Never thought I'd agree with a Clergyman...

The irony...

It almost hurts.

The Roman Catholic  Church:

A moribund repressive organisation determined to impose their own obnoxious views detached from modern society, ethical probity, and common decency.

Except when they do something I agree with:

In a rare change from usual, some good news....

Publicly funded research is to be available to the public for free 

And a big  to the publishers who have for years profited off of restricted access to such work.

Bond having chopper issues again:    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-18020646

Hope all 14 get back safe!

[SA Chris]

Apparently they are all OK. still 3 down in 3 years isn't exactly a good track record for Bond.

[slackline]

Three in three years, but how many in the preceding?

Are they all the same model/age, when did each have their last service?

Things happen in threes its a well known statistic

[Fultonius]

Sure isn't!

Apparently it was due to go to Andy's Monica's platform next...

Glad we barely use them!

Looks like Richard Littlejohn's next opinion piece could be fucked:

Derby House Fire:

Their father, who was downstairs in the house in Victory Road, Allenton, made "valiant attempts" to save them.

A sixth child, aged 13, is in hospital receiving specialist treatment. The father, believed to have 17 children, was named locally as Mick Philpott.

(Which of course in no way diminishes from this tragedy.)

Did we do Nadine Dorries?


Excellent comment on Darlo's board:

http://darlofc.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=19153&p=238315&hilit=dorries#p238315

Nadine Dorries is a religious nutter, who is trying to shape policy to suit her own intolerant brand of christianity. Her opinion is worthless.
Except when she says something I agree with.

Like "Damp Squid", for example

I despair... we already some of the highest diabetes & obesity rates in the country...

Interestingly (bringing vaguely into UKB territory too...)

Benjamin Esterson, 33, had driven all the way up from north London and queued since 2am to make sure he was the first one through the door at 10am. The rock-climbing instructor was given a gold card for his efforts. The card entitles him to a double dozen doughnuts a month for a year.

Benjamin, who tries to attend the opening of as many Krispy Kreme outlets as he can, said: "It is an unbelievably good product and it is so different in texture and flavour to the other doughnuts in the UK."

what a gimp

only a hull rag would celebrate the opening of a fucking donut shop

[slackline]

Its ok, says he traveled from London.

Death by sex

[Obi-Wan is lost...]

what a gimp

Is it news because it's the first new shop to open in the area in the last 3 years?

No.

[erm, sam]

They are fucking brilliant donuts though. I'd be made up if I lived in Hull and one was opening there. Well not made up, pleased.

[Jaspersharpe]

Is it too soon to blame the Krispy Kreme shop for this incident in Hull?

So much wrong with that story I don't know where to start but the Man U shirt and jacket are a lovely touch!

[Johnny Brown]

This is a serious case, although I would say it is at the lower end of the scale

I think he's trying to say, "It's not funny, but it does make us laugh".

[Jaspersharpe]

Bingham, 38, of Bransholme, drunk four litres of cider before calling the force.

No shit.

He said he spoke to the woman, named as Laurie Hunt, every day over the online call system Skype.

Presumably "Laurie Hunt" whose webcam didn't work is actually an 18st trucker and this....

Bingham told police he received a text message at 7pm on May 2 which read: "Leave Laurie alone, I am friend from the UK and she is not interested."

... was from Darren Simonds (unemployed, Man United fan) in Preston who will also soon be appearing in court after he falls for the same trick.

Hardly seems fair. She is a fat cow after all.
