ferret down a rabbit hole. I had to grab his ankles to stop him sliding in after it. Very impressed with my quickness of thinking. Other bystander stopped to help haul him back up and out. Nearly smashed my laptop as I dropped it in haste. Git didn't even stop to thank me/us properly.

I just realised we've gota business associate down in NZ who I've not spoken to in a while. I can't work out if it's a bit lame to email now and check he's OK.

We hit that stage a couple minutes ago, but I just put on Remember me, and we've punched through the doldrums like a cavalry charge of angry bees through an old man's horrified face.

House of Pain

Well, I was whingeing about them here. Kind of reflects poorly on the franchise, and the engine that runs New Vegas.

Wake me up when we can have a good fight with them. EDIT: or at tea time. Whichever is first.

Surely if they were going to stir **** up then they'd have been better off with a number of featureless black spheres that exploded into an acidic gas when anyone tried to tamper with or x-ray them. That would have driven the conspiracy people nuts.

This reinforces my view that most family GPs could be replaced with a friendly woman handing you a warm and freshly laundered towel. And to think some people get those frequently. Yeah, my mother has some one-use pen injectors with some reaaally good meds for the migraines she gets. One shot in the thigh and boom, out like a light for about 6 hours (Of course, that's a pretty restricted prescription). Although actually I have to say, she hasn't had as many bad ones in the last half a year or so. So I'm pretty much thinking it's a family curse. It's one of those annoying things, we used to have a really good GP. But he retired..and his replacement..well, is a nice guy. A very pleasant Doctor. Just his medical skills aren't exactly great. I mean, I know my mother has a nice collection of medical conditions, and her file is inches thick and there's a whole batch of pharmacutical products they have her on... But for over a year he misdiagnosed that she'd developed diabetes and kept telling her she was only suffering from "side-effects" of the drugs she was on. Ignoring her comments that she'd been on most of those drugs for years without those side-effects. And he's kind of like that with the rest of the family. As a person, he's nice and friendly. Just as a doctor, he's a little bit crap.

I hate you so much. I hope you know that.
