Mr Zafaryab, 27, of Kingsbury, who owns a nursery and works in a medical supplies company, said he was willing to pay the £100 fine for parking on private land, without permit, behind a parade of shops in Copeland Mews.
Sounds quite reasonable. Hats off to this gent for sticking to what he feels right in his heart.

On Thursday evening, Mr Zafaryab's car was finally released after he paid £100. He said he planned to challenge the fine in court.
OH YOU LYING BAS.

In other news, in Straylia we have to vote for a new Prime Minister in the next day or two. Another one. I for one am sick of electing Prime Ministers, and I think this country has got jolly well enough of them as it is.

Didnt you just get a new lady PM?

[Zhukov]

Exactly.

[Zhukov]

So these miners in Chile right, I heard that they wont be able to rescue them for at least a couple of months. That's fucking nuts that is.

I don't care if they have food, water, magazines or ipods down there; you would go nuts and kill yourself after that long underground.

Are they in the dark? Those poor bastards. Funny how every mining accident in China ends with nobody ever surviving and getting trapped, yeah, what a coincidence.

[Blasted Child]

Yeah that Chilean mining story is quite intriguing.
I think they managed to get electricity from a vehicle engine (which sounds a bit dangerous, what with the exhaust fumes and all, but they probably know what they're doing) so apparently they have at least limited access to light.

I think this will be a very good chance to study human behaviour under extreme circumstances. Will they start chewing on each other? Will they hallucinate? Will they all turn gay?
To be continued.

[Zhukov]

I once got locked in a change room for a good ten minutes, and I was clawing at the walls I tell you what. A friend locked me in there, and when I got out I chased him with the intent to kill him.

The human mind changes under pressure. Often for worse. It will be interesting to see how these Chilean miners react to the situation that they are faced with.

The news tells me that nobody wants to break it to them that they may be trapped down there for a little while. So they're just dancing around the issue with standard South American government aplomb

We had a couple of loons stuck down a mine for about a month. It was hell boring to watch from the top, poor suckers. When one of them requested an Ipod with Foo fighters, good old Dav Grohl then named a song after them........

[Colonel Flagg]

So they've got to wait 4 months for a rescue? Pardon the indiscretion, but where will they put all their "shit"? :x

[Blasted Child]

I think they have plenty of tunnel space to shit in, but only one habitable room.

Apparently a couple of them have already gone depressed. Doesn't bode well.

Would be really scary if this developed into some sort of lord of the flies scenario, where they'd all start killing each other while the rest of world could only watch, but not really intervene.

[Colonel Flagg]

Man, though, after 4 months that room will be mighty fragrant.

That was in Tasmania. Not as long stuck down there, but they only had a tiny space to live/shit in.

Would be really scary if this developed into some sort of lord of the flies scenario, where they'd all start killing each other while the rest of world could only watch, but not really intervene.

Scary, sure, but that would also make a GREAT movie.

Craig Smallwood of Hawaii filed a federal lawsuit earlier this year against the makers of the online virtual-world game "Lineage II" for failing to warn him that he would become so addicted to playing it that he would be "unable to function independently in usual daily activities such as getting up, getting dressed, bathing or communicating with family and friends." (He claims to have spent 20,000 hours over five years playing.) In August, Judge Alan Kay declined to dismiss the lawsuit and set it for trial.

I hope they dismiss this judge and the attorney representing him.

The miners were trapped after an explosion on Saturday at the Pingyu Coal Electric Co mine in the city of Yuzhou, about 690km (423 miles) south of Beijing.

4-Year-Old Can Be Sued, Judge Rules in Bike Case
By ALAN FEUER (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/f/alan_feuer/index.html?inline=nyt-per)

