| daftykins | it never stood a chance... | 13:45 |
|---|---|---|
| daftykins | happy Tuesday... on the bench today i have a pal's nvidia GTX 980 Ti to assess the firey damage of | 13:46 |
| zxmpi | any word on the dicky ticker? | 13:49 |
| daftykins | oh yeah Doc's yesterday afty confirmed it's just the ultra rare side effect of the vaccine that i won the lottery on, so i've been prescribed an anti-inflammatory to bring it down and help the recovery | 13:51 |
| daftykins | i've been advised not to exercise all that much if i want to recover quicker, too! | 13:51 |
| zxmpi | erk, hope that's the end of it for you | 13:51 |
| zxmpi | what vaccine did you get again? | 13:51 |
| daftykins | the Pfizer BionTech | 13:52 |
| zxmpi | makes me wonder, my family has a bit of history with the old ticker | 13:52 |
| * diddledani pretending to be an adult | 18:08 | |
| daftykins | uh oh | 18:11 |
| daftykins | have you got a young relative in your care for the evening, or is it simpler than that? | 18:11 |
| diddledani | oh much simpler | 18:11 |
| diddledani | I did a load of washing-up | 18:11 |
| * daftykins gasps | 18:11 | |
| zxmpi | a clipboard with a pencil hanging off tied with a bit of string adds +2 to fake adult :-) | 18:12 |
| diddledani | I don't push the boat out far ;-p | 18:12 |
| daftykins | zxmpi: and PE teacher | 18:12 |
| daftykins | well it's a heavy and tedious boat | 18:12 |
| diddledani | the problem is you have to keep on taking it out over and over and over again | 18:12 |
| zxmpi | it's a boat that always drifts back to shore | 18:12 |
| diddledani | ^ that | 18:12 |
| daftykins | lol yeah | 18:13 |
| diddledani | got celebratory (for being adult for 5 whole minutes) chicken kievs in the oven now | 18:15 |
| daftykins | \o/ supermarket was out of them when i went yesterday | 18:15 |
| daftykins | the shelves were really bare :S | 18:16 |
| diddledani | that'll be brexit ;-p | 18:16 |
| zxmpi | i can post you dehydrated potatos in an emergency :-P | 18:17 |
| diddledani | it britain allowed to stuff their sausage into northern ireland again yet? | 18:17 |
| diddledani | is* | 18:17 |
| zxmpi | i think eu has decided british sausages aren't sausages and are therefore exempt from sausage rules :-P | 18:17 |
| diddledani | oh the ol' offal tubes | 18:18 |
| zxmpi | that's the puppy... or horse | 18:18 |
| diddledani | I don't get why there is an issue - products sold in britain just need a british logo on them and then if they're found abroad it's obvious they are illegal | 18:19 |
| diddledani | and likewise for european products | 18:19 |
| zxmpi | it's complicated, insanely complicated | 18:19 |
| diddledani | meh. gimme a wall! | 18:20 |
| diddledani | didn't Bojo or a lookalike promise a wall?? | 18:20 |
| zxmpi | sure you can build a border wall. that will start a war with ira all over again. uk can't afford that. | 18:20 |
| daftykins | sure it wasn't crossed stories and "Wall's sausages" ? | 18:20 |
| diddledani | aaah. walls bangers | 18:21 |
| daftykins | :D | 18:21 |
| zxmpi | didn't help when priti patel floated a plan to starve ireland and thus eu into submission | 18:21 |
| diddledani | yeah well priti is an obnoxious moo | 18:21 |
| diddledani | like the rest of them ;-p | 18:21 |
| zxmpi | boris agreed with the system in place. now he wants a do over. that's not how international agreements work | 18:27 |
| daftykins | <Goldeneye> "It's me, Boris!" | 21:21 |
| zxmpi | this explains the brexit paradox best https://i0.wp.com/www.autonomyscotland.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/the-irish-border-problem.jpg?resize=500%2C500&ssl=1 | 21:22 |
| daftykins | it's like that puzzle where you have to connect the 3 houses to the 3 utilities | 21:25 |
| daftykins | without any lines overlapping! | 21:25 |
| zxmpi | or in this case pissing off the ira, uvf, british, irish, eu governments and customs border guards | 21:27 |
| m0nkey_ | this brexit nonsense makes me so glad i don't live there anymore. | 21:28 |
| daftykins | :D | 21:28 |
| zxmpi | the version currently in place pisses off the uvf but as they are dependent on uk government for weapons it's the least dangerous option, maybe :-/ | 21:28 |
| m0nkey_ | instead, i get to deal with the quebec separatist bullsh*t from '95 .. even today | 21:29 |
| daftykins | what's that about? | 21:30 |
| zxmpi | qubec wants to be their own independent stateletish | 21:30 |
| daftykins | ah reet | 21:30 |
| m0nkey_ | Back in 1980 and in 1995, Quebec held referendums to separate from the rest of Canada and become their own country. | 21:30 |
| m0nkey_ | They lost, both times. People are still bitter about it. | 21:31 |
| zxmpi | except it wouldn't be viable as a country | 21:31 |
| m0nkey_ | Of course not.. Quebec lives on transfer payments from Alberta lol | 21:31 |
| daftykins | ah yes it got a no by a tiny margin, 50.58 % no, 49.42% yes | 21:31 |
| zxmpi | so they probably want a do over too | 21:32 |
| m0nkey_ | they tried, in 2014 again.. but it was quickly shot down | 21:33 |
| m0nkey_ | if quebec ever separates, i'm leaving and going to ontario | 21:33 |
