  1. Not sure if I posted before but I was within a couple of hundred metres of the Address hotel blaze in Dubai 18 months ago, it happened on Hogmanay very close to the Burj Khalifa firework / laser show. From first noticing the fire on the lower 2 floor balconies to it being a 20+ floor blaze took literally 2-3 mins. Cladding was the cause of speed of spread or if I'm not remembering wrongly, more to do with the epoxy that fixed the cladding? It's now unlawful to attach non fire retardant cladding and new cladding has to be retro-fitted to buildings over a certain number of floors.
  2. That is unbelievable, like another mentioned, it's a catalogue of concerns going back years. Surely there will be manslaughter prosecutions on individuals responsible? Not a time for jokes but couldn't help but notice the nearby tower that caught fire was called "Adair Tower" - which immediately made me think of Red.
  3. Whenever we are making love, he insists on giving me the "reach around" and whispers in my ear, I knew I had gone all the way through. Wears thin quickly!
  4. That was a mistake, it only happened once, AND the effects wouldn't have been so bad if you had done as asked and worn the "spunk goggles" ffs!
  5. Chips cannot be ruined! By vinegar, lighter fluid, manure or plutonium - take that back!!!!! I'm livid.
  6. It's kind of a juxtaposition to hold though? I believe that you are genuine in your concern & affinity in regards to gay rights, but the DUP alliance & the likely dropping of the ECHR legislation in the forthcoming parliamentary term kind of makes these types of issues a central issue at present?
  7. As long as it's not the same way that Kincs is - "functioning alcoholic" #bantz
  8. No, I'm not. My sister is 6 years old. Still want the panties?
  9. Ffs, you've got no luck (other than living in a country that sells used women's underwear in vending machines obvz) good luck. As an aside, it's my sisters birthday on the 27th June.
  10. Any useful uses for heavier fluid? I've got an abundance of that.
  11. Plan a Lava game, it's possible to make it from any one point to another if you imagine the floor is lava.
  12. Rather than pedant arguments, can you offer an answer to the wider point? I genuinely don't know where you stand on this.
  13. No, the persecution begins when one group is not allowed to marry & other groups are.
  14. First time for everything I guess! But other than a specific date sometime in the future (who knows what could happen in the next 8 hours let alone 8 years), I agree completely with that strategy, first thing to establish is the right for Holyrood to call a referendum at a time of their choosing.
  15. I'm perhaps picking you up wrong, in the case of say, gay marriages, are you saying that if the elected representatives stand on a platform of outlawing it & are elected, then this should be the case? By definition a minority may find it difficult to elect representatives with views more in line with their way of thinking, making the smaller the minority group you belong to, possibly open to more persecution?
  16. What about, if the liberal authoritarianism is pushed to protect minorities?
