News of the day

[John Arne]

So, it turns out that the US student who was arrested in DPRK stole a propaganda poster.

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/mar/01/us-accuses-north-korea-of-using-detained-student-for-propaganda

He has since made a full and completely sincere apology.

In a prepared statement read out before TV cameras, Warmbier said a female member of Friendship United Methodist Church in Wyoming, Ohio, had offered him a used car worth $10,000 if he could return with the banner as a “trophy” from North Korea.

According to North Korean state news agency KCNA, the woman had also promised to pay Warmbier’s mother $200,000 if he was arrested and detained in the North.

I hope that's true. Seems like the dumbest wager you could agree to. Also, you don't ask yourself for forgiveness, mate. You ask them.

All Tim Hart required was a par on the final hole of the Queensland PGA and he would have shot an incredible 58 - it would also have won him the tournament.

Instead - disastrously - the Australian triple bogeyed the 18th at Toowoomba, ended up in a playoff against New Zealander David Klein and lost on the first hole.

I don't think it's really necessary to take what was essentially a dick joke so personally.

12am on a Sunday and most of midweek - 2am on Friday/Saturday. It's great.

Pubs, though.

What?

Any pubs I knew in England didn't close at 11 on Fridays and Saturdays. They did during the week, sure, but not Fridays and Saturdays.

[Lewis]

I thought it was eleven for most days, and midnight for Friday/Saturday (and even then some dickhead will be open until one/two in the city).

[GS]

We get until 1am in Northern Ireland on the rare occasions I'm still out at that time.

When I was in Glasgow for a stag do over the summer, the pubs shut at midnight on a Saturday night. We just ascribed it to the Scots' tempestuous relationship with alcohol consumption in moderation and lolled ourselves home at a reasonable time.

[John]

Some pubs do, some are open until three.

Last orders is at 11pm, with usually 30 mins to drink up. This is unless the place has a late license, which means it can stay open until...later

Shopkeeper stabbed to death hours after he posted happy Easter*message http://dailym.ai/1Sl3o2R via http://dailym.ai/android

@Saint

[Angelsaint]

So the reason of the attack is unknown.
You must be a "tit" to take any conclusion in forehand.

[John]

The twat who knifed Asad Shah had travelled from Bradford to do so. It may not have been specifically about the Easter message, but it was definitely to do with the fact that he was all about tolerance.

[Angelsaint]

The twat who knifed Asad Shah had travelled from Bradford to do so. It may not have been specifically about the Easter message, but it was definitely to do with the fact that he was all about tolerance.
So... I was right and you keep on the road of taking speculation for absolute truth.

When will you learn?

[John]

The actual killing was likely to do with the sect of Islam he came from, but do you think some nutcase in Bradford comes to know about a quiet shopkeeper a couple of hundred miles away if that shopkeeper isn't all over Facebook talking about love for all people?

[Angelsaint]

If we are into speculation. What about this: shopkeeper being killed in robbery gone wrong?

Wasn't he Muslim and the message on Facebook that would be everyone first guess.

[John]

Yes, that's possible. But do you think it likely that someone from Bradford travelled to Glasgow for the day to rob a small newsagents a couple of minutes off the main road?

[Angelsaint]

Again in the speculation area...
May be that he saw a opportunity.
No one knows him.
Muslim shops normally have very few employees.
Easy escape since local police would first look for local criminals.

Just sayin...

[Kikó]

What are you just saying? Other than nonsensical speculation ...

[John]

Jesus Christ. A slow drip of information is usually the best way to bring idiocy out of Saint, but that's great. He saw an opportunity to rob a tiny shop two hundred miles away.

Asad Shah was an Ahmadi Muslim, a sect of Islam which promotes peace above violence and is viciously persecuted in Pakistan. The bloke who killed him is a Sunni Muslim, the sect of Islam from which ISIS hail, and the sect most responsible for persecuting the Ahmadis.

Not all speculation is created equal in this case.

You should be a vigilante! You already judged the guy. No need for courts or police investigation for you.

[John]

Those are all known facts, Saint. Tell me, which scenario do you think is most likely?

[Angelsaint]

Those are all known facts, Saint. Tell me, which scenario do you think is most likely?
What the hell?

You are serious?

This " let's unite against Saint" campaign is getting more and more ridiculous.

I know it's hard to accept that after many years making propaganda that I was just a racist troll and now I show up and give most a lesson, it's not hard to swallow.
You have my completely understanding but this is life when someone is not wrongly banned and can answer .

Back to point. You are honestly using a credible scenario as the truth?

This explains a lot.

[John]

There is no 'unite against Saint' campaign.

The police have already said they suspect it was an attack with 'sectarian motivations', and given the known facts I've said what I think has happened. If the truth comes out and it's different, fine. Until then I think the scenario I've outlined is likely to be the truth.

Now, tell me. What information is your botched robbery theory based on? Not baseless speculation, I hope.

Stop mentioning your 'wrongful banning' in every thread. I've already told you that if you want to get into that you can PM me.

