MikeyT Posted 17 March 2011 Author Posted 17 March 2011 God wouldn't use earthquakes to unleash his fury. He'd use an outdated gun "A to the Muther Fucking K home boy" Suprised there hasn't been some form of demonstration about this!
MikeyT Posted 17 March 2011 Author Posted 17 March 2011 I can see the resembleance My toe nails are longer.
BoneDog Posted 17 March 2011 Posted 17 March 2011 She should leave that to the Catholic church. It's their specialty. True, but those at the top of the Catholic hierarchy aren't really Christians so they probably enjoy giving Christianity a bad name.
ACF Posted 18 March 2011 Posted 18 March 2011 Leicester is North of the M25. Leicester is "The North." East Midlands Today. Case closed.
MikeyT Posted 18 March 2011 Author Posted 18 March 2011 East Midlands Today. Case closed. Leicester is in the MIDDLE!!! Tis the heart of rural England and there's a reason why the area we live in is known as the MIDLANDS!! Anywhere below us is going to call us Northern aren't they.

MikeyT Posted 18 March 2011 Author Posted 18 March 2011 Yes, but we're not 'Northern Coontz' are we, we're lovely, no nonsense Midlanders. WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE. Certainly not.

Asha Posted 19 March 2011 Posted 19 March 2011 I always say Leicester is in the 'North'. Rather be a northerner than a southerner.
Simmo86 Posted 19 March 2011 Posted 19 March 2011 I always say Leicester is in the 'North'. Rather be a northerner than a southerner. Me too. Always class myself as a northerner
FoxyPV Posted 19 March 2011 Posted 19 March 2011 Leicester is no more in the north than Glasgow is in England.
Finnegan Posted 19 March 2011 Posted 19 March 2011 I always say Leicester is in the 'North'. Rather be a northerner than a southerner. You can say that Al Pacino is your dad or that Messi plays for City, it doesn't make it true. You're from the Midlands, deal with it. The Southerners think you're a Northerner, the Northerners think you're a Southerner and neither of them really give a toss.
Webbo Posted 19 March 2011 Posted 19 March 2011 If you ignore the Midlands then the border between north and south is roughly about the Trent, which just puts us in the south. Personally I consider my self an East midlander.
Zingari Posted 19 March 2011 Posted 19 March 2011 i would think the Japanese ( remember them ? it's what the thread is about ) think of us all as Westerners It's very confusing
Thracian Posted 19 March 2011 Posted 19 March 2011 They're not a collection of retards, I'm sure they know what they're doing. I'm glad you're sure. But maybe if you knew just how many important mistakes supposedly intelligent make you'd have a different view. What is it they say...a scientist is never a failure because, if nothing else, he discovers 100 things that are not the answer. And, quite apart from everything they don't know or haven't experienced, major industries are in the business of protecting their interests and the stakes are so high they'll lie, cheat, bribe, lobby, change and manipulate anything they believe will help their cause....just like the anti-nuclear lobby who are equally selective with the truth if it suits their purposes. Some of the above has already been highlighted in relation to Japanese nuclear power plants so where any of your confidence in experts comes from I've no idea. I hope you're right of course but the decisions they've made already in terms of location, theoretical reaction to disaster or emergency decommissioning seem sadly flawed so far and yet it's not even reasonable to suggest such a catastrophe couldn't have been anticipated. Seeing as I'd have said a potentially sizeable earthquake/ tsunami where this one struck was more than likely over time while so-called experts seem to have underestimated the potential for disaster I'm not at all sure sure what you definition of retard is based on. The brighter and more expert you are, surely the bigger retard you are for failing to anticpate potential danger and to decide on a sensible and effective containment plan . As always, I'll bet there'll be major improvements in future!
Finnegan Posted 19 March 2011 Posted 19 March 2011 I'm not saying that nobody with knowledge has ever made a mistake or that there aren't things they won't know. I mean, for example, they could only possibly theorize the damage one of history's most powerful earthquakes would have on their facilities. The point I was making is that they'll have countless experts on nuclear power working around the clock to combat the situation and a bunch of relatively uneducated tabloid readers passing comment from the other side of the world likely don't really particularly qualified to pass much judgement.
Zingari Posted 20 March 2011 Posted 20 March 2011 tough old stick An 80-year-old woman and a 16-year-old boy have been plucked from the rubble of a house demolished by the enormous quake which hit Japan nine days ago. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12798807
OzFox Posted 21 March 2011 Posted 21 March 2011 I'm not saying that nobody with knowledge has ever made a mistake or that there aren't things they won't know. I mean, for example, they could only possibly theorize the damage one of history's most powerful earthquakes would have on their facilities. They could have done a lot more than theorise, all they had to do was look at their own history. They had big quakes near some of their nuclear plants only a few years ago. Each time the ground movement was supposedly beyond what the plants were designed to withstand. They were just lucky the epicentres weren't closer. They've also been hit by dozens of tsunamis, some far worse than this one in terms of size and casualties. So to build nuclear power stations on the coast then act surprised when a big wave comes though seems a little irresponsible.
BoneDog Posted 27 March 2011 Posted 27 March 2011 This is horrendous. Can't believe how quickly the water rises or how high it comes up against the building. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEn0vnq1PVI The news is also getting much worse regarding the radiation issue especially in Japan, but elsewhere too. Apparantly as far away as Belgium has seen radiation from Japan, as has Vienna. The offices of the european headquarters of the UN in Vienna monitors radiation levels worldwide and their radiation monitor on the roof confirmed radiation levels of 150 micro c\verts per hour a couple of days ago. Does the stuff get carried in pockets in the air and then suddenly drops to the ground or something? 'Cos part of Wales got it bad from Chernobyl, and is still dangerous, and I always wondered how it got just there and not all other places on the way. Edit : I'm not sure what those c \ verts are or if it's spelt correctly - I heard about that on the radio a couple of days ago.
BoneDog Posted 27 March 2011 Posted 27 March 2011 That video was absolutely terrifying to watch. Yes it's very scary and horrible thinking that while he was filming that thousands of people were being washed away. Blummin awful. I was trying to think of what it would be like if it happened round here and half the people you see every day round your way just disappeared. It's a hopeless situation and very hard to stomach for me just thinking about or watching on tv so feck knows how they are coping out there.