Citing cases dating back as far as 1928, a judge has ruled that a young girl accused of running down an elderly woman while racing a bicycle with training wheels on a Manhattan sidewalk two years ago can be sued for negligence.
The ruling by the judge, Justice Paul Wooten of State Supreme Court in Manhattan, did not find that the girl was liable, but merely permitted a lawsuit brought against her, another boy and their parents to move forward.
The suit that Justice Wooten allowed to proceed claims that in April 2009, Juliet Breitman and Jacob Kohn, who were both 4, were racing their bicycles, under the supervision of their mothers, Dana Breitman and Rachel Kohn, on the sidewalk of a building on East 52nd Street. At some point in the race, they struck an 87-year-old woman named Claire Menagh, who was walking in front of the building and, according to the complaint, was “seriously and severely injured,” suffering a hip fracture that required surgery. She died three months later of unrelated causes.
Her estate sued the children and their mothers, claiming they had acted negligently during the accident. In a response, Juliet’s lawyer, James P. Tyrie, argued that the girl was not “engaged in an adult activity” at the time of the accident — “She was riding her bicycle with training wheels under the supervision of her mother” — and was too young to be held liable for negligence.
In legal papers, Mr. Tyrie added, “Courts have held that an infant under the age of 4 is conclusively presumed to be incapable of negligence.” (Rachel and Jacob Kohn did not seek to dismiss the case against them.)
But Justice Wooten declined to stretch that rule to children over 4. On Oct. 1, he rejected a motion to dismiss the case because of Juliet’s age, noting that she was three months shy of turning 5 when Ms. Menagh was struck, and thus old enough to be sued.
Mr. Tyrie “correctly notes that infants under the age of 4 are conclusively presumed incapable of negligence,” Justice Wooten wrote in his decision, referring to the 1928 case. “Juliet Breitman, however, was over the age of 4 at the time of the subject incident. For infants above the age of 4, there is no bright-line rule.”
The New York Law Journal reported the decision on Thursday.
Mr. Tyrie had also argued that Juliet should not be held liable because her mother was present; Justice Wooten disagreed.
“A parent’s presence alone does not give a reasonable child carte blanche to engage in risky behavior such as running across a street,” the judge wrote. He added that any “reasonably prudent child,” who presumably has been told to look both ways before crossing a street, should know that dashing out without looking is dangerous, with or without a parent there. The crucial factor is whether the parent encourages the risky behavior; if so, the child should not be held accountable.
In Ms. Menagh’s case, however, there was nothing to indicate that Juliet’s mother “had any active role in the alleged incident, only that the mother was ‘supervising,’ a term that is too vague to hold meaning here,” he wrote. He concluded that there was no evidence of Juliet’s “lack of intelligence or maturity” or anything to “indicate that another child of similar age and capacity under the circumstances could not have reasonably appreciated the danger of riding a bicycle into an elderly woman.”
Mr. Tyrie, Dana Breitman and Rachel Kohn did not respond to messages seeking comment.
This article has been revised to reflect the following correction:
Correction: October 30, 2010

An article in some editions on Friday about a lawsuit that claims an elderly woman was severely injured by two 4-year-olds racing their bicycles on a Manhattan sidewalk misstated the timing of the woman’s death. The woman, Claire Menagh, died of unrelated causes three months after she was struck, not three weeks.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

That's ridiculous. Its not like it was a roman chariot with spikes she was riding.

[Guitar Woman]

So, did she not see or hear the pair of bicycles careening down the sidewalk towards her?

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I feel like the old woman should be liable for living to such an age that she endangers the future of children. Which of course is our greatest resource. Greater than oil.

Ugh, have you guys ever watched Redeye on fox news? Its on at like 2 or 3am and its the most ridiculous show. I understand the fact that its supposed to try and be funny but it just comes off as jerks being jerks. As opposed to a comedian being funny as a fake politician.

These people are news reporters trying to be comedians but they're just ridiculous horrible. The one saving grace is that they have Oderus Urungus as an outer space consultant sometimes.

YOU ARE BOTH RIGHT.

[Fathom Zero]

So North Korea just attacked South Korea again. I think this one's probably not going to go over well.

[Zhukov]

Nah, nothing will happen, nothing military or genuinely serious I mean. Nobody wants a war with the North except possibly the North.

The worst that will happen is some kind of sanction that they will try to make worse than what they already have in place.

They sunk a ship and killed 46 in March; nobody wants to commit to actual conflict, so DPRK is seeing what it can do. Probably just for kicks, but also because it needs to show off to it's own people that it's the one in control. The US/UN etc don't care if it looks like DPRK is in control, just as long as they keep going ahead with the special economic zones being set up in some areas that allow foreign companies to 'employ' North Korean slaves - for even cheaper than their Chinese counterparts.

[Fathom Zero]

I'd like to believe human lives are worth something, but yeah. Fucking CIA needs to get some assassins up there.

[Zhukov]

The CIA would be the last people to kill Kim Jong Il, which is what I assume you are saying. North Korea is going down the same path that China went down, only more drawn out, in that eventually you will be wearing sneakers with MADE IN DPRK on them. Why would they want to assassinate the guy responsible for that?

There is the possibility that there will be conflict with South Korea, but it's a small risk to take. The nations of the world don't want Kim Jong Il out of power, they just want him to stop building nuclear bombs and stop trying to aggravate things.

