Delusions of Grandeur and Permanently Bewildered and Self-appointed Sages09 Jun 2010 10:01 am

By Nelson

I found “Nice One Son” gamely combining ignorance with arrogance and so mistaking “stuff he doesn’t know” for “stuff nobody could possibly know”.

Think the question was something like “Can science save the planet?”.

No they can’t.

Science still cannot answer basic questions;

1. Why are we here?
2. Why do we grow old and die?
3. How can all of this have happened by chance?

Basic questions that need answers.
Nice One Son

I boggled at this for a while, and tried to work out how it had happened. I imagined myself in his shoes and everything became unclear. The shoes were shite and I didn’t know anything. Then I forgot what I was doing. Then I decided to tell the BBC what I’d done today – in case they wanted to use it on the news.

His parents most probably never did. They most definitely always thought he’s a thick cunt.

I’ll change my nickname to NiceOneMate, because i have no friends, and i will then be re-reading my post in my mind, and read “Nice one mate” in the voice of someone else, and for a few seconds i’ll believe that i won’t die alone because everyone in the world thinks i’m a thick boring cunt…

We grow old and die because everything tends to chaos. While it is possible for a collection of molecules that has attained consciousness to be perpetuated indefinitely, the third law of thermodynamics means that if this were the case, the entire universe would eventually become a single living being with a consciousness. There are some, of course, who believe that this has already happened.

I assume he’s hoping in relation to 1) that he was placed on this earth to make assinine comments on HYS, because if it isn’t then it could turn out he was simultaneously wasting his life and publicly humiliating himself.

If it is his true calling, then other questions that science can’t answer- like “Why is the sky blue?” and “Why does my car engine roar to life when I turn the little key?”- remain woefully underasked.

3. How can all of this have happened by chance?

Actually, these are not basic questions at all. These are absolutely humunguous fucking huge bloody questions with great big knobs on them. Take a fucking philosophy class, Nice One Son! Then you can learn to ask true conversation-stoppers, like “Why do we say Why in questions like Why are we here?” and “Who can answer? Who has the right to be able to the answer?” “What do I mean by who?” “Why am I even asking this shit?” Etc., etc.

I’ve often thought that everyone should do a little philosophy, but only a little. The first philosophy book you read contains Great Truths. But after that philosophy basically descends into navel-gazing and becomes the study of the totally fucking obvious.

‘No. Only Nick Griffin can save the planet.’

This is more amusing when you imagine Griffin in a Buck Rogers-esque costume and pose. Possibly.

We’re all mugs. I’ve just realised that the question as posed by the BBC HYS takes for granted that the planet is in danger.

So, if I were a climactic skeptic (snigger, snigger) worth my salt, the answer to “Can science save the planet?” would be “Planet doesn’t need saving, thanks.”

I have visited several hospitals all over, and I park myself in a strategic place for 5 minutes and write the activities going on around me. Excluding cleaning staff, in the best case 41 staff, Doctors, Nurses, Admin etc. walked past. Doing nothing but walking up and down corridors, the worst case there were 76 people of similar stature, just walking several with clip boards, doing absolutely nothing. The average of all the Hospitals together is 52.3 persons per 5 minute spell (any time but mainly daytime) that equates to 5020.8 people doing nothing in an 8 hour period. Forgive me if I seem a little too simplistic but even if you half the number 2510.4 is much to many. Take into consideration that “anything can be moved from one place to another as many times as you like and you will not add a penny value to it. surely the largest single saving can be made in hospital efficiency just pouring tax payers £ in will do nothing to improve the situation, in fact all it is paralleled to is government spending on Quangos.

For “I park myself in a strategic place for 5 minutes and write the activities going on around me” read “I sit in the waiting room and take pictures of unknowing nurses in their black stockings and senisble shoes, so I can later wank myself into a frenzy in the house I share with my mother.”

Ain’t no way an HYS will believe him, poor dear. In fact, those damn terrorists probably paid him to make such lefty-loony statements.

