…and hopefully Guinea worm shortly.

Yep. This thread epitomises why I canned twitter and Facebook.

He’s an absolute gem. The time he creates for himself in crowded areas is amazing.

It’s the worst film I’ve seen at the flea pit so far this year. Yet more proof that Marvel really is collapsing in on itself.

It’s decent enough, better than I was expecting but it’s essentially a retread of the first movie.

I didn’t get the A-level results I wanted (Mel Machin’s fault), decided to give clearing a miss, took a year out to work and get my head straight, then went BSc, MSc and PhD one after the other and loved it. Congratulations to everyone who got what they needed, but if you didn’t it really isn’t...

Ebola. Also Dracunculiasis though hopefully that’s about to follow smallpox and be eradicated.

Russians have been using obsolete stuff for decades. Back in the early 2010’s when I was working in Republic of Congo there a small but growing group of Russian mercenaries in country. They usually flew helicopters - a combination of troop transports and gunships (the Congolese government hardly...

What’s Carl Griffiths up to these days?

Yes. first hand. Multiple times. What’s your point? Are South Africans on the streets clamouring for a return to Apartheid? I guess it takes a while to overcome the legacy of being ruled for half a century by pariah fascists.

Thanks for that. I just fucking ate.

‘Top dog fascist gets the boys in the corner Plants poison where there was just confusion Walks away Scot-free and laughing Rides on the tide as the cancer grows’ New Model Army had some of these wankers nailed 40 years ago.

Sorry to hear this. I had a fantastic holiday staying in Bran about 10 years ago. It’s a glorious, unspoiled and relaxed part of Europe full of lovely people. The bear warning signs were a bit alarming, though.

The figures I used are from The World Bank’s open data project and I didn’t go through every country, it’s an estimate based on the 15 most populous nations. Not perfect and probably on the conservative side. The International Monetary Fund are predicting an African population of just under 2.5...

It’s still the most dead eyed piece of satire I’ve seen on British TV. We have a monthly newsletter at work and occasionally a new editor will ring me and ask for a story. I’ve gone through ‘Where now for man raised by puffins?’ And ‘Crazed wolves in store a mistake admits Mothercare’ before...

‘At the newspipe, Douglas Troxx!’

FWIW I don’t think anyone (well 99%) of the people here would consider an honest sober conversation about immigration to be ‘far right’ or racist. I certainly wouldn’t. The problem is that the vast majority of these conversations aren’t really honest because they place artificial constraints...

Rees-Mogg the elder was every bit the **** his son is, albeit without the Jack The Ripper cosplay. One from the ‘there’s no such thing as society’ end of Thatcher’s Tory party, an advocate for disaster capitalism before the term was coined and went from a Murdoch-hater to an apologist when he...

This is a really important question we rarely ask, mainly because we won’t like the answer, I suspect. Where you’re born is a lottery, and people might have a bit more empathy if they had actually lived in a country with a society so broken that even things like basic healthcare and social...

Entirely accurate (at least as far as Lincs is concerned) but, to be fair, the locals are also lazy as fuck - kicking a wall down for ammo is far too much like hard work for most of the chin-scrapers round here. Still, it’s shaping up to be a long, unpleasant night.
