“What are your memories of the tsunami?” was refreshingly free of inane self-obsessed grumbling, idiotic pet theories or attempts to hammer the Nick Griffin into every possible debate. Still, there’s always good old surreal weirdness.
Please note that there is a technology to create and/or enhance any kind of “natural” disaster…

It’s like a hand-blender, but nuclear. You just stick it in the sea or the Earth’s molten core and you’re away.
I watched that ugly incident live on the screen and it has left me with a strong belief that the world is about to come to an end. I don’t think anybody is safe with that kind catastrophy similar to that which prompted Noah to build an ARK.

It’s a scary thought, but you know what’s scarier? Just the other day, I was watching David Attenborough and I saw a fucking COBRA on the screen. What if God sends a massive cobra to destroy the world this time? Best you build a giant wooden mongoose as well, just to be sure.
It certainly cut down on the amount of piracy in the south China seas area for a while. Sad that so many innocents died along with the pirates.

Like they say, every cloud has a silver lining. Maybe you should give Tibor a ring and the two of you could get yourselves down to Somalia with his gadget. Sorted.

But we have all missed the most important aspect of the “Boxing Day Tsunami”:
Which makes it all OK, I guess.
Hugh is a limpid limpet’s languid labia.
Ah, a response to Hugh!!!
Like cloning Tibor TK?
Nobody spotted the typo.
It clearly should have been:
Hugh McLoughlin, Bellend
There is always fucking one isn’t there? Sadly Hugh, it is you.
And he has a blog:

Fairly sure it’s him as he has mentioned dates and the church clendar in his inane posts.

Tibor must have gotten Sim City for Christmas.
You didn’t donate any, did you Bruce, so it’s none of your fucking business. (He’s never far from the hub, is he?)
And perhaps we should point Tibor towards our old chum Kneel Craig – he knows a bit about technology and disasters – perhaps they could drill a large hole in the ocean floor with a plug in it, and when the tsunami hits, take out the plug, send all the water down to the earth’s core, and harness 9% of the resulting super-heated steam to provide energy for the construction of his Scottish tunnel. Result.
You may know it as the “Kadir-Buxton Technology.”
This thread has really bought out the lunatics. Even avoiding the right wing mentality of the average HYSer it brings home how unbelievably self centred they are – they literally can only relate to an event in terms of how it affected them.
The main question is “Were you affected?” – I’d say that is asking for people who were actually directly affected by the event, not moved by images on TV – as harrowing as they were… but obviously it’s all about ME ME ME!
Crikey Max you’re right. And if the epicentre had been inside your head, around which the whole universe turns, then you would have really copped it. (I also picture him rubbing his eyes in an insincere boo hoo gesture when he add the condescending “sad” at the end).

I know Giorgio means well and language is a problem… but “god save the queen”?
Giorgio Giuliani is the steampunk Singularity.
Flinkus, you sad little badger’s nadger, what is it with the Random Capitalisation of Words? Not to mention the “Hyphenated-Words-In-Quotation-Marks.” It’s not as if any further excuse is needed for treating your words as the suppurating pile of pure that they undoubtedly are.
@random punter
I think you’ll find his surname is “Zod”. Middle name “before”.
My brother-in-law and his family were there when it happened, though they ended up ok. But I don’t go on to HYS to ramble about it. No, my rambling destination of choice is SYB. Errr. No, it’s the South Gyle car park between 11pm and 2am. Nope, that’s not right either.
I’ll get my “dog.” Soon be time for “walkies.”
It’s Giorgio’s ‘happiness and fire’ comment that worries me. Is he going to be sneaking round, torching townhouses while his neighbours are out celebrating tonight?
I bet you remember it well Giorgio, sat in you nice villa on the Tuscan hillside. You had forgotten until the BBC reminded you to get your Grief Athlete trainers on,the next subject is Diana-remember how she touched your life in so many ways?
Yeah. Plus everyone who died in the tsunami had, like, funny coloured skin and shit.

2010… first!
Jesus, it’s like the fucking Somme out there!
Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom.
Boom, Boom, Boom.
Where is the start line on a circle?
Happy hypothetical New Year.
We’ll have proper English (not British) time here, thank you very much…
Happy New Year all, from Irish time here!!!!
Wonders who’s going to be the first sad pedantic git to point out that the decade doesn’t actually finish until the end of 2010.
Oh fuck, it’s me isn’t it?
No doubt 2010 will be filled with the same snookerloopy fucktarded twatbasketry from HYS and the like as 2009 was.
So bearing that in mind, Happy New Year and god help us!
Happy new year/decade/almost decade/whatever, all.
@Mal:
What does the new year hold for British politics?
Looks that way.

“Jesus, it’s like the fucking Somme out there!
Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom.
Boom, Boom, Boom.”
Don’t tell me… “Boom”?
How did you guess ???
Happy New Year too, since this seems to be the default NY thread. As for ringing the changes, one of the first topics on a “professional” site I use was about job interview techniques for IT contractors. The fifth response ended with this highly relevant advice useful for all job seekers:
I’m anticipating a telephone interview this week. Perhaps I should try shouting that down the phone when I’m asked about my experience with C++.
