And you believe Assange without question it seems.
I have no idea what happened but it seems like this is only a thing because people are trying to deflect stuff from Trump, whatever the truth there is.
I don't have particular confidence that the 'truth' will ever be known, but a conclusion will be reached after the real investigations complete, not ones which don't exist.

I'd try not to make any important decisions today if thats the braincell configuration you woke up with.

I feel that the Russian conspiracy is a thing to deflect that the leaks came from within the DNC. Although I accept we could both be wrong, neither of us has seen any evidence, our statements are based on what we choose to believe.

There was presumably a few in DNC who were pissed off at Bernie Saunders being cheated out of the nomination by the corrupt dnc leadership. Also it would explain the wikileaks statement saying that it wasn't a government-connected source that leaked the info. I don't think thats the point of the whole Trump-Russia story though.

They will, and should imo, be an inquiry/investigation of some description.
Leaving kids in cars for any length of time is dangerous on warm days. And I'd never take i lightly. But I remember once, see some bitch flag down the cops because some women went into a cafe leaving a girl behind to wait. The girl was 12 and more than capable to operating the seatbelts, doors, windows, etc. She was perfectly fine and yer wan was just being a cunt for the sake of it.

The specific accusations made by the judge were:
- the investigation failed to seek out evidence as to the innocence as well as the guilt of the accused
- there was coaching of witnesses, contamination of their statements from third parties such as solicitors for the auditors and cross-contamination of their statements between other witnesses
- the ODCE lead investigator, Kevin O'Connell had admitted destroyed potentially relevant documentary evidence
Thats not letter of the law stuff, thats banana republic stuff
No doubt there will be sackings at the ODCE over this...oh no wait, it's the Irish public sector."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

An interesting article here suggests it may have happened, but was primarily the eskimo husband offering his wife out of politeness rather than genetic planning.
A Chicago Tribune article about a guy who lived with the inuit's proposes that its not a one way thing. You sleep with a guy's gal now and the next time you bring your own wife to dinner you're expected to offer her for afters.
This guy formally studied it in the 1960s in a not very boring academic article.
Tried it once but got the cold shoulder

