The Kraken

Was it that late? Crikey. Genuinely thought it was much quicker than that.

Yes, interesting to know what he is talking about. Especially being as Trump was president when Covid first hit. Covid hit us from early 2020, we locked down in late March then again in what was it, September and Christmas time? Biden didn’t take office until Jan 21, so vaccines were well underway by then in the UK and over there. There was huge amounts of pressure put in people to get jabbed, no doubt. Not sure why Zuckerberg is calling out Biden so much when he took over while the vaccine rollout was actually getting towards its end for the majority. I’m sure he’s not telling lies. Just a bit of a strange one. I don’t doubt for a second that governments try to downplay conspiracy theories about Covid, just odd that he’s getting political about it.

It’s not a moan, it’s just a fact. Liverpool completely transformed their city centre off of the back of the money for European capital of culture back in 08. A complete shithole became something genuinely brilliant. Like you say, I don’t think the level of funding by the uk is going to elevate Bradford to anywhere approaching mundane.

No need to talk about yourself in the third person.

You’re a sick, sick man.

Really? Apart from living close by, I find the whole experience of Southampton especially and Bournemouth to be so much more preferable than a larger airport like Heathrow or Gatwick. As soon as I land at Southampton I know I’ll have my bags pronto and be home within minutes. Bournemouth is a bit of a pain to get to in that you can only really drive there (and their parking prices have gone up a lot in recent years, it used to be really cheap). Southampton just ticks every box for me, and with easyJet now opening up new routes with the longer runway there will hopefully be much more options.

I’d imagine he’s being primed as a leading candidate to take over. Starmer isn’t exactly young.

Andy Burnham setting his point out very well.

Given the PMs just in the last few years I hope this is a joke, though I suspect it isn’t.

And I don’t click on any post by forum anti-Semites.

Yeah I read it back and realised I could’ve been clearer, it could go either way I suppose.

4 years of this 🤣 the geezer is absolutely hatstand

This is a such simplistic way of phrasing things, but it’s no surprise that you got the one love heart you did. The man is a complete berk and whatever else, the overwhelming opinion on here seems to agree with that. The only Musk “fans” on here are in your head, pretty much everyone else thinks he’s a cunt, but wave that flag if it makes you feel better I suppose 👍

Thats exactly why he wants it. It’s a personal vanity project in getting his name front and centre. Clearly working too, we’ve got our bloody prime minister making press conferences where he rebuffs Musk’s nonsensical outbursts.

Yeah done it a couple of times. As whelk says its further than you think. It's also well outside of Bristol and trying to do it by public transport isn't great. Plenty of parking on site though. In terms of the airport itself it's relatively decent, size-wise a bit bigger than our local airports but still not huge. I used to have a massive aversion to Gatwick as it's so massive and you could usually be guaranteed of a big queue somewhere (plus baggage reclaim used to take forever and a day). But having flown out of Gatwick a number of times in the past few years its actually become very slick, the whole check in and security areas are impressive and IME everything kept moving very well, I flew domestic just before Xmas and bags were extremely rapid. So I'm less inclined to give it a swerve these days (although for the bulk of leisure travel I always try to fly from Southampton or Bournemouth).

5 metres deep if I recall correctly. Used to swim down and do moonies against the glass. I made it as high as the 5 metre board a few times but absolutely fuck the 10m board, me and heights don’t go well together.

YaYa, YaYa YaYa, YaYa YaYa, YaYa YaYa Toure! Kolo, Kolo Kolo, Kolo Kolo, Kolo Kolo Toure! Boring boring tables! Banter.

FBI press conference updates: IEDs were found in the car as well as at least two other IEDs found planted separately in the French Quarter. None detonated and have now been rendered safe They don't believe the attacker acted alone and are aggressively tracking down potential associateS

Turning? The geezer has been an absolute wrongun for years.

Rather predictably the guy sounds like a total crackpot. Got dressed up in full army combat gear, set fire to the house he was renting before he left (which had explosives inside), drove through the crowd until he crashed, then just opened fire until he was gunned down. America. Fuck yeah.

Picture of the truck released. Looks like he was flying a flag from the back of the truck.

Local mayor says it’s a potential terrorist attack. And FBI confirmed there was an IED inside the truck. https://www.npr.org/2025/01/01/nx-s1-5244945/new-orleans-mass-casualties https://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-orleans-vehicle-crash-bourbon-street-crowd-casualties-shooting/

🤣 Indeed I am, But it’s better than the opposite I guess. And I’m laughing at you, not with you, just in case it needed pointed out (it did, that was rhetorical).
