    Then there's that town in Lincolnshire...

  2. Activists + technical incompetence + blind reliance on technology.

    The holy trinity of how to fuck things up.

    Do you write your posts in Mandarin using a brick, then OCR them and translate them manually into Welsh then dictate them to someone from New Guinea who types them in for you?

  6. There's plenty more where they came from.

    Why am I reminded of that scene from Enemy At The Gate?

    I like how they're rated for 20 amps just in case you decide to boil 8 kettles at once.

    These (and the other variants) are neat, but when you see a load of neat solutions on sale I always think that's a symptom that there's a sub-optimal design somewhere.

    1. If "a Russian", which Russian is being apologized to ?

    Since you're so clever you must have heard of a thing called process of elimination. Two clues for you - it's probably not the writer himself, and it's not me.

    Oh, one other thing. Stop putting spaces before question marks. It's wrong and it looks shit.

    Ivan has been slang for a Russian, or Russians collectively, since WW2 at least. GIYF.

  11. And yet if they spent a percent of a percent of that on things that poor people use you'd be frothing at the mouth about big gubmint.

    He doesn't own the only drilling machine in the world, and even if he did there's a tiny little bit more to it than that.

    I used to watch Thunderbirds when I was a kid. Even then I knew it wasn't a documentary.

    An intelligent service of another nation is using a real passport stolen in a nation to do their own missions around the work.

    What would a stupid service do, then?

    That's not the worst of it - they mainly attack with the legs, which are even longer, even stronger and have even bigger claws on them. They can rip your giblets out.

    This is probably the reason they also have retractable bollocks.

  17. When they did Crossrail in London they did it by dead-reckoning.

    I've never been anywhere where the wall sockets take those.

    Hmm, they look a bit like those that come with universal adapters, where you always lose the ones you actually need and have a drawer full of the others. And aren't the pins a bit close together for 240V?

    Oh wait, you're talking about an entirely fucking different thing, you 'dromie.
