Thread continued from here

The usual rules apply. Non-rugby talk here. Consider this a social place, but like a pub, things like religion and politics can be divisive, so don't say things here you wouldn't say to someone's face in the pub. Sober

Sat up last night for an hour or so and watched the senate testimony of Kavanaugh and his accuser. There isn't enough evidence to convict but there was more than enough credibility in the accusation to go and investigate. Am a bit shocked they are going ahead with the vote today, I think it might really back fire (though perhaps the GOP don't care at this point).

Whether the accusation is true or not however, I wouldn't confirm Kavanaugh to anything - deeply partisan and frankly unpleasant individual.

Dunno whether it was a lot of like minded individuals or people going in late to try get Metallica tickets but traffic was non-existent for me coming into Dublin City this morning.

Elon in trouble again. Though I find it interesting that the SEC had offered a deal, but Musk and his lawyers turned it down last minute and decided to fight the charges. Only then did Tesla stock crash. I wouldn't be surprised if this blows over.

They said on 2fm he was getting charged with criminal damage, what happened?

He's out on bail. But in terms of criminal damage, it's just criminal damage to the door he opened. So more than likely a slap on the wrist and throw a few quid into the poor box.

Still no broadband here. 25 days later and with an engineer coming out Saturday I get the brainwave to go into the basement and look at where the phone line comes in to the building... The flat literally just hasn't been connected. Every other flat is, mine is numbered but not connected up. If there weren't 40+ loose wires I'd do it myself, paying an engineer £130 to do it is gonna be pretty bitter...

Joe Marler retiring from international rugby. That will be a setback for England going into the AIs and Six Nations next year.

Yer man who chased the plane got away with it pretty much.

And then mooned the photographers outside court.

To be fair, the thread makes it seem like they narrowed down a HUGE amount of possibilities to reach an accurate conclusion, but it seems much more likely they had a tip and went backwards.

Well, they *do* say they got a tip...

I'm the same, but the thread is well worth a read - just to see how they pinpointed the location, and how they used clues in the video to ID the perpetrators. You can read it without having to watch any of the video.

You got further than I did. Ever since I had my own children I find it very difficult to read about violence towards kids. Would keep you awake at night to think about what we are capable of as a species.

One of the Skripal suspects has been identified by Bellingcat.

Great piece of investigative journalism.

Anyone watch Trump last night. Car crash TV. Easy to see why his lawyers wouldn't let him be interviewed by Mueller.

I wouldn't let him be interviewed by Lionel Hutz, if I was his lawyer.

Guy buys old watch at car boot sale and it turns out it's quite rare. I won't spoil it but it's a good read.

No interest in golf, but just hope that Tiger Woods gets beaten like a ginger stepchild during the competition

i don't have much interest in golf but I'm the opposite when it comes to Tiger, I hope he does well and can get back to being competitive again.
