dirty dingus Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I saw Peter Ebdon trending on twitter there so naturally thought he was dead. To my surprise he was just promoting all sorts of woo on the radio. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone on twitter had said Spray them with indelible ink so we know who to stay away from for the next 14 days. That's a guid idea. II'm watching Dortmund v Schalke on BT just now. Nae punters but when the teams came out Dortmund weren't wearing masks but Schalke were. When the game started Schalke discarded the masks. At the start of the game the Dortmund no.8 clearly wiped his nose on his sleeve. I'll be taking lessons from him for when I'm allowed out to face the hordes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest_Fifer Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I'm a flat-earther until some one tells me different. (I'm no really but I would still like this question answered). eg Peasy is up in a spaceship and he can see the entire planet earth from his window. He has a very powerful telescope and he zooms into Perth and sees me waving to him. He then zooms into Wellington, NZ and sees my cousin also waving to him. My question is;- is my cousin standing on his head? If no, why no?No. He's standing on his feet. There is no absolute direction "down". Down is locally towards the centre of the earth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did look to see if Del from "Beyond the Imaginary Curve" was at Glasgow Green. If you dont know him, imagine a typical thick 40 year old ned from Paisley who thinks pouring water on a deflated football and watching it all drip off is a disproof of gravity. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were in a spaceship which was far enough away to see the top and bottom of the world and you had a powerful telescope and you saw me standing in Perth, Scotland and you saw my cousin in NZ or my other cousin in Broken Hill, Australia. Would he and I be standing upright like the staunch citizens we are. Or would he be upside doon? Get a ball an tape two figures to opposite sides then stand back and look at it. Both figures would 'feel' like they were standing upright themselves. For you, as the space observer, whether one was 'upright', 'sideways' or 'upside down' would depend entirely on how you were looking at the ball. Turn it one way and the Scottish figure would be upright and the Aussie would be upside down. Turn the ball round and it would change. Upright and upside down and totally relative terms and only make sense when you're talking about your specific orientation with respect to your point of reference (in this case, the earth). If you're not on Earth, you'd see those terms don't really have much meaning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why else have they stopped showing the comparison graphs, why else was R a vital measure for approximately 24 hours, why else is Hancock suddenly announcing they ring fenced care homes with safety or whatever absolute bollocks he came out with. Absolutely everything they say is designed to shift the blame / make themselves look better, and the confusion and obfuscation this causes costs lives. It's still a vital measure here according to the front page of the News Letter.

Labour would be doing the same thing if they were in power. The only politician I see NOT doing this is Sturgeon. She is a superb example of how to handle a crisis like this when nothing is certain. The only answer Boris and his team should be giving right now is "we don't fucking know for sure but we're trying our best". The layout of the House of Commons is confrontational. Not so for Holyrood. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The layout of the House of Commons is confrontational. Not so for Holyrood.Scottish politics is still very confrontational. Yes the Chamber is designed to reduce that but the impact is minimal.I can just about accept that Scottish political discourse is slightly healthier than the uk as a whole, but there's not much in it, and it's still embarrassingly poor. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Johnson’s living a nightmare and I am loving it. Yep for a so called communicator he can’t reliably follow the script and is even worse when off script. The Commons with no braying hordes to distract us and an opposition leader who at least appears coherent really is BoJo’s worst nightmare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your reply but that is why I cannae comprehend the argument that the earth is round in this particular instance. If I take a globe and stick a guy at the north pole and stick another guy at the south pole then surely the guy at the south pole is 'upside down' If you're not on Earth, you'd see those terms don't really have much meaning Again I'm no following that. Are you saying that there is a position in space where someone in a space ship could see the earth with the south pole at the top and the north pole at the bottom? It disnae work. BTW it's 4-0 Dortmund with 5 minutes to go. Edited May 16, 2020 by Wee Willie -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
