Sweden won Eurovision song contest.

 

[Lamp]

Ppl still watch it?

 

[Lakih]

I guess, I read about it on twitter

 

[CorNokZ]

Denmark didn't go through from the semi finals (yes they have semi finals now), so didn't watch it this year

 

[Raven]

I am disappointed we scored. I really had my hopes pinned on last spot.

 

[Edmond]

I just looked at the BBC site to see were we came, and it was 24th out of 27th, but that wasn't what made me look twice, it was the fact that Australia came 5th

Australia....in the Eurovision song contest......in Europe?!?!?....Australia

Am I missing something?

 

[Ormorof]

They were invited to participate in 60th anniversary edition as theres so many extra viewers in Oz (not to mention all the people who like Oz and will spend money voting for them)

Ze Germans and Ze Austrians with nil points lol

 

[Job]

Please don't mock Germany and Austria, you know what happened last time.

 

[mooSe_]

It was on at like 4am here so fuck dat

 

[Bodhi]

Yup, quite informative, slowed me down and gave a framework to show me how I was taking risks, getting into confrontations for nothing, the reasons behind speed limits are explained so intelligently that you feel a fuckin moron for thinking you know better.

You are a fucking moron though. And you'd have to be a colossal fucking moron to find the course in any way enlightening.

Only worth doing to keep the points off your license, otherwise a waste of 3 hours getting preached at using flawed arguments.

3 hours?! I had to do a whole day.

Their arguments are not flawed, they are compiled by the people who pick up the dead bodies,dig through twisted metal and have to break the news to relatives.
Your own flawed opinion of how fast you can go.and how dangerous a situation is, is based on your own bravado and lack of experience.
99% of people who total cars or mow down pedestrians thought they were doing just fine until they weren't.
Accidents don't just happen, idiots fail to appreciate the danger.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Accidents don't just happen

That's the definition of an accident

 

[Job]

The only thing that just happened was the Big Bang

Yet of those 99 percent of people only around 8 percent crashed due to excess speed. Any chance we could concentrate on the other 92 percent first, rather than attempting to criminalise people who stray a couple of mph over an arbitrary limit?

 

[Job]

It is not an arbitrary limit, this is the point of the course, it comes from decades of accident experience and actual crash statistics for the road.
Policies for individual lack of concentration or distraction are almost impossible to implement, but if there are many accidents you reduce the speed to give a buffer zone against mistakes.

 

[Bodhi]

It is an arbitrary limit, in the case of motorways set in the 60s when cars had drum brakes and crossply tyres.

Good to see you've drunk the kool aid tho, like a good little citizen. Baa.

In my opinion, we need to use a lot more variable limits, there's not nearly enough of it in Scotland but I've seen a fair amount of it in and around Birmingham / Manchester. I guess the argument is that in shite conditions, people should use their heads and slow down naturally. In the event of congestion, slow everyone down and keep them in lane. If it's at midnight, and it's dry, and visibility is good, then can we please do 90 mph without being criminalised? K thx.

 

[Scouse]

No she's being punished for going back on a court agreement. Not the same thing.

I think you should be able to change your mind on an agreement to mutilate another human being.

In fact, I think it should be illegal to mutilate another human being. If, when they turn 18, they want to do so then they should be allowed to do so. But not before.

 

[TdC]

that's pretty freaky

 

[Job]

JFC, Scots in the countryside are fukin loonies, I consider myself quite a fast driver on open country roads, but up in Ayrshire the locals have two speeds..stopped or whatever she'll do, dark, wet country roads with blind summits and bends, I'm doing 70, which is pushing the limit a bit and I've got 10 cars behind me, and the peel out to overtake at the most ridiculous places, gunning past to accelerate into the dark and easily touch 100, half of them are middle aged women...fukin nutters.

 

[fettoken]

Fucking yes we stuck it to those russian bastards! It look like they would go past us with a few russian-friendly countries sticking up, but a lot more non-russian friendlies voting them down. Fucking aye. Although it would have been sweet to have russia wiin the whole contest and next year have them host the competition and get invaded by gay people!

I don't disagree, but the headline is still misleading, and she should have gone back to the judge to say she'd changed her mind (and would probably have gotten a sympathetic hearing), not just run away.

Now don't say I didn't warn you, just read this, take it in and consider the implications and the offhand way they proscribe thought crime in the UK, next will be 'retraining', then arrest and shortly camps for traitors.

Got done for speeding today. 29 in a 20.
No points, but have to attend a speed awareness course. Anyone been on one?

I didn't think they enforced the speed limits in 20 zones?

I don't think I agree with what your implying from the article at all. Seems to me he's just saying that the families themselves need to be paying more attention to the early warning signs and asking for help from the authorities if they were unable themselves to stop them picking up radical ideas

So today I invaded England.

Would have got away with it if just been CCTV but the City of London police were out with their shiny radar guns. Bastards