Kill Kim Jong Il = his son takes over, economic freedom for foreign countries is halted, Songun (focus on military) policy is increased, more shelling of the South and sinking their shit.

Kill Kim Jong Il = his son takes over, economic freedom for foreign countries is halted, Songun (focus on military) policy is increased, more shelling of the South and sinking their shit.

Yeah. I was telling my flatmates this smacks of China. If shit starts to go down, the US has other priorities, and that's not even mentioning the fact that there are already two other bullshit wars this country's involved in. There are plenty of terrible people we rely on that we wouldn't want to piss off.

And I was totally suggesting CIA assassins. It worked in Cuba, right?

[Dimnos]

Flatmates? WTF? Did you move to the isles or some shit?

[Fathom Zero]

What would you call people that live in your appartment? Appartmentmates?

[Evil Robot]

Thats too long of a word, we don't have time for that kind of shit.

[Dimnos]

Roommates because I have never lived in a flat.

There is a broken chair at work, so someone has written "Brocken" on it. Obviously I laughed at their stupidity, and the person that wrote it got angry and argued with me that that's just how they spell it in America, and his mother is from America so she should know.

That's the Mid-Western spelling, Arkansas dialect.

You also have no idea what you are talking about.

[executioneer]

it does seem kind of like a dumb idea, though

how about instead of banning new unhealthy fastfood places, make it EASIER for people to get healthy food, you fucks

I don't know why I bother getting irritated anymore. :(

People can always walk 2 more blocks at the most for at least another 4 major fast food places. What they are trying to do is stop the onslaught of minimum wage jobs created by corporations with a shit ton of money who can out bid anyone for land.

[executioneer]

yeah boo to minimum wage jobs, boooooo

they should only let six figure jobs in

[Tadao]

Yeah, I see your point. Having more fast food restaurants per block can only turn out to be a good thing. What was I thinking. Why should kids have a job that won't try to force them to quit after one year. Oh ans fuck all those people who are over 20 and need a job, they should have saved up all their pennies.

[executioneer]

they should have tried suicide first

[Fathom Zero]

or left

[Tadao]

Both of those options are very popular here. Some other great choices are gangs and the selling of drugs.

Zhukov, whats the controversy around Mikhail Khodorkovsky's conviction? From what I can tell people are against simply because the Russian government is for it? Nothing I have read will tell me why people are upset about it. Does the prosecution just have no evidence or something?

I merely hoping you know more about this than I. :\

[Zhukov]

I've got no idea. The name rang a bell and I had to google to remind me, but I really don't know much about him at all. Is he up for something new? It's him vs the Russian government - there can't be anything honest on either side.

I did know that he is a great supporter of the new Russian communist party, but they are all racists and theists, so I wont bother arguing in his defence.

[Dimnos]

All I know is he is supposed to be one of the richest men in Russia big in petroleum. They accused him of embezzlement, took him to trial, found him guilty and now people are pissed at the Russian government.

[Tadao]

Sounds like the Russian people are becoming american conservative republicans. GO BIG MONEY!

Russia too drunk, too fly.

http://www.wgrz.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=103411&catid=37


"CHEEKTOWAGA(Da Buffalo airport), NY - Team Russia is now spending more time in Buffalo after being kicked off their flight early Thursday morning for being drunk. The team is now sobering up at the Days Hotel while they make new flight arrangements.
According to police, the players were thrown off of a Delta (http://www.wgrz.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=103411&catid=37#) flight scheduled to leave Buffalo-Niagara International Airport because members of the team were intoxicated. At that point the team and their equipment were removed from the aircraft.
The team was shuttled to the Days Hotel on Genesee Street to sober up area after their flight took off. The team general manager remains at the airport trying to figure out a new flight out of Buffalo for the players.
2 On Your Side was alerted to the story when the wife of a witness on the plane said the players appeared to be intoxicated.
Russian team officials had no comment."

AMERICANS ARE SUCH FUCKING PUSSIES SOMETIMES. JOHN WAYNE MUST BE GLAD TO BE DEAD.

Silly Russians. Dont they know your get drunk ON the plane. :rolleyes

[Fathom Zero]

So birds are dying everywhere, officially. There's a bunch in Italy, now, and there's probably plenty of other cases in places where there've been unreported incidents. At least, I'd be willing to bet there are. So, without taking any effort to plot out a map or taking any effort to research and back up my points, I'd say it could be one of many reasons. Or a combination. There could be some mad scientist that decided to release a disease/toxin/whathaveyou into the air, letting the winds carry it along the jet stream and possibly even having it settle in the massive bodies of water where all these fish are dying off.