An example:

EPOXY WARHEAD
“Epoxy might be a better top kill method than mud, and in any case a heavier solid is needed – try bismuth and/or iron shot. Delivering the resin and catalyst into the well requires two tubes, though an intermediate pulse of isopropyl alcohol may have a chance or separating the two liquids in a single feed tube, there’d be a risk of simply clogging the feed tube before it reached the well.
“Another alternative plug is a torpedo, wire-guided, with a low speed mode (or restrictor) for manoeuvring into place, and an extended warhead holding just enough charge to split containers of epoxy monomer and catalyst.” – Jeremy, New Jersey, US
EXPERT VIEW
Prof Ershaghi says: “A torpedo or any warhead entering the casing would have made this a major catastrophe as the loss of casing integrity would have resulted in a crater with continuous and uncontrollable oil flow for the next 30-40 years depending on the amount of oil in the reservoir.”

Conclusion:

Firing a warhead into the well not wise

Mmm. How true. Oil, for example. Worthless whether it’s under the seabed or in my central heating tank. Or indeed hospital patients. What possible benefit could there be in moving them from the hospital carpark to nice, clean rooms that could be better used for counting doctors and nurses in? What a load of useless wank. Doctors shouldn’t be allowed to go into corridors for any reason whatever. If they need to have a crap, they can just shit into their patients. Fucking patients are under anaesthetic anyway, so they won’t notice if the doc cuts into their bowels and makes an urgent deposit of brown goods halfway through the operation. As long as he stitches it up again when he’s finished it’ll be OK. Bloody government, paying our doctors to walk from A to B when they could be saving lives.

I can’t do block quotes, however my favourite so far has to be John H who wrote:

“Never watched, never would, ever, I have a brain that stops me watching purile rubbish such as this and the soaps.

And before anyone says that I’m out of date, kill joy etc. I will ask this, as I do to everyone who goes on, and on, and on, about this drivel.

What did you do today?

Did you do what I did? That is, get up, get dressed, have something to eat, did something, talked to someone, did some more things, eat some more food, talked to more people. Then got undressed and went to bed.

It’s what we all do, every day”.

Come on John, be honest. The things you did were just posting on HYS, the people you spoke to were other rabid ringworms’ ringpieces like you who post on HYS and the other things you did were stare into a pit of despair at the fact your mum, and not your brain, stops you watching Big Brother and the soaps because you’re a colossal twat.

Re weallmustvote. If we gave all the nurses them little scooter things, would that make things better or worse? They’d spend less time in transit but they’d probably whizz past the pillock more often. But at least he’d get less chance to stare at their statistics.

And, incidentally, girlfriends do not go round suggesting haircuts all over the place. We may suggest that a haircut is required on occasion, but we don’t generally define what type, and particularly not a crap one (unless we’re bored and in need of a cheap laugh). If he’s got paranoid enough to think he ought to smarten himself up if he’s to keep a top-drawer bird like Konnie, that’s his own fault, not hers.

The average of all the Hospitals together is 52.3 persons per 5 minute spell (any time but mainly daytime) that equates to 5020.8 people doing nothing in an 8 hour period.

weallmustvote is just the sort of citizen we need in the Big Society. Thanks to his work as volunteer hospital hall-monitor, now everyone has at their fingertips the knowledge that it takes him about 6 seconds to note down someone’s height and their clipboard-carrying status.

Perhaps for his next assignment he can monitor the spike in work-rate that occurs when a pissed-off security guard, of outlandish stature, has an extremely productive one-to-one meeting over by the biowaste containment facilities.

you agree then that the haircut is crap?

I remind you that you are under oath

I haven’t seen the haircut. I merely state we ladies only recommend crap ones for a laugh. If you Google images Charlie Brooker it offers you hair as a third word automatically so clearly it’s quite the interweb buzz topic at the mo. Is it the one where it’s all shaved off?

@ loumo

It was an election night haircut. I don’t know if this picture does his complexion justice, but it appeared to have turned the colour of fresh excrement

Speak for yourself; my 3rd date with TYF was forcing him into, I mean, getting him a massive style overhaul. In my defence, he wore a beige fleece on our first date thus forfeiting all rights to any say in his own appearance ever again.

I like Charlie Brooker’s new hair. It can’t just be me and The Huq who do, surely?

Sidenote: how long will it take HEAT to start calling them Huqer, I wonder.

