News thread

How about a news thread in general for all the crazy stuff happening in the world?



*whoops wrong spot I'll make this a general thing *

Did everyone read about that WiiU advert that got banned in the UK?

Yeah apparently it was misleading or something as not all games are not playable on the gamepad

I suppose given the ignorance of Jonny Public that's fair enough.

So, that snow, eh? It's pretty... cold! And wet!

(Trouble is the other BBC headline stories are pretty depressing. Algerian Hostage Crisis or Islamic Paedophilia Ring. Hardly prime amusement material.)

The snow around here is pathetic. It might as well not bother.

Also: media hype about snow is just as tedious as every other type of media hype.

Warning: Cold things are cold. Winter often has a lot of cold things.

Also: Kids in "fun things more fun than boring things" shocker.

You have to love all the fuss and trouble even a little bit of snow causes here in the UK, makes you wonder how other countries deal with it so well eh? : P

The snow here hasn't stopped for hours but it's been so light that it's barely noticable on the floor, I'm still kind of expecting a blanket of snow when I wake up tomorrow though.

What was it I heard about a helicopter crashing due to some fog or something?

Into a crane, apparently.

No snow for us. None at all. Bit disappointing.

What's that Balla?

We've had quite a bit of snow here today too, it's been a long time since I have seen so much to tell the truth!

The 'snow' here is a complete joke, as I type this. I am very jealous of you people!

So jealous! All we've got is snow mixed in with a load of rain

The snow can bite my boaby (loose translation: I hope it stays away)

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the HORRIBLE BLIZZARD we've had here in Lunnon. Hasn't really settled in a lot of places either, so instead of white fluffy snow it's turned immediately into slush.

On a separate topic, anyone sorry for Lance Armstrong? No? Anyone hope he gets what's coming to him? That'll be me.

Awwww poor Balla. :p I had a great time in the snow thanks!

Maybe if they legalised doping there would be fewer doping offences...OR they could reintroduce the stocks that they had back in [insert correct year here] and if they were caught doping we could throw raw fruit and faeces at them. :witch:

And... witch-burning, is your picture suggesting?

It's getting stupidly snowy now. Just plain ridiculous.

It might make me a terrible person, but I think this is the funniest thing I've seen for a while: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-21108337

I'm joining you in Hell.

nope just like the smiley but witch burning should be at the top of the 'political agenda'.

Fantastic. Utterly utterly fantastic, I couldn't believe it when I read this.

You're not terrible, the Tweenies is just what's needed to diffuse the situation.
