Good old Chopper.

 

"Opinion: The one way to control Facebook — delete your account"

.........or even better, never join Facebook or Twitter. If that makes me a Neo-Luddite, then that's just fine with me. This tiny section of the not606 forum is quite enough, I reckon.

Yes, well I'm sure he's very funny but unfortunately I hardly understand a word he's saying, although I did catch one or two 'f' words, just one or two. Does he use Facebook, or does he 'tweet'?

 

I have to admit to being 'harvested' due to my Facebook 'likes' and outrageous comments!

 

WTF. There's some serious brain fade going on here. I think it might start with the car behind giving a toot on the horn, then panic stations. Watch the front wheels as the car at times is put into drive while the car is still sliding backwards. Why no brake when the car races forward again? Has to be panic. Then back into reverse at speed, brakes then into the gutter, then reverse for a second. You'll probably need a repIay or two just to appreciate what happened. think the person probably needed a good line after this.

 

Journalism can be a wonderful thing, no doubt about it, but in today's shallow world, it can at times be little more than fatuous drivel. In this morning's online edition of NEWS.COM.AU, they ran a piece built around what they described as "chaos" in some Macca's eateries because the restaurants ran out of bloody hash browns.

Of course I hope everyone has missed the obvious here .... that in spreading the story, I've fallen into the same squalid cesspool as NEWS.COM.AU. Not that I've spent 4 years learning the trade then have that time and effort wasted on garbage such as this, but right now I do feel like a bit of a dick, as I now find myself in the same boat as them. Ahhh well, what's for breakfast? What ...no hash browns? Ahhh for ****'s sake.

That will teach Paxo. He certainly got his testicles crushed between two bricks. He should not have had that bottle of spiced honey mead wine that he’s really been into recently.

 

Airstrikes on Syria have destroyed 'large part' of Assad's chemical weapons stock, says French Foreign minister after US, France and Britain launch response to 'evil and despicable' attack

If Russia strike Cherbourg the plan (from inside sources) is to evacuate Manche. My son has packed his tent and fuelled up ready to go. My daughter is also preparing to go.

Could get nasty

 

I wouldn't think Russia would launch an attack on Cherbourg Ron, they're more likely go to the UN Security Council. As the raids didn't target Russian military positions, it would seem unlikely that Russia will hit American bases in the middle east. They'll probably hit locals supported by the US. If that's so, a Cherbourge raid seems pretty much out of the question. I just can't see Russia being silly enough to launch rockets at France.

 

An interesting article.

Better start spending my inheritance and do some horizontal dancing down at the local Gentleman's Club!

 

If it's horizontal dancing with delectable lasses you're after get across to Dubai. I've never been but had a beer with a good mate the other day who has recently altered his marital status. Ladies nights at their posh hotels look very sociable indeed.

 

Used to listen to the cassette on the dear old Walkman on my (working) travels throughout Scotland; would burst out laughing on the trains to outlying parts of my country! Streets ahead of Dame Edna!