[Angelsaint]

My scenario as yours is based on credible speculation.

We are going in circles and I am not discussing with someone who clearly don't want to listen.

About me mentioning my "wrongful banning" on every thread. I defy you to show me those threads.
Besides ours pm exchange showed that you don't have the slightest clue to why I was banned.

Anywho let's move on and don't discuss that dark moment of anyone involved in that incident.
I already moved on.

[Kikó]

What's your credible speculation saint other than just posting words and expecting us to accept it at face?

[Angelsaint]

Well...some shopkeepers get robbed because the criminal sees a opportunity.
You know?

Some robbery gone wrong and people die!

OMG! Where do I took that idea from? No one was expecting this theory! Never in mankind history happened!

[Lewis]

Are we certain that he was even killed?

Stabbed thirty odd times and had his head jumped on. Could have already been dead of a heart attack though, so I suppose not.

Obviously the technology is there but I've never seen it used this way. I don't think it's the worst idea in the world; we should definitely be using stuff like FaceTime and Skype for outpatient follow ups, for example. Not quite sure about a virtual doctor rolling about the place though.

It's comforting to know if he hadn't done it plenty of others would have.

Someone should draw a cartoon of Mo with a big peace sign upon him.

We really need an Al0n style picture of Mo wanking over a picture of Allah shagging a kid on a PC screen.

There are few things we need less than that.

What the fuck? Why are they so far behind? I had no idea about this before reading the article. What an absolute disgrace.



Fatal foetal abnormalities, rape and incest are not circumstances in which abortions can be performed legally.


I thought I was reading an article about Sri Lanka for a moment.

[Boydy]

Because our biggest party are a bunch of fundamentalist Christians.

[GS]

That wasn't the case until the St Andrews agreement, and you had almost forty years between the passing of the 1967 Abortion Act and that agreement.

As is alluded to in the article, Northern Ireland remains a (relatively) Christian country, particularly outside Belfast. There has also been no political will whatsoever to effect change in the legislation - I suspect because there are far more people who feel strongly that the current status quo should continue than there are people who feel strongly that it should change.

Finally, as Boydy suggests, we're now in a position where our biggest party have a significant number of fundamentalist Christians. It's a devolved responsibility, so I can't see any scenario in the next few years which would produce circumstances conducive to changing the legislation.

[Boydy]

Was there not a poll on it recently that showed the majority were in favour of a change or am I getting it mixed up with gay marriage?

[GS]

From the BBC article:


When the Department for Justice in Northern Ireland conducted a consultation on abortion law in 2014, there were 712 individually written responses and 579 of those opposed change with 133 supporting change. A poll by Millward Brown for Amnesty International in 2014 suggested that 69% thought abortion should be legally available in the case of rape, 68% believed it should be in the case of incest and 60% thought it should be where there was a fatal abnormality in the foetus.

The problem is, the majority are going to vote for candidates who aren't interested in changing the law - so it's a largely irrelevant statistic in that context.

[Giggles]

Not a bad idea.

There's been something on the radio today about a celebrity sex scandal with a gagging order on English press. However he has already been named and shamed in Scottish media and online. Who is it?

So it wasn't even Elton? Fucking lol.

[John]

Yeah, I saw an article which mentioned one of them 'writhing' in a paddling pool full of olive oil near the beginning, at which point I was sick and resolved to never eat again.

[Boydy]

A paddling pool full of olive oil doesn't sound very sexy.

[Magic]

Good organic lube. Expensive if they filled the whole pool though.

[Disco]

I reckon Elton John's hubby has a quid or two spare for pool expenses.

[Giggles]

Good pianist, but sucks on the organ.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Depends on the quality of the oil as well as which press it was.

Can see the smoke from this over 10km from the back of the house. The area will be short on power a fair while by the sounds of it.

Has no-one posted anything about Merkel allowing the potential prosecution of the German satirist for insulting the Turkish President?

They've also been advised not to make public statements critical of Turkey.

I don't even know where to start, frankly.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

As in Merkel has advised that?

[GS]

https://www.turkishminute.com/2016/04/18/germany-advises-citizens-not-make-public-statements-turkish-government/

Only when they travel to Turkey, but even so. They're terrified of pissing the Turks off, as they can just 'open the tap' on immigration numbers. They have the EU over a barrel, and they know it.

Indeed. First of all I'm not sure what pisses you off so much about someone riding on some path but to do such a shitty thing you must be really fucked up.

That sounds about what was speculated all along, unless the mirth derives from the foiling of Spurs' dastardly plot to try and get him valued at £20m.

8 million seems perfectly reasonable for a bang average English striker.

Universities. 'Activists' there fucking love their identity politics bullshit.

I hate that sarcastic 'wow' thing they do as well. They all do that.

[Alan Shearer The 2nd]

I meant universities outside of London. Can't even remember hearing of the term 'safe space' until a lot of this flared up in the past year or so.

Likewise 'non-binary'and other such nonsense.
