How much of the England in permanent water shortage is due to most of the water capacity being leaked out of antiquated infrastructure which the privatised water companies have never bothered their arse to update/fix?

I'm 99% sure that Barry in Four Lions is supposed to be a parody of David Wulstan Myatt.

Which goes a way to explaining why he's so ready to bomb a mosque to 'radicalize the moderates', being a neo-nazi conspiracy oval office wearing Muslim vibes more than a Muslim.

Is he the BNP guy who accidentally converted himself to Islam through extensive study of the Koran in order to better troll Muslims?

Pretty sure Morris cited him as a direct inspiration for Barry.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for going green but it's a bunch of costly initiatives at once, such as the Dundee eBikes which went bust recently, deposit return scheme, banning none electrics by 2030, etc. It just makes everyone mad about Scotgov and will cause em to vote for other parties instead. Much like APB by Realtime Worlds, some things are just too ahead of the times

The Glasgow bike scheme has been pretty successful, deposit return should have been done years ago (and the UK Gov will probably announce their own scheme soon) and oil needs to stay underground because of the coming eternal summer.

When low energy bulbs first came out they were poo poo, and were really dim and had to like gradually get brighter. Now we have the technology to have low energy bulbs that are normal but old boomers still think they're like they were in the 90s.

I used Chat GPT last night to teach me how to write a bash script that automatically backs up my home directory every evening into a compressed archive and saves it to a networked hard drive. Chat GPT is good for that, but even then it got some things wrong that I had to go back and troubleshoot myself.

I don't want it replacing my doctor.

Guy in my work hosed off back to mainland Europe for 3 months and worked remotely, but he was told to come back once they found out and ended up just quitting.

It was less of a ballache before that whole 2016 thing as I had friends who would be based in Dublin for work but be resident in Glasgow and commute in for days when they were required in the office.

It would've been my older sister if anything.

She also claims to have hallucinated legless sausage dogs climbing the walls when she was pregnant with my sister.

I assume they used to give pregnant women some wild rear end drugs in the 60s and 70s.

I don't believe in ghosts, at least in the conventional sense... but I have an unexplained 'thing' on a 35mm photo in my possession from 2005

It's from a roll of film that a filmmaker friend and a hired photographer took over the space of an hour to set up location shots at the boathouse at Radford Lake for the eventual shoot. All of the photos are normal apart from this frame:



Zoom



Enhance.



He said nobody could have walked into the shot without him or the photographer noticing. I even went to the location myself to try to work out a logical explanation, and there isn't one.

He got really spooked by this picture, and it took a lot of persuasion to stop him burning the prints and negatives as he had a lot of superstitious beliefs. In the end I made it a condition of me providing a film score for one of his finished short movies (which I was going to do for him free in any case).

There is a famous legend of a ghost called the 'White Lady' at the lake, and the nearest road is actually called 'White Lady Road'.



I have no explanations but it makes for a nice picture on the wall. I still have the negatives too.

That ghost looks like he's going taps aff.

I was staying in a hotel for work a few years back, and the room they assigned me was off the main building in some old farmers cottages. Maybe it was a dream but I'm sure I woke up in the night and could hear the shower in the bathroom running it was pretty freaky so I ignored it and tried to get to sleep, assuring myself that it was probably just the bathroom in the room next door.

Mentioned it to reception staff the morning after, and they were like "oh yeah that bit of the building is haunted, there's always weird stuff getting reported by guests".

If there really is a national security risk posed by apps and hardware potentially under the control of hostile foreign governments, then they really should lock that poo poo down for MPs, Civil Service, Armed Forces etc.

Potential new UK communications boom incoming with British made smart phones and laptops running their own heavily modified versions of Android/BSD or whatever. If we're going to wall ourselves up like North Korea then we might as well start controlling our own tech.

Plus it would be hilarious seeing oval office MPs having to deal with shoddy Brit made garbage, give them all BBC Micros and Raspberry Pi's.
