Oh my GOD!

I just heard an ex-girlfriend of mine on the radio from about 45 years ago!

She was really nice back then, but she has turned into a frenzied eco-loon and has joined Extinction Rebellion. She has been up in court and will be again. I looked her up on line and I am really surprised.

How did she turn into this horrible green party harpie? She used to be clever and beautiful 46 years ago. I am so disappointed.

I shouldn't really be surprised. She dumped me. That was an obvious massive failure of judgement. No wonder she went to the dark side and started protesting about capitalism and getting into trouble.

Phew. I had a narrow escape.

She probably always was the former under the beauty, our younger sex drive can be a powerful distorter of reality.

Yes - there is that.

How things change. I'd have walked right past her in the street without recognising her. She became a criminal damage grannie! Who would have seen that coming?

Watch this

GB news says it all.
Even if the case was a single instance GB news would still put out a documentary like that. Their entire reason for being is as an anti-Muslim far right propaganda channel. You simply cannot believe a word they say.
Do do know the GB bit stands for Gaslighting Britons

GB news only runs a couple of themes. Attack Labour, and attack immigration. Mainly due to who owns that channel. It is jointly owned by hedge fund manager Sir Paul Marshall, and investment firm Legatum

One might think they would today wish the young to have the maximum protection, yet the Vatican has the lowest age of consent for sex in the EU, at 12 years old.

Errrmmm, just googled that and it states " The majority of countries set their ages in the range of 14 to 16; only four countries, Cyprus (17), Ireland (17), Turkey (18), and the Vatican City (18), set an age of consent higher than 16. "

She dumped me.

How Italians Transgress: A Survey on Rough Sexual Behaviors in a Sample of Italians

Surveys of the Italian population typically assess general sexual behaviors (e.g., oral, vaginal and anal intercourse). However, little is known about other sexual behavior such as rough sexual behaviors, choking and slapping. Thus, an online cross-sectional survey of 4618 Italian participants...

Of course no attempt to engage with the argument, or any kind of reality.

An entirely pointless thing to engage with you

Thanks. I didn't know they'd finally given into the EU pressure that had been upon them for years. Apparently after all the abuse publicity they changed it from 12 to 18 in 2013, from the youngest to the oldest in the EU.

I have no interest in the ravings of some loon on YouTube. Please provide a reference to a peer reviewed article confirming this fraud.

I've reviewed that Youtube video, and I'm one of his peers. Does that help?

My day just got worse and worse.

After discovering that my long lost girlfriend from 46 years ago has turned into a horrible eco-loon grandma, my laptop fell out of my bag onto the car park as I was unloading three bags and smashed the screen. A drop of about a meter onto a corner of the case didn't do it any good

Oh - no problem, says I - I have a good screen on the previous one with a non functioning keyboard after it got wet. I knew keeping the corpse of the old one would come in handy.

So after eating some food, I set about cannibalising the good screen out of the old laptop; removing the smashed screen from the newer one; fitting it, and then putting the whole thing back together.

All was going well.

It fired up, the screen looked pretty good, and I tested the keyboard before fastening the cases together. It worked as did the cannibalised screen, but once I put all the screws in, securing the case, pressing number '1' on the keyboard, caused a cascade of random numbers to appear.

I had it apart and together twice more before I realised that the slightly bent aluminium case is causing some error when I screw the damaged part snugly to the base.

I had thought that the ribbon cable for the keyboard had been dislodged on assembly, but it hasn't. I got it to work by leaving out one of the case screws so that there is a tiny gap at the right hand side of the keyboard base and the lower case part. If I put that screw in and pull the case neatly together the random number gremlin re-appears.

It is working now and I am using it, but I will probably have it apart again and investigate what the issue is. Even if I get it sorted, I am going to need a new one, because I can't be bothered to be fiddling about with this one now.
