Is anyone curious about this snowy weather?

Discussing pesions you may have to be cpt harrigan/danny glover, from predator 2. Hes too old for this shite.

That's OK, so long as I'm Danny Glover in Predator 2 and not Danny Glover in the Lethal Weapon series.

And definitely not Danny Glover in Beloved.

[MDV]

He was badass in predator 2. Went toe to toe with a predator and won, where arnie had to cheat with a big log trap.

I'll be the old ass predator that gives you the gun at the end, since now I'm talking about bloody pensions!

Ah pensions! The Gov' are advertising on the radio about this. They are saying we're all living longer blah blah blah, how are YOU going to pay for it blah ect.

AndyR Your post is along the lines of what I've always thought on the nature part. Nature finds a way and a lot of her ways a fffing horrible as they address imbalances with some pretty scary sh*t.

I think greed will flourish in attempts to put things right.

More people, more poverty, less education, more basic needs. Less people who understand what's going on. Plenty of people who couldn't give a flying f*ck. Some things are beyond control. Face it. Doomed! 

[MDV]

It would be worth a bob or two. Old ass predator is all about preparing for the future, and knew that the police pension scheme wasnt up to snuff.

Naysayer!

You'll have to be Hudson off aliens

"We're all screwed man, game over! Game over!"

You die before drawing a pension, but quite bravely.

You secure that shit, Hudson.

I liked Steve Buscemi's character in the awful film Armageddon with Bruce Willis. It think that was what it was called.
When they were attempting to land on a Comet, he says "Doesn't it make you feel great that everything we need to keep us alive and land this thing safely was made by companys with the lowest tenders" Or something like that.

There was an awfull film with steve buscemi and bruce willis called armageddon where they landed on a comet. I dont remember much though, except lunar rover type things with chain guns.

That line does remind me all too much of work though in, depressingly enough, the nuclear industry.

Big drills into comets, put atom bomb in there, press button save Earth. Yep utter wank.  :lol:

The tender thing flourishes everywhere. Though in your line of work it should be money no object. Like when we design our guitars!  :D

Well this is me eh!!  :lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Xm1XErUvXo

Theres a fit for purpose thing to it thats supposed to stop sub standard service from doing the job. I could spend days listing the problems with that, but its better than nothing.

The main problem is when you know that company X knows the job, has the background and can deliver the good but you cant go to them directly, you have to tender it and hope that they win - thats $%&#ed, imo. Oh, you can make a single supplier business case, but the red tape is staggering.

Yep, thats you, Hudson :lol: You've surely seen aliens before? If not, do so; great film!

I thought Dave Mc was Fozzy Bear!  :lol:

is that a compliment or an insult? :lol:

On, on the general topic of scientific misrepresentation and birbary for carreer furtherence - yeah, some try it, but dont forget peer review!

Any given scientist in any given field can try to falsify or twist results, and when they release their findings all the other scientists in the field will tar and feather him for it precisely because competition is fierce, and its about the only area where intellectual dishonesty is a disqualifier, rather than a carreer booster.

Oh shitee, see what I've done there - joined this thread....uh oh.

word

how come you don't get jumped on when you make statements like that? :( if i'd said that (and I think i probably did, somewhere) i'd get accused of being part of the conspiracy...

and I haven't seen any of the films you're discussing (well, except lethal weapon). I think it's a conspiracy to keep me out of the thread :lol:

[Ian Price]

Lots of people are going to die because either humans have become too successful and too numerous for the environment they inhabit, or the environment itself is gonna pull some trick that the humans have not foreseen and cannot control (eg the Sun does something funny, or the Clangers get wise and nuke us).

But, the more effort we put into piddling about arguing about what's going on and why, and can we stop the damage, the less effort we put into doing what makes humans so successful - adapting and finding solutions (including killing each other, if necessary, directly or indirectly, to make the survivors' lives better).

I've just finished reading a book by Neil Strauss. It's pretty much about survivalists and methods/techniques used to get yourself ready for WTSHTF. Not a bad book at all, pretty well written although it wouldn't surprise me if some of it is a little exaggerated. Some of the stuff in there is a little unbelievable.

I dunno. Maybe people are too burned out on the topic to try to argue.

More importantly

Alien

Alien 3
Alien ressurection

Alien Vs Predator requiem

Wide range of goodness in them, from outstanding to shitee, but you MUST WATCH THEM. The ones that are cr@p are still great fun.

All the conspiracies, you'd have to be Mr Weyland :P

I'd say burke, but he was a scumbag, Weyland at least meant well, before he got skewered.

Yeah, but leave AVP2 until last.  It's the only one I couldn't bring myself to buy on DVD.
