Shit got serious 
 
I drank a can of "full fat" the other day. It had been a while.

Its way worse than I remember it, and is fact, utterly shite.

If Barrs had staked their future on that rot all they years ago we would never have heard of them.

Russia missing f**k all IMO.

Quite surprised Tass published this interview with a US Under Sec/State. Can't find it in the Russian language version though.

US doesn’t want new Cold War but Russia needs to listen to world — Nuland

Apparently Tass published a tweet the other day saying that they were the most viewed Russian news source, which shows they have retained their humour as just about every other news source has been banned.

Didn't they change the recipe a few years back?

Still not as annoying as the guff all over Facebook

To be honest, you could put that line in almost any thread on here.

Facebook is for spangles wanting validation for their shitey lives

Dundee getting it sair.

 

"The first NATO Warship A1411, a German replenishment ship, docked near the King George V Wharf Road in the early hours. Followed by NATO Warship F362, a Danish vessel."

It's the stirring romanticism behind the names of these vessels that makes me think the good guys will come out on top here. 

God bless A1411 and F362 and all who bravely sail in them.

*Wipes tear from eye*

It's a great example of "doing something" syndrome 

I think we all know that the real reason is that their marketing people have gauged public opinion, weighed up the sums and come to the conclusion that it will benefit the company and provide good PR if they join the virtue signalling brigade (a la chicken Kiev / Kyiv).

The sad thing is that back in the real world, these type of "marketing" decisions make no difference whatsoever to the average shopper and in fact just leave the company / companies in question open to ridicule by the more "switched on" in society.

Ironically, most CEO's are ruthless, arrogant and completely self absorbed individuals who wouldn't know a "good deed" if it slapped them in the mush from their multi million p/a salary slips, so really, they're fooling nobody, or at least very few I'd hope.......

They’ll be riddled with crabs no doubt. 
 

Or they will be by the time they leave Dundee.

Interesting that Irn Bru can be used as a radiation shield. Will stock up on way home.

If you peel OXO cubes and sellotape the bits together, it makes a handy nucular shield hat

Weird that companies making empty gestures is what gets people passionate & typing on this thread. Who gives a f*ck if Sainsburys change the name from Kiev to Kyiv.

It might confuse yer maw next time she does an online order

It's this or work, so OK.

I went on a radiation protection supervisor training course years ago. It was a great course - in Glasgow, with a trip to the carvery in Paisley every day for lunch. Must have put on a stone that week. For me, I work with X-rays so needed the training. I got chatting to the others there and a few you would expect (Babcock, for the power plants, universities and so on)...and 3 guys from Barr's. 

They use radiation to check if a bottle has been correctly filled with juice. Let me explain - imagine your smoke alarm. You have a very small radiation source and a sensor near it. All day, every day, the source produces radiation and the sensor detects it. When that is interrupted (say, because smoke blocks the radiation) then the smoke alarm goes off.

Barr's used a similar idea. They fill and produce so many juice bottles that they cannot visually inspect every one to make sure it has the right amount of juice in it.  What they do instead is have each filled bottle of juice pass through a system set up like the smoke alarm. A radiation source on one side, a detector on the other. If the bottle has been filled correctly, then the radiation will not reach the sensor. The water in the juice catches the radiation instead. That bottle then travels on the "good" line. If a bottle is, say, half filled (the sensor is near the top of the bottle) then the radiation passes through and the sensor receives it. That bottle would then go on to the "bad" line and be rejected. 

That WAS actually pretty interesting.
