He took his own life according to police.

I hope no IPBers are in vegas right now. I would imagine many are familiar with people there. No reports of irish hurt though ..

It was an attack at a C&W concert, IPBers/Irish will be fine.
Spearmint Rhino on the other hand.

Started using trakt.tv lately because it's something recommended in Kodi for keeping track of things you have watched and also links in with Netflix etc.

It's a decent system but the real beauty of it was that it reminded me of the movie drafts we did here a few years ago, reading through them is good fun.

GLOLM when Corbett picked The Sixth Sense as the best movie of the 90s.

what are we meant to do with this information?!

Well if you're in the Mojave Desert, I hope you'll do the right thing

There's at least 2 IPBers mentioned above in Vegas. Not hurt that I am aware.
I would hope that the danger has passed by a number of hours at this stage.

I am sure they are fine ..it's more 'the feeling' for people actually there. ..if you know what i mean.

And I think they are giving instructions to people. They are telling people to avoid the immediate area. There are cancelled and diverted flights and some closed roads.

[Mellor]

Clearly there wasn't enough guns there to keep the peace. Guns don't kill people. People kill people.

Guns don't kill people, people who say guns don't kill people kill people, with guns

And the refugee crisis

Rohyinga muslims .

The Rohyinga are migrants who refuse to learn the native language and also have a nit of an insurgency going on. You would think they would integrate like all the other poor muslims of the world who are a great addition to Western Europe.

From this to his werewolf performances, when the lights go out on IPB Corbett will be remembered as one of the cartoon characters of the page, above even the likes of DBC

Trump is president. We are not on the right track. Our values are not what they should be right now.

You’re having an emotional reaction to the events in Vegas and that’s absolutely fine. But the reaction you’re having isn’t rational. Overall, worldwide, things are pretty good. Lots of bad things of course, but pretty much this is the best it’s ever been.

James Buchanan lobbied the US Supreme Court to find in Dred Scott that slaves and their descendants could not be US Citizens and therefore could not sue in US courts. He also allowed the south to secede from the Union. Andrew Jackson was a spectacular racist who dispossessed and forcibly moved entire nations of Indians.

Trump is terrible. But only by modern standards. He would be a pretty moderate 19th century president.

You would like to think the 19th century Trump would have been killed in a duel at a young age:

"Suh, I say suh, ah demand satisfaction for your grabbin' my daughter's pussy and sullying her womanly honour"

"Can't duel, I have bone spurs...what the?"

BANG!

No matter how bad his term goes, I doubt he'll be near the top 10 horrible heads of state in the 20th century either

Of course not. He won't get the opportunity to murder millions.

He will just be the most ineffective US President ever. All he's 'achieved' is shit-stirring on a scale hitherto unseen.

Also: where do I go to play poker in Sydney these days? Darling Harbour casino place?

P+F gets a baffling amount of serious replies. It's akin to trying to reason with a 4 year old.

I'm not suggesting he won't be useless. Just offering a counterpoint to the idea that he's Satan's spawn.

Still a few points higher in approval rating than nixons 26 while he was getting impeached. He is getting there tho

Sometimes it’s a good idea to take a moment and address a poorly thought out point of view so we can take stock of the reality of a moment. P+F appears to have an uncanny knack of reacting almost precisely the way twitter would. Almost like one of those interminable “this is what twitter users had to say” articles.

Bad thinking, poor reasoning and an orgy of hyperbole, overreaction and emotional self-indulgence is part of our society’s currency right now and P+F to a certain extent reflects that. Nothing wrong with taking a reasoned argument to it and seeing how we get on.

You don't need to go through a metal detector to get into Vegas. He could have a whole Arsenal of weapons in his room and nobody would know.

[Strewelpeter]

If deaths 50 is accurate, and not just number pulled out for scale, that will make this the highest death toll at of any US mass shooting.

Highest of the more than 300 mass shootings in the US so far this year

Onenote is one of the greatest software developments in IT for years, has changed loads of business aspects immensely for the better in places I work.

Not sure yet - definitely in Sydney Sun-Tues. Maybe longer but probably Melbourne Weds-Fri. Then over to Tasmania until Tues.

Twitter is incredibly tilting.

I wish there was a way to filter out all the 'praying for you Vegas' bullshit when trying to read actual information.

One guy was praying 'extra hard'.

'I'm gonna meditate harder than I normally do, to help the victims'

Fuck off.

Mia had a bit of a run in with a 12 yr old boy on the school bus on way home today.

Little chap aged 5/6 was using Vicks, he had a cold. The other fella was shouting in his face " you know you're gonna die from that stuff, you will prob die tonight in your sleep" kept at it till young lad started crying.

Mia snapped got up off Seat and said, " why are you saying that? Tell me why? Other lad goes" cause I wanted to see how he'd react "

So mia goes," how would you feel if you were in his shoes right now, he's younger than you so just leave him alone please." he didn't really argue with mia as such just shut his gob then.


Little fella sat in beside mia then and said" I don't like you, I like her she's nice " lol
She said it was so sad to watch so reported him to bus driver getting off.

I said fair play mia standing up to a 12 yr old boy, dunno would I have reported him though.

I don't care she said, might make him think in future before he bullies others.

Nice to know she cared and nice to know she hadn't fear!

Mia is old enough to understand that 'snitches get stitches' but she is also old enough to comprehend 'no women no children'. Solid moral code she has and conviction to boot. Clearly going to be a life winner.

I watched Snowden earlier. I wasn't impressed. I thought on a whole it was quite boring.