Of course, it could also be some superbug that's causing mass die-offs. Birds and fish are the weakest of the vertebrates, and I suspect that the CDC and EPA and a bunch of other three-letter organizations are dissecting and autopsying the fuck out of every one of these corpses, looking for all sorts of crazy known organisms, as well as contaminants and whatever - even though they've yet to announce anything. Or perhaps they have in the past hour or two and I don't know it yet. In any event, the absence of evidence is evidence in and off itself, no? That just opens up the possibility of it being something unknown.

So yeah, I pretty much just watched the Screwfly Solution.

Also, 15,000 lbs of beef fat escaped from a holding container and took a swim in the Houston Ship Channel. It looks totally gross.

[Tadao]

AND 24 HOURS AGO YOU ALL POO POOED ME.

But I'm still dumb as shit for forgetting my zoology and buying into hysteria. :\

[Tadao]

Yeah, this is still nothing to worry about. The best thing to do would be to ignore it.

[executioneer]

rah rah paranoia rah rah rah

[Zhukov]

I would say that pollution killing off masses of animals on a regular basis is something to worry about.

[Tadao]

No way dude, that's panic talk. Just go with it.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

rah rah paranoia rah rah rah

I have poker face stuck in my head now. >:

[executioneer]

it's not just pollution, overpopulation, disease and unusually cold weather mass-kilsl birds off all the damn time

[Fathom Zero]

Like I said, they're the weakest of the vertebrates. Adverse conditions are likely to affect them more. It could be that the global climate is colder than usual this time of year.

OGMF TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND GEESE AND OTHER WATERFOWL DIED BACK IN 1995, DID ANYONE GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THAT

NO, BECAUSE THERE WASNT SOME BULLSHIT MAYAN CALENDAR FAKE APOCALYPSE PREDICTED IN 1996

[kahljorn]

thats not necessarily true some christians thought the millenium might be the end of the world :O

[Dimnos]

Some christians wackos think the world is going to end every day. They are talking about it more this time around because the crazies can get together and come up with crazier idea over the twitter and the facyspacy and what nots.

[executioneer]

yeah but it wasnt 1999 it was 1995

people wouldn't have given a shit about this in 2006, either

[kahljorn]

prolly cause people were too busy still focusing on how 9/11 was a sign of the end-times :lol

[Tadao]

I would have cared. :(

[executioneer]

i care SOME but you know, shit happens :( what're you gonna do, tell the rednecks not to shoot off cannons on new years and july 4th, or make sure birds dont eat from botulism-infected food or drink from avian cholera-infected water

man that guy has got some mental problems

[Supafly345]

This is one of the representatives who was on Sarah Palin's hit list those years ago for being against America or some shit, if you remember the image of the cross-hairs focusing in on where they live. Everyone on that list has been getting vandalized and harassed ever since, and this seemed to be inevitable. The violent rhetoric in this country is scaring people without good cause other than to push their own political views, and it is making the crazy people out there dangerous.

I miss the good old days when militia groups and white terrorists were thought as silly.

[kahljorn]

so this dude got harassed or something?

Iw as wondering cause in his picture he looked sorta normal ;/

Pretty serious flooding in Queensland (http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/01/12/australia.floods1/index.html?hpt=C2). Apparently it's the worst in recorded history, according to the premier.

The Brisbane River, which cuts through the city center, was expected to rise beyond the record set in 1974 when it broke its banks, flooding more than 6,000 homes and killing 14 people.

This time, models predict that 19,700 homes will be "completely flooded" in Brisbane, which is home to more than 1 million people, and another 4,000 homes are likely to be affected in Ipswich, said Queensland Premier Anna Bligh.

"We are preparing for the worst natural disaster in our history," she said.

:(

[Zhukov]

Just before the floods it was locusts, and just before the locusts it was drought. These Queenslanders do nothing but complain.

[Colonel Flagg]

Next will be boils. :eek

So I came across this ground breaking news today.

Antibiotics speed up recovery from ear infections (http://pagingdrgupta.blogs.cnn.com/2011/01/13/antibiotics-speed-up-recovery-from-ear-infections-in-young-children-studies-show/?hpt=T2)

Curing new things every day these scientists are. :fart

[MLE]

You know, that article is actually about not taking antibiotics. Which is bullshit. If I was prescribed the proper medication when I was 2-4 years old, I wouldn't still be getting chronic ear infections.

[isubmitnow]

I am waiitng for......News headlines.

Don't worry, there will be one tomorrow morning.
