Why make a bot that talks about mundane stuff on a fairly niche forum?
Do they just win your trust and then slowly and subtlety encourage you to like buying the daily mail of something? Or is it more sinister, perhaps they are sleeper Bots that create a trusted persona, that can then be used to gather intelligence or rip you off in some way.
If they are present here, I wonder what percentage of messages on Mumsnet is from Bots? Each reinforcing the irrational behaviour that seems to stem from there.
Dr B, my comments were in no way meant to be a criticism of the management of the forum.
Bad Idea. Even commercial greenhouse frames are pretty flexible, it will rattle like mad with the bass, then panes of glass will start falling on people as the vibrate lose. Assuming a decent rig.
Many years ago I went to a party in a polly tunnel. It was raining sweat all night long the humidity was ridiculous, even in winter. Do they not have a suitable storage barn?I spent some time in Sweden and really enjoyed my time there, and nipping across to Copenhagen for party nights in Christiansen (like a Amsterdam/glasto hybrid). I have to say bar the climate I would live there. You may be right in that you don’t earn much after tax as a teacher in Sweden but the social security payments are amazing nearly the same as full pay! I think we have a culture where its cool to be stupid, kids are encouraged to be thick. Posh and Beck’s as role models. One of them has some talent but they have half a brain between them. The number of times people ask what I do and when I tell them then give some stupid “could never understand” type answer. If they spent less time worrying about what the big brother contestants were up too and five minutes tying to understand what I told them, life would be peachy.
I played with the beta version back in the summer and was amazed to find the military base near where I work was clearly visible right down to the bunker doors and jetty I didn’t know existed. You could also see the washing on my parents washing line. I am amazed this program has been launched in a age of terrorism paranoia. Its great fun but not so fun without broadband!
Find some cows, they look very odd from above….Thanks for the info, very interesting!
I too wonder why they are being sold off now. Although I guess the secret nature of the bunkers is bound to be comprised over 50 years, as bunker busting bombs have developed recent years. I guess modern bunkers have been developed in new secret locations, to replace the cold war bunkers.
While on the subject not far from some of my favourite surf spots the government has a “secret” underground listening base. up to 1000 people work underground there monitoring communications for national secretly. Its an odd place even the car parks are under ground the 100 foot satellite dishes give the game away though.globalloon wrote:has a pub insidenice to know that while the rest of the population was dying of radiation poisoning in the post apocalyptic wasteland, the civil service could enjoy a nice pint after work :confused:
The thought of a pub full of the kind of people the goventment wants to preserve makes my skin crawl.
Anyone with an ounce of brain in the nuclear bunker would have gone mad with the thought of their impending drawn out death anyway. personally I would sooner be taken out by the plasma wave than be preserved to run the country for a few months before dying of radation sickness….
Hummm and underground party heaven. I doubt the police would be able to bust it…..
Anyone fancy clubbing together to buy it? :bigsmile:I commute by bike and car. I do about 17 miles a day on the bike come rain or shine. This time of year its grim sideways rain and strong winds off the sea. I do it partly to get some exercise and partly because the traffic is so bad it is often quicker than in the car, also for environmental reasons. The economics of it are not too good though. In the village where I work there is a good bike shop, very keen staff, but the prices are just too high. My push bike tyres cost £15 each, nothing flash about them, they are supposed to be puncture resistant but 3 punctures in the past 2 months appears otherwise. Car tyres are a similar price but you get a lot more for your money!
I got my bike from the local tip(£7), oiled the chain and pumped the tyres up and that was it for the first 6 months. But now bits are wearing out on it, its costing quite a bit of money, new chain and sprockets more tyres etc, you can buy a new bike off e-bay for the same money! I like to support the local bike shop, but not when it costs 3 times what the internet costs.
To drive the same distance I have worked out it would cost me about £250 per year, I doubt its any cheaper by bike. But it does give me time to think, which I love, actually I worked out the comparative costs while cycling to work in the summer.General Lighting wrote:you’ll lose your organic farming subsidy though…this sort of thing actually happens fairly often, although human remains usually end up being fed to livestock in Essex or Kent, being geographically nearer.
usually its the rich london types feeding their own family members or business rivals to the livestock after domestic arguments, read the crime news and you’ll see loads of people who go to HMP but never admit where the body is…
when I was at school one of the local girls in my area got topped by her angry boyfriend and fed to pigs in a local piggery.”
If you were stuck in London with a corpse, I am not sure feeding it to pigs would be the best option. Pigs will catch and eat rats by the way. I would imagine a roof top and the woodchipper is all you would need, seagulls would flock and eat the corpse pretty quickly. I would imagine what would result from a woodchipper corpse combination would be so far from human looking and so liquid you could dispose of the result very easily. Down the toilet for example.
Or for those who really like risks, and lets face it if your topping someone you got to like risks. You could place the remains in a dustbin – I estimate a full grown male to be approximately 80 litres, therefore a 100 litre dust bin would be best. Remove the spare wheel and jack from the boot floor of your car, then remove one of the rubber bungs in the bottom of the spare wheel well. Then place the bin in the spare wheel well in the boot of your car. Drive on to the M25, pull over to the hard shoulder make a hole in the bottom of the dust bin cordless drill would be handy here, or you could employ a lightly trained rat to do the job. Wither way you can then drive around London (literately) spreading the evidence as you go. The only slight floor in this plan is the possibility that the motorway might be jammed. Thus amassing the evidence. However I whole heartedly believe Margaret Thatcher’s statement in 1986 while opening the M25 that it would “solve London’s traffic problems for ever”. So there is no worries of a jam then….
Now remember people your going to need a diesel powered 9 inch to fine chipper I suggest the Morbark is the 2070XL its more than capable. This way you wont end up having to chop/smash everything up first only slight dismemberment would be necessary.
But if you want to go from corpse to goo in less than a second flat, go for the 2400XL which is an 18-inch drum chipper powered by either a 250-hp John Deere or 260-hp Cummins engine.Actually having thought about it a bit, it’s loads better just not to bother. I suggest spraying there house with slurry instead. :crazy_fre :crazy_fre :crazy_fre :crazy_fre

they should fuck off
they should be made to eat my arse:crazy_fre
while learning about he heritage and history of this once great and tolerant nation:weee:
apologies for the expletives, but seriously
Goats eat most things including the remains of rich london types after they have been pushed through a wood chipper.
Also Lydford is on Dartmoor.:crazy_fre
