General Chit Chat

I see the mard prick lost his court case against the nasty lady. Good.

A victory for free speech for the left against the snowflake censorious right.

What the fxck are you on about now?
A little context would be good.
Or are you ducking a fxcking in court?

"Network Rail has recorded 619 balloon-related incidents - many dangerous - across England, Scotland and Wales in the past year."

Seems helium-filled balloons are causing havoc with train services. Who'd a thunk it!

Did you know the world is running out of helium. And we use it willy nilly to fill kids' balloons. 98% of the gas Helium is... wait for it... mined. The biggest 'Helium mine', in Poland, has just run out.
We currently have no method of Helium manufacture. When it's gone it's gone.

Yeah but it's top tackle for speaking like Pinky and Perky

Exactly . And the fxcking kids are wasting it on fxcking balloons!

You have piqued my interest in Helium. I wondered what other uses it has. Anyway:

Helium is commercially recovered from natural gas deposits, mostly from Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. Helium gas is used to inflate blimps, scientific balloons and party balloons. It is used as an inert shield for arc welding, to pressurize the fuel tanks of liquid fueled rockets and in supersonic windtunnels. Helium is combined with oxygen to create a nitrogen free atmosphere for deep sea divers so that they will not suffer from a condition known as nitrogen narcosis. Liquid helium is an important cryogenic material and is used to study superconductivity and to create superconductive magnets. The Department of Energy's Jefferson Lab uses large amounts of liquid helium to operate its superconductive electron accelerator.

Well, perhaps also you can help me too, Malc? See, I'd like to know of these multiple purposes for multi-purpose compost, because I only ever use it for planting stuff in.
I'd love to know what else I could, and possibly should, be using it for?

Just a few alternative uses:

"In ecosystems, compost is useful for erosion control, land and stream reclamation, wetland construction, and as landfill cover"

Aparently.

there's no way to make dairy a climate-friendly product.

Now I'm no expert but I know for sure that's not true.

"Scientists have created a climate friendly cow which expels less methane gas than regular animals."

Stick that in yer pipe, Gildea!

I don't care if cows caused the death of dinosaurs and the rise of fascism.
I'm still going to drink milk, slurp cream, spread butter on my toast, and snaffle full dairy cheese. If dairy is bad for the planet, then fxck the planet.
(On a serious note, it's not the number of cows, it's the huge population of humans what is the problem).

This seems a little different from when I went to school (granted a while ago now)

No particular fan of Diane Abbot, I. However, she's been photographed drinking from a can of mojito on a train and sections of the press have taken it upon their holier-than-thou selves to kick off about it. So 4ucking what? Who actually hasn't had a drink on public transport? Give her a break, for 4uck's sake.

[Prufrock]

Absolutely. I think it's genuinely the first news story including the words "Diane" and "Abbott" where I've finished thinking better of her then before I started.

[jimbo]

She doesn’t help herself a lot of the time but the press really do have an agenda against her and this piece shows it. Complete non story blown out of all proportion with negative spin.

[Enoch]

A potential Home Secretary that displays a willingness to ignore the rule of law. It's an interesting non-story.

[Enoch]

I remember then London Mayor, Boris Johnson, being castigated by the press for giving his wife a lift on his bicycle. Quite right too.

Why does this law exist at all? Do we know?

It was introduced by Boris Johnson in 2008 "to improve the safety and security of public transport in London and create a better environment for the millions of Londoners who rely on it."

Boris Johnson is a MASSIVE bellend. Our German office is an hour's train ride from Frankfurt Airport. The highlight of having to go over there is that on the post-meeting train between Fulda and Frankfurt you get just enough time for a couple of gorgeous litres of draft Warsteiner.
I'm yet to see anybody pissed, anybody kicking off, anything other than people enjoying a couple of beers as we travel between two points.
Alcohol being available, or being consumed on trains isn't a problem, people getting on who are already cunted are.

I absolutely agree with you, Bruce. I catch the train to London on a regular basis. I have seen quite a few (mainly retired people) who have got a little picnic out with a half bottle of wine or miniature bottles of spirits. None have been loud or abusive.

On the other hand, I sometimes catch the last train from Victoria to Manchester at the weekend and there have been some pissed up dickheads, all of who were leathered before they boarded (like you said).

This alcohol ban only applies to London public transport. I suppose they can't have two rules:

1. You can drink as long as you are not going to get pissed and be a dick.

2. You are not allowed to drink if you are a dick when you are pissed. I have yet to hear anyone describe themselves as a dick.

If they don't want certain people to drink on the train then they have to ban everyone. I don't agree with it but I can understand why they have done.
