@Davis – Irish, Scottish and Welsh people get much harder to understand with alcohol 🙂.

I once shared a house in London with 2 guys from Sterling and a girl from Wales. The first day nobody really understood anyone else. That evening we went to the pub. Problem solved. 🙂

I was working in Paris and it transpired that I had arrived on Beaujolais…[Read more]

Okay, but aI wonder if a long time ago he left Scotland and picked up a regional English accent, because his is not, to my ear, the  classic scottish brogue as epitomized by Sean Connery (more off screen than on) or Fat Bastard (Austin Powers movies).

The reactor in that last video has a thick accent, as you noted. Can you place it? I’m pretty sure it’s some British regional dialect from the main island or one of the other British Isles (not Ireland, of course).

The guy is from Scotland.  Beyond that, I don’t know.  @davis could tell you.

@davis – true, he needs to look after the coalitions that keep him in power.

@Davis:

“Woke has become a snarl word, used by those who resist change to old structures that give an unfair advantage to certain people and keep us from giving the respect and equality to all…”

Thank you. I needed someone to explain this to me like I was 10. Have been walking around doing my lawn, cutting the hedges, and power washing my…[Read more]

You are under the illusion, Unseen, that any government respects the public. With very few exceptions, governments, in fact leaders of any kind, do so to suit their own interests and to maintain the interests of those who keep them in power. Yes, ideology does shape to some degree how they word bills and what they focus on.…

My point exactly. Thank you. In Ukraine, there seems to be a rush to the bottom in order to keep the war going as long as possible. At that time, presumably, there will be a negotiated settlement.

This is a trade war by proxy between Russia and the U.S., and the U.S. is failing. Watch this video from :30 to 12:00 to see what I mean by…[Read more]

LOL

Forget Mars. Venus is probably a better candidate. Yes…Venus, where the surface is so hot it melts lead.

@Davis

If by “terrible news sites” you mean a site like Jimmy Dore. Do I believe anything he says because he says it? No. He’s a politically-oriented comedian. However, he does document his thinking and he does have journalist guests. It’s those sources I take more seriously. Nothing is wrong simply because it was on Jimmy Dore. To say so is…[Read more]

I’m posting to stimulate spirited discussion, not advance science.

@Davis

For many, the problem presented by The Woke (those who interpret what is permitted and what must be destroyed) lies in the the hubris of thinking they have a Pipeline to the Truth and a Right to Interpret and Judge others’ actions and expressions and, that done, to level extrajudicial punishments (boycotts, demonstrations at their place of…[Read more]

Hi @davis… OK, I didn’t really get that. Who did Simon think I was? I suppose I appreciate the condolences. I’m sure I’ll need them some day. Tell me, what happened to Unseen?

Hi @Davis…  OK, I didn’t really get that.   Who did Simon think I was?  I suppose I appreciate the condolences.  I’m sure I’ll need them some day.

Tell me, what happened to Unseen?   He seems to have been replaced by a Republican doppleganger.  Now he thinks that scientific debate happens on YouTube and Twitter (and Lord help us, Facebook!).

@Davis

Ideas are ideas and what you or I or anyone else says is beside the point. The point is what I said.

BTW, don’t interpret anything I post as an indication of what I believe one way or the other, sincerely or insincerely. Trusting what I say to be sincere is very beside the point. Whether what I say is a sincere expression, or not, has…[Read more]

@Davis

Right? This is so UNlike Unseen! It’s like we’ve never seen him before 😂

@Davis

Unseen I never thought you’d turn into a vaccine sceptic. What the fuck?

My thoughts exactly 😂 😂 😂

@Davis

Harry is doing something about the unfairness (and amongst the royal family) injustice in how he was/is treated. He is taking control of his life, looking out for his family (and putting his wife and children first), building up his estate and not taking shit from anyone

Thank you! I’ve been fascinated by what him and his wife are doing a…[Read more]
