Deathray

I currently have a fan on me. I'm not talking about the heat though, just Deathray sending me admiring PMs faintly disguised as "hate mail". I haven't PMed you for ages and it's very definitely hate mail.

I think tmib hinted that this happens much more regularly than you'd think earlier in this, or last years, thread.

The scale of flooding is massive and we've been lucky that there's been no deaths. Areas in Cumbria that can take a deluge or to have been flooded three times in a fortnight, compared to the normal once a year frequency of these floods. The Foss river barrier in York is designed to withstand a once in a hundred year flood, similarly the barrier on the river in leeds and the river Ouse. The floodwater should, as has happened in Selby, run onto local farmland - submerging it - to prevent flooding in the city centre and damage to urban areas; I believe farmers are compensated for loss of crops.

Cheers for the entries folks. They have been noted.

I saw a few lines from an interview with PM Cameron on the floods. He denied government neglect responsibility or neglect with an ease that made me think: mostly labour voters there, IIRC. Actually York's quite a Conservative voting area. Leeds, where there's an even more substantial case for government culpability votes Labour though.

The flooding in Yorkshire looks unbelievable. Having regularly visited York I've seen the Ouse burst it's banks a few times but never that much - certainly never beyond the footpaths to the side of it. The Foss bursting onto Huntingdon Road is unthinkable. Thoughts with all the poor souls who've been let down by the government's inability to maintain flood defences.

It's daft to be fair.

Not driving in one of the most pedestrian-friendly towns you'll live in. If I was in a better mood this could be a room lovely contender - due to knowledge of the area getting me home - but I'm not. Got a taxi back from a nearby town tonight because i'd been given a bus timetable with imaginary buses on it for boxing day - it's come to something when despite being a two minute drive (I'd guess I'd have no idea how long it actually takes) but it's easier to get out and walk for twenty minutes down the local footpath system than try and get to your house via road in the taxi having to feel like you do don't know where you live despite being about two estates from home. Taxi driver probably thought I was an intellectually challenged lunatic by the time I got out the taxi.

Everyone bar me, cheers.

There's no need to erase old likes through implementing dislikes.

At least his generation aren't satisfied to have their entire fucking worldview spoonfed to them by this guy: Do you not get to go home from the troll factory for Christmas - although I suppose then again you'd have to spend it with your abusive (read: normal human being) mother so maybe you're better off at the factory.

YW - do you really have nout better to do today?

If MK lives in my area of the country his great grandad could have been as young as 52 (even if we assume 18 or over to be generous to these people then 72s a possibility - hardly an exceptionally long life.

To you as well. Merry Christmas DLers. Don't get too drunk, don't eat too much food and don't say anything to offend the family and friends of friends you only see at Christmas.

Given that among all over DPs a standard convention of no under 18s has been adopted should the rules to this not follow suit an categorically limit picks to over 18 years old.

Anyone got any dead certs for next year they'd like to share?

Recycle bin?

Does this happen a lot where people would rather have sex with their instructor than pay out for a driving lesson? I have so many other questions about this. I read a story about a taxi-driver taking payment in sexual acts from would-be fare dodgers somewhere...

If it is like real Football Manager you will have been sacked by New Year 2nd in the EPL with Newcastle United by the end of September, suppose there's still every possibility of being sacked by Christmas looking at Chelsea's real life form.

I just think of a bunch of names on NYE these days. Research is too time consuming.

Petulant mud-slinging contest between two one-inch warriors about who has the biggest dick and can spout the most words they don't know the meaning of.

Jesus, how'd you get back? Wait, you Banshees and Hein are the only other posters on this page - did i find a tardis?

Does that mean the Hare's DP is cancelled next year? Absolutely not. Results will be up by the 31st for this year (I've done a few teams already) and the Hares Death Pool is open for entries as of now.
