James Woods demands $10m from Twitter troll for 'coke addict' claim
Friday 31st July 2015 22:47 GMT
I never realised James Woods was a real person - I always assumed he was a scapegoat character dreamed up by the scriptwriters of "The Simpsons"
It now appears he is doing his best to emulate the character, Which begs the question: Why did he never sue the producers of "The Simpsons" for denigrating him?

" has me wondering whether anyone's had some particularly amusing/unfortunate incidents when ordering food on the other side of the pond fromwhere they usuallylive."
I was once amused watching a set of german bikers in an English pub, attempting to order three pints of bitter "three bittas please", waiting ages at the table and finally getting three pizzas "three pitzas please......"
The look on the bikers faces was priceless. They got the pizzas for free when the confusion was resolved
Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo crackup verdict: Pilot error

Human error, but he should never have been put in the situation where human error was possible. The companies safety culture should have been such that it recognised the risk and either trained against it, or mechanically prevented it. Likewise the FAA should have been more insistent in its controls - ensuring a sufficient safety culture existed in the company.
An earlier accident in 2007 when three people died in a nitrous oxide explosion should have rung the authorities alarm bells. A critique of what happened is at

A thoroughly disturbing report. If what is indicated is correct, Scaled Composites should have had the plug pulled on them then on safety grounds.

Sewell wasn't getting much experience at the rates he was paying. £200/night per girl? No chance, prices start around £1200/night and go up from there depending on age, nationality, prettiness, use of condoms/ size of fit/ whether she washes.
Only girls who might go for £200 would be STD-ridden Hungarian gypsies, who seem to go for the bottom end of the market - with the risk that entails. For £200/girl he's putting his life in danger.
PS - I'm not having a go at Hungarians here - simply stating a fact that in the current UK market Hungarian gypsy girls are advertised online at the budget end of the prostitution racket. Presumably their pimps force them into a high turnover / low margin economy. And they're nearly all drugged up

Re: https://projects.propublica.org/bailout/
"Could we do the planning for some road / rail schemes, maybe a few new school / hospital buildings. All that nice infrastructure that needs renewing / replacing or new build. But save it until there's a recession. Then commission a bunch of jobs that have been kept on hold for a few years. "
FFS, are you blind? Its already happening. Have you not noticed the upgrades to "managed motorway" status on the M1, M6, M60, M62 and elsewhere that have been going on for the last few years? The various other road projects which got the go-ahead mid-depression? The various rail upgrades such as the Great Western electrification (OK I accept Network Rail have buggered that up)
But the fact is the Tories have done just what you ask, but quietly, through the back door

what it boils down to is........"What have the Germans ever done for us?"
Fuck 'em.
Lets exit the EU and accept the fact the krauts are still fighting WWII They couldn't win militarily but they are still fighting economically. They won't be happy till the rest of Europe is bankrupt and they hold the purse strings
After WWII we should have ripped the industry out of Germany and returned it to the stone age

Re: proper lab protocol...
dissolved copper salts? where do you get that idea from?
have you ever seen a traditional whisky or or brandy still? They're made from copper. And how volatile do you think copper acetates are? Besides which copper salts are a lot less toxic than methanol, and a lot more obvious from colour and taste.
The problem is methanol - pure and simple.
