  1. It kinda was “invested” into London centric projects. [emoji12] But yeah. That would be great had the UK the foresight to invest in long term passive trackers. 

    This is the stuff you can see above ground. Not forgetting all the money invested underground - Channel tunnel, Cross rail, Elizabeth line etc etc.

    It also paid for the unemployment benefit for all those workshy miners/steel workers/etc.
  2. I’ve been working with IT data storage and database migrations since the 80s.
    So I do know how to transfer data between “incompatible”systems. Which is the excuse our chairman used. 
    There was no data left to migrate.
    That’s my point.

    Personally, I think the club f**ked up by not ensuring that any data belonged to the club and then the old mob tried to hold the club "to ransom". How an IT company could manage to (ahem, accidentally) delete a database and, presumably, all backups is totally beyond me.


  3. [mention=6256]ALBIONSAINT[/mention] thank you for bringing this matter to my attention as I never knew about. 
    St Mirren and databases?
    Anyone remember the fcuking farce with the old ticketing database that the previous supplier “deleted” and then we had to resubmit all our details and then they fcuked up the ST seats and cards. Our chairman tried to say there was conflict between the databases but given it’s just 1’s and 0’s  that excuse won’t wash. Perhaps I’m not allowed to discuss that either by the B&W Army forum polis. 
     


    I doubt it was as simple as 'it's just 1s and 0s" but I get your point.

    Some useless info from that ...

    We are the only team in our pot not to have a red, white and blue flag.

    We are the only team to have qualified so far not to have red in their flag.

    If Iceland get drawn into pot B for the playoffs, there is the potential for all playoff winners to also have red in their flags, leaving us as the only team not to.

    As I said, useless info.

    Aye.  Look for offence...

    …and you’ll find it.

    Personally I thought the aggressive greenness of it was offensive to fans of the deid club in Glasgow.

    I felt the flamboyant flaunting of 8 articulated (though no doubt rendered inert for the show’s duration!) limbs mocked anyone with mobility problems.

    And it’s probably stuffed - so that alone would depress Turkeys before Xmas.

     

    Hey you, I find that offensive. :whistle

  6. Don't worry, I'm sure you, Faraway and Cookie Monster are safe as even AI and Robots would have a riddy cleaning out the toilets at Burger King! [emoji14]
    Hey, Faraway does KFC and Cookie does McDonald's - don't dare lump us BKers in with those lowlifes.

    Fair point. It would appear that no matter who is in charge of the country (left or right wing) capitalism will always be the model we use and such the workers only have their Labour to sell. Don’t know how this will all pan out when AI takes over all the trades and professional roles? 

    I don't think AI could take over my job as I don't think anyone would want to write a program that does nothing.

  8. I think you were the one professing when you made the post, I was merely noting that it wasn’t from The Royal British legion but from The Scotsman newspaper. As for the veracity of the piece? well that would be your opinion rather than undisputable fact. The piece appears to suggest that the democratic process in both the US and U.K. is failing to produce a magical land where poverty, distrust and power don’t exist. The section below is very strange as it appears to suggest that U.K. economic modelling is right wing? I wonder what Mr Blair and Mr Brown were thinking. 
     
    “Both at home and abroad, in other words, it is difficult to imagine a more effective recipe for national decline. And meanwhile, in the UK, it becomes ever more clear that 40 almost uninterrupted years of right-wing economics has likewise ushered in an age of decline. The real-terms pay of ordinary Britishworkers has been flatlining since 2009; while the cult of austerity in public spending has hollowed out our communities and cultural life, and impoverished and degraded our public services. And of course, the resentment produced by such hard times also led to the disastrous act of economic and human self-harm that was Brexit”
     
     

     
     
    Blair and Brown were right of where the centre used to be. New Labour's shift rightwards moved the centre line.
  9. Yeah a bit like the other hospital that the IDF bombed. Turned out it was a faulty Hamas rocket. So are you saying that a sovereign nation that has the eyes of the world on it are creating false propaganda? It would be a huge gamble given the support it receives from the USA and U.K. governments. Who to believe? Sovereign state or a terrorist organisation that broke a 9 year ceasefire by sneaking into a neighbouring country dressed as civilians and murdering innocent women and children in there homes, yup thats a difficult one to square.
    Personally, I wouldn't trust either side.


  10. Just in case you are wondering (as this never gets coverage on U.K. MSM) Israel continues to be defending itself on two fronts. Most of the MSM in U.K. will be focusing on the big hospital today with all the baby’s inside that need incubators and fuel. You know the one that Hamas cowardly built a control base under to protect THEMSELVES!

    According to doctors at the hospital, Hamas never had a control centre there.

    Well done [emoji122]

    If only the Israelis were 100% trustworthy...

    1. Moses didn't exist (even the Jews know that).

    2. Apparently, it was the Sea of Reeds they crossed not the Red Sea. The translators hadn't heard of the Sea of Reeds and, in their "wisdom", thought it must be the Red Sea, even though the 2 Hebrew words were totally different.

    3. No matter how strong a wind is, it couldn't part through Red Sea.
