I didn't think you were daft enough to agree with that - the original tweet was mocking conspiracy theories you eejit.

PS The bomber seems to be yet another one of his predictions that was bang on accurate. Must be embarrassing for the "real" political commentators, getting shown up by a pothead cartoonist.

Yep. And I only read the first sentence.

There's plenty on this forum who "believe in freedom of speech" - but there "are limits". Of course not these sort of limits, but limits nonetheless.

Humans are dumb

I realised it was a 'joke'. It was still the sort of shit that makes him a bell-end.

Well, they did "carefully balance her right to freedom of expression with the right of others to have their religious feelings protected.”

lols.

Whilst there is some truth to this the same shit was going in Europe as well. When a girl was old enough to menstruate she was considered a women and available to marry and bare children. Or the marriage was political Richard II married a 6 yr old!

No one worships Richard II though.

Aye and saying something is acceptable because it happened in medieval England is a bit of a stretch

Not saying it is acceptable, just that it was going on in Europe as well as the Middle East. Different times and applying modern (also morally right) thinking and laws to something that happened 100's of year ago is also a stretch. It is inflammatory and that is the way the court saw it. She is factually correct given modern moral and lawful standards and I don't personally agree with the judgement as it is a bad precedent to set against free speech.

British Airways at it again...
British Airways 'flight from hell' left more than 200 furious passengers stuck for THREE days | Daily Mail Online
BA passengers in three-day journey 'hell'

Exact thing happened to me almost 8 years ago. Arrived for my flight Friday evening after having worked all day. Spent next 3 days in JFK, most of it sitting on floor by the BA help desk. Eventually the airport management lost their shit and told them to sort it out, and we got put in a hotel somewhere on Long Island until a replacement plane could be organised. Zero information from BA throughout. Calling no help, speak to help desk. No one there, and when she was there, she couldn't help.

Last December when I flew back, BA flights were cancelled and it was the same thing. I was flying that evening to London via Iceland, and people had been sitting on the floor for 2 days. Same lady in charge, giving same old excuses. Never ever fly across the Atlantic with these scumbags.

That sinking feeling when a “flight delayed” message comes up on the departures board and you know you’re going to miss your connecting flight and probably end up spending the night in fucking Frankfurt

Never thought I'd see myself type this, but going Tranatlantic now I tend to pick one of the US Carriers. Delta suffer from an ageing fleet which can make flights uncomfortable, but my experiences with United and American have been great. Best trip across was LHR - Houston with United, properly attentive staff (this was a couple of weeks after that incident), comfortable plane, decent in flight entertainment, and lots of free beer, usually offered before I could ask.

Also get a far better chance of getting a Dreamliner for the trip - shits on the A380 from a great height in terms of comfort imo. It may just be the configuration BA went for, but how can such a massive plane have so little room inside?

Landed in Frankfurt five minutes before the Dublin flight took off. Fucksticks.

 

[Bodhi]

I feel your pain. Currently stuck in Barcelona as, due to VMworld and the Gartner conferences going on there are no flights back until tomorrow. Both colleagues flew home a couple of hours ago.

Still I've found a Shisha Bar that sells Tennents Lager, bizarrely. I know it's a cliche to come to Spain and drink British stuff, but I can't even find Tennents in England.

It also may taste like piss, but it's piss from back home.

 

[Scouse]

Why not just drink something good instead?

I don't get some brits mentality at all. If it's piss I wouldn't waste my cash or my tastebuds.

Microsoft's activation servers. Someone over there has managed to de-activate a whole bunch of Win10 pro keys, and it's expected to take at least a day or two to fix it.

 

[Bodhi]

As the other options are San Miguel or Estrella, both of which I can get at home. Tennents I cannot, and it tastes nicer than either too.

Plus, work are paying, so it's free

ARGH IT'S FUCKING KAREOKE NIGHT!!!!! "" "!" ONE

Random Catalan Bar Update : the locals are actually pretty damned good at singing, and Tennents also make Stout. And it's actually rather nice.

 

[CorNokZ]

Barcelona update: @Bodhi missed his early flight due to Tennents and 4am karaoke singing

This must be what happened to me - had a watermark appear saying Windows needed activating. Went through the troubleshooting and it prompted for me to 'upgrade'... bit the bullet and actually it can't have done much at all, just rebooted and was activated again....

Mine was sorted when it started up this morning. Looks like they got it fixed quicker than expected.

I read it goes on reboot but will re-appear after a few hours....

Activate Windows watermark (Windows 10) - [Solved] - Windows 10

Edit: My machine has run for almost 24 hours now without it appearing...

Phew. Woke up from a couple of really horrible dreams. Very rarely happens but when you wake up with a cold sweat and still feel terror for a couple of minutes.

 

[fettoken]

When someone leaves the door of your room open and you have to go stand up just to close it. Like if you agree.

That's mental institutions for you

Well that's football broken.

On the bright side, it's going to free up at least a few hours every week to do more interesting things by myself, rather than watching overpaid people do interesting things of their own.

I know your views on this, but I can only see it as a positive to be honest, hopefully it targets diving mainly and punishes people accordingly, so hopefully it won't have to be used as often.