Drogheda Trip Report
Just back from a sortie to Drogheda, hadnt been in a while, for some reason whenever i do its basking in sun. Stopped in Southgare shopping centre just before Drogheda and they had a good looking Spanish tapas and bar there but it was closer to breakfast than lunch and i chose the cafe beside it because I liked the look of the French toast with bacon and cream cheese. The cream cheese part my radar was suspicious about but i ordered it anyway to the energetic and friendly front of shop woman who controlled and orchestrated everything you just knew. Got a pot of tea and i liked it took a bit of time to arrive so you know they are actually making it. By this stage i noticed some of the staff were remedial which is fine and there was a good ambience in the place other than me!. Im feeling this was a good choice rather than the cafe bar and then it arrived. It was 2 slices of white bread on top of eachother egg toasted on only one side and 2 soft fatty rashers swimming in a mayonnaise type sauce!. ffs!. Cream cheese my hat, done again.
Scraped most of it off and made the best of it. Surely you have to expect french toast egg smeared and fried on both sides though?. Made some mental points of constructive input if i was asked did i enjoy it when i paid but wasnt asked so didnt say anything. Southgate SC was clearly built in the boom with further boom to come and looks a bit bare overall as a result.
I get to Drogheda and park in a multi. Baking warm and i go for a stroll around the town and the ramparts all around the houses. On the way back i spotted and went into a Tullys bookies up the hill from the main town. Like a converted barbers, one aul one there and a couple of quare hawk locals. I notice the 12.08 Swindon was 3 minutes away and not priced up yet and the Kinsley 12.17 screen is up with no prices. They did have the inside/outside trap specials up for swindon but not the outrights. The wiring and tv configuration looked iffy. I go up and point this out and she says shur tell us what one you want a price on and i can find it out!. Pfff thats not really the point i proffer trying to take as much perceived edge out of the comment as not to get her gander up. Had a small placepot bet before i left not that i really wanted to but more to show her i wasnt just a punter who points out the wrongs but one who can make an observation and despite it not being put right doesn't let that deter him from having a bet.
Walked down the street in the high sun feeling like mad dogs and Englishmen and was accosted once again by a gaggle of young people collecting for child autism in yellow high vis. It happened earlier but i didnt mention it as im resilient and hardy but after one bunch of people accosted me again after this lot not 50yds from the last group i cracked.
I turned and said to the middle aged woman who i correctly assumed was the ringleader due to the fact she was 40 years older than the 14 year olds and said 'Theres more collectors i just passed there yards away indicating id only been chugged at yards away!?' ...
Her: Well were a school
Me: It just seems a like its a bit overkill its like they are there and all over the town?
Her: Were a school
Me: Well....
....Her: Were a school (said in a tone as to indicate thats the end of your complaint mister).
Me: Ok...Ok...okay
I go into Marks and Spencer to escape it but no theres another collector there. This this woman is different, a cheerful retired looking woman collecting for Temple Street full of like. Purple vis instead of Yellow high vis and on her own which is nicer than being accosted by 3+ chuggers. She gave me the same greeting coming out as she did going in almost like she didnt remember my face when i went in the first time which made me feel like i hadnt been judged after the first time so i stopped to tell her about her competitors outside on the streets chugging overkill and she just cheerfully said she just does it occasionally as she once had a child in Temple Street and also for the social aspect(talking with people like me i assume if you call that social). I gave her a euro and stipulated i was doing it as she was on her own and on account of the yellow high viz brigade probably having a negative impact on her day. I bade her good luck and wished her well and as i was turning away she indicated to me to take a pen off a little fold up table yards away which contained Temple Street pens and lollipops. Shur ok i said all perked up until i copped a little sign that said €2 which stopped me in my tracks because i had only given her €1. I kind of looked back gauging would i be expected to ante up another euro and if i would it would be a deal breaker but by her expression she didnt seem to be angling and to be proper i now said no its ok to the pen ill leave it because ive plenty of pens. As soon as i was at the door i knew i should have gone for a casual lollipop instead as there were loads and she really didnt seem to care and i was thinking something sweet like that would have been just the job.
All in all on leaving Drogheda i came away feeling less refreshed and relaxed than before i arrived.

Actually to add to the weird offering of woman to sleep with to spread genetic diversity;
The Canadian version of the Amish, the Mennonites, do something similar. They will allow you to bone their woman folk. There is a bit of a gamble though, which may appeal to this audience.
The woman is covered in a white sheet from with a hole for her vagina. You two pump chump it and they get a brand new genetically diverse baby. Sometimes they will even pay you!
Isn't the world just weird as fuck sometimes.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

I know you disagree, but I think Iran can become the voice of reason in that region. The Lebanon being the only reasonably sane one there at the moment.

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostSome of these are difficult.
Think I got a few, and random thoughts on the others:
SPOILER
1. Snakes on a plane (plain), obv
2. hmm no idea, seems to be Monday or Tuesday, but google suggests that is unlikely to be the answer as it refers to a 1966 Yugoslavian movie
3. Average Girl / Average Woman. But that doesn't sound like a movie.
4. No idea
5. 8 mile, the eminem one
6. No idea.
7. Inception or Requiem for a Dream?
8. Alpha and Omega - there was a cartoon called this it seems
9. 13
10. The sum of all fears. Thats a nice one.
I think you have a few wrong and a few other guesses:
SPOILER
2/ Independence day
3/Mean girls
4/ paths to glory (we were talking about it the other day here )
6/ MAtrix (revolutions , maybe)
7/ I think it might be field of dreams... not sure
9/ would be 13th floorTurning millions into thousands

Last day in my job yesterday, I was offered sponsorship by the company but turned it down to move home, nice to be offered though.
GMAT in 3 weeks which is more difficult that I envisaged but the score I need is completely achievable.
A week off now, maybe Lions vs Barbarians, 20$ general admission, hard to pass up, a week in Fiji, 2 weeks back in Auckland to tie up loose ends, selling the car etc with a couple more Lions games, then 2 weeks in in Bali to finish off the year.
Great decision overall especially given I really wasn't sure of my choice at the time.
I can't even imagine how bad a shape I'd be in if I had stayed in BF, the nights were really starting to take their toll.