Blimey. Blimey to La Spesh and Blimey to the hair.

Generally I subscribe to the view that you can’t polish a panfried otter’s bollock so I stop returning their calls if I disapprove of their shoes.

The hair’s a bit flopped quiffy for my tastes, and it just doesn’t look miffed enough for him. It’s a bit Tory. Possibly deliberate for electin night, but even so.

I was feeling a little down so I went and read Cuger’s website.

An exponetial event sometime, in the very near future, will make all of you will realise: WE ARE IN BIG TROUBLE, even if you have an IQ of <100.

So, uh… the stupid will not inherit the Earth.

The simplest way to explain all this gobbledygook is; Imagine living in a land of perpetual budgets. What you give with one hand, someone else will take with the other.

All I want is to get back control of my other hand.

The chain, the circle of life that had held in harmony all living things on planet Earth, had been broken, broken by another species of the planet. It had been broken by a vain, self-pleasing, self-gratifying, conceited species called Homo erectus.

According to Wikipedia, Homo Erectus became extinct about 1.3 million years ago.

Right, that’s enough Cuger-baiting for now.

Exceptional.

I think it must be a Zen thing and if we meditate on the nature of “the other hand that takes” we shall achieve Enlightenment. Most likely this Enlightenment will be the realisation that Cugar Brant is indeed King of the Twatbaskets rather than anything more profound but you never know.

Right, so I just need to avoid left-handed people? I do that already.

“Right, so I just need to avoid left-handed people? I do that already.”

Hey!

I’m left-handed, and we of the sinister persuasion are fed up with you smarmy normal righter-than-right types giving us grief about our way of life. I swear, if I hear one more crack about le- *hand flails malcoordinatedly from keyboard and breaks writer’s nose*

I think he’s saying that what Cuger loses in publishing fees gets negatively recouped by Bruce’s marketing work, leaving them both out of pocket and out of hands.

And speaking as a left-hander, I make it a rule to avoid them like a plague of dirty bombs in a sewage plant.

Now there’s a little enigma for you readers to grapple with!!!!!

Because I am a massive twat (notice: AM) I accidentally posted this on the previous thread:

Dearest Nelson, please can we slag off THIS gen-u-ine DM reader’s letter for our next scornfest? I would’ve emailed it as a submish but I am too rubbish. Cheers.

No, that’d be too bloody simple wouldn’t it. Instead it’s dozens of snide comments, sneers and suggestions so subtle they can barely be said to have occured at all.

I’m not one to generalise, but all women are crazy bitches. Not that I’m prejudiced or anything, some of my best friends are tarts.

Oi! La Spesh, scroll upwards, it’s already been done. Keep up.

We’ve discussed Mike Phelps’ (the twat, not the swimmer) opinion. Although I do think a thread dedicated to him is certainly worthy.

Truth. When I a) had hair and b) had a girlfriend she would mostly limit the location of any suggested haircut to my head.

@RLFB – well, I DID say I am a massive twat. I have read the whole thread, so how did I miss it? I shall slink off even more shamefully now. In my defence, have been in hospital recently and am still slightly monged out from the drugs (man).

PS @Kris – I’m not subtle at making suggestions about TYF needing a haircut. I’ve spent all week telling him he looks like a date-rapist footballer from the 70s, although truth be told, it’s more like Peppermint Patty.

I smartened myself up for her, and she still didn’t even know I existed.

One day, perhaps …

I expect you’re actually a muff-diver or something.

Don’t worry, all this sexism is going under the ‘Jimmy Carr Irony Umbrella’ so it’s alright.

@Kris – under the umbrella and riiiiiiiiiiiiiight back out again into the hood of the Jo Brand Sneering At Unoriginal Sexism Pac-a-Mac. Am not a lesbian; I just go for men who can actually make proper jokes.

Hang on, weallmustvote puts himself ‘strategic place’ so he’s either blocking part of an important thoroghfare or the other option is he’s gone onto a ward for no fucking reason and is eavesdropping on confidential info. Plus he spends time collating info on people with clipboards… presumably on a clipboard?
He is a rectal tumour,a syphilitic cock, a colostomy bag of a half-man
