Still impressed :cool:
He didn't let on what he was using them for...
Facebook being used to spread disinformation
Businesses quote the magna carta to defy lockdown
Social media has been appalling.. Moderate a couple of sports forums. Some idiot posted an anti vaxer video which spouted utter rubbish with totally wrong facts about Covid, Measles, Autism etc etc so I deleted it... Owners of site got in touch saying it must stay. (even though same video banned on YouTube!!!)
Google "World Doctors Alliance" for perfect example of mis information.

Here in Italy people started to share this figure claiming that this is the diagram of the 5G chip that has been inserted in the covid vaccine. In reality it is the electric circuit of a guitar pedal and I believe that putting it in the covid vaccine has been an excellent idea


Gotta laugh, Soundwave, have you seen this? :oops:

Maybe the time for schools to reopen is when the HoC reopens. You can’t order teachers over the top to face the dangers of a densely populate, poorly ventilated building via Zoom because you are too frightened to go into your own place of work, a densely populated, poorly ventilated building.

When will MPs & Ministers show proper leadership? They put themselves up for the leadership jobs, no one forced them into it, so they should either lead or stand down. It’s pathetic.

I’m watching BBC Click (Hate this programme). They have just shown a Fire Train. Yes that’s right, a fire engine on rails. Apparently, the Swiss are the only country to have such a facility. Could this be because it’s the most idiotic idea ever conceived by mankind and no other country is stupid enough to build / buy one?

Might have been useful when there was that fire in the Channel tunnel?

Just did a search to find out more, but found myself on a site which sounds like a joke title on HIGNFY. Wildfire Today!

Seems someone is telling porkies - the USA has at least one and looks like they have or had several over the years. Or was it the only country in Europe? The site is not interesting enough to do more than look at a few pics and read a few words.

Seriously, it was on Click’s review of the year on BBC News channel at around 07:50 this morning. I saw it a couple of days ago too.

A little fella with no arms or legs presented the article. (This is also true, I’m not making it up).

I do completely believe you!

As do I that you don't like Click. I found it and your description is spot on.

I was watching something about trains a while back and I am fairly certain the USA, Canada and Alaska have fire fighting trains. Just had a quick look on Youtube and Russia has them too, my guess would be a lot of countries have them.

Did you see the article either just before or just after the Fire Train? It was an electric organ which plays hundreds of 1990s era Nintendo Game-Boys, with a built in flame thrower! I kid you not.

What’s next? A time saving device which shows your eggs a trumpet, to save you having to take them out of the fridge to do it. The BBC has totally lost the plot.

I managed to use the slider thingy to get to the train - quite quickly - so missed everything else.

Click is incredibly annoying. If it is something interesting it deserves more than the few seconds it gets. If it isn't, why does anyone bother?
