Always thought Ed was just ahead of the evolutionary curve.

By a neck.

Not the Olympics, but rather the CrossFit Games 2024 ongoing in Texas.

This is one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen.

"Don Faul, CEO of CrossFit, told reporters the organization is working with local authorities on an investigation.
Faul said a safety plan had been created for the event with safety personnel present on site."

And yet… the second video (posted by 21 Chapo) is the kicker. The Serbian athlete’s dead body has since been recovered. Truly unbelievable that this can happen in front of so many people and live on ESPN. Criminal, in fact.

No films, no music, no sleep: Is ‘raw-dogging’ long flights heroic or foolish?

RichM

Amps I would say it’s neither heroic or foolish but just fucking pointless.

RichM I actually just mostly watch the moving map too, as I am interested in seeing where we are going.

And bracing myself for some absolutely minging wind shear as we head over the Tibetan plateau.

In between dozing off for half an hour at a time, listening to some classic Danny Howells or something.

Anyone following the story about Mike Lynch and co?

Both defendants now either killed or missing, one taken out by car in Cambridgeshire and the other potentially at the bottom of the sea

All in the weeks post their multi billion fraud trial acquittal

Just a coincidence?

I am Hursty.

I was just wondering the same thing.

Whoever the top shareholders of Hewlett Packard are/were should be investigated - the whole thing smacks of one of them being very well connected and very angry.

Hursty

Matthew Schanck, chair of the Maritime Search and Rescue Council, said : “This was a very advanced, modern commercial vessel and to suffer such a catastrophic failure and subsequent sinking is a real concern".

Also, odd that 22 people people were on the yacht, but the ones apparently dead are: Mike Lynch, his daughter, his lawyer (plus wife), and the chair of Autonomy’s audit committee in 2010 (plus wife)…

Hursty Unfortunate coincidence, you can’t engineer a freak tornado with eye witnesses

RichM

bosstrabs surely you know where you are going as it says it on your boarding pass, and you probably decided to go there before you boarded the plane?

I rarely watch anything on flights these days, but drinking, listening to music and sleeping are a must.

bosstrabs

RichM It’s quite interesting to the Hugo in me, especially since Western airlines have been banned from flying over Russia.

So from Beijing or Shanghai to Western Europe, there are various paths a flight can take.

ALL OF WHICH END UP IN THE BA GALLERIES LOUNGE AT HEATHROW, for me.

Smallman1

I’m normally thinking about how the lounge is going to be on the way back.
