Is that the split?

Galted wrote:And apologies for redirecting the thread to Jeff and Tw*tter again but he once referred to Peter Sutcliffe as a 'rascal'.

It's content like that makes the gigantic sh*tshow of irrelevent opinions and theories worth trawling.

Sutcliffe was the first name that sprang to mind when Jeff told us his he shared a surname with a mass murderer.

Oops, yep, I have seen worse splits to be fair.

Wasn't a criticism, the days when I knew such things are long gone.

The only disappointment is that GB couldn't take advantage of it after being set up so nicely for a cameo.

I'm starting to think he might be Peter Sutcliffe. His p*ssing in the pool story exhibits just the sort of behaviour I'd expect of a truck-driving, prostitute-murdering serial killer.

Galted wrote:Is that the split?

Yes.

Just read the orca article. More interesting than the headlines about it. Way more interesting than any arthropod article I've ever read.

I've read a few stories about boats being attacked by great whites in the Med but this is far more chilling, the way the cheeky buggers join forces.  I don't know if you've seen footage of orcas working in unison to wash seals off ice floes but it makes me think that mass extinction of sea life might not be a bad thing.

Scientific consensus is that the orcas are not attacking the boats as much as playing with them.

Scientific consensus is that arthropods are way more interesting than what are basically Great White sharks who were not quite hard enough to join the club.

I lost interest before long, these BBC features get on my nerves the way the pages fade into each other like a Powerpoint presentation.

Read all these things before, Jules. They mean nothing. If I were to drop you (naked or in Speedos) in a pool with a Great White or an Orca and you had to tread water for 30 minutes, you're going to choose the Orca every time.

Orca's hunt Great White sharks, occasionally for bantz.

Great Whites are flat track bullies.

What would you choose out of being locked in a room with a black mamba or a Komodo dragon?

Death would come quicker with the Mamba so that everytime.

Galted wrote:What would you choose out of being locked in a room with a black mamba or a Komodo dragon?

Just to clarify, do you mean the famous Black Mamba dildo or the snake?

Might make a difference to my decision.

I'd assumed it was the dildo.

superflyweight wrote:I'd assumed it was the dildo.  

l*l out loud.

I'm referring to the snake. If I meant the dildo I'd have offered a rampant rabbit as an alternative.

Sorry, couldn't find my shin pads. Coming on now late in injury time.

I can't be Sutcliffe, never driven a truck. Always marvelled at this story about him though. The police investigation was seriously side tracked for several years as the police concentrated their efforts upon finding someone known as Wearside Jack who had sent letters and a tape recording confessing to the crimes. Although Wearside Jack had no involvement and was merely an attention seeking hoaxer by the real name of John Humble, the police were convinced of his guilt as he had evidence of some of the murders which apparently would only have been known to the killer. It was only years later following Sutcliffe's arrest that it was realised Humble had got the details from a regional tv programme featuring a police interview that those heading the investigation knew nothing about.

That must have been quite humbling.

His alibi must have worn thin pretty quickly I'm guessing. Police generally have no Tyne for hoaxers and suchlike.

It was all pretty local to here, before my time, but all the locals generally complain that at the time, there were roadblocks all around town, and everyone was stopped and searched constantly.

We also had the crossbow cannibal, who pleaded not guilty but stated his name as the crossbow cannibal .

Was the charge possession of a firearm?

Yorkshiremen do seem to be really good at noncing and murdering prostitutes, but you never saw any of that in Last of the Summer Wine.

Happy Valley fist. There was a bit in that series. I particularly enjoyed those bleak Northern landscapes and the constant drizzle.

Bloody warm to hot here today... I struggled a little in the afternoon. Swimming saved me.

Sicond. I'm not Ray Clemence or Des O'Conner.

Morning. Nice to see Bernhard Langer shooting a better score than Dechambeau at the Masters.

The golf board's a bit tedious when there's an actual golf tournament on.

It's not happening. No way am I allowing Galted to michaels another day. Not least with a f*cking golf post. Sh*t game played by men dressed like c*nts.

I've got your back, Galted.

I'm starting to worry that Rick might be Ray or Des. I can't be certain, but I don't remember either of them being in any of my lectures at University though.

I was just glad you posted today. I had convinced myself you pair were Des and Ray. Or Des'ray as I like to call it.

Money don't make my world go round. I'm reaching out to a higher ground.

Personally I had them down as the Raydes of the Lost Ark.

Wonderful stuff.

Can't be expected to compete with that.

Thank you so much, Tino. If Shah ever happens to radicalise me I will behead people in your name.

Guess I'll have to fist myself unmichaelsed then.

Sicond. Bubble well popped, Galts.

Any news of note since yesterday?

Morning/afternoon/g'day, PJ.

Not much happening, the BBC are still on about rogue orcas.

How are things with you? Have the MCG and opera house been given more aboriginal-sounding names so as not to offend students yet?

I've noticed they've given some places dual names now to satisfy the sensitive revisionist types.

The Opera House is on Bennelong Point... named after some local chap who was kidnapped by the Governor... and decided to hang out there. Nice views. Place must be worth a fortune now. Should actually be Baneelon according to some. Lots of inconsistencies in the spelling of these names and places.

Bennelong Point is open to an infinity of puns for opera haters.

It's been a long time since I've been there.

Parking is difficult*. There are d!ckhead parking inspectors everywhere...

* actually there is a fantastic spiral car park just near the point... I've used it a few times.

Once watched something called "Sticky Theatre" from the steps of the Opera House. I had been drinking in the Botanic Gardens all day so was slightly worse for wear by the time this thing started in the evening, but I seem to recall a lot of fluorescent sellotape puppets mincing about to the kind of music that usually accompanies interpretive dance.

Was disappointing because the name had suggested it was going to be some kind of live sex show.

I went to a number of operas in the late 90s with a French bird I was trying to impress.  Probably about ten hours in total without even coming close to getting my leg over.  The last one (possibly the Marriage of Figaro) included another 'friend' from work she'd invited who did get his leg over.

During the Vivid festival each year there is an acid jazz feel to the place with schizo lights and plenty of interpretive video projections on buildings. Think they even had a caricature portrait of our mate Bennelong plastered on Customs House, Galted. Music pumping out from all corners.... imagine what he'd think of all that.

I pity anyone who has been out in the sun all day drinking and then pops a happy pill just as the sun is setting. Did something similar to that one year and I certainly don't remember how I got home. Those were the days...

You should have just taken her to watch Se7en. Still results in a lack of sex but the time commitment is dramatically less.

If only I'd known you then, Tino, life would have been so much easier.
